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.

What is a shearing stress? Is there a force resulting from two solids in contact to which is it similar?
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Shearing stresses are the stresses generated in any material when a force acts in such a way that it tends to tear off the material.

Generally the above definition is valid at an armature level, in more technical terms shearing stresses are the component of the stresses that act parallel to any plane in a material that is under stress. Shearing stresses are present in a body even if normal forces act on it along the centroidal axis.

Mathematically in a plane AB the shearing stresses are given by

\tau =\frac{Fcos(\theta )}{A}

Yes the shearing force which generates the shearing stresses is similar to frictional force that acts between the 2 surfaces in contact with each other.

Counter argument for why engineers dont make a positive change in the world.​
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

They don't make a positive change in the world because they have made mistakes that aren't able to be made fixed and there are a lot of engineers who haven't study enough and know the important basis of coming to engineer.

Small droplets of carbon tetrachloride at 68 °F are formed with a spray nozzle. If the average diameter of the droplets is 200 u
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the droplets is 538 Pa

Explanation:

given data

temperature = 68 °F

average diameter = 200 µm

to find out

what is the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the droplets

solution

we know here surface tension of carbon tetra chloride at 68 °F is get from table 1.6 physical properties of liquid that is

σ = 2.69 × 10^{-2} N/m

so average radius = \frac{diameter}{2} =  100 µm = 100 ×10^{-6} m

now here we know relation between pressure difference and surface tension

so we can derive difference pressure as

2π×σ×r = Δp×π×r²    .....................1

here r is radius and  Δp pressure difference and σ surface tension

Δp = \frac{2 \sigma }{r}    

put here value

Δp = \frac{2*2.69*10^{-2}}{100*10^{-6}}  

Δp = 538

so the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the droplets is 538 Pa

At a point on the free surface of a stressed body, the normal stresses are 20 ksi (T) on a vertical plane and 30 ksi (C) on a ho
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The principal stresses are σp1 = 27 ksi, σp2 = -37 ksi and the shear stress is zero

Explanation:

The expression for the maximum shear stress is given:

\tau _{M} =\sqrt{(\frac{\sigma _{x}^{2}-\sigma _{y}^{2}  }{2})^{2}+\tau _{xy}^{2}    }

Where

σx = stress in vertical plane = 20 ksi

σy = stress in horizontal plane = -30 ksi

τM = 32 ksi

Replacing:

32=\sqrt{(\frac{20-(-30)}{2} )^{2} +\tau _{xy}^{2}  }

Solving for τxy:

τxy = ±19.98 ksi

The principal stress is:

\sigma _{x}+\sigma _{y} =\sigma _{p1}+\sigma _{p2}

Where

σp1 = 20 ksi

σp2 = -30 ksi

\sigma _{p1}  +\sigma _{p2}=-10 ksi (equation 1)

\tau _{M} =\frac{\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}}{2} \\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=2\tau _{M}\\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=32*2=64ksi equation 2

Solving both equations:

σp1 = 27 ksi

σp2 = -37 ksi

The shear stress on the vertical plane is zero

100 kg of R-134a at 200 kPa are contained in a piston–cylinder device whose volume is 12.322 m3. The piston is now moved until t
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

T=151 K, U=-1.848*10^6J

Explanation:

The given process occurs when the pressure is constant. Given gas follows the Ideal Gas Law:

 pV=nRT

For the given scenario, we operate with the amount of the gas- n- calculated in moles. To find n, we use molar mass: M=102 g/mol.  

Using the given mass m, molar mass M, we can get the following equation:  

 pV=mRT/M

To calculate change in the internal energy, we need to know initial and final temperatures. We can calculate both temperatures as:

T=pVM/(Rm); so initial T=302.61K and final T=151.289K

 

Now we can calculate change of U:

U=3/2 mRT/M using T- difference in temperatures

 U=-1.848*10^6 J

Note, that the energy was taken away from the system.
