Answer:

The gauge pressure is 1511.11 psi.

Explanation:

Given that,

Flow rate = 94 ft³/min

Diameter d₁=3.3 inch

Diameter d₂ = 5.2 inch

Pressure P₁= 15 psi

We need to calculate the pressure on other side

Using Bernoulli equation

P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2

We know that,

V=Av

v=\dfrac{V}{A}

Where, V = volume

v = velocity

A = area

Put the value of v into the formula

P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho (\dfrac{V}{A_{1}})^2=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho (\dfrac{V}{A_{2}})^2

Put the value into the formula

15+\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.36\times(\dfrac{2707.2\times4}{\pi\times(3.3)^2})^2=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.36\times(\dfrac{2707.2\times4}{\pi\times(5.2)^2})^2

P_{2}=15+\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.036\times(\dfrac{2707.2\times4}{\pi\times(3.3)^2})^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.036\times(\dfrac{2707.2\times4}{\pi\times(5.2)^2})^2

P_{2}=1525.8\ psi

We need to calculate the gauge pressure

Using formula of gauge pressure

P_{g}=P_{ab}-P_{atm}

Put the value into the formula

P_{g}=1525.8-14.69

P_{g}=1511.11\ psi

Hence, The gauge pressure is 1511.11 psi.

Guys please help me out I’ll give extra points
zvonat [6]

Answer: h = 3.34 m

Explanation:

If the hat is thrown straight up, then at its highest point it has no motion and no kinetic energy. All energy is potential energy

PE = mgh

h = PE/mg = 4.92 / (0.150(9.81)) = 3.34352... ≈3.34 m

A bag containing 0ºC ice is much more effective in absorbing energy than one containing the same amount of 0ºC water.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

Explanation:

Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart such that, in the liquid, the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature. Similarly, energy is needed to vaporize a liquid, because molecules in a liquid interact with each other via attractive forces. There is no temperature change until a phase change is complete. The temperature of a cup of soda initially at 0ºC stays at 0ºC until all the ice has melted. Conversely, energy is released during freezing and condensation, usually in the form of thermal energy. Work is done by cohesive forces when molecules are brought together. The corresponding energy must be given off (dissipated) to allow them to stay together Figure 2.

The energy involved in a phase change depends on two major factors: the number and strength of bonds or force pairs. The number of bonds is proportional to the number of molecules and thus to the mass of the sample. The strength of forces depends on the type of molecules. The heat Q required to change the phase of a sample of mass m is given by

Q = mLf (melting/freezing,

Q = mLv (vaporization/condensation),

where the latent heat of fusion, Lf, and latent heat of vaporization, Lv, are material constants that are determined experimentally.

. A person weighing 750 N gets on an elevator.
Kobotan [32]

 

F = 750 N  (Force)

d = 10 m  (displacement )

t = 25 s   (time)

L = ?   (Mechanical work )  =  (Energy)

P = ?   (Power)

Solve:

L = F × d = 750 × 10 = 7500 Joules

P = L / t = 7500 / 25 = 300 Watts
