How high a building could fire hoses effectively spray from the ground? Fire hose pressures are around 1 MPa. (It is also said t

Answer:

z_{2} = 91.640\,m

Explanation:

The phenomenon can be modelled after the Bernoulli's Principle, in which the sum of heads related to pressure and kinetic energy on ground level is equal to the head related to gravity.

\frac{P_{1}}{\rho\cdot g} + \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2\cdot g}= z_{2}+\frac{P_{2}}{\rho\cdot g}

The velocity of water delivered by the fire hose is:

v_{1} = \frac{(300\,\frac{gal}{min} )\cdot(\frac{3.785\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{1\,gal} )\cdot(\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} )}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (0.3\,m)^{2}}

v_{1} = 0.267\,\frac{m}{s}

The maximum height is cleared in the Bernoulli's equation:

z_{2}= \frac{P_{1}-P_{2}}{\rho\cdot g} + \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2\cdot g}

z_{2}= \frac{1\times 10^{6}\,Pa-101.325\times 10^{3}\,Pa}{(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )} + \frac{(0.267\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}

z_{2} = 91.640\,m

Determine the hydraulic radius for the following rectangular open channel width =23m water depth =3m
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

2.379m

Explanation:

The width = 23m

The depth = 3m

The radius is denoted as R

The wetted area is = A

The perimeter perimeter = P

Hydraulic radius

R = A/P

The area of a rectangular channel

= Width multiplied by Depth

A = 23x3

A = 69m²

Perimeter = (2x3)+23

P = 6+23

P= 29

Hydraulic radius R = 69/29

= 2.379m

This answers the question

A 4-L pressure cooker has an operating pressure of 175 kPa. Initially, one-half of the volume is filled with liquid and the othe
vodomira [7]

Answer:

the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Volume = 4L = 0.004 m³

V_f = V_g = 0.002 m³

Using Table ( saturated water - pressure table);

at pressure p = 175 kPa;

v_f = 0.001057 m³/kg

v_g = 1.0037 m³/kg

u_f = 486.82 kJ/kg

u_g 2524.5 kJ/kg

h_g = 2700.2 kJ/kg

So the initial mass of the water;

m₁ = V_f/v_f + V_g/v_g

we substitute

m₁ = 0.002/0.001057  + 0.002/1.0037

m₁ = 1.89414 kg

Now, the final mass will be;

m₂ = V/v_g

m₂ = 0.004 / 1.0037

m₂ = 0.003985 kg

Now, mass leaving the pressure cooker is;

m_{out = m₁ - m₂

m_{out = 1.89414  - 0.003985

m_{out = 1.890155 kg

so, Initial internal energy will be;

U₁ = m_fu_f + m_gu_g

U₁ = (V_f/v_f)u_f  + (V_g/v_g)u_g

we substitute

U₁ = (0.002/0.001057)(486.82)  + (0.002/1.0037)(2524.5)

U₁ = 921.135288 + 5.030387

U₁ = 926.165675 kJ

Now, using Energy balance;

E_{in -  E_{out = ΔE_{sys

QΔt - m_{outh_{out = m₂u₂ - U₁

QΔt - m_{outh_g = m₂u_g - U₁

given that time = 75 min = 75 × 60s = 4500 sec

so we substitute

Q(4500) - ( 1.890155 × 2700.2 ) = ( 0.003985 × 2524.5 ) - 926.165675

Q(4500) - 5103.7965 = 10.06013 - 926.165675

Q(4500) = 10.06013 - 926.165675 + 5103.7965

Q(4500) = 4187.690955

Q = 4187.690955 / 4500

Q = 0.9306 kW

Therefore, the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW
