san4es73 [151]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

shear walls, cross braces, diaphragms, and moment-resisting frames are central to reinforcing a building. Shear walls are a useful building technology that helps to transfer earthquake forces. Made of panels, these walls help a building keep its shape during movement.

Air at 7S°F and14.6 though a cfm(cubic ft per minute) and the The flow rate is 48000 psia flows though a rectangular duct of Ix2
IgorLugansk [536]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Air is at 75^{o}F and 14.6 psia.

\varepsilon = 0.00015 ft,     Flow rate, (Q) = 48000 ft^{3}/m

(a)  Formula to calculate hydraulic radius (r_{H}) is as follows.

              r_{H} = \frac{\text{free flow area}}{\text{wet perimeter}}

                          = \frac{2 \times 1}{2(1) + 2(2)}

                          = \frac{1}{3} ft

Formula for equivalent diameter is as follows.

                     D_{eq} = 4 \times r_{H}

                                    = 4 \times \frac{1}{3} ft  

                                    = \frac{4}{3} ft

(b)    Formula for velocity floe is as follows.

                         Q = VA

                     V = \frac{Q}{A}

                        = \frac{48000}{2 \times 1} ft/min

                        = 24000 ft/min

(c)   Formula to calculate Reynold's number is as follows.

         R_{e} = \frac{D \times V \times \rho}{\mu}

                   = \frac{\frac{4}{3} \times 24000 \times 0.0744}{0.0443}  (as \rho = 0.0744 lb/ft^{3} and \mu = 0.0443 lb/ft. hr)

                   = 53742.66 hr/min  

As 1 hr = 10 min. So, 53742.66 hr/min \times \frac{60 min}{1 hr}

                            = 3224559.6

(d)   Formula to calculate pressure drop (\Delta P) is as follows.

              \frac{\Delta P}{L} = \frac{4f \rho V^{2}}{2Dg_{c}}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

               \frac{\Delta P}{L} = \frac{4f \rho V^{2}}{2Dg_{c}}

                      = \frac{4 \times 0.00015 \times 100 \times 0.0744 \times (24000)^{2}}{2 \times \frac{4}{3} \times {4}{3}}

                      = 6.238 lb/ft^{2}
