A large water jet with a discharge of 2m^3 /s rises 90m above the ground. The exit nozzle diameter to achieve this must be. (a) 0.246m (b) 0.318m (c) 1.3m (d) 0.052m (e) None of the above

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'a': 0.046 meters.

Explanation:

We know that the exit velocity of a jet of water is given by Torricelli's law as

[tex]v=\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

where

'v' is velocity of head

'g' is acceleration due to gravity

'h' is the head under which the jet falls

Now since the jet rises to a head of 90 meters above ground thus from conservation of energy principle it must have fallen through a head of 90 meters.

Applying the values in above equation we get the exit velocity as

[tex]v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 90}=42.02m/s[/tex]

now we know the relation between discharge and velocity as dictated by contuinity equation is

[tex]Q=V\times Area[/tex]

Applying values in the above equation and solving for area we get

[tex]Area=\frac{Q}{v}=\frac{2}{42.02}=0.0476m^{2}[/tex]

The circular area is related to diameter as

[tex]Area=\frac{\pi D^{2}}{4}\\\\\therefore D=\sqrt{\frac{4\cdot A}{\pi }}=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 0.0476}{\pi }}=0.246m[/tex]

Thus the diameter of the nozzle is 0.246 meters

Seawater has a specific density of 1.025. What is its specific volume in m^3/kg (to 3 significant figures of accuracy, tolerance +/- 0.000005 m^3/kg)?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]specific\ volume=0.00097\ m^3/kg[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that

Specific gravity of sea water = 1.025

So density of sea water = 1.025 x 1000 [tex]kg/m^3[/tex]

Density of sea water = 1025  [tex]kg/m^3[/tex]

We know that

A piston-cylinder assembly contains air, initially at 2 bar, 300 K, and a volume of 2 m^3. The air undergoes a process to a state where the pressure is 1 bar, during which the pressure-volume relationship is pV = constant. Assuming ideal gas behavior for the air, determine the mass of the air, in kg, and the work and heat transfer, each in kJ.

Answers

Answer:

The mass of the air is 4.645 kg.

The work done or heat transfer is 277.25 kj.

Explanation:

In isothermal process PV=constant. Take air as an ideal gas. For air gas constant is 287 j/kgK.

Given:  

Initial pressure of the gas is 2 bar.

Initial volume of the gas is 2 m³.

Initial temperature is 300 K.

Final pressure is 1 bar.

Calculation:  

Step1

Apply ideal gas equation for air as follows:

PV=mRT

[tex]2\times10^{5}\times2=m\times 287\times300[/tex]

m = 4.645 kg.

Thus, the mass of the air is 4.645 kg.

Step2  

For isothermal process work done is same as heat transfer.

Work done or the heat transfer is calculated as follows:

[tex]W=P_{i}V_{i}ln\frac{P_{i}}{P_{f}}[/tex]

[tex]W=2\times10^{5}\times2\times ln\frac{2}{1}[/tex]

[tex]W=2.7725\times10^{5}[/tex] j

Or,

W=277.25 kj.

Thus, the work done or heat transfer is 277.25 kj.

Answers

Answer:

Rated power = 1345.66 W/m²

Mechanical power developed = 3169035.1875 W

Explanation:

Wind speed, V = 13 m/s

Coefficient of performance of turbine, [tex]C_p[/tex] = 0.3

Rotor diameter, d = 100 m

or

Radius = 50 m

Air density, ρ = 1.225 kg/m³

Now,

Rated power = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\rho V^3[/tex]

or

Rated power = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times1.225\times13^3[/tex]

or

Rated power = 1345.66 W/m²

b) Mechanical power developed =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}\rho AV^3C_p[/tex]

Here, A is the area of the rotor

or

A = π × 50²

thus,

Mechanical power developed = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times1.225\times\pi\times50^2\times13^3\times0.3[/tex]

or

Mechanical power developed =  3169035.1875 W

Six kilograms of nitrogen at 30 °C are cooled so that the internal energy decreases by 60 kJ. Find the final temperature of the gas. Assume that the specific heat of nitrogen is 0.745 kJ / kg °C.

