Water at 20°C flows by gravity through a smooth pipe from one reservoir to a lower one. The elevation difference is 60 m. The pi

pe is 360 m long, with a diameter of 12 cm. For the given system a pump is used at night to drive water back to the upper reservoir. If the pump delivers 15,000 W to the water, estimate the flow rate. For water at 20°C, take rho = 998 kg/m3 and μ = 0.001 kg/m-s. Round the answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

Flow Rate = 80 m^3 /hours  (Rounded to the nearest whole number)

Explanation:

Given

  • Hf = head loss
  • f = friction factor
  • L = Length of the pipe = 360 m
  • V = Flow velocity, m/s
  • D = Pipe diameter = 0.12 m
  • g = Gravitational acceleration, m/s^2
  • Re = Reynolds's Number
  • rho = Density =998 kg/m^3
  • μ = Viscosity = 0.001 kg/m-s
  • Z = Elevation Difference = 60 m

Calculations

Moody friction loss in the pipe = Hf = (f*L*V^2)/(2*D*g)

The energy equation for this system will be,

Hp = Z + Hf

The other three equations to solve the above equations are:

Re = (rho*V*D)/ μ

Flow Rate, Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Power = 15000 W = rho*g*Q*Hp

1/f^0.5 = 2*log ((Re*f^0.5)/2.51)

We can iterate the 5 equations to find f and solve them to find the values of:

Re = 235000

f = 0.015

V = 1.97 m/s

And use them to find the flow rate,

Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Q = (1.97)*(pi/4)*(0.12)^2 = 0.022 m^3/s = 80 m^3 /hours

Which of the following materials offer the least electrical resistance? Pure water, wood, salt water, glass
Vanyuwa [196]

Salt water offers the least electrical resistance.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Least electrical resistance indicates that any material which readily allows the electric current through itself, and shows more conductivity.

Here pure water doesn't contain any ions, so it is a bad conductor.

Wood and glass are also bad conductors of electricity.

Salt water contains ions, which conducts electricity which means it shows least electrical resistance.

Suppose you walk 21.5 m straight east and then 12.5 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point (in m)
stira [4]

Answer:

24.9 m

Explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. There are different types of triangles such as the equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle, scalene triangle, right angled triangle.

You walk 21.5 m straight east and then 12.5 m straight north. This forms a right angled triangle with a horizontal distance of 21.5 m, a vertical distance of 12.5 m and the hypotenuse is the distance between the ending and starting point. Let x represent the distance between the ending and starting point. Therefore using Pythagoras theorem:

x² = 21.5² + 12.5²

x² = 462.25 + 156.25

x² = 618.5

Taking square root of both sides:

√x² = √618.5

x = √618.5

x = 24.9 m = distance between the ending and starting point.

A child is swinging back and forth with a constant period and amplitude. Somewhere in front of the child, a stationary horn is e
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

  We shall apply concept of Doppler's effect of apparent frequency to this problem . Here observer is moving sometimes towards and sometimes away from the source . When observer moves towards the source , apparent frequency is more than real frequency and when the observer moves away from the source , apparent frequency is less than real frequency . The apparent frequency depends upon velocity of observer . The formula for apparent frequency when observer is going away is as follows .

f = f₀ ( V - v₀ ) / V , f is apparent , f₀ is real frequency , V is velocity of sound and v is velocity of observer .

f will be lowest when v₀ is highest .

velocity of observer is highest when he is at the equilibrium position or at middle point .

So apparent frequency is lowest when observer is at the middle point and going away from the source  while swinging to and from before the source of sound .
