In a hydroelectric power plant, water enters the turbine nozzles at 780 kPa absolute with a low velocity. If the nozzle outlets

are exposed to atmospheric pressure of 100 kPa, determine the maximum velocity to which water can be accelerated by the nozzles before striking the turbine blades.

Answer:

the maximum velocity is approximately 36.878 m/s

Explanation:

We can apply a balance of mechanical energy.

P1 + ρgy1 + 1/2ρv1² = P2 + ρgy1 + 1/2ρv2² + Fr

where P=pressure , ρgy = hydrostatic pressure , 1/2ρv² = dynamic pressure , Fr= friction

we can neglect the variations of height in the nozzle and depreciate the low velocity term, therefore

P1 - P2 - Fr= 1/2ρv2²

the maximum velocity is found in case of no friction , then

P1 - P2 = 1/2 ρ vmax²

therefore

vmax =√2(P1-P2)/ ρ

assuming the density of water as ρ= 1000 kg/m³

vmax =√2(P1-P2)/ ρ = √(2*(780000 Pa - 100000 Pa)/1000 Kg/m³ ) = 36.878 m/s

scrapers are used to haul dirt from a borrow pit to the cap of a landfill. the estimated cycle time for the scrapers is 9.5 minu

ladessa [460]

Answer is: 12.8 because when you multiply it by the 2nd power of 8 then the scraper equals to be 12.8 in height and that’s how much each scraper requires to operate :)

The wall of drying oven is constructed by sandwiching insulation material of thermal conductivity k = 0.05 W/m°K between thin me

masha68 [24]

Answer:

86 mm

Explanation:

From the attached thermal circuit diagram, equation for i-nodes will be

$\frac {T_ \infty, i-T_{i}}{ R^{"}_{cv, i}} + \frac {T_{o}-T_{i}}{ R^{"}_{cd}} + q_{rad} = 0$ Equation 1

Similarly, the equation for outer node “o” will be

$\frac {T_{ i}-T_{o}}{ R^{"}_{cd}} + \frac {T_{\infty, o} -T_{o}}{ R^{"}_{cv, o}} = 0$ Equation 2

The conventive thermal resistance in i-node will be

$R^{"}_{cv, i}= \frac {1}{h_{i}}= \frac {1}{30}= 0.033 m^{2}K/w$ Equation 3

The conventive hermal resistance per unit area is

$R^{"}_{cv, o}= \frac {1}{h_{o}}= \frac {1}{10}= 0.100 m^{2}K/w$ Equation 4

The conductive thermal resistance per unit area is

$R^{"}_{cd}= \frac {L}{K}= \frac {L}{0.05} m^{2}K/w$ Equation 5

Since $q_{rad}$ is given as 100, $T_{o}$ is 40 $T_ \infty$ is 300 $T_{\infty, o}$ is 25

Substituting the values in equations 3,4 and 5 into equations 1 and 2 we obtain

$\frac {300-T_{i}}{0.033} +\frac {40-T_{i}}{L/0.05} +100=0$ Equation 6

$\frac {T_{ i}-40}{L/0.05}+ \frac {25-40}{0.100}=0$

$T_{i}-40= \frac {L}{0.05}*150$

$T_{i}-40=3000L$

$T_{i}=3000L+40$ Equation 7

From equation 6 we can substitute wherever there’s $T_{i}$ with 3000L+40 as seen in equation 7 hence we obtain

$\frac {300- (3000L+40)}{0.033} + \frac {40- (3000L+40)}{L/0.05}+100=0$

The above can be simplified to be

$\frac {260-3000L}{0.033}+ \frac {(-3000L)}{L/0.05}+100=0$

$\frac {260-3000L}{0.033}=50$

-3000L=1.665-260

$L= \frac {-258.33}{-3000}=0.086*10^{-3}m= 86mm$

Therefore, insulation thickness is 86mm

A 1 m wide continuous footing is designed to support an axial column load of 250 kN per meter of wall length. The footing is pla

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

correct option is (A) 0.5

Explanation:

given data

axial column load = 250 kN per meter

footing placed = 0.5 m

cohesion = 25 kPa

internal friction angle = 5°

solution

we know angle of internal friction is 5° that is near to 0°

so it means the soil is almost cohesive soil.

and for a pure cohesive soil

$N_{\gamma }$ = 0

and we know formula for $N_{\gamma }$ is

$N_{\gamma }$ = (Nq - 1 ) × tan(Ф) ..................1

so here Ф is very less $N_{\gamma }$ should be nearest to zero

and its value can be 0.5

so correct option is (A) 0.5

WHAT IS MEANT BY BJT AND FUNCTION OF BJT

Andrej [43]

Answer:

A Bipolar Junction Transistor, or BJT, is a solid-state device in which the current flow between two terminals (the collector and the emitter) is controlled by the amount of current that flows through a third terminal (the base).

The main basic function of a BJT is to amplify current it will allow BJTs are used as amplifiers or switches to produce wide applicability in electronic equipment include mobile phones, industrial control, television, and radio transmitters. There are two different types of BJTs are available, they are NPN and PNP.
