Answer:

The fluid level difference in the manometer arm = 22.56 ft.

Explanation:

Assumption: The fluid in the manometer is incompressible, that is, its density is constant.

The fluid level difference between the two arms of the manometer gives the gage pressure of the air in the tank.

And P(gage) = ρgh

ρ = density of the manometer fluid = 60 lbm/ft³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

ρg = 60 × 32.2 = 1932 lbm/ft²s²

ρg = 1932 lbm/ft²s² × 1lbf.s²/32.2lbm.ft = 60 lbf/ft³

h = fluid level difference between the two arms of the manometer = ?

P(gage) = 9.4 psig = 9.4 × 144 = 1353.6 lbf/ft²

1353.6 = ρg × h = 60 lbf/ft³ × h

h = 1353.6/60 = 22.56 ft

A diagrammatic representation of this setup is presented in the attached image.

Hope this helps!

Air expands through a turbine operating at steady state. At the inlet p1 = 150 lbf/in^2, T1 = 1400R and at the exit p2 = 14.8 lb
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The power developed in HP is 2702.7hp

Explanation:

Given details.

P1 = 150 lbf/in^2,

T1 = 1400°R

P2 = 14.8 lbf/in^2,

T2 = 700°R

Mass flow rate m1 = m2 = m = 11 lb/s Q = -65000 Btu/h

Using air table to obtain the values for h1 and h2 at T1 and T2

h1 at T1 = 1400°R = 342.9 Btu/h

h2 at T2 = 700°R = 167.6 Btu/h

Using;

Q - W + m(h1) - m(h2) = 0

W = Q - m (h2 -h1)

W = (-65000 Btu/h ) - 11 lb/s (167.6 - 342.9) Btu/h

W = (-65000 Btu/h ) - (-1928.3) Btu/s

W = (-65000 Btu/h ) * {1hr/(60*60)s} - (-1928.3) Btu/s

W = -18.06Btu/s + 1928.3 Btu/s

W = 1910.24Btu/s

Note; Btu/s = 1.4148532hp

W = 2702.7hp

For some transformation having kinetics that obey the Avrami equation, the parameter n is known to have a value of 2. If, after
kotegsom [21]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

For some transformation having kinetics that obey the Avrami equation, the parameter n is known to have a value of 2. If, after 100 s, the reaction is 40% complete, how long (total time in seconds) will it take the transformation to go to 95% completion

y = 1 - exp( -ktⁿ )

Answer: the time required for 95% transformation is 242.17 s

Explanation:

First, we calculate the value of k which is the dependent variable in Avrami equation

y = 1 - exp( -ktⁿ )

exp( -ktⁿ ) = 1 - y

-ktⁿ = In( 1 - y )

k = - In( 1 - y ) / tⁿ

now given that; n = 2, y = 40% = 0.40, and t = 100 s

we substitute

k = - In( 1 - 0.40 ) / 100²

k = - In(0.60) / 10000

k = 0.5108 / 10000

k = 0.00005108 ≈ 5.108 × 10⁻⁵

Now calculate the time required for 95% transformation

tⁿ = - In( 1 - y ) / k

t = [- In( 1 - y ) / k ]^1/n

n = 2, y = 95% = 0.95 and k = 5.108 × 10⁻⁵

we substitute our values

t = [- In( 1 - 0.95 ) / 5.108 × 10⁻⁵ ]^1/2

t = [2.9957 / 5.108 × 10⁻⁵]^1/2

t = [ 58647.22 ]^1/2

t = 242.17 s

Therefore the time required for 95% transformation is 242.17 s

Determine if the following errors are systematic or random. Justify your response. (a) Effect of temperature on the circuitry of
k0ka [10]

Answer:

a) temperature: random error

b) parallax: systematic error

c) using incorrect value: systematic error

Explanation:

Systematic errors are associated with faulty calibration or reading of the equipments used and they could be avoided refining your method.
