Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

h= 15 ft

d= 3 in

We know that 1 in = 0.0833 ft

d= 0.25 ft

Weight ,wt= 4 lb

Specific weight = 64 lb/ft3

The area A\

(See image)

The hydraulic pressure = 47.04 lb

We have to apply 51.04 lb force to open the drain.

Determine the required dimensions of a column with a square cross section to carry an axial compressive load of 6500 lb if its l
ycow [4]

Answer: 0.95 inches

Explanation:

A direct load on a column is considered or referred to as an axial compressive load. A direct concentric load is considered axial. If the load is off center it is termed eccentric and is no longer axially applied.

The length= 64 inches

Ends are fixed Le= 64/2 = 32 inches

Factor Of Safety (FOS) = 3. 0

E= 10.6× 10^6 ps

σy= 4000ps

The square cross-section= ia^4/12

PE= π^2EI/Le^2

6500= 3.142^2 × 10^6 × a^4/12×32^2

a^4= 0.81 => a=0.81 inches => a=0.95 inches

Given σy= 4000ps

σallowable= σy/3= 40000/3= 13333. 33psi

Load acting= 6500

Area= a^2= 0.95 ×0.95= 0.9025

σactual=6500/0.9025

σ actual < σallowable

The dimension a= 0.95 inches

. Using the Newton Raphson method, determine the uniform flow depth in a trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 3.0 m and si
Over [174]

Answer:

y  ≈ 2.5

Explanation:

Given data:

bottom width is 3 m

side slope is 1:2

discharge is 10 m^3/s

slope is 0.004

manning roughness coefficient is 0.015

manning equation is written as

v =1/n R^{2/3} s^{1/2}

where R is hydraulic radius

S = bed slope

Q = Av =A 1/n R^{2/3} s^{1/2}

A = 1/2 \times (B+B+4y) \times y =(B+2y) y

R =\frac{A}{P}

P is perimeter =  (B+2\sqrt{5} y)

R =\frac{(3+2y) y}{(3+2\sqrt{5} y)}

Q = (2+2y) y) \times 1/0.015 [\frac{(3+2y) y}{(3+2\sqrt{5} y)}]^{2/3} 0.004^{1/2}

solving for y100 =(2+2y) y) \times (1/0.015) [\frac{(3+2y) y}{(3+2\sqrt{5} y)}]^{2/3} \times 0.004^{1/2}

solving for y value by using iteration method ,we get

y  ≈ 2.5

The roof of a refrigerated truck compartment consists of a layer of foamed urethane insulation (t2 = 21 mm, ki = 0.026 W/m K) be
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Tso = 28.15°C

Explanation:

given data

t2 = 21 mm

ki = 0.026 W/m K

t1 = 9 mm

kp = 180 W/m K

length of the roof is L = 13 m

net solar radiation into the roof = 107 W/m²

temperature of the inner surface Ts,i = -4°C

air temperature is T[infinity] = 29°C

convective heat transfer coefficient h = 47 W/m² K

solution

As when energy on the outer surface at roof of a refrigerated truck that is balance as

Q = \frac{T \infty - T si }{\frac{1}{hA}+\frac{t1}{AKp}+\frac{t2}{AKi}+\frac{t1}{aKp}}       .....................1

Q = \frac{T \infty - Tso}{\frac{1}{hA}}                         .....................2

now we compare both equation 1 and 2 and put here value

\frac{29-(-4)}{\frac{1}{47}+\frac{2\times0.009}{180}+\frac{0.021}{0.026}} = \frac{29-Tso}{\frac{1}{47}}            

solve it and we get

Tso = 28.153113

so Tso = 28.15°C
