Water flows in a pipeline. At a point in the line where the diameter is 7 in., the velocity is 12 fps and the pressure is 50 psi

. At a point 40 ft away, the diameter reduces to 3 in. Calculate the pressure here when the pipe is (a) horizontal, (b) vertical with flow downward, and (c) vertical with the flow upward. Explain why there is a difference in the pressure for the different situations.

Answer:

a)   P₂ = 3219.11 lbf / ft² , b)    P₂ = 721.91 lbf / ft² , c)  P₂ = 5707.31 lbf / ft²

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the fluid mechanics equations, let's start with the continuity equation, index 1 is for the starting point and index 2 for the end point of the reduction

     A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

     v₂ = v₁ A₁ / A₂

The area of ​​a circle is

    A = π r² = π/4  d²

     v₂ = v₁ (d₁ / d₂)²

Let's calculate

    v₂ = 12 (7/3)²

    v₂ = 65 feet / s

Now let's use Bernoulli's equation

     P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

     P₁ - P₂ = ρ g (y₂ –y₁) + ½ ρ (v₂² - v₁²)

Case 1. The pipe is horizontal, so

      y₁ = y₂

      P₁ - P₂ = ½ ρ  (v₂² –v₁²)

      P₂ = P₁ - ½ ρ (v₂² –v₁²)

     ρ = 62.43 lbf / ft³

     P₁ = 50 psi (144 lbf/ ft² / psi) = 7200 lbf / ft²

    P₂ = 7200 - ½ 62.43 / 32 (65² -12²)

    P₂ = 7200 - 3980.89

    P₂ = 3219.11 lbf / ft²

Case 2 vertical pipe with water flow up

        y₂ –y₁ = 40 ft

        P₁ - P₂ = ρ g (y₂ –y₁) + ½ rho (v₂² - v₁²)

        7200 - P₂ = 62.43 (40) + ½ 62.43 / 32 (65 2 - 12 2) =

        P₂ = 7200 - 2497.2 - 3980.89

         P₂ = 721.91 lbf / ft²

Case 3. Vertical water pipe flows down

         y₂ –y₁ = -40

         P₂ = 7200 + 2497.2 - 3980.89

         P₂ = 5707.31 lbf / ft²

You are in charge of ordering the concrete for a basement wall concrete pour. The wall forms are all set up and ready. The wall
choli [55]

Answer:

189.15cy

Explanation:

To understand this problem we need to understand as well the form.

It is clear that there is four wall, two short and two long.

The two long are \rightarrow 120ft5in+2(10ft)

The two long are \rightarrow 122ft1in=122.08ft

The two shors are \rightarrow 86ft4.5in = 86.375ft

The height and the thickness are 14ft and 0.83ft respectively.

So we only calculate the Quantity of concrete,

Q_c = [(2*122.08)+(2*86-375)]*14*0.833\\Q_c=4864.02ft^3

That in cubic yards is equal to 180.15 (1cy=27ft^3)

Hence, we need order 5% plus that represent with the quantity

Q_{ordered}=1.05*180.15=189.15cy

What fuel do rockets use
natta225 [31]

Liquid Hydrogen is the fuel used by rockets.

Explanation:

  • Liquid hydrogen which can be chemically denoted as "LH_{2}" is often considered as the significant fuels for rocket.
  • However rocket in its lower stages uses fuels such as Kerosene and oxygen where as in the higher stages such as second and third stages it uses liquid hydrogen.
  • Liquid hydrogen is known to easily cool the nozzle and then also other parts of the rocket before mixing with the oxidizer such as the oxygen.
  • Thus liquid hydrogen helps in preventing nozzle erosion and also reduces combustion chamber.
  • Liquid hydrogen one the other hand is very expensive as 384,071 gallons of it will cost approximately $376,389.58 .

Thus liquid hydrogen is effectively used as a fuel for rocket.

natulia [17]

Answer:

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s

Explanation:

given data

area = 3 ft by 3 ft

air density = 0.075 lbm/ft³

to find out

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor

solution

we know that energy balance equation that is express as

E in - E out  = \frac{dE \ system}{dt}    ......................1

and at steady state  \frac{dE \ system}{dt} = 0

so we can say from equation 1

E in = E out

so

minimum power required is

E in = W = m \frac{V^2}{2} = \rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}  

put here value

E in =  \rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}  

E in =  0.075 *3*3* 22 \frac{22^2}{2}  

E in = 0.1437 Btu/s

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s

A horse pulls a cart along a road with a force of 550 lbs. If the horse does 2,674,100 ftlbs of work by the time it stops, how f
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

When a horse pull a cart the action is on?

A horse is harnessed to a cart. If the horse tries to pull the cart, the horse must exert a force on the cart. By Newton's third law the cart must then exert an equal and opposite force on the horse. Newton's second law tells us that acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the mass of the system.
