Answer:

stress = 50MPa

Explanation:

given data:

Length of strain guage is 5mm

displacement $\delta = 1.25 \mu m =\frac{1.25}{1000} = 0.00125 mm$

stress due to displacement in structural steel can be determined by using following relation

$E =\frac{stress}{strain}$

$stress = E \times strain$

where E is young's modulus of elasticity

E for steel is 200 GPa

$stress = 200\times 10^3 *\frac{1.25*10^{-3}}{5}$

stress = 50MPa

A venturi meter is to be installed in a 63 mm bore section of a piping system to measure the flow rate of water in it. From spac

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Throat diameter $d_2$ =28.60 mm

Explanation:

Bore diameter $d_1=63mm$ ⇒ $A_1=3.09\times 10^{-3} m^2$

Manometric deflection x=235 mm

Flow rate Q=240 Lt/min⇒ Q=.004 $\frac{m^3}{s}$

Coefficient of discharge $C_d$ =0.8

We know that discharge through venturi meter

$Q=C_d\dfrac{A_1A_2\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}$

$h=x(\dfrac{S_m}{S_w}-1)$

$S_m$ =13.6 for Hg and $S_w$ =1 for water.

$h=0.235(\dfrac{13.6}{1}-1)$

h=2.961 m

Now by putting the all value in

$Q=C_d\dfrac{A_1A_2\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}$

$0.004=0.8\times \dfrac{3.09\times 10^{-3} A_2\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 2.961}}{\sqrt{(3.09\times 10^{-3})^2-A_2^2}}$

$A_2=6.42\times 10^{-4} m^2$

⇒ $d_2$ =28.60 mm

So throat diameter $d_2$ =28.60 mm

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Writing an excellent problem statement will not help guide you through the rest of the process and steer you towards the BEST solution.

False

Explanation:

An excellent problem statement sets the overall tone for the rest of the engineering process, whether it be at the analysis, design, or implementation stages. This is why a problem statement must be focused, clear, and specific. An excellent problem statement contains the problem definition, method for solving the problem (the claim proposed), purpose, statement of objectives, and scope. For an excellent problem statement to be effective, it must also show the gap that is to be closed to achieve the intended objective.

1.The moist unit weights and degrees of saturation of a soil are given: moist unit weight (1) = 16.62 kN/m^3, degree of saturati

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Gs = 2.647

e = 0.7986

Explanation:

We know that moist unit weight of soil is given as

$\gamma_m \ or\ bulk\ density = \frac{(Gs+Se)\times \gamma_w}{(1+e)}$

where, $\gamma_m$ = moist unit weight of the soil

Gs = specific gravity of the soil

S = degree of saturation

e = void ratio

$\gamma_w$ = unit weight of water = 9.81 kN/m3

From data given we know that:

At 50% saturation, $\gamma_m = 16.62 kN/m3$

puttng all value to get Gs value;

$16.62= \frac{(Gs+0.5*e)\timees 9.81}{(1+e)}$

Gs - 1.194*e = 1.694 .........(1)

for saturaion 75%, unit weight = 17.71 KN/m3

$17.71 = \frac{(Gs+0.75*e)\times 9.81}{(1+e)}$

Gs - 1.055*e = 1.805 .........(2)

solving both equations (1) and (2), we obtained;

Gs = 2.647

e = 0.7986

A 7-hp (shaft) pump is used to raise water to an elevation of 15 m. If the mechanical efficiency of the pump is 82 percent, dete

Natali [406]

The maximum volume flow rate of water is determined as 0.029 m³/s.

<h3>Power of the pump</h3>

The power of the pump is watt is calculated as follows;

1 hp = 745.69 W

7 hp = ?

= 7 x 745.69 W

= 5,219.83 W

<h3>Mass flow rate of water</h3>

η = mgh/P

mgh = ηP

m = ηP/gh

m = (0.82 x 5,219.83)/(9.8 x 15)

m = 29.12 kg/s

<h3>Maximum volume rate</h3>

V = m/ρ

where;

ρ is density of water = 1000 kg/m³

V = (29.12)/(1000)

V = 0.029 m³/s

Two sites are being considered for wind power generation. On the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 m/s for 3000 hours per

kirill [66]

Solution :

Given :

$V_1 = 7 \ m/s$

Operation time, $T_1$ = 3000 hours per year

$V_2 = 10 \ m/s$

Operation time, $T_2$ = 2000 hours per year

The density, ρ = $1.25 \ kg/m^3$

The wind blows steadily. So, the K.E. = $(0.5 \dot{m} V^2)$

$= \dot{m} \times 0.5 V^2$

The power generation is the time rate of the kinetic energy which can be calculated as follows:

Power = $\Delta \ \dot{K.E.} = \dot{m} \frac{V^2}{2}$

Regarding that $\dot m \propto V$ . Then,

Power $\propto V^3$ → Power = constant x $V^3$

Since, $\rho_a$ is constant for both the sites and the area is the same as same winf turbine is used.

For the first site,

Power, $P_1= \text{const.} \times V_1^3$

$P_1 = \text{const.} \times 343 \ W$

For the second site,

Power, $P_2 = \text{const.} \times V_2^3 \ W$

$P_2 = \text{const.} \times 1000 \ W$
