According to fire regulations in a town, the pressure drop in a commercial steel, horizontal pipe must not exceed 2.0 psi per 25

0 ft of pipe for flow rates up to 500 gal/min. If the water temperature is never below 50˚F, what diameter pipe is needed?

Answer:

6.37 inch

Explanation:

Thinking process:

We need to know the flow rate of the fluid through the cross sectional pipe. Let this rate be denoted by Q.

To determine the pressure drop in the pipe:

Using the Bernoulli equation for mass conservation:

\frac{P1}{\rho } + \frac{v_{2} }{2g} +z_{1}  = \frac{P2}{\rho } + \frac{v2^{2} }{2g} + z_{2} + f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}

thus

\frac{P1-P2}{\rho }  = f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}

The largest pressure drop (P1-P2) will occur with the largest f, which occurs with the smallest Reynolds number, Re or the largest V.

Since the viscosity of the water increases with temperature decrease, we consider coldest case at T = 50⁰F

from the tables

Re= 2.01 × 10⁵

Hence, f = 0.018

Therefore, pressure drop, (P1-P2)/p = 2.70 ft

This occurs at ae presure change of 1.17 psi

Correlating with the chart, we find that the diameter will be D= 0.513

                                                                                                      = <u>6.37 in Ans</u>

At the instant under consideration, the hydraulic cylinder AB has a length L = 0.75 m, and this length is momentarily increasing
Inessa [10]

Answer:

vB = - 0.176 m/s   (↓-)

Explanation:

Given

(AB) = 0.75 m

(AB)' = 0.2 m/s

vA = 0.6 m/s

θ = 35°

vB = ?

We use the formulas

Sin θ = Sin 35° = (OA)/(AB) ⇒  (OA) = Sin 35°*(AB)

⇒   (OA) = Sin 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.43 m

Cos θ = Cos 35° = (OB)/(AB) ⇒  (OB) = Cos 35°*(AB)

⇒   (OB) = Cos 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.614 m

We apply Pythagoras' theorem as follows

(AB)² = (OA)² + (OB)²

We derive the equation

2*(AB)*(AB)' = 2*(OA)*vA + 2*(OB)*vB

⇒  (AB)*(AB)' = (OA)*vA + (OB)*vB

⇒  vB = ((AB)*(AB)' - (OA)*vA) / (OB)

then we have

⇒  vB = ((0.75 m)*(0.2 m/s) - (0.43 m)*(0.6 m/s) / (0.614 m)

⇒  vB = - 0.176 m/s   (↓-)

What was the role of the rotors in the enigma machine?.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Implements a reordering of the letters of the alphabet.

Explanation: GIVE ME 5 STARS AND a HEART!!!                                      Those contacts are wired across the rotor so that each contact on the left connects to the contact on the right in some scrambled arrangement. Each rotor, therefore, implements a reordering of the letters of the alphabet, which mathematicians call a permutation.

Consider a very long, cylindrical fin. The temperature of the fin at the tip and base are 25 °C and 50 °C, respectively. The dia
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

98°C

Explanation:

Total surface area of cylindrical fin = πr² + 2πrl , r = 0.015m; l= 0.1m; π =22/7

22/7*(0.015)² + 22/7*0.015*0.1 = 7.07 X 10∧-4 + 47.1 X 10∧-4 = (54.17 X 10∧-4)m²

Temperature change, t = (50 - 25)°C = 25°C = 298K

Hence, Temperature =  150 X (54.17 X 10∧-4) X 298/123 = 242.14/124 = 2.00K =

∴ Temperature change = 2.00K

But temperature, T= (373 - 2)K = 371 K

In °C = (371 - 273)K = 98°C
