Answer:

the absolute pressure in the smaller pipe = 19.63 psi

Explanation:

Let A be the diameter of the first pipe = 3 inches

Let B be the diameter of the second pipe.  = 1.5 inches

To feet (ft) ; we have

Diameter of the pipe A D_1 = (\dfrac{3}{12})ft = 0.25  \ ft

Diameter of pipe B  D_1 = (\dfrac{1.5}{12})ft = 0.125  \ ft

Temperature T = 120° F = (120+ 460)°R

= 580 ° R

The pressure gage to atmospheric pressure ; we have:

P_{Absolute }=P _{Atm} + P_{guage}

where;

atmospheric pressure = 1.47 psi

pressure gage = 20 psi

P_{Absolute }=(1.47+20)psi

P_{Absolute }=34.7 \ psi

To lb/ft²; we have:

P_{Absolute }=(34.7 *144 ) lb/ft^2

P_{Absolute }= 4.998.6 fb/ft²

The density of carbon dioxide can be calculated by using the relation

\rho = \dfrac{P}{RT}

\rho = \dfrac{4996.8}{(1130 \ lb /slug ^0 R)*(580{^0} R)}

\rho = 7.64*10^{-3}\ slug /ft^3

Formula for calculating cross sectional area is

A = \dfrac{\pi}{4}D

For diameter of pipe D_1 = 0.025

A₁ = \dfrac{\pi}{4}*0.25^2

A₁ = 0.04909 ft²

For diameter of pipe D_2 - 0.0125

A₂ =\dfrac{\pi}{4}*0.125^2

A₂ = 0.012227 ft²

Using the continuity equation to determine the velocities V₁ and V₂ respectively.

For V₁

Q = A₁V₁

V₁ = Q₁/ A₁

V₁ = 1.5/0.04909

V₁ = 30.557 ft/s

For V₂

Q = A₂V₂

V₂= Q₂/ A₂

V₂ = 1.5/0.04909

V₂ = 30.557 ft/s

Finally; using Bernoulli's Equation to the flow of the carbon dioxide from the larger pipe to the smaller pipe ; we have:

p_1 + \dfrac{\rho V_1^2}{2}+\gamma Z_1= p_2 + \dfrac{\rho V_2^2}{2}+\gamma Z_2

Since the pipe is horizontal then;

\gamma Z_1= \gamma Z_2

So;

p_1 + \dfrac{\rho V_1^2}{2}= p_2 + \dfrac{\rho V_2^2}{2}

p_2 =p_1 +\dfrac{1}{2}  \rho(V_1^2-V_2^2)

p_2 =4996.8+\dfrac{1}{2}  *7.624*10^{-3}(30.557^2-122.23^2)

p_2 =4943.41 \ lb/ft^2

To psi;

p_2 =\dfrac{4943.41 }{144}psi

p_2 =34.33 \ psi gage

The absolute pressure in the smaller pipe can be calculated as:

p_2 _{absolute} = 34.33 - 14.7

p_2 _{absolute} = 19.63 \ \  absolute

Hence, the absolute pressure in the smaller pipe = 19.63 psi

An alternating current E(t) =120 sin(12t) has been running through a simple circuit for a long time. The circuit has an inductan
german

Answer:

Explanation:

we have given E(t)=120 sin(12t)

R=5 ohm

L=0.2 H

ω=12 ( from expression of E)

X_L=0.2\times 12=2.4 ohm

X_C=\frac{1}{\omega \times C}=\frac{1}{12\times 0.043}=1.9379\ ohm

Z=\sqrt{R^2+\left ( \omega L-\frac{1}{\omega C} \right )^2}

Z=\sqrt{5^2+\left ( \2.4-1.9379 )^2}

=5.021 ohm

so amplitude of current =  \frac{v}{z}=\frac{120}{5.021}=23.89
