Chapter 39, Problem 1RQ

After draining gear oil from a transaxie, the technician notices that the oil has shiny, metallic particles in it. What does this indicate?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The condition it indicates if a shiny, metallic particle is draining oil from a transaxle.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

It indicates the condition of excessive wear.

Explanation of Solution

Proper lubrication is required for longer transmission/transaxle life. The lubrication gear oil should be checked and replaced after required specified intervals of time. The condition of the draining oil gives a lot of indication about the parts and components of the transmission/transaxle. Thus, while draining the gear oil if it has some golden or shiny metallic particles in it, this indicates extensive internal wear or damage in the parts of a transaxle.

To make an introduction to a report of a simple design of a compressed air system, which uses the criterion of speed, and not that of pressure drop, to determine the diameter of the pipes, where the capacity of the compressor and the demands of the equipment are expressed in flow.
In an irrigation system, the following characteristics of the pipe network are available.• 100 meters of 4" PVC pipe, 3 gate valves• 500 meters of 3" PVC pipe, 4 gate valves• 200 meters of 2" H.G. pipe, 2 globe valves• 50 litres per second circulate in the pipes:Calculate:1.

Liquid water enters the boiler at 60 bar. Steam exits the boiler at 60 bar, 540°C and undergoes a throttling process to 40 bar before entering the turbine. Steam expands adiabatically through the turbine to 5 bar, 240°C, and then undergoes a throttling process to 1 bar before entering the condenser. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Draw a Temperature-Entropy diagram and mark each of the states 2-5 on this diagram. Determine the power generated by the turbine, in kJ per kg of steam flowing. For the valves and the turbine, evaluate the rate of entropy production, each in kJ/K per kg of steam flowing.
