In a 100 mm diameter horizontal pipe, a venturimeter of 0.5 contraction ratio has been fitted. The head of water on the meter wh

en there is no flow is 3 m (gauge). Find the rate of flow for which the throat pressure will be 2m of water absolute. Discharge coefficient for the meter is 0.97.

Answer:

the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the pipe = 100mm = 0.1m

Contraction ratio = 0.5

thus, diameter at the throat of venturimeter = 0.5×0.1m = 0.05m

The formula for discharge through a venturimeter is given as:

Q=C_d\frac{A_1A_2}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}\sqrt{2gh}

Where,

C_d is the coefficient of discharge = 0.97 (given)

A₁ = Area of the pipe

A₁ = \frac{\pi}{4}0.1^2 = 7.85\times 10^{-3}m^2

A₂ = Area at the throat

A₂ = \frac{\pi}{4}0.05^2 = 1.96\times 10^{-3}m^2

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Now,

The gauge pressure at throat = Absolute pressure - The atmospheric pressure

⇒The gauge pressure at throat = 2 - 10.3 = -8.3 m (Atmosphric pressure = 10.3 m of water)

Thus, the pressure difference at the throat and the pipe = 3- (-8.3) = 11.3m

Substituting the values in the discharge formula we get

Q=0.97\frac{7.85\times 10^{-3}\times 1.96\times 10^{-3}}{\sqrt{7.85\times 10^{-3}^2-1.96\times 10^{-3}^2}}\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 11.3}

or

Q=\frac{0.97\times15.42\times 10^{-6}\times 14.88}{7.605\times 10^{-3}}

or

Q = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s

Hence, the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s

Does the number of particles change as the substance changes its state?​
Leviafan [203]

Particles stay the same unless there is a chemical change whether the matter is solid, liquid or gas. ... When substances change state there is no change in mass so if 100 g of ice is melted 100g of water are formed this will boil to form 100g of steam (this is called "conservation of mass").

A solid circular shaft and a tubular shaft, both with the same outer radius of c=co = 0.550 in , are being considered for a part
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The power for circular shaft is 7.315 hp and tubular shaft is 6.667 hp

Explanation:

<u>Polar moment of Inertia</u>

(I_p)s = \frac{\pi(0.55)4}2

      = 0.14374 in 4

<u>Maximum sustainable torque on the solid circular shaft</u>

T_{max} = T_{allow} \frac{I_p}{r}

         =(14 \times 10^3) \times (\frac{0.14374}{0.55})

         = 3658.836 lb.in

         = \frac{3658.836}{12} lb.ft

        = 304.9 lb.ft

<u>Maximum sustainable torque on the tubular shaft</u>

T_{max} = T_{allow}( \frac{Ip}{r})

          = (14 \times10^3) \times ( \frac{0.13101}{0.55})

          = 3334.8 lb.in

          = (\frac{3334.8}{12} ) lb.ft

          = 277.9 lb.ft

<u>Maximum sustainable power in the solid circular shaft</u>

P_{max} = 2 \pi f_T

          = 2\pi(2.1) \times 304.9

          = 4023.061 lb. ft/s

          = (\frac{4023.061}{550}) hp

          = 7.315 hp

<u>Maximum sustainable power in the tubular shaft</u>

P _{max,t} = 2\pi f_T

            = 2\pi(2.1) \times 277.9

            = 3666.804 lb.ft /s

            = (\frac{3666.804}{550})hp

            = 6.667 hp

Which part of a wind-powered system ultimately produces the electricity? A. nacelle B. blade C. turbine D. generator
djverab [1.8K]
<span>The correct answer is: (D) Generator

Explanation:
In wind-powered systems, the wind energy turns the blades around the rotor of a wind turbine. That rotor is connected to a generator that generates electricity. In other words, the kinectic energy of the wind is converted into electrical energy by using the generator in the wind-powered systems.</span>

A person in the back of a pick-up moving at 20 m/s relative to the Earth, throws a baseball with a speed of 15 m/s in a directio
Bumek [7]

Answer:

This is known as a Galilean transformation where

V' = V - U

Where the primed frame is the Earth frame and the unprimed frame is the frame moving with respect to the moving frame

V - speed of object in the unprimed frame

U - speed of primed frame with respect to the unprimed frame

Here we have:

V = -15 m/s        speed of ball in the moving frame (the truck)

U =  -20 m/s        speed of primed (rest) frame with respect to moving frame

So  V' = -15 - (-20) = 5 m/s

It may help if you draw a vector representing the moving frame and then add

a vector representing the speed of the ball in the moving frame.
