An 1,840 W toaster, a 1,420 W electric frying pan, and a 70 W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15 A, 120 V circuit. (T

he three devices are in parallel when plugged into the same socket).
A) What current is drawn by each device?
B) Will this combination blow the 15-A fuse?

Answer:

A)

Current drawn by toaster = 15.33 A

Current drawn by electric frying pan = 11.83 A

Current drawn by lamp = 0.58 A

B)

The fuse will definitely blow up since the current drawn by three devices (27.74 A) is way higher than 15 A fuse rating.

Explanation:

There are three devices plugged into the same outlet.

Toaster = 1840 W

Electric frying pan = 1420 W

Lamp = 70 W

Since the three devices are connected in parallel therefore, the voltage across them will be same but the current drawn by each will be different.

A) What current is drawn by each device?

The current flowing through the device is given by

I = P/V

Where P is the power and V is the voltage.

Current drawn by toaster:

I = 1840/120

I = 15.33 A

Current drawn by electric frying pan:

I = 1420/120

I = 11.83 A

Current drawn by lamp:

I = 70/120

I = 0.58 A

B) Will this combination blow the 15-A fuse?

The total current drawn by all three devices is

Total current = 15.33 + 11.83 + 0.58

Total current = 27.74 A

Therefore, the fuse will definitely blow up since the current drawn by three devices (27.74 A) is way higher than 15 A fuse rating.

Firefighters are holding a nozzle at the end of a hose while trying to extinguish a fire. The nozzle exit diameter is 8 cm, and

Question

Determine the average water exit velocity

Answer:

53.05 m/s

Explanation:

Given information

Volume flow rate, Q=16 m^{3}/min

Diameter d= 8cm= 0.08 m

Assumptions

  • The flow is jet flow hence momentum-flux correction factor is unity
  • Gravitational force is not considered
  • The flow is steady, frictionless and incompressible
  • Water is discharged to the atmosphere hence pressure is ignored

We know that Q=AV and making v the subject then

V=\frac {Q}{A} where V is the exit velocity and A is area

Area, A=\frac {\pi d^{2}{4} where d is the diameter

By substitution

V=\frac {16\times 4}{\pi 0.08^{2}}=3183.098862 m/min

To convert v to m/s from m/s, we simply divide it by 60 hence

V=\frac {3183.098862  m/min}{60 s}=53.0516477 m/s\approx 53.05 m/s

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 \
