Answer:

h_f = 15 ft, so option A is correct

Explanation:

The formula for head loss is given by;

h_f = [10.44•L•Q^(1.85)]/(C^(1.85))•D^(4.8655))

Where;

h_f is head loss due to friction in ft

L is length of pipe in ft

Q is flow rate of water in gpm

C is hazen Williams constant

D is diameter of pipe in inches

We are given;

L = 1,800 ft

Q = 600 gpm

C = 120

D = 8 inches

So, plugging in these values into the equation, we have;

h_f = [10.44*1800*600^(1.85)]/(120^(1.85))*8^(4.8655))

h_f = 14.896 ft.

So, h_f is approximately 15 ft

#5 Air undergoes an adiabatic compression in a piston-cylinder assembly from P1= 1 atm and Ti=70 oF to P2= 5 atm. Employing idea

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The work transfer per unit mass is approximately 149.89 kJ

The heat transfer for an adiabatic process = 0

Explanation:

The given information are;

P₁ = 1 atm

T₁ = 70°F = 294.2611 F

P₂ = 5 atm

γ = 1.5

Therefore, we have for adiabatic system under compression

$T_{2} = T_{1}\cdot \left (\dfrac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} \right )^{\dfrac{\gamma -1}{\gamma }}$

Therefore, we have;

$T_{2} = 294.2611 \times \left (\dfrac{5}{1} \right )^{\dfrac{1.5 -1}{1.5 }} \approx 503.179 \ K$

The p·dV work is given as follows;

$p \cdot dV = m \cdot c_v \cdot (T_2 - T_1)$

Therefore, we have;

Taking air as a diatomic gas, we have;

$C_v = \dfrac{5\times R}{2} = \dfrac{5\times 8.314}{2} = 20.785 \ J/(mol \cdot K)$

The molar mass of air = 28.97 g/mol

Therefore, we have

$c_v = \dfrac{C_v}{Molar \ mass} = \dfrac{20.785}{28.97} \approx 0.7175 \ kJ/(kg \cdot K)$

The work done per unit mass of gas is therefore;

$p \cdot dV =W = 1 \times 0.7175 \times (503.179 - 294.2611) \approx 149.89 \ kJ$

The work transfer per unit mass ≈ 149.89 kJ

The heat transfer for an adiabatic process = 0.

Refrigerant-134a enters the expansion valve of a refrigeration system at 120 psia as a saturated liquid and leaves at 20 psia. D

Shkiper50 [21]

Solution :

$P_1 = 120 \ psia$

$P_2 = 20 \ psia$

Using the data table for refrigerant-134a at P = 120 psia

$h_1=h_f=40.8365 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_1=u_f=40.5485 \ Btu/lbm$

$T_{sat}=87.745^\circ F$

∴ $h_2=h_1=40.8365 \ Btu/lbm$

For pressure, P = 20 psia

$h_{2f} = 11.445 \ Btu/lbm$

$h_{2g} = 102.73 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_{2f} = 11.401 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_{2g} = 94.3 \ Btu/lbm$

$T_2=T_{sat}=-2.43^\circ F$

Change in temperature, $\Delta T = T_2-T_1$

$\Delta T = -2.43-87.745$

$\Delta T=-90.175^\circ F$

Now we find the quality,

$h_2=h_f+x_2(h_g-h_f)$

$40.8365=11.445+x_2(91.282)$

$x_2=0.32198$

The final energy,

$u_2=u_f+x_2.u_{fg}$

$=11.401+0.32198(82.898)$

$=38.09297 \ Btu/lbm$

Change in internal energy

$\Delta u= u_2-u_1$

= 38.09297-40.5485

= -2.4556

Hi,I want to know something.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

So it looks to me that, Yes, you can find 10-50 leds on Amazon. You just have to be specific and search 10-50 led Christmas lights for windows, or something along those lines. Also try filtering the results, and reading the descriptions and reviews. This should help you out, and if it doesn't then I'm sorry.

Good luck friend :)

It is not a practical proposition to take direct measurements in nanoscale, but we can estimate variations in position and momen

Volgvan

Answer:

Answer is c Heisenberg's uncertainty principle

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle there is always an inherent uncertainty in measuring the position and momentum of a particle simultaneously.

Mathematically

$\Delta x\times \Delta \overrightarrow{p}\geq \frac{h}{4\pi }$

here 'h' is planck's constant

A block of ice weighing 20 lb is taken from the freezer where it was stored at -15"F. How many Btu of heat will be required to c

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Heat required =7126.58 Btu.

Explanation:

Given that

Mass m=20 lb

We know that

1 lb =0.45 kg

So 20 lb=9 kg

m=9 kg

Ice at -15° F and we have to covert it at 200° F.

First ice will take sensible heat at up to 32 F then it will take latent heat at constant temperature and temperature will remain 32 F.After that it will convert in water and water will take sensible heat and reach at 200 F.

We know that

Specific heat for ice $C_p=2.03\ KJ/kg.K$

Latent heat for ice H=336 KJ/kg

Specific heat for ice $C_p=4.187\ KJ/kg.K$

We know that sensible heat given as

$Q=mC_p\Delta T$

Heat for -15F to 32 F:

$Q=mC_p\Delta T$

$Q=9\times 2.03(32+15) KJ$

Q=858.69 KJ

Heat for 32 Fto 200 F:

$Q=mC_p\Delta T$

$Q=9\times 4.187(200-32) KJ$

Q=6330.74 KJ

Total heat=858.69 + 336 +6330.74 KJ

Total heat=7525.43 KJ

We know that 1 KJ=0.947 Btu

So 7525.43 KJ=7126.58 Btu

So heat required to covert ice into water is 7126.58 Btu.
