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.

Why is the uniaxial tension test commonly used to evaluate the mechanical properties of metals?
inn [45]

Answer:

Because with this test you can determine complex material parameters like Young’s modulus, yield strength, ultimate strength and elongation at break. This is important because it provides us with the factor of safety  that needs to be built-in the products using these materials.

Explanation:

This test consists in place the material between to tweezers to subdued the material into a stress-strain test. The figure shows the procedure.

In the x axe the strain and the y axe the stress.

The HR department should install wheelchair ramps and widen the doorways as they don't want to loose an exceptional systems engineer who hopes to work at the techtonic group.

What is a wheelchair ramps?

A wheelchair ramp is an inclined plane that can be installed in addition to or instead of stairs. Ramps make it easier for wheelchair users, as well as people pushing strollers, carts, or other wheeled objects, to enter a building.

The Americans with Disabilities Act requires wheelchair ramps (or other ways for wheelchair users to access a building, such as a wheelchair lift) in new construction for public accommodations in the United States.

A wheelchair ramp can be fixed, semi-fixed, or portable. Permanent ramps are intended to be bolted or otherwise attached to the ground. Semi-permanent ramps are commonly used in the short term and rest on top of the ground or concrete pad.
