2. A trapezoidal channel has a bottom width of 4 m and side slopes of 2:1 (H:V). If the flow rate is 50 m3/s at a depth of 3.6 m

, report whether the flow is subcritical or supercritical. Also determine the alternate depth (for the same specific energy). Also determine the critical depth.

Answer:

Explanation:

Sum of the side slope = 2 + 1 = 3

Length of first slope = 2/3 X 3.6 = 2 X 1.2 = 2.4m

Lenght of second slope = 1/3 X 3.6 = 1.2m

Area of the trapezoidal channel = (2.4 + 1.2)/2 X 3.6 = 1.8 X 3.6 = 6.48m²

Alternate dept = 50m³/6.48m²= 7.716m

Air enters a compressor steadily at the ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 22°C and leaves at 800 kPa. Heat is lost from the comp
telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) 358.8K

b) 181.1 kJ/kg.K

c) 0.0068 kJ/kg.K

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 100kPa

P2= 800kPa

T1 = 22°C = 22+273 = 295K

q_out = 120 kJ/kg

∆S_air = 0.40 kJ/kg.k

T2 =??

a) Using the formula for change in entropy of air, we have:

∆S_air = c_p In \frac{T_2}{T_1} - Rln \frac{P_2}{P_1}

Let's take gas constant, Cp= 1.005 kJ/kg.K and R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K

Solving, we have:

[/tex] -0.40= (1.005)ln\frac{T_2}{295} ln\frac{800}{100}[/tex]

-0.40= 1.005(ln T_2 - 5.68697)- 0.5968

Solving for T2 we have:

T_2 = 5.8828

Taking the exponential on the equation (both sides), we have:

[/tex] T_2 = e^5^.^8^8^2^8 = 358.8K[/tex]

b) Work input to compressor:

w_in = c_p(T_2 - T_1)+q_out

w_in = 1.005(358.8 - 295)+120

= 184.1 kJ/kg

c) Entropy genered during this process, we use the expression;

Egen = ∆Eair + ∆Es

Where; Egen = generated entropy

∆Eair = Entropy change of air in compressor

∆Es = Entropy change in surrounding.

We need to first find ∆Es, since it is unknown.

Therefore ∆Es = \frac{q_out}{T_1}

\frac{120kJ/kg.k}{295K}

∆Es = 0.4068kJ/kg.k

Hence, entropy generated, Egen will be calculated as:

= -0.40 kJ/kg.K + 0.40608kJ/kg.K

= 0.0068kJ/kg.k

Mohr's circle represents: A Orientation dependence of normal and shear stresses at a point in mechanical members B The stress di
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A : Orientation dependence of normal and shear stresses at a point in mechanical members

Explanation:

Since we know that in a general element of any loaded object the normal and shearing stresses vary in the whole body which can be mathematically represented as

\sigma _{x'x'}=\frac{\sigma _{xx}+\sigma _{yy}}{2}+\frac{\sigma _{xx}-\sigma _{yy}}{2}cos(2\theta )+\tau _{xy}sin(2\theta )

And \tau _{x'x'}=-\frac{\sigma _{xx}-\sigma _{yy}}{2}sin(2\theta )+\tau _{xy}cos(2\theta )

Mohr's circle is the graphical representation of the variation represented by the above 2 formulae in the general oriented element of a body that is under stresses.

The Mohr circle is graphically displayed in the attached figure.

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that consists of 4.5 wt% Pb and 95.5 wt% Sn?
jeka57 [31]

Answer: Option A is correct -- 2.6 at% Pb and 97.4 at% Sn.

Explanation:

Option A is the only correct option -- 2.6 at% Pb and 97.4 at% Sn. While option B, which is 7.6 at% Pb and 92.4 at% Sn. and option C, which is 97.4 at% Pb and 2.6 at% Sn. and option D, which is 92.4 at% Pb and 7.6 at% Sn. are wrong.

All of these are true about GMA (MIG) welding EXCEPT that:
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

the welding gun liner regulates the shielding gas.

Explanation:

The purpose of the welding gun liner is to properly position the welding wire from the wire feeder till it gets to the nozzle or contact tip of the gun. <em>Regulation of the shielding gas depends on factors such as the speed, current, and type of gas being used. </em>In gas metal arc welding, an electric arc is used to generate heat which melts both the electrode and the workpiece or base metal.

The electric arc produced is shielded from contamination by the shielding gas. The heat generated by the short electric arc is low.

A European car manufacturer reports that the fuel efficiency of the new MicroCar is 48.5 km/L highway and 42.0 km/L city. What a
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Fuel efficiency for highway = 114.08 miles/gallon

Fuel efficiency for city = 98.79 miles/gallon

Explanation:

1 gallon = 3.7854 litres

1 mile = 1.6093 km

Let's first convert the efficiency to km/gallon:

48.5 km/litre = (48.5 * 3.7854) km/gallon

48.5 km/litre =  183.5919 km/gallon (highway)

42.0 km/litre = (42.0 * 3.7854) km/gallon

42.0 km/litre = 158.9868 km/gallon (city)

Next, we convert these to miles/gallon:

183.5919 km/gallon = (183.5919 / 1.6093) miles/gallon

183.5919 km/gallon = 114.08 miles/gallon (highway)

158.9868 km/gallon = (158.9868 /1.6093) miles/gallon

158.9868 km/gallon = 98.79 miles/gallon (city)