Answers

Answer:

Final temperature will be 16.57°C

Explanation:

We have given mass of nitrogen m = 6 kg

Initial temperature [tex]T_1=30^{\circ}[/tex]

Decrease in internal energy [tex]\Delta U=-60KJ[/tex]

Specific heat of nitrogen [tex]c_v[/tex]= 0.745 KJ/kg

Let final temperature is [tex]T_2[/tex]

Change in internal energy is given by [tex]\Delta U=mc_v\Delta T=mc_v(T_2-T_1)[/tex]

[tex]-60=6\times 0.745(T_2-30)[/tex]

[tex]T_2=16.57^{\circ}C[/tex]

A cylinder with a frictionless piston contains 0.05 m3 of air at 60kPa. The linear spring holding the piston is in tension. The system is heated until the volume is 0.2 m3 and the pressure is 180 kPa. What is the work done by the air? External pressure is 100 kPa.

Answers

Answer:

18 kJ

Explanation:

Given:

Initial volume of air = 0.05 m³

Initial pressure = 60 kPa

Final volume = 0.2 m³

Final pressure = 180 kPa

Now,

the Work done by air will be calculated as:

Work Done = Average pressure × Change in volume

thus,

Average pressure = [tex]\frac{60+180}{2}[/tex]  = 120 kPa

and,

Change in volume = Final volume - Initial Volume = 0.2 - 0.05 = 0.15 m³

Therefore,

the work done = 120 × 0.15 = 18 kJ

What are the two types of furnaces used in steel production?

Answers

Explanation:

The two types of furnaces used in steel production are:

Basic oxygen furnace

In basic oxygen furnace, iron is combined with the varying amounts of the steel scrap and also small amounts of the flux in the Blast Furnace. Lance is introduced in vessel and blows about 99% of the pure oxygen causing rise in temperature to about 1700°C. This temperature melts scrap and the impurities are oxidized and results in the liquid steel.

Electric arc furnace

Electric arc furnace reuses existing steel. Furnace is charged with the steel scrap. It operates on basis of electrical charge between the two electrodes providing heat for process. Power is supplied through electrodes placed in furnace, which produce arc of the electricity through scrap steel which raises temperature to about 1600˚C. This temperature melts scrap and the impurities can be removed through use of the fluxes and results in the liquid steel.

A 60-kg woman holds a 9-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of g/4. Determine the force R which the elevator floor exerts on her feet and the lifting force L which she exerts on the package during the acceleration in-travel. If the elevator supports cables suddenly and completely fail, what values would R and L acquire

Answers

Answer:

force R = 846.11 N

lifting force L = 110.36 N

if cable fail complete both R and L will be zero

Explanation:

given data

mass woman mw = 60 kg

mass package mp = 9 kg

accelerates rate a = g/4

to find out

force R and lifting force L and if cable fail than what values would R and L acquire

solution

we calculate here first reaction R force

we know elevator which accelerates upward

so now by direction of motion , balance the force that is express as

R - ( mw + mp ) × g = ( mw + mp ) × a

here put all these value and a = g/4 and use g = 9.81 m/s²

R - ( 60 + 9 ) × 9.81 = ( 60 + 9  ) × g/4

R = ( 69  ) × 9.81/4  + ( 69 ) 9.81

R = 69  ( 9.81 + 2.4525 )

force R = 846.11 N

and

lifting force is express as here

lifting force = mp ( g + a)

put here value

lifting force = 9 ( 9.81 + 9.81/4)

lifting force L = 110.36 N

and

we know if cable completely fail than body move free fall and experience no force

so both R and L will be zero

What impact does modulus elasticity have on the structural behavior of a mechanical design?

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

The modulus of elasticity has an profound effect on the mechanical design of any machine part as explained below:

1) Effect on the stiffness of the member: The ability of any member of a machine to resist any force depends on the stiffness of the member. For a member with large modulus of elasticity the stiffness is more and hence in cases when the member has to resist a direct load the member with more modulus of elasticity resists the force better.

2)Effect on the deflection of the member: The deflection caused by a force in a member is inversely proportional to the modulus of elasticity of the member thus in machine parts in which we need to resist the deflections caused by the load we can use materials with greater modulus of elasticity.

