fast is the current?

The current flow is 2.4mph.

To find the answer, we have to know about the streamline flow.

<h3>How to find the rate of flow of current?</h3>

The boat's speed will reduce by V miles per hour if it is moving upstream because the current, which moves at a speed of V miles per hour, will be pressing against it. The boat moves downstream at a pace of Vp-V miles per hour as a result. However, if the boat is moving downstream, the current will be pushing it faster, increasing the boat's speed by V miles per hour. The boat's downstream speed as a result is Vp+V miles per hour.

where; Vp is the paddling speed in calm water.

It is given that, upstream distance is 10 miles, and downstream is 5 miles in 7 hours.
Thus, the time taken for downstream is,

$t_d=\frac{S_d}{v_d}=\frac{5}{4+V}$ , where; S is distance and v is speed.

Similarly, the time taken for upstream is,

$t_u=\frac{S_u}{v_u}=\frac{10}{4-V}$

The total time taken is,

$t=7hours=t_d+t_u\\$

From this, the velocity of current is,

$\frac{5}{4+V}+\frac{10}{4-V} =7\\\\V=2.4mph$

Thus, we can conclude that, the current flow is 2.4mph.

A counterflow double-pipe heat exchanger is used to heat water from 20°C to 80°C at a rate of 1.2 kg/s. The heating is to be com

bixtya [17]

Answer:L=109.16 m

Explanation:

Given

initial temperature $=20^{\circ}C$

Final Temperature $=80^{\circ}C$

mass flow rate of cold fluid $\dot{m_c}=1.2 kg/s$

Initial Geothermal water temperature $T_h_i=160^{\circ}C$

Let final Temperature be T

mass flow rate of geothermal water $\dot{m_h}=2 kg/s$

diameter of inner wall $d_i=1.5 cm$

$U_{overall}=640 W/m^2K$

specific heat of water $c=4.18 kJ/kg-K$

balancing energy

Heat lost by hot fluid=heat gained by cold Fluid

$\dot{m_c}c(T_h_i-T_h_e)= \dot{m_h}c(80-20)$

$2\times (160-T)=1.2\times (80-20)$

$160-T=36$

$T=124^{\circ}C$

As heat exchanger is counter flow therefore

$\Delta T_1=160-80=80^{\circ}C$

$\Delta T_2=124-20=104^{\circ}C$

$LMTD=\frac{\Delta T_1-\Delta T_2}{\ln (\frac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2})}$

$LMTD=\frac{80-104}{\ln \frac{80}{104}}$

$LMTD=91.49^{\circ}C$

heat lost or gain by Fluid is equal to heat transfer in the heat exchanger

$\dot{m_c}c(80-20)=U\cdot A\cdot$ (LMTD)

$A=\frac{1.2\times 4.184\times 1000\times 60}{640\times 91.49}=5.144 m^2$

$A=\pi DL=5.144$

$L=\frac{5.144}{\pi \times 0.015}$

$L=109.16 m$

An object is 12 m long, 0.65 m wide, and 13 cm high. Calculate the volume of this object.

ziro4ka [17]

The volume corresponds to the measure of the space occupied by a body. From the given dimensions we can intuit that we are looking to find the Volume of an Cuboid, that is, an orthogonal rectangular prism, whose faces form straight dihedral angles.

Mathematically the volume of this body is given as

$V = lWh$

Where,

L = Length

W = Width

H = High

$V = (12)(0.65)(13*10^{-2})$

$V = 1.014m^3$

Note: The value given for the height was in centimeters, so it was transformed to meters.
