Which type of ice maker has a continuous harvest cycle?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The type of ice maker that has a continuous harvest cycle.

Explanation of Solution

Flake ice is generally made in a vertical cylinder and is placed inside the evaporator. It is a thin piece of ice and can be seen in restaurants.

It is formed by maintaining a water level inside the cylinder. An auger is rotated at constant rate inside the cylinder. The machine that makes this type of ice has a constant harvest cycle. This cycle is maintained as long as the auger and compressor are operating.

The auger is rotated by means of a motor which has a suitable gear arrangement. This motor may be kept on the top or at the bottom of the rotating auger.

The auger is placed in a vertical position and has a shaft seal. If the motor is on top of auger, the shaft seal prevents gear oil from draining into the ice. If the gearbox is placed at the bottom of auger, the shaft seal prevents the water from entering into the gearbox.

Q. After a puncture a driver is attempting to remove a wheel nut by applying a force of P KN to one end of a wheel brace as shown in Fig. 1. In cross-section the brace is a hollow steel tube (see section aa) of internal diameter r mm and external diameter q mm. wheel nut n Position S P m r q Section aa Fig, 1 (a) Calculate (i) the twisting moment, (ii) the bending moment, and (iii) the shear force in the brace at position S due to the applied load P. (b) Calculate (i) the shear stress due to twisting, and (ii) the bending stress at position S. Note that the shear force will not produce any shear stress at S. (c) Calculate the maximum shearing stress in the brace at position S using the Maximum Shear Stress Criterion. 2 Mechanics of Materials 2 Tutorials Portfolio: Exercise 5 (d) If the maximum permissible shear stress in the steel is 200 MPa, determine the maximum torque that can be applied by the brace without the risk of failure at S.

Refrigerant-134a is expanded isentropically from 600 kPa and 70°C at the inlet of a steady-flow turbine to 100 kPa at the outlet. The outlet area is 1 m2, and the inlet area is 0.5 m2. Calculate the inlet and outlet velocities when the mass flow rate is 0.65 kg/s. Use the tables for R-134a.   The inlet velocity is  m/s.   The outlet velocity is  m/s.