3) Effect to resistance of shear and torque: Modulus of rigidity of a material is found to be larger if the modulus of elasticity of the material is more hence for a material with larger modulus of elasticity  the resistance it offer's to shear forces and the torques is more.

While designing a machine element since the above factors are important to consider thus we conclude that modulus of elasticity has a profound impact on machine design.

What is the weight in pounds of a gallon of oil that has a specific gravity of .86

Answers

Answer:

Mass of oil will be 7.176 pound

Explanation:

We have given specific gravity of oil  = 0.86

We know that specific gravity is given by [tex]specific\ gravity=\frac{density\ of\ oil}{density\ of\ water}[/tex]

[tex]0.86=\frac{density\ of\ oil}{1000}[/tex]

Density of oil = [tex]860kg/m^3[/tex]

We have given volume of oil = 1 gallon

We know that 1 gallon = 0.003785 [tex]m^3[/tex]

So mass of oil = volume ×density

mass = 0.003785×860 = 3.2551 kg

We know that 1 kg = 2.2046 pound

So 3.2551 kg = 3.2551×2.2046 = 7.176 pound

Water at 200C flows through a pipe of 10 mm diameter pipe at 1 m/s. Is the flow Turbulent ? a. Yes b. No

Answers

Answer:

Yes, the flow is turbulent.

Explanation:

Reynolds number gives the nature of flow. If he Reynolds number is less than 2000 then the flow is laminar else turbulent.

Given:

Diameter of pipe is 10mm.

Velocity of the pipe is 1m/s.

Temperature of water is 200°C.

The kinematic viscosity at temperature 200°C is [tex]1.557\times10^{-7}[/tex]m2/s.

Calculation:

Step1

Expression for Reynolds number is given as follows:

[tex]Re=\frac{vd}{\nu}[/tex]

Here, v is velocity, [tex]\nu[/tex] is kinematic viscosity, d is diameter and Re is Reynolds number.

Substitute the values in the above equation as follows:

[tex]Re=\frac{vd}{\nu}[/tex]

[tex]Re=\frac{1\times(10mm)(\frac{1m}{1000mm})}{1.557\times10^{-7}}[/tex]

Re=64226.07579

Thus, the Reynolds number is 64226.07579. This is greater than 2000.

Hence, the given flow is turbulent flow.

a valueable preserved biological specimen is weighed by suspeding it from a spring scale. it weighs 0.45 N when it is suspendedin air and 0.081 N when it is suspended in a bottle of alchol what is its dencity?

Answers

Answer:

ρ=962.16kg/m^3

Explanation:

The first thing we must do to solve is to find the mass of the specimen using the weight equation

w = mg

m=w/g

m=0.45/9.81=0.04587kg

To find the volume we must make a free-body diagram on the specimen, taking into account that the weight will go down and the buoyant force up, and the result of that subtraction will be the measured weight value (0.081N).

We must bear in mind that the principle of archimedes indicates that the buoyant force is given by

F = ρgV

where V is the specimen volume and  ρ is the density of alcohol = 789kg / m ^ 3

considering the above we have the following equation

0.081=0.45-(789)(9.81m/s^2)V

solving for V

V=(0.081-0.45)/(-789x9.81)

V=4.7673x10^-5m^3

finally we found the density

ρ=m/v

ρ=0.04587kg/4.7673x10^-5m^3

ρ=962.16kg/m^3

During an office party, an office worker claims that a can of cold beer on his table warmed up to 20oC by picking up energy from the surrounding air, which is 25oC. Is there any truth to his claim? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

As we know that heat transfer take place from high temperature body to low temperature body.

In the given problem ,the temperature of the air is high as compare to the temperature  of can of bear ,so the heat transfer will take place from air to can of bear and at the last stage when temperature of can of bear will become to the temperature of air then heat transfer will be stop.Because temperature of the  both body will become at the same  and this stage is called thermal equilibrium.

So an office worker claim is correct.

To 3 significant digits, what is the change of entropy of air in kJ/kgk if the pressure is decreased from 400 to 300 kPa and the temperature is increased from 300 to 900 K? DO NOT ASSUME constant specific heats.

