Water flows at a rate of 0.040 m3 /s in a horizontal pipe whose diameter is reduced from 15 cm to 8 cm by a reducer. If the pres

Answer:

hL = 0.9627 m

Explanation:

Given

Q = 0.040 m³/s (constant value)

D₁ = 15 cm = 0.15 m  ⇒  R₁ = D₁/2 = 0.15 m/2 = 0.075 m

D₂ = 8 cm = 0.08 m  ⇒  R₂ = D₂/2 = 0.08 m/2 = 0.04 m

P₁ = 480 kPa = 480*10³Pa

P₂ = 440 kPa = 440*10³Pa

α = 1.05

ρ = 1000 Kg/m³

g = 9.81 m/s²

h₁ = h₂

hL = ?  (the irreversible head loss in the reducer)

Using the formula Q = v*A   ⇒  v = Q/A

we can find the velocities v₁ and v₂ as follows

v₁ = Q/A₁ = Q/(π*R₁²) = (0.040 m³/s)/(π*(0.075 m)²) = 2.2635 m/s

v₂ = Q/A₂ = Q/(π*R₂²) = (0.040 m³/s)/(π*(0.04 m)²) = 7.9577 m/s

Then we apply the Bernoulli law (for an incompressible flow)

(P₂/(ρ*g)) + (α*v₂²/(2*g)) + h₂ = (P₁/(ρ*g)) + (α*v₁²/(2*g)) + h₁ - hL

Since h₁ = h₂ we obtain

(P₂/(ρ*g)) + (α*v₂²/(2*g)) = (P₁/(ρ*g)) + (α*v₁²/(2*g)) - hL

⇒  hL = ((P₁-P₂)/(ρ*g)) + (α/(2*g))*(v₁²-v₂²)

⇒  hL = ((480*10³Pa-440*10³Pa)/(1000 Kg/m³*9.81 m/s²)) + (1.05/(2*9.81 m/s²))*((2.2635 m/s)²-(7.9577 m/s)²)

⇒  hL = 0.9627 m

A container filled with a sample of an ideal gas at the pressure of 150 Kpa. The gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of
lyudmila [28]

Answer: c) 450 kPa

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

P_1V_1=P_2V_2  

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas  = 150 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas  = ?

V_1 = initial volume of gas   = v L

V_2 = final volume of gas  = \frac{v}{3}L

150\times v=P_2\times \frac{v}{3}  

P_2=450kPa

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas will be 450 kPa.

Stream Piracy – Kaaterskill, NY. Check and double-click the Problem 15 folder. The dark blue and orange streams highlight the pr
baherus [9]

Answer:

b. The pirating streams are eroding headwardly to intersect more of the other streams’ drainage basins, causing water to be diverted down their steeper gradients.

Explanation:

From the Kaaterskill NY 15 minute map (1906), this shows two classic examples of stream capture.

The Kaaterskill Creek flow down the east relatively steep slopes into the Hudson River Valley. While, the Gooseberry Creek is a low gradient stream flowing down the west direction which in turn drains the higher parts of the Catskills in this area.

However, there is Headward erosion of Kaaterskill Creek which resulted to the capture of part of the headwaters of Gooseberry Creek.

The evidence for this is the presence of "barbed" (enters at obtuse rather than acute angle) tributary which enters Kaaterskill Creek from South Lake which was once a part of the Gooseberry Creek drainage system.

It should be noted again, that there is drainage divide between the Gooseberry and Kaaterskill drainage systems (just to the left of the word Twilight) which is located in the center of the valley.

As it progresses, this divide will then move westward as Kaaterskill captures more and more of the Gooseberry system.

# Read ingthe ticker data for all the tickers

for ticker in tickers:

# Read data for one ticker using pandas.read_csv  

# We assume no column names in csv file

date = ticker_data.iloc[i]['date']

price = ticker_data.iloc[i]['price']

price_dict[ticker][date] = price
