A horizontal 2-m-diameter conduit is half filled with a liquid (SG=1.6 ) and is capped at both ends with plane vertical surfaces

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Resultant force = 639 kN and it acts at 0.99m from the bottom of the conduit

Explanation:

The pressure is given as 200 KPa and the specific gravity of the liquid is 1.6.

The resultant force acting on the vertical plate, Ft, is equivalent to the sum of the resultant force as a result of pressurized air and resultant force due to oil, which will be taken as F1 and F2 respectively.

Therefore,

Ft = F1 + F2

According to Pascal's law which states that a change in pressure at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere, the air pressure will act on the whole cap surface.

To get F1,

F1 = p x A

= p x (πr²)

Substituting values,

F1 = 200 x π x 1²

F1 = 628.32 kN

This resultant force acts at the center of the plate.

To get F2,

F2 = Π x hc x A

F2 = Π x (4r/3π) x (πr²/2)

Π - weight density of oil,

A - area on which oil pressure is acting,

hc - the distance between the axis of the conduit and the centroid of the semicircular area

Π = Specific gravity x 9.81 x 1000

Therefore

F2 = 1.6 x 9.81 x 1000 x (4(1)/3π) x (π(1)²/2)

F2 = 10.464 kN

Ft = F1 + F2

Ft = 628.32 + 10.464

Ft = 638.784 kN

The resultant force on the surface is 639 kN

Taking moments of the forces F1 and F2 about the centre,

Mo = Ft x y

Ft x y = (F1 x r) + F2(1 - 4r/3π)

Making y the subject,

y = (628.32 + 10.464(1 - 4/3π)/ 638.784

y = 0.993m

Write down one metal or alloy that is best suited for each of the following applications:

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Cast iron or Aluminium alloy are typically used. Aluminium is much lighter in weight and it can transfer heat better to the coolant. While Cast Iron is typically stronger and is thus still used by the manufacturers.

b. Copper can be used as a condensing heat exchanger for hot steam due to its optimal thermal properties and its ability to resist corrosion.

c. high-speed steel are perfect for producing drill bits because of its hardness and resistance to heat to an extent. Drill bits tend to produce heat as a result of the friction between it and the material to be drilled.

d. lead can be used as a container for strong acids because of its anti-corrosive properties

e.zinc and copper can be used as fuel in pyrotechnics mainly due to the fact that burn with refreshing colours. Aluminium can also be used.

f. Platinum is the metal that best suits this purpose because of its high melting point and resistivity to oxidation.
