The closed tank of a fire engine is partly filled with water, the air space above being under pressure. A 6 cm bore connected to

the tank discharges on the roof of a building 2.5 m above the level of water in the tank. The friction losses are of 45 cm of water. Determine the air pressure which must be maintained in the tank to deliver 20 litres/sec on the roof.

Answer:

The air pressure in the tank is 53.9 kN/m^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

Discharge rate, Q = 20 litres/ sec = 0.02\ m^{3}/s

(Since, 1 litre = 10^{-3} m^{3})

Diameter of the bore, d = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Head loss due to friction, H_{loss} = 45 cm = 0.45\ m

Height, h_{roof} = 2.5\ m

Now,

The velocity in the bore is given by:

v = \frac{Q}{\pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}}

v = \frac{0.02}{\pi (\frac{0.06}{2})^{2}} = 7.07\ m/s

Now, using Bernoulli's eqn:

\frac{P}{\rho g} + \frac{v^{2}}{2g} + h = k                  (1)

The velocity head is given by:

\frac{v_{roof}^{2}}{2g} = \frac{7.07^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.553

Now, by using energy conservation on the surface of water on the roof and that in the tank :

\frac{P_{tank}}{\rho g} + \frac{v_{tank}^{2}}{2g} + h_{tank} = \frac{P_{roof}}{\rho g} + \frac{v_{tank}^{2}}{2g} + h_{roof} + H_{loss}

\frac{P_{tank}}{\rho g} + 0 + 0 = \0 + 2.553 + 2.5 + 0.45

P_{tank} = 5.5\times \rho \times g

P_{tank} = 5.5\times 1\times 9.8 = 53.9\ kN/m^{2}

A gas stream flowing at 1000 cfm with a particulate loading of 400 gr/ft3 discharges from a certain industrial plant through an
Makovka662 [10]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

Volume of gas stream = 1000 cfm (Cubic Feet per Minute)

Particulate loading = 400 gr/ft3 (Grain/cubic feet)

1 gr/ft3 = 0.00220462 lb/ft3

Total weight of particulate matter = 1000 \mathrm{cfm} \times 400 \mathrm{gr} / \mathrm{tt} 3 \times .000142857 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft} 3 \times 60=3428.568 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{hr}

Cyclone is to 80 % efficient

So particulate remaining = 0.20 \times 3428.568 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{hr}=685.7136

emissions from this stack be limited to = 10.0 lb/hr

Particles to be remaining after wet scrubber = 10.0 lb/hr

So particles to be removed = 685.7136- 10 = 675.7136

Efficiency = output multiply with 100/input = 98.542 %

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

a.) a component item is coded at the lowest level at which it appears in the BOM structure is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • Low-level coding is a kind of programming language used in BOM structures and it carries basic commands that are identified by a computer.
  • The two types of low-level coding are
  • Assembly language.
  • machine language.
  • The advantages of using low-level coding are programs develop by using low-level code are very memory effective and quick and there no need to use interpreters for the conversion of the source to machine code.

I need help with this question please
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The resultant moment is 477.84 N·m

Explanation:

We note that the resultant moment is given by the moment about a given point

The length of the sides of the formed triangles are;

l = sin(40°) × 4/sin(110°) ≈ 2.736

Taking the moment about the lower left hand corner of the figure, with the convention that clockwise moments are positive, we have;

The resultant moment, ∑m, is given as follow;

∑M = 250 N × 4 m + 400 N × cos(40°) × 4 m - 400 N × cos(40°) × 2 m + 400 N × sin(40°) × 2 m × tan(40°) - 600 N × cos(40°) × 2 m - 600 N× sin(40°) × 2 m × tan(40°) = 477.837084 N·m

Therefore, the resultant moment, ∑m ≈ 477.84 N·m clockwise.
