A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 57.3 c

m ( 0.573 m) and the flow speed of the petroleum is 13.5 m/s. At the refinery, the petroleum flows at 5.83 m/s. What is the volume flow rate of the petroleum along the pipe and what is the pipe's diameter at the refinery?

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of pipe,d_1=0.573 m

v_1=13.5 m/s

v_2=5.83 m/s

Volume flow rate of the petroleum along the pipe=Q_{refinery}=A_1v_1=v_(\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4})

Q_{refinery}=13.5\times (\pi\times \frac{0.573)^2}{4})=3.48 m^3/s

By equation of continuity

A_1v_1=A_2v_2

\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4}v_1=\frac{\pi d^2_2}{4}v_2

d^2_2=\frac{v_1}{v_2}d^2_1

d_2=\sqrt{\frac{v_1}{v_2}}d_1

d_2=0.573\sqrt{\frac{13.5}{5.83}}

d_2=0.87 m

d_2=0.87\time 100=87 cm

1 m=100 cm

A crude approximation for the x component of velocity in an incompressible laminar boundary layer is a linear variation from u =
slega [8]

Answer:

2.5 * 10^-3

Explanation:

<u>solution:</u>

The simplest solution is obtained if we assume that this is a two-dimensional steady flow, since in that case there are no dependencies upon the z coordinate or time t. Also, we will assume that there are no additional arbitrary purely x dependent functions f (x) in the velocity component v. The continuity equation for a two-dimensional in compressible flow states:

<em>δu/δx+δv/δy=0</em>

so that:  

<em>δv/δy= -δu/δx</em>

Now, since u = Uy/δ, where δ = cx^1/2, we have that:

<em>u=U*y/cx^1/2</em>

and we obtain:  

<em>δv/δy=U*y/2cx^3/2</em>

The last equation can be integrated to obtain (while also using the condition of simplest solution - no z or t dependence, and no additional arbitrary functions of x):  

v=∫δv/δy(dy)=U*y/4cx^1/2

 =y/x*(U*y/4cx^1/2)

 =u*y/4x

which is exactly what we needed to demonstrate.  

Also, using u = U*y/δ in the last equation we can obtain:  

v/U=u*y/4*U*x

     =y^2/4*δ*x

which obviously attains its maximum value for the which is y = δ (boundary-layer edge). So, finally:

(v/U)_max=δ^2/4δx

                =δ/4x

                =2.5 * 10^-3

A magnetic field is uniform over a flat, horizontal circular region with a radius of 1.50 mm, and the field varies with time. In
Daniel [21]

Answer:81.57\mu V

Explanation:

Given

radius of circular region r=1.50 mm

A=\pi r^2=7.069\times 10^{-6}\ m^2

Magnetic Field B=1.50\ T

time t=130 ms

Flux is given by

\phi =B\cdot A

change in Flux d\phi =(B_f-B_i)A

Emf induced is e=\frac{\mathrm{d} \phi}{\mathrm{d} t}

e=\frac{(1.5)\cdot 7.069\times 10^{-6}}{130\times 10^{-3}}

e=81.57 \mu V

If 478 watts of power are used in 14 seconds,how much work was done
zepelin [54]

Answer:

6692J

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate at which work is being done.

So,

    Power  = \frac{workdone}{time }  

  Work done  = Power x time

Given parameters:

Power  = 478watts

Time  = 14s

So;

 Work done  = 478 x 14  = 6692J

An egg is thrown upward with a velocity of 4.5 m/s. How long will it take to reach it's maximum height?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

0.45 seconds

Explanation:

Letting the value of g = 10 m/s/s

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (since the egg will come to rest at the maximum height)

initial velocity(u) = 4.5 m/s

acceleration = -10 m/s/s (since the gravity is acting against the egg)

time = t seconds

From the first equation of motion:

<em>v = u + at</em>

<em>0 = 4.5 + (-10)t</em>

<em>t = -4.5 / -10</em>

t = 0.45 seconds