Answers

Answer:

The change of entropy is 1.229 kJ/(kg K)

Explanation:

Data

[tex] T_1 = 300 K [/tex]

[tex] T_2 = 900 K[/tex]

[tex] p_1= 400 kPa[/tex]

[tex] p_2= 300 kPa[/tex]

[tex] R= 0.287 kJ/(kg K)[/tex] (Individual Gas Constant for air)  

For variable specific heats  

[tex]s(T_2, p_2) - s(T_1, p_1) = s^0(T_2) - s^0(T_1) - R \, ln \frac{p_2}{p_1}[/tex]

where [tex] s^0(T) [/tex] is evaluated from table  attached

[tex] s^0(900 K) = 2.84856 kJ/(kg K)[/tex]

[tex] s^0(300 K) = 1.70203 kJ/(kg K)[/tex]

Replacing in equation

[tex]s(900 K, 300 kPa) - s(300 K, 400 kPa) = 2.84856 kJ/(kg K) - 1.70203 kJ/(kg K) - 0.287 kJ/(kg K) \, ln \frac{300 kPa}{400 kPa}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

1) The change in storage of the catchment is 707676800 cubic meters.

2) The runoff coefficient of the catchment is 0.83.

Explanation:

The water budget equation of the catchment can be written as

[tex]P+Q_{in}=ET+\Delta Storage+Q_{out}+I[/tex]

where

'P' is volume of  precipitation in the catchment =[tex]Area\times Precipitation[/tex]

[tex]Q_{in}[/tex] Is the water inflow

ET is loss of water due to evapo-transpiration

[tex]\Delta Storage[/tex] is the change in storage of the catchment

[tex]Q_{out}[/tex] is the outflow from the catchment

I is losses due to infiltration

Applying the values in the above equation and using the values on yearly basis (Time scale is taken as 1 year) we get

[tex]4000\times 10^{6}\times 1.02+0=0.40\times 4000\times 10^{6}+\Delta Storage+34.2\times 3600\times 24\times 365\times 5.5\times 10^{-9}\times 4000\times 10^{6}\times 3600\times 24\times 365[/tex]

[tex]\therefore \Delta Storage=707676800m^3[/tex]

Part b)

The runoff coefficient  C is determined as

[tex]C=\frac{P-I}{P}[/tex]

Lets take

D =Diameter of thin cylinder

t =Thickness of thin cylinder

So a cylinder is called thin cylinder if the ratio of diameter to the thickness is greater than 20 (D/t>20 ).

But on the other hand a cylinder is called thick cylinder is ratio of  thickness to the diameter is greater than 20 (t/D>20 ).

So the governing ratio of thin walled cylinder is 20.

A freight train and a passenger train share the same rail track. The freight train leaves station A at 8:00 A.M. The train travels at a speed of 45 km/h for the first 10 minutes and then continues to travel at a speed of 60 km/h. At 8:35 A.M., the passenger train leaves station A. The pas¬senger train travels first at a speed of 75 km/h for 5 minutes and then continues to travel at a speed of 105 km/h. Determine the location of the siding where the freight train will have to be parked to allow the faster passenger train to pass through. As a safety precaution, it is determined that the time headway between the two trains should not be allowed to fall below 5 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

74.2 km from station A.

Explanation:

We set a frame of reference with the station at the origin and the X axis pointing in the direction the trains run.

The freight train leaves at 8 AM and travels 10 minutes at 45 km/h.

For this problem it is better to convert the speeds to km/min

45 km/h = 0.75 km/min

The equation for position under constant speed is:

X(t - t0) = X0 + v0 * (t - t0)

Since we know the time it will stop moving at this speed:

X(10 - 0) = 0 + 0.75 * (10 - 0) = 7.5 km

After it ran those 7.5 km it will keep running at 60 km/h.

60 km/h = 1 km/min

The position equation for it is now:

X(t - 10) = 7.5 + 1 * (t - 10)

The passenger train leaves the station at 8:35 AM. It travels at 75 km/h for 5 minutes.

