The size of Carvins Cove water reservoir is 3.2 billion gallons. Approximately, 11 cfs of water is continuous withdrawn from thi

s reservoir to support residents of Roanoke County. This reservoir is filled with water from the Roanoke River. During a severe drought, inflow into this reservoir can drop to 0.5 cfs. If the drought persists, how long (days) until this reservoir dry-up? (

Answer:

471 days

Explanation:

Capacity of Carvins Cove water reservoir = 3.2 billion gallons i.e. 3.2 x 10˄9 gallons

As,  

1 gallon = 0.133 cubic feet (cf)

Therefore,  

Capacity of Carvins Cove water reservoir in cf  = 3.2 x 10˄9 x 0.133

                                                                         = 4.28 x 10˄8

 

Applying Mass balance i.e

Accumulation = Mass In - Mass out   (Eq. 01)

Here  

Mass In = 0.5 cfs

Mass out = 11 cfs

Putting values in (Eq. 01)

Accumulation  = 0.5 - 11

                         = - 10.5 cfs

 

Negative accumulation shows that reservoir is depleting i.e. at a rate of 10.5 cubic feet per second.

Converting depletion of reservoir in cubic feet per hour = 10.5 x 3600

                                                                                       = 37,800

 

Converting depletion of reservoir in cubic feet per day = 37, 800 x 24

                                                                                         = 907,200  

 

i.e. 907,200 cubic feet volume is being depleted in days = 1 day

1 cubic feet volume is being depleted in days = 1/907,200 day

4.28 x 10˄8 cubic feet volume will deplete in days  = (4.28 x 10˄8) x                    1/907,200

                                                                                 = 471 Days.

 

Hence in case of continuous drought reservoir will last for 471 days before dry-up.

What might cause a shotgun to explode?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

When you pull the trigger to shoot a shotshell from a shotgun or a cartridge from a rifle or handgun, the firing pin strikes the primer in the base of the cartridge or shotshell. This causes the primer to explode. The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder, which burns rapidly and converts to a gas.

compressors, the gas is often cooled while being compressed to reduce the power consumed by the compressor. explain how cooling
ASHA 777 [7]

The amount of work done by steady flow devices varies with the particular gas volume. The kinetic energy of gas particles decreases during cooling.

When the gas is subjected to intermediate cooling during compression, the gas specific volume is reduced, which lowers the compressor's power consumption. Compression is less adiabatic and more isothermal because the compressed gas must be cooled between stages since compression produces heat. The system's thermodynamic cycle's cold sink temperature is lowered by cooling the compressor coils. By increasing the temperature difference between the heat source and the cold sink, this improves efficiency.
