Answer:

A) Sump pit

Explanation:

A wastewater typically refers to a body of water that has contaminated through human use in homes, offices, schools, businesses etc. Wastewater are meant to be disposed in accordance with the local regulations and standards because they are unhygienic for human consumption or use.

Generally, many homes use a floor drain in their bathrooms and toilets to remove wastewater in order to mitigate stagnation and to improve hygiene. A floor drain can be defined as a material installed on floors for the continuous removal of any stagnant wastewater in buildings. Wastewater flows into a sump pit once it is released into a floor drain through the use of a pipe such as a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, which directly connects the floor drain to the sump pit. The wastewater can the be removed from the sump pit when it is filled up through the use of a pump.

A 400-m^3 storage tank is being constructed to hold LNG, liquefied natural gas, which may be assumed to be essentially pure meth

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

mass of LNG: 129501.3388 kg

quality: 0.005048662

Explanation:

Volume occupied by liquid:

400 m^3*0.9 = 360 m^3

Volume occupied by vapor

400 m^3*0.1 = 40 m^3

A figured with thermodynamic properties of saturated methane is attached. Notice that a liquid-gas mixture is present

For liquid phase specific volume (vf) at 150 K is 0.002794 m^3/kg and for vapor phase specific volume (vg) is 0.06118 m^3/kg

From specific volume definition:

vf = liquid volume/liquid mass

liquid mass = liquid volume/vf

liquid mass = 360 m^3/0.002794 m^3/kg

liquid mass = 128847.5304 kg

vg = vapor volume/vapor mass

vapor mass = liquid volume/vg

vapor mass = 40 m^3/0.06118 m^3/kg

vapor mass = 653.8084341 kg

total mass = 128847.5304 kg + 653.8084341 kg = 129501.3388 kg

Quality is defined as the ratio between vapor mass and total mass

quality = 653.8084341 kg/129501.3388 kg = 0.005048662

The correct statement about the lift and drag on an object is:_______

Lisa [10]

Answer:

(a). the resultant force in the direction of the freestream velocity is termed the drag and the resultant force normal to the freestream velocity is termed the lift

Explanation:

When a fluid flows around the surface of an object, it exerts a force on it. This force has two components, namely lift and drag.

The component of this force that is perpendicular (normal) to the freestream velocity is known as lift, while the component of this force that is parallel or in the direction of the fluid freestream flow is known as drag.

Lift is as a result of pressure differences, while drag results from forces due to pressure distributions over the object surface, and forces due to skin friction or viscous force.

Thus, drag results from the combination of pressure and viscous forces while lift results only from the<em> pressure differences</em> (not pressure forces as was used in option D).

The only correct option left is "A"

(a). the resultant force in the direction of the freestream velocity is termed the drag and the resultant force normal to the freestream velocity is termed the lift

What is a shearing stress? Is there a force resulting from two solids in contact to which is it similar?

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Shearing stresses are the stresses generated in any material when a force acts in such a way that it tends to tear off the material.

Generally the above definition is valid at an armature level, in more technical terms shearing stresses are the component of the stresses that act parallel to any plane in a material that is under stress. Shearing stresses are present in a body even if normal forces act on it along the centroidal axis.

Mathematically in a plane AB the shearing stresses are given by

$\tau =\frac{Fcos(\theta )}{A}$

Yes the shearing force which generates the shearing stresses is similar to frictional force that acts between the 2 surfaces in contact with each other.
