A cylindrical tank is required to contain a gage pressure 520 kPa . The tank is to be made of A516 grade 60 steel with a maximum

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

Explain with schematics the operating principle of solid state lasers.
alina1380 [7]

Explanation:

A solid state laser contains a cavity like structure fitted with spherical mirrors or plane mirrors at the end filled with a rigidly bonded crystal. It uses solid as the medium. It uses glass or crystalline materials.

    It is known that active medium used for this type of laser is a solid material. This lasers are pumped optically by means of a light source which is used as a source of energy for the laser. The solid materials gets excited by absorbing energy in the form of light from the light source. Here the pumping source is light energy.

What is the physical significance of the Reynolds number?. How is defined for external flow over a plate of length L.
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Re=\dfrac{\rho\ v\ l}{\mu }

Explanation:

Reynolds number:

  Reynolds number describe the type of flow.If Reynolds number is too high then flow is called turbulent flow and Reynolds is  low then flow is called laminar flow .

Reynolds number is a dimensionless number.Reynolds number given is the ratio of inertia force to the viscous force.

Re=\dfrac{F_i}{F_v}

For plate can be given as

Re=\dfrac{\rho\ v\ l}{\mu }

Where  ρ is the density of fluid , v is the average velocity of fluid and μ is the dynamic viscosity of fluid.

Flow on plate is a external flow .The values of Reynolds number for different flow given as

Reynolds\ number\is \ >\ 5 \times 10 ^5\ then\ flow\ will\ be\ turbulent.

Reynolds\ number\is \

Monica [59]

Answer:

The total tube surface area in m² required to achieve an air outlet temperature of 850 K is 192.3 m²

Explanation:

Here we have the heat Q given as follows;

Q = 15 × 1075 × (1100 - t_{A2}) = 10 × 1075 × (850 - 300) = 5912500 J

∴ 1100 - t_{A2} = 1100/3

t_{A2}  = 733.33 K

\Delta \bar{t}_{a} =\frac{t_{A_{1}}+t_{A_{2}}}{2} - \frac{t_{B_{1}}+t_{B_{2}}}{2}

Where

\Delta \bar{t}_{a} = Arithmetic mean temperature difference

t_{A_{1} = Inlet temperature of the gas = 1100 K

t_{A_{2} = Outlet temperature of the gas = 733.33 K

t_{B_{1} =  Inlet temperature of the air = 300 K

t_{B_{2} = Outlet temperature of the air = 850 K

Hence, plugging in the values, we have;

\Delta \bar{t}_{a} =\frac{1100+733.33}{2} - \frac{300+850}{2} = 341\tfrac{2}{3} \, K = 341.67 \, K

Hence, from;

\dot{Q} = UA\Delta \bar{t}_{a}, we have

5912500  = 90 × A × 341.67

A = \frac{5912500  }{90 \times 341.67} = 192.3 \, m^2

Hence, the total tube surface area in m² required to achieve an air outlet temperature of 850 K = 192.3 m².
