allowable normal stress of 150 MPa . If the inner diameter of the tank is 2.6 m , what is the minimum thickness, t, of the wall? Express your answer with appropriate units to three significant figures.

Answer:

t= 4.5 mm

Explanation:

Given that

P = 520 KPa ( gauge)

Maximum allowable normal stress ,σ= 150

d= 2.6 m

Wall thickness = t

The normal stress for pressure vessel given as

$\sigma=\dfrac{Pd}{2t}$ ( hoop stress)

We always take maximum stress for safe design.

$\sigma=\dfrac{Pd}{2t}$

Now by putting the values

$150\times 1000=\dfrac{520\times 2.6}{2t}$

t= 4.5 mm

So the minimum thickness, t, of the wall is 4.5 mm

The answer is below

Explanation:

1)

$\frac{v-u}{a} =t\\\\Making \ v\ the \ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\First \ cross-multiply:\\\\v-u=at\\\\add\ u\ to \ both\ sides:\\\\v-u+u=at+u\\\\v=u+at$

2)

$\frac{y-x^2}{x}=3z\\ \\Making\ y\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\First \ cross \ multiply:\\\\y-x^2=3xz\\\\y=3xz+x^2\\\\y=x(x+3z)$

3)

$x+xy=y\\\\Making\ x\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\x(1+y)=y\\\\Divide\ through\ by\ 1+y\\\\\frac{x(1+y)}{1+y} =\frac{y}{1+y} \\\\x=\frac{y}{1+y}$

4)

$x+y=xy\\\\Making\ x\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\Subtract\ x\ from \ both\ sides:\\\\x+y-x=xy-x\\\\y=xy-x\\\\y=x(y-1)\\\\Divide\ through\ by \ y-1\\\\\frac{y}{y-1} =\frac{x(y-1)}{y-1}\\ \\x=\frac{y}{y-1}$

5)

$x=y+xy\\\\Making\ x\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\Subtract\ xy\ from \ both\ sides:\\\\x-xy=y+xy-xy\\\\x-xy=y\\\\x(1-y)=y\\\\Divide\ through\ by \ 1-y\\\\\frac{x(1-y)}{1-y} =\frac{y}{1-y}\\ \\x=\frac{y}{1-y}$

6)

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2\\ \\Making\ u\ the\ subject \ of\ formula:\\\\Multiply \ through\ by \ 2\\\\2E=mv^2-mu^2\\\\mu^2=mv^2-2E\\\\Divide\ through\ by\ m:\\\\u^2=\frac{mv^2-2E}{m}\\ \\Take\ square\ root\ of \ both\ sides:\\\\u=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2-2E}{m}}$

7)

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\\ \\Making\ y\ the\ subject \ of\ formula:\\\\\frac{x^2}{a^2}-1=\frac{y^2}{b^2}\\\\Multiply\ through\ by\ b^2\\\\b^2(\frac{x^2}{a^2} -1)=y^2\\\\Take\ square\ root\ of\ both\ sides:\\\\y=\sqrt{b^2(\frac{x^2}{a^2} -1)}$

8)

$ay^2=x^3\\\\Make\ y\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\Divide\ through\ by\ a:\\\\y^2=\frac{x^3}{a}\\ \\Take\ square\ root\ of\ both\ sides:\\\\y=\sqrt{\frac{x^3}{a}} \\$

The time factor for a doubly drained clay layer

Margarita [4]

Answer with Explanation:

Assuming that the degree of consolidation is less than 60% the relation between time factor and the degree of consolidation is

$T_v=\frac{\pi }{4}(\frac{U}{100})^2$

Solving for 'U' we get

$\frac{\pi }{4}(\frac{U}{100})^2=0.2\\\\(\frac{U}{100})^2=\frac{4\times 0.2}{\pi }\\\\\therefore U=100\times \sqrt{\frac{4\times 0.2}{\pi }}=50.46%$

Since our assumption is correct thus we conclude that degree of consolidation is 50.46%

The consolidation at different level's is obtained from the attached graph corresponding to Tv = 0.2

i) $\frac{z}{H}=0.25=U=0.71$ = 71% consolidation

ii) $\frac{z}{H}=0.5=U=0.45$ = 45% consolidation

iii) $\frac{z}{H}=0.75U=0.3$ = 30% consolidation

Part b)

The degree of consolidation is given by

$\frac{\Delta H}{H_f}=U\\\\\frac{\Delta H}{1.0}=0.5046\\\\\therefore \Delta H=50.46cm$

Thus a settlement of 50.46 centimeters has occurred

For time factor 0.7, U is given by

$T_v=1.781-0.933log(100-U)\\\\0.7=1.781-0.933log(100-U)\\\\log(100-U)=\frac{1.780-.7}{0.933}=1.1586\\\\\therefore U=100-10^{1.1586}=85.59$

thus consolidation of 85.59 % has occured if time factor is 0.7

The degree of consolidation is given by

$\frac{\Delta H}{H_f}=U\\\\\frac{\Delta H}{1.0}=0.8559\\\\\therefore \Delta H=85.59cm$

Steep safety ramps are built beside mountain highways to enable vehicles with defective brakes to stop safely. A truck enters a

Virty [35]

Answer:

a) The additional time required for the truck to stop is <u>8.5 seconds</u>

b) The additional distance traveled by the truck is <u>230.05 ft</u>

Explanation:

Since the acceleration is constant, the average speed is:

(final speed - initial speed) / 2 = 0.75 v0

Since travelling at this speed for 8.5 seconds causes the vehicle to travel 690 ft, we can solve for v0:

0.75v0 * 8.5 = 690

v0 = 108.24 ft/s

The speed after 8.5 seconds is: 108.24 / 2 = 54.12 ft/s

We can now use the following equation to solve for acceleration:

$v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s$

$54.12^2 - 108.24^2 = 2*a*690$

a = -6.367 m/s^2

Additional time taken to decelerate: 54.12/6.367 = 8.5 seconds

Total distance traveled:

$v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s$

0 - 108.24^2 = 2 * (-6.367) * s

solving for s we get total distance traveled = 920.05 ft

Additional Distance Traveled: 920.05 - 690 = 230.05 ft
