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!
Solution :
The nuclear reaction for boron is given as :
And the reaction for Cadmium is :
We know that it is easier that to shield or stop an alpha particle (i.e. He nucli) as they can be stopped or obstructed by only a few centimetres of the material. However, the gamma rays ( γ ) can penetrate through the material to a greater distance. Therefore, we can choose the first one.
Answer:
The rate of irreversible loss will be "55.22 MW".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Elevation,
h = 120 m
Flow of water,
Q = 100 m³/s
Efficiency,
= 80%
i.e,
= 0.8
Efficiency turbine,
= 50 MW
Now,
Without any loss,
The power generated by turbine will be:
⇒
On substituting the values, we get
⇒
⇒
Power generated in actual will be:
=
=
Hence,
Throughout the piping system,
The rate of irreversible loss is:
=
=
=