75 km/h = 1.25 km/min

After those 5 minutes it will have traveled:

X(40 - 35) = 0 + 1.25 * (40 - 35) = 6.25 km

Then it travels at 105 km/h

105 km/h = 1.75 km/min

Its position equation is now:

X(t - 40) = 6.25 + 1.75 * (t - 40)

Equating both positions we find the time at which they would meet:

7.5 + 1 * (t - 10) = 6.25 + 1.75 * (t - 40)

7.5 + t - 10 = 6.25 + 1.75*t - 70

t - 1.75*t = 6.25 - 70 +10 - 7.5

-0.75*t = -61.25

t = 61.25 / 0.75

t = 81.7 minutes

The freight train will have to be parked 5 minutes before this at t = 76.7 minutes.

At that moment the freight train will be at:

X(76.7 - 10) = 7.5 + 1 * (76.7 - 10) = 74.2 km

What is the function of air preheater? How does air preheating save fuel?

Answers

Answer:

Air preheater:

 Air preaheater is a heat exchanger which take heat from flue gases and increase the temperature of the air before entering into the  combustion process.

As we know that ,flue gases contains high temperature and that temperature can be used by air preheater and it will reduce the amount of  heat addition in the combustion process and that leads to increase the efficiency of plant.When heat addition reduces for the same out put of power it means that less amount of fuel is required for the same out put of power as without using air preheater. The main purpose of air preheater is to increase the thermal efficiency.

By increasing the temperature of air it will reduce the amount of fuel reduce for the combustion.

A rocket developed by an amateur was traveling upwards at a velocity given by v = (11 + 0.2s) m/s, where s is in meters. Determine the time for the rocket to reach an altitude of s = 80 m. Initially, s = 0 when t = 0. [Hint: obtain initial velocity].

Answers

Answer:

Time taken to reach 80 meters equals 4.4897 seconds.

Explanation:

We know that velocity is related to position as

[tex]v=\frac{ds}{dt}[/tex]

Now it is given that [tex]v=(11+0.2v[/tex]

[tex]\frac{ds}{dt}=(11+0.2s)\\\\\frac{ds}{(11+0.2s)}=dt\\\\\int \frac{ds}{(11+0.2s)}=\int dt\\\\[/tex]

Now since the limits are given as

1) at t = 0 , s=0

Using the given limits we get

[tex]\int_{0}^{80} \frac{ds}{(11+0.2s)}=\int_{o}^{t} dt\\\\\frac{1}{0.2}[ln(11+0.2s)]_{0}^{80}=(t-0)\\\\5\times (ln(11+0.2\times 80)-ln(11))=t\\\\\therefore t=4.4897seconds[/tex]

How much would a 10.0 inch long, 0.25 inch diameter AISI 1020 Q&T bolt stretch when loaded with 2000 lbs?

Answers

Answer:

0.014 in

Explanation:

The Young's module of steel is of E = 210 GPa = 30*10^6 psi

The section of the bolt would be:

A = π/4 * D^2

The stiffness would be:

k = E * A / L

k = π * D^2 * E / (4 * L)

k = π * 0.25^2 * 30*10^6 / (4 * 10) = 147000 lb / in

A convenient and cost-effective way to store biogas is to use light-weight, rigid gas containers. The pressure and temperature of biogas stored in a 10 m^3 container are 1.5 bar and 5°C, respectively, as measured at an early morning time (state 1). The temperature of the biogas is expected to increase to 40°C at noon on the same day, without any significant change in the volume of the container or amount of methane in the container (state 2). The biogas can be approximated as methane (CH4) modelled as an ideal gas with constant specific heat ratio, k = 1.4. The effects of gravity and motion are negligible. The reference environment pressure and temperature are, respectively, po = 100 kPa and To = 0 °C. The molecular weight of methane is M = 16.04 gmol-1. The universal gas constant is R= 8.31 J mol-1K-1. (a) Calculate the mass, in kg, and amount of substance, in mol, for the methane in the container.

Answers

Answer:

10.41 kg

Explanation:

The gas state equation is:

p * V = n * R * T

For this equation we need every value to be in consistent units

1.5 bar = 150 kPa

5 C = 278 K

n = p * V / (R * T)

n = 150000 * 10 / (8.31 * 278) = 649 mol

Multiplying the amount of moles by the molecular weight of the gas we obtain the mass:

m = M * mol

m = 16.04 * 649 = 10410 g = 10.41 kg

Thermal conductivity of AISI 316 Stainless Steel at 90ºC is 14.54 W/m K. Convert this value to IP system.

