Answer:

I'm going to make a list of everything you need to consider for the supervision and design of the bridge.

1. the materials with which you are going to build it.

2. the length of the bridge.

3. The dynamic and static load to which the bridge will be subjected.

4. How corrosive is the environment where it will be built.

5.wind forces

6. The force due to possible earthquakes.

7. If it is going to be built in an environment where snow falls.

8. The bridge is unique,so   the shape has a geometry that resists loads?.

9. bridge costs.

10. Personal and necessary machines.

11. how much the river grows

A water pump delivers 3 hp of shaft power when operating. If the pressure differential between the outlet and the inlet of the p
Natali [406]

Answer:

Mechanical Efficiency =  83.51%

Explanation:

Given Data:

Pressure difference = ΔP=1.2 Psi

Flow rate = V=8ft^3/s\\

Power of Pump = 3 hp

Required:

Mechanical Efficiency

Solution:

We will first bring the change the units of given data into SI units.

P=1.2*6.895 = 8.274KPa\\V=8*0.00283=0.226 m^3/s\\P=3*0.746=2.238KW

Now we will find the change in energy.

Since it is mentioned in the statement that change in elevation (potential energy) and change in velocity (Kinetic Energy) are negligible.

Thus change in energy is

=(Mass * change in P)/density\\= \frac{M*P}{p}\\\\

As we know that Mass = Volume x density

substituting the value

Energy = Volume * density x ΔP / density

Change in energy = Volumetric flow x ΔP

Change in energy = 0.226 x 8.274 = 1.869 KW

Now mechanical efficiency = change in energy / work done by shaft

Efficiency = 1.869 / 2.238

Efficiency = 0.8351 = 83.51%

A building window pane that is 1.44 m high and 0.96 m wide is separated from the ambient air by a storm window of the same heigh
sdas [7]

Answer:

the rate of heat loss by convection across the air space = 82.53 W

Explanation:

The film temperature

T_f = \frac{T_1+T_2}{2} \\\\= \frac{20-10}{2}\\\\= \frac{10}{2}\\\\= 5^0\ C

to kelvin = (5 + 273)K = 278 K

From  the " thermophysical properties of gases at atmospheric pressure" table; At T_f = 278 K ; by interpolation; we have the following

\frac{278-250}{300-250}= \frac{v-11.44(10^{-6})}{15.89(10^{-6})-11.44(10^{-6})}  → v 13.93 (10⁻⁶) m²/s

\frac{278-250}{300-250}= \frac{k-22.3(10^{-3}}{26.3(10^{-3}-22.3(10^{-3})} → k = 0.0245 W/m.K

\frac{278-250}{300-250}= \frac{\alpha - 15.9(10^{-6})}{22.5(10^{-6}-15.9(10^{-6})} → ∝ = 19.6(10⁻⁶)m²/s

\frac{278-250}{300-250}= \frac{Pr-0.720}{0.707-0.720} → Pr = 0.713

\beta = \frac{1}{T_f} \\=\frac{1}{278} \\ \\ = 0.00360 \ K ^{-1}

The Rayleigh number for vertical cavity

Ra_L  = \frac{g \beta (T_1-T_2)L^3}{\alpha v}

= \frac{9.81*0.00360(20-(-10))*0.06^3}{19.6(10^{-6})*13.93(10^{-6})}

= 8.38*10^5

\frac{H}{L}= \frac{1.44}{0.06} \\ \\= 24

For the rectangular cavity enclosure , the Nusselt number empirical correlation:

Nu_L = 0.42(8.38*10^5)^{\frac{1}{4}}(0.713)^{0.012}(24){-0.3}

NU_L= \frac{hL}{k}= 4.878

\frac{hL}{k}= 4.878

\frac{h*0.06}{0.0245}= 4.878

h = \frac{4.878*0.0245}{0.06}

h = 1.99 W/m².K

Finally; the rate of heat loss by convection across the air space;

q = hA(T₁ - T₂)

q = 1.99(1.4*0.96)(20-(-10))

q = 82.53 W
