Water flows through a tee in a horizontal pipe system. The velocity in the stem of the tee is 15 f t/s, and the diameter is 12 i

n. Each branch is of 6 in diameter. If the pressure in the stem is 20 psi, calculate magnitude and direction of the force of the water on the tee if the flow rate in the branches are the same

Answer:

The resultant force is 2620.05 lbf acting to the right.

Explanation:

The area for inlet section is:

A_{1}=\frac{\pi D_{1}^{2}   }{4}  =\frac{\pi (12/12)^{2} }{4} =0.79 ft^{2}

The area for oulet section is:

A_{2} =\frac{\pi D_{2}^{2}   }{4} =\frac{\pi (6/12)^{2} }{4} =0.196 ft^{2}

The volumetric flow rate is:

Q=V1A1=15*0.79=11.85 ft^3/s

The velocities and areas at the exit is the same:

Q=V2A2+V3A3=2V2A2

Clearing V2:

V2=V3=Q/(2*A2)=11.85/(2*0.196)=30 ft/s

The mass flow rate through inlet is:

m1=ρA1V1=1.94*15*0.79=22.99 lbf*s/ft

The mass flow rate through outlet is:

m2=m3=m1/2=22.99/2=11.49 lbf*s/ft

The x-component of force is:

Rx+p1A1=-V1m1

Where p1 is the pressure at inlet

Rx=-(15*22.99)-(2880*0.79)=-2620.05 lbf

Fx=-Rx=2620.05 lbf

The y-component of force is:

Ry+p2A2-p3A3=V2m2-V3m3

Ry+0-0=(30*11.49)-(30*11.49)

Ry=0

Fy=Ry=0

The resultant force is:

F=\sqrt{Fx^{2}+Fy^{2}  } =\sqrt{2620.05^{2}+0 } =2620.05 lbf

This force is acting to the right.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

a)Cycle time = 2.37 min

b)Numbers of workers =21

c)Stations on the line =24

Explanation:

Given that

Total work content time(TWC) = 50 min

Production rate Rp= 24 units/hr

manning level will be close =1.5

Line balancing efficiency =0.94

a)

Cycle time

T_c=\dfrac{60E}{R_P}

T_c=\dfrac{60\times 0.95}{24}

Cycle time = 2.37 min

b)

Numbers of workers ,W

W=\dfrac{TWC}{T_c}

W=\dfrac{50}{2.37}

W= 21

Numbers of workers =21

c)

Stations on the line(n)

Lets find service time Ts

Ts = Cycle time -  Time for repositioning

Ts = Tc- Tr

Ts= 2.37  - 9/ 60 min

Ts= 2.22 min

We  know that efficiency

\eta=\dfrac{TWC}{n.T_s}

0.94=\dfrac{50}{n\times 2.22}

n=23.94  ⇒n=24

n=24

Stations on the line =24

Illusion [34]

Answer:

a) 152000 slugs

b) 2220000 kg or 2220 metric tons

Explanation:

A body with a weight of 4.9*10^6 lbf has a mass of

4.9*10^6 lbm * 1 lbf/lbm = 4.9*10^6 lbm

This mass value can then be converted to other mass values.

1 slug is 32.17 lbm

Therefore:

4.9*10^6 lbm * 1 slug / (32.17 lbm) = 152000 slugs

1 lb is 0.453 kg

Therefore:

4.9*10^6 lbm / (1/0.453) * kg/lbm = 2220000 kg

Technician A says that the distributor cap provides a connection point between the rotor and each individual cylinder plug wire.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Neither a or b.

Explanation:

The distributor cap is cover which protects internal parts and holds contact between internal rotor and spark plug wires. When inspecting distributor caps there should be some carbon tracking which looks like bright white grease trails.

Which of the following is correct oil viscosity for hybrid electric vehicle?
sp2606 [1]

SAE 0W-10 is the correct oil viscosity for hybrid electric vehicle.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The lubricant hydrodynamic friction which minimizes the viscosity grade and allows the fuel economy significantly.
  • The benefits are the cold oil and other conditions for temperature.
  • The grade of viscosity is very less and the oil improves the flow for the start up, the oil pressure fasts the delivery to build up, the raisings are fastly reversed and reached the fast temperature.
  • The requirement of hybrid electric vehicle also meets and there will be multiples of starts and stops of the gasoline engine during the different phases of hybrid vehicle.