Answers

Answer:

the value of conductivity in IP is [tex]8.406\dfrac{Btu}{ft.hr.F}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that

Thermal conductivity K=14.54 W/m.K

This above given conductivity is in SI unit.

     SI unit                                           IP unit              Conversion factor

    m                                                      ft                      0.3048

   W                                                       Btu/hr               0.293          

 

The unit of conductivity in IP is Btu./ft.hr.F.

Now convert into IP divided by 1.73 factor.

[tex]0.57\dfrac{Btu}{ft.hr.F}=1 \dfrac{W}{m.K}[/tex]

So

[tex]0.57\times 14.54\dfrac{Btu}{ft.hr.F}=14.54 \dfrac{W}{m.K}[/tex]

[tex]8.406\dfrac{Btu}{ft.hr.F}=14.54 \dfrac{W}{m.K}[/tex]

So the value of conductivity in IP is [tex]8.406\dfrac{Btu}{ft.hr.F}[/tex]

 

A room with dimensions of 3 x 10 x 20 m is estimated to have outdoor air brought in at an infiltration rate of 1/4 volume changes per hour. Determine the infiltration rate in m^3/s.

Answers

Answer:

The infiltration rate is of 0.042 m^3/s.

Explanation:

The total volume of the room is:

V = 3 * 10 * 20 = 600 m^3

If the air infiltration rate is of 1/4 volume per hour:

v = V/4 * 1 hour /3600 seconds

Replacing:

v = 600/4 * 1/3600 = 0.042 m^3/s

The infiltration rate would then be of 0.042 m^3/s.

calculate the density of air(as a perfect gas) when the pressure
is1.01325*105 N/m2 and the temperature
is288.15 K.

Answers

Answer:

1.2253 kg/m3

Explanation:

from ideal gas equation we  know that

[tex]PV = n\timesRT[/tex]

[tex]\frac{n}{V} = \frac{P}{(RT)}[/tex]

where,

pressure P = 1.01325 x 10^5 N/m2 = 101325 Pascals  

gas constant R = 8.314 J/mol/K  

T = 288.15 K

[tex]\frac{n}{V} = \frac{101325}{(8.314*288.15K)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{n}{V} = 42.2948967 Pa*mol/J[/tex]

we know that 1 Pa = 1 J/m3

so[tex]\frac{n}{V} = 42.2948967\  mol/m3[/tex]

as we know, Air consist of  21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen

therefore

Molar mass of air:

[tex]0.21 *(32 g/mol) + 0.79 *(28 g/mol) = 28.97 g/mol[/tex]

So  [tex](42.2948967\  mol/m3) \times 28.97\  g/mol[/tex]

= 1 225.27 g/m^3

= 1.22528316 kg/m^3 ~ 1.2253 kg/m3

Define drag and lift forces

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

Drag and lift are the forces that act on an object which moves in a fluid and are explained as under:

1)Drag: Drag is the force that opposes the motion of an object moving in a fluid and hence is analogous to fluid frictional force in a fluid. Power is needed to be spent by an object to overcome the frictional drag. The drag force is different from the classical friction as we know that the frictional force on a dry surface is independent of the velocity of the object but for drag the force is proportional to the square of the velocity of the object.

Mathematically

[tex]F_{Drag}=\frac{1}{2}C_{d}A\rho _{fluid}V^2[/tex]

where

[tex]C_d[/tex] is a constant known as coefficient of drag and A is the projected area of the object.

2) Lift: Lift force is a component of the force that a fluid exerts on an object moving in it that counters the weight of the object and hence has the tendency to lift the object and hence is known as lift force. The lift force is perpendicular to the incoming fluid. Lift force is useful as it allows the aeroplanes  to fly as the lift force that is generated by the air on the wings of the plane is used to overcome the force of gravity on the plane.

Mathematically

[tex]F_{Lift}=\frac{1}{2}C_{L}A\rho _{fluid}V^2[/tex]

where

[tex]C_L[/tex] is a constant known as coefficient of lift and A is the projected area of the object moving with velocity 'v'.
