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 $lb/ft^{2}$
