Answer:

a) In turbulent flow, the tubes with rough surfaces have much higher friction factors than the tubes with smooth surfaces.

Explanation:

Turbulent flow is a type of fluid flow in which fluid will undergo irregular fluctuations. The tubes with rough surfaces have higher friction factors than the tubes with smooth surfaces. In laminar flow the effect of effect of surface roughness is negligible on friction factors.

Answer:

Go to explaination for the details of the answer.

Explanation:

In order to determine the lifetime (75 years) chronic daily exposure for each individual, we have to first state the terms of our equation:

CDI = Chronic Daily Intake

C= Chemical concentration

CR= Contact Rate

EFD= Exposure Frequency and Distribution

BW= Body Weight

AT = Average Time.

Having names our variables lets create the equations that will be used to derive our answers.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Wind energy is converted to Mechanical energy which is then converted in to electrical energy

Explanation:

In a wind mill the following energy conversions take place

a) Wind energy is converted into Mechanical energy (rotation of rotor blades)

b) Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy (by using electric motor)

This electrical energy is then used for transmission through electric lines.

The theoretical maximum specific gravity of a mix at 5.0% binder content is 2.495. Using a binder specific gravity of 1.0, find

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content is 2.44.

Explanation:

Given the specific gravity at 5.0 % binder content 2.495

Therefore

95 % mix + 5 % binder gives S.G. = 2.495

Where the binder is S.G. = 1, Therefore

Per 100 mass unit we have (Mx + 5)/(Vx + 5) = 2.495

(95 +5)/(Vx +5) = 2.495

2.495 × (Vx + 5) = 100

Vx =35.08 to 95

Or density of mix = Mx/Vx = 95/35.08 = 2.7081

Therefore when we have 6.5 % binder content, we get

Per 100 mass unit

93.5 Mass unit of Mx has a volume of

Mass/Density = 93.5/2.7081 = 34.526 volume units

Therefore we have

At 6.5 % binder content.

(100 mass unit)/(34.526 + 6.5) = 2.44

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content = 2.44.

A welding rod with κ = 30 (Btu/hr)/(ft ⋅ °F) is 20 cm long and has a diameter of 4 mm. The two ends of the rod are held at 500 °

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

In Btu:

Q=0.001390 Btu.

In Joule:

Q=1.467 J

Part B:

Temperature at midpoint=274.866 C

Explanation:

Thermal Conductivity=k=30 (Btu/hr)/(ft ⋅ °F)= $\frac{30}{3600} (Btu/s)/(ft.F)=8.33*10^{-3} (Btu/s)/(ft.F)$

Thermal Conductivity is SI units:

$k=30(Btu/hr)/(ft.F) * \frac{1055.06}{3600*0.3048*0.556} \\k=51.88 W/m.K$

Length=20 cm=0.2 m= (20*0.0328) ft=0.656 ft

Radius=4/2=2 mm =0.002 m=(0.002*3.28)ft=0.00656 ft

T_1=500 C=932 F

T_2=50 C= 122 F

Part A:

In Joules (J)

$A=\pi *r^2\\A=\pi *(0.002)^2\\A=0.00001256 m^2$

Heat Q is:

$Q=\frac{k*A*(T_1-T_2)}{L} \\Q=\frac{51.88*0.000012566*(500-50}{0.2}\\ Q=1.467 J$

In Btu:

$A=\pi *r^2\\A=\pi *(0.00656)^2\\A=0.00013519 m^2$

Heat Q is:

$Q=\frac{k*A*(T_1-T_2)}{L} \\Q=\frac{8.33*10^{-3}*0.00013519*(932-122}{0.656}\\ Q=0.001390 Btu$

PArt B:

At midpoint Length=L/2=0.1 m

$Q=\frac{k*A*(T_1-T_2)}{L}$

On rearranging:

$T_2=T_1-\frac{Q*L}{KA}$

$T_2=500-\frac{1.467*0.1}{51.88*0.00001256} \\T_2=274.866\ C$
