Air expands through an ideal turbine from 1 MPa, 900 K to 0.1 MPa, 500K. The inlet velocity is small compared to the exit veloci

ty of 100 m/s. The turbine operates at steady state and develops a power output of 3,200 kW. Heat transfer between the turbine and its surroundings and any potential energy effects are negligible.
a. Calculate the mass flow rate of air, in kg/s, and the exit area, in m^2.

A hydraulic jump is induced in an 80 ft wide channel.The water depths on either side of the jump are 1 ft and 10 ft.Please calcu
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

a) 42.08 ft/sec

b) 3366.33 ft³/sec

c) 0.235

d) 18.225 ft

e) 3.80 ft

Explanation:

Given:

b = 80ft

y1 = 1 ft

y2 = 10ft

a) Let's take the formula:

\frac{y2}{y1} = \frac{1}{5} * \sqrt{1 + 8f^2 - 1}

10*2 = \sqrt{1 + 8f^2 - 1

1 + 8f² = (20+1)²

= 8f² = 440

f² = 55

f = 7.416

For velocity of the faster moving flow, we have :

\frac{V_1}{\sqrt{g*y_1}} = 7.416

V_1 = 7.416 *\sqrt{32.2*1}

V1 = 42.08 ft/sec

b) the flow rate will be calculated as

Q = VA

VA = V1 * b *y1

= 42.08 * 80 * 1

= 3366.66 ft³/sec

c) The Froude number of the sub-critical flow.

V2.A2 = 3366.66

Where A2 = 80ft * 10ft

Solving for V2, we have:

V_2 = \frac{3666.66}{80*10}

= 4.208 ft/sec

Froude number, F2 =

\frac{V_2}{g*y_2} = \frac{4.208}{32.2*10}

F2 = 0.235

d) El = \frac{(y_2 - y_1)^3}{4*y_1*y_2}

El = \frac{(10-1)^3}{4*1*10}

= \frac{9^3}{40}

= 18.225ft

e) for critical depth, we use :

y_c = [\frac{(\frac{3366.66}{80})^2}{32.2}]^1^/^3

= 3.80 ft

A cylindrical tank is required to contain a gage pressure 560 kPa . The tank is to be made of A516 grade 60 steel with a maximum
adoni [48]

Answer:

5.6 mm

Explanation:

Given that:

A cylindrical tank is required to contain a:

Gage Pressure P = 560 kPa

Allowable normal stress \sigma = 150 MPa = 150000 Kpa.

The inner diameter of the tank = 3 m

In a closed cylinder  there exist both the circumferential stress and the longitudinal stress.

Circumferential stress \sigma = \dfrac{pd}{2t}

Making thickness t the subject; we have

t = \dfrac{pd}{2* \sigma}

t = \dfrac{560000*3}{2*150000000}

t = 0.0056 m

t = 5.6 mm

For longitudinal stress.

\sigma = \dfrac{pd}{4t}

t= \dfrac{pd}{4*\sigma }

t = \dfrac{560000*3}{4*150000000}

t = 0.0028  mm

t = 2.8 mm

From the above circumferential stress and longitudinal stress; the stress with the higher value will be considered ; which is circumferential stress and it's minimum value  with the maximum thickness = 5.6 mm

Problem 1: A catchment has the following Horton’s infiltration parameters: f0=280 mm/hr, fc=25 mm/hr and k = 2.5 hr-1 . For the
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Ponding will occur in 40mins

Explanation:

We say that the infiltration rate is the velocity or speed at which water enters into the soil. This often times is measured by the depth (in mm) of the water layer that can enter the soil in one hour. An infiltration rate of 15 mm/hour means that a water layer of 15 mm on the soil surface, will take one hour to infiltrate.

Consider checking attachment for the step by step solution.

A fluid of density 900 kg/m3 passes through a converging section of an upstream diameter of 50 mm and a downstream diameter of 2
NISA [10]

Answer:

Q= 4.6 × 10⁻³ m³/s

actual velocity will be equal to 8.39 m/s

Explanation:

density of fluid = 900 kg/m³

d₁ = 0.025 m

d₂ = 0.05 m

Δ P = -40 k N/m²

C v = 0.89

using energy equation

\dfrac{P_1}{\gamma}+\dfrac{v_1^2}{2g} = \dfrac{P_2}{\gamma}+\dfrac{v_2^2}{2g}\\\dfrac{P_1-P_2}{\gamma}=\dfrac{v_2^2-v_1^2}{2g}\\\dfrac{-40\times 10^3\times 2}{900}=v_2^2-v_1^2

under ideal condition v₁² = 0

v₂² = 88.88

v₂ = 9.43 m/s

hence discharge at downstream will be

Q = Av

Q = \dfrac{\pi}{4}d_1^2 \times v

Q = \dfrac{\pi}{4}0.025^2 \times 9.43

Q= 4.6 × 10⁻³ m³/s

we know that

C_v =\dfrac{actual\ velocity}{theoretical\ velocity }\\0.89 =\dfrac{actual\ velocity}{9.43}\\actual\ velocity = 8.39m/s

hence , actual velocity will be equal to 8.39 m/s

A plate clutch has a single friction surface 9-in OD by 7-in ID. The coefficient of friction is 0.2 and the maximum pressure is
Talja [164]

Answer:

the torque capacity is  30316.369 lb-in

Explanation:

Given data

OD = 9 in

ID = 7 in

coefficient of friction = 0.2

maximum pressure = 1.5 in-kip = 1500 lb

To find out

the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure assumption.

Solution

We know the the torque formula for uniform pressure theory is

torque = 2/3 × \pi × coefficient of friction × maximum pressure ( R³ - r³ )    .....................................1

here R = OD/2 = 4.5 in and r = ID/2 = 3.5 in

now put all these value R, r, coefficient of friction and  maximum pressure in equation 1 and we will get here torque

torque = 2/3 × \pi × 0.2 × 1500 ( 4.5³ - 3.5³ )

so the torque =  30316.369 lb-in
