Chapter 33, Problem 1RQ
A hydronic heating system uses ______to move heat around in the system.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The media used by hydronic system to move heat around in the system.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Hydronic heating system uses water or steam to move heat around in the system.
Explanation of Solution
Hydronic system is the system in which the transfer of heat from one place to another place is done by the means of water or steam. The hydronic system consists of pipes which carry hot water to warm the space and can carry cool water to absorb heat from the space.
Hydronic heating system contains a heating device, expansion tank, pump and a network of pipe. The heating device can be a boiler which boils the water and add some heat to increase its temperature.
The hot water is pumped into the pipe network by the means of a pumping device. The hydronic system is a closed system so there is an expansion tank where water expands and can cool for another cycle.
Conclusion:
Thus, hydronic heating system use water or steam to move the heat around in the system.

The feed flow rate to an adiabatic continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) in which an exothermicreaction is occurring is increased from 1000 to 1400. kg/h, causing the outlet temperature to change as shown:a) Briefly explain on a physical basis why the temperature in this system oscillates after a step increasein the inlet flow rate. Be clear, complete, and concise. c) You know that this oscillating response cannot be that of two first order processes with real timeconstant acting in series. Assuming the reaction is first order and the CSTR operates with constant holdup,derive the block diagram with all transfer functions indicating how the temperature would respond to the feedflow rate step change (W’(s) as input and T’(s) as output). An intermediate variable in this block diagram willbe the concentration of A in the reactor, represented by CA’(s). d) A correct result for part c) will include a feedback loop in the block diagram, indicating the responsein T to a change in w is not…

Q.1. The press shown for Figure.1 has a rated load
of 22 kN. The twin screws have double start Acme
threads, a diameter of 50 mm, and a pitch of 6 mm.
Coefficients of friction are 0.05 for the threads and
0.08 for the collar bearings. Collar diameters are 90
mm. The gears have an efficiency of 95 percent and a
speed ratio of 60:1. A slip clutch, on the motor shaft,
prevents overloading. The full-load motor speed is
