uilding are 675 and 695 mm Hg, respectively, determine the height of the building in m. Take the densities of air and mercury to be 1.18 kg/m3 and 13,600 kg/m3.

Answer:

230.51 m

Explanation:

Pb = 695 mmHg

Pt = 675 mmHg

Pb - Pt = 20 mmHg

Calculate dP:

dP = p * g * H = (13600)*(9.81)*(20/1000) = 2668.320 Pa

Calculate Height of building as dP is same for any medium of liquid

dP = p*g*H = 2668.320

H = 2668.32 / (1.18 * 9.81) = 230.51 m

A rigid 10-L vessel initially contains a mixture of liquid and vapor water at 100 °C, with a quality factor of 0.123. The mixtur

Answer:

$Q_{in} = 46.454\,kJ$

Explanation:

The vessel is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics. Let suppose the inexistence of mass interaction at boundary between vessel and surroundings, changes in potential and kinectic energy are negligible and vessel is a rigid recipient.

$Q_{in} = U_{2} - U_{1}$

Properties of water at initial and final state are:

State 1 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 101.42\,kPa$

$T = 100\,^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 675.761\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.123$

State 2 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 476.16\,kPa$

$T = 150\,^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 1643.545\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.525$

The mass stored in the vessel is:

$m = \frac{V}{\nu}$

$m = \frac{10\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }$

$m = 0.048\,kg$

The heat transfer require to the process is:

$Q_{in} = m\cdot (u_{2}-u_{1})$

$Q_{in} = (0.048\,kg)\cdot (1643.545\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 675.761\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )$

$Q_{in} = 46.454\,kJ$

Explain the four criteria for proving the correctness of a logical pretest loop construct of the form "while B do S end". And pr

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The loop invariant has to satisfy some amount of requirements to be of good use. Another complex factor as to why a loop is the question of loop termination. A loop that doesn’t terminate can’t invariably be correct, and in fact the computation in whatever form amounts to nothing. The total axiomatic description of a while construct will have to involve all of the following to be true, in which I is the loop invariant:

P => I

{I and B} S {I}

(I and (not B)) => Q

Then the loop terminates

. Using the Newton Raphson method, determine the uniform flow depth in a trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 3.0 m and si

Over [174]

Answer:

y ≈ 2.5

Explanation:

Given data:

bottom width is 3 m

side slope is 1:2

discharge is 10 m^3/s

slope is 0.004

manning roughness coefficient is 0.015

manning equation is written as

$v =1/n R^{2/3} s^{1/2}$

where R is hydraulic radius

S = bed slope

$Q = Av =A 1/n R^{2/3} s^{1/2}$

$A = 1/2 \times (B+B+4y) \times y =(B+2y) y$

$R =\frac{A}{P}$

P is perimeter $= (B+2\sqrt{5} y)$

$R =\frac{(3+2y) y}{(3+2\sqrt{5} y)}$

$Q = (2+2y) y) \times 1/0.015 [\frac{(3+2y) y}{(3+2\sqrt{5} y)}]^{2/3} 0.004^{1/2}$

solving for y $100 =(2+2y) y) \times (1/0.015) [\frac{(3+2y) y}{(3+2\sqrt{5} y)}]^{2/3} \times 0.004^{1/2}$

solving for y value by using iteration method ,we get

y ≈ 2.5

1. A glass window of width W = 1 m and height H = 2 m is 5 mm thick and has a thermal conductivity of kg = 1.4 W/m*K. If the inn

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

1. $\dot Q=19600\ W$

2. $\dot Q=120\ W$

Explanation:

1.

Given:

height of the window pane, $h=2\ m$

width of the window pane, $w=1\ m$

thickness of the pane, $t=5\ mm= 0.005\ m$

thermal conductivity of the glass pane, $k_g=1.4\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

temperature of the inner surface, $T_i=15^{\circ}C$

temperature of the outer surface, $T_o=-20^{\circ}C$

<u>According to the Fourier's law the rate of heat transfer is given as:</u>

$\dot Q=k_g.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

here:

A = area through which the heat transfer occurs = $2\times 1=2\ m^2$

dT = temperature difference across the thickness of the surface = $35^{\circ}C$

dx = t = thickness normal to the surface = $0.005\ m$

$\dot Q=1.4\times 2\times \frac{35}{0.005}$

$\dot Q=19600\ W$

2.

air spacing between two glass panes, $dx=0.01\ m$

area of each glass pane, $A=2\times 1=2\ m^2$

thermal conductivity of air, $k_a=0.024\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

temperature difference between the surfaces, $dT=25^{\circ}C$

<u>Assuming layered transfer of heat through the air and the air between the glasses is always still:</u>

$\dot Q=k_a.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

$\dot Q=0.024\times 2\times \frac{25}{0.01}$

$\dot Q=120\ W$
