Oil with a density of 850 kg/m3 and kinematic viscosity of 0.00062 m2/s is being discharged by an 8-mm-diameter, 42-m-long horiz

ontal pipe from a storage tank open to the atmosphere. The height of the liquid level above the center of the pipe is 4 m. Disregarding the minor losses, determine the flow rate of oil through the pipe. Solve this problem by making the assumption that since the velocity through the pipe is so small, the pressure at the pipe entrance is nearly the same as the hydrostatic pressure at that location.

Answer:

The flow rate of oil through the pipe is 1.513E-7 m³/s.

Explanation:

Given

Density, ρ = 850 kg/m³

Kinematic viscosity, v = 0.00062 m²/s

Diameter, d = 8-mm = 0.008m

Length of horizontal pipe, L = 42-m

Height, h = 4-m.

We'll solve the flow rate of oil through the pipe by using Hagen-Poiseuille equation.

This is given as

∆P = (128μLQ)/πD⁴

Where ∆P = Rate of change of pressure

μ = Dynamic Viscosity

Q = Flow rate of oil through the pipe.

First, we need to determine the dynamic viscosity and the rate of change in pressure

Dynamic Viscosity, μ = Density (ρ) * Kinematic viscosity (v)

μ = 850 kg/m³ * 0.00062 m²/s

μ = 0.527kg/ms

Then, we calculate the rate of change of pressure.

Assuming that the velocity through the pipe is so small;

∆P = Pressure at the bottom of the tank

∆P = Density (ρ) * Acceleration of gravity (g) * Height (h)

Taking g = 9.8m/s²

∆P = 850kg/m³ x 9.8m/s² x 4m

∆P = 33320N/m²

Recall that Hagen-Poiseuille equation.

∆P = (128μLQ)/πD⁴ --- Make Q the subject of formula

Q = (πD⁴P)/(128μL)

By substituton;

Q = (π * 0.008⁴ * 33320)/(128 * 0.527 * 42)

Q = 0.00000015133693643099

Q = 1.513E-7 m³/s.

Hence, the flow rate of oil through the pipe is 1.513E-7 m³/s.

Describe the algorithm you use for looking up a person’s telephone number in the phone book. The input is person’s name; the out

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The Algorithm for finding a number from a phone book with the person's name as the input and the phone number as output is as follows:

1. Try to remember the name, i.e last name first and first name last, Also make sure you get the spelling right.

2. Using the first letter of the last name, locate the appropriate alphabetical section in which the name should appear.

3. Using the second letter of the last name, find the subsection of first and second letters combined, in the appropriate order, in which the name should appear. (If the last name consists of only two letters, find the appropriate first name.)

4. Using the third letter, find the possible names in a subsection of the first three letters in the correct order. Continue this step with x+1 letters of the name until you have a subsection of names exactly matching the last name of the person whose number you are trying to locate. (x is the number of letters used in the previous step, consistently.) If there is only one of the last name, (check for duplicates) identify the number, and return phone number information.

5. Begin the second step using the first letter of the first name, but limit the section to only those exactly matching the last name. Continue to step 4, again focusing on the first name only within the set of exactly matching last names.

6. When both first and last name match the name you are locating, check for duplicates. IF there are no duplicates, return phone number information.

Explanation:

People's names are generally arranged in phone books in alphabetical order by the last name of the person. The first name of the person is listed after the last name so that people of the same last name can be differentiated.

An ideal reheat Rankine cycle with water as the working fluid operates the boiler at 15,000 kPa, the reheater at 2000 kPa, and t

solniwko [45]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

First find the enthalpies h₁, h₂, h₃, h₄, h₅, and h₆.

Find h₁:

Using Saturated Water Table and given pressure p₁ = 100 kPa

h₁ = 417.5 kJ/kg

Find h₂:

In order to find h₂, add the $w_{p}$ to h₁, where $w_{p}$ is the work done by pump and h₁ is the enthalpy computed above h₁ = 417.5 kJ/kg.

But first we need to compute $w_{p}$ To computer

Pressures:

p₁ = 100 kPa

p₂ = 15,000 kPa

and

Using saturated water pressure table, the volume of water $v_{f}$ = 1.0432

Dividing 1.0432/1000 gives us:

Volume of water = v₁ = 0.001043 m³/kg

Compute the value of h₂:

h₂ = h₁ + v₁ (p₂ - p₁)

= 417.5 kJ/kg + 0.001043 m³/kg ( 15,000 kPa - 100 kPa)

= 417.5 + 0.001043 (14900)

= 417.5 + 15.5407

= 433.04 kJ/kg

Find h₃

Using steam table:

At pressure p₃ = 15000 kPa

and Temperature = T₃ = 450°C

Then h₃ = 3159 kJ/kg

The entropy s₃ = 6.14 kJ/ kg K

Find h₄

Since entropy s₃ is equal to s₄ So

s₄ = 6.14 kJ/kgK

To compute h₄

s₄ = $s_{f}$ + $x_{4} s_{fg}$

$x_{4} = s_{4} -s_{f} /s_{fg}$

$x_{4}$ = 6.14 - 2.45 / 3.89

$x_{4}$ = 0.9497

The enthalpy h₄:

h₄ = $h_{f} +x_{4} h_{fg}$

= 908.4 + 0.9497(1889.8)

= 908.4 + 1794.7430

= 2703 kJ/kg

This can simply be computed using the software for steam tables online. Just use the entropy s₃ = 6.14 kJ/ kg K and pressure p₄ = 2000 kPa

Find h₅

Using steam table:

At pressure p₅ = 2000 kPa

and Temperature = T₅ = 450°C

Then h₅ = 3358 kJ/kg

Find h₆:

Since the entropy s₅ = 7.286 kJ/kgK is equal s₆ to So

s₆ = 7.286 kJ/kgK = 7.29 kJ/kgK

To compute h₆

s₆ = $s_{f}$ + $x_{6} s_{fg}$

$x_{6} = s_{6} -s_{f} /s_{fg}$

$x_{6}$ = 7.29 - 1.3028 / 6.0562

$x_{6}$ = 0.988

The enthalpy h₆:

h₆ = $h_{f} +x_{6} h_{fg}$

= 417.51 + 0.988 (2257.5)

= 417.51 + 2230.41

h₆ = 2648 kJ/kg

This can simply be computed using the software for steam tables online. Just use the entropy s₅ = 7.286 kJ/kgK and pressure p₅ = 2000 kPa

Compute power used by pump:

$P_{p}$ is found by using:

mass flow rate = m = 1.74 kg/s

Volume of water = v₁ = 0.001043 m³/kg

p₁ = 100 kPa

p₂ = 15,000 kPa

$P_{p}$ = ( m ) ( v₁ ) ( p₂ - p₁ )

= (1.74 kg/s) (0.001043 m³/kg) (15,000 kPa - 100 kPa)

= (1.74 kg/s) (0.001043 m³/kg) (14900)

= 27.04

$P_{p}$ = 27 kW

Compute heat added $q_{a}$ and heat rejected $q_{r}$ from boiler using computed enthalpies:

$q_{a}$ = ( h₃ - h₂ ) + ( h₅ - h₄ )

= ( 3159 kJ/kg - 433.04 kJ/kg ) + ( 3358 kJ/kg - 2703 kJ/kg )

= 2726 + 655

= 3381 kJ/kg

$q_{r}$ = h₆ - h₁

= 2648 kJ/kg - 417.5 kJ/kg

= 2232 kJ/kg

Compute net work

W $_{net}$ = $q_{a}$ - $q_{r}$

= 3381 kJ/kg - 2232 kJ/kg

= 1150 kJ/kg

Compute power produced by the cycle

mass flow rate = m = 1.74 kg/s

W $_{net}$ = 1150 kJ/kg

P = m * W $_{net}$

= 1.74 kg/s * 1150 kJ/kg

= 2001 kW

Compute rate of heat transfer in the reheater

Q = m * ( h₅ - h₄ )

= 1.74 kg/s * 655

= 1140 kW

Compute Thermal efficiency of this system

μ $_{t}$ = 1 - $q_{r}$ / $q_{a}$

= 1 - 2232 kJ/kg / 3381 kJ/kg

= 1 - 0.6601

= 0.34

= 34%
