3–102 One of the common procedures in fitness programs is to determine the fat-to-muscle ratio of the body. This is based on the

principle that the muscle tissue is denser than the fat tissue, and, thus, the higher the average density of the body, the higher is the fraction of muscle tissue. The average density of the body can be determined by weighing the person in air and also while submerged in water in a tank. Treating all tissues and bones (other than fat) as muscle with an equivalent density of ???? muscle. Obtain a relation for the volume fraction of body fat xfat

Answer:

x_fat = [ 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) - p_muscle*V ] / V*( p_fat - p_muscle )

Explanation:

Given:

- The total volume of body = V

- The average density of the body = p_avg

- The density of muscle = p_muscle

- The density of fat = p_fat

Find:

Obtain a relation for the volume fraction of body fat x_fat

Solution:

- The volume of the fat is given by:

V_fat = x_fat*V

- The volume of the muscle is given by:

V_muscle = V - V_fat

= V - x_fat*V

=V*( 1 - x_fat )

- We will use the conservation of mass for the body related as:

mass_fat + mass_muscle = Total average mass

p_fat*V_fat + p_muscle*V_muscle = p_avg*V

p_fat*x_fat*V + p_muscle*V*( 1 - x_fat ) = p_avg*V

p_fat*x_fat + p_muscle*( 1 - x_fat ) = p_avg

- To determine p_1 we weigh the body in air:

Weight reading (Wsa) = m = p_1*V

p_1 = Wsa / V*g

- To determine p_2 we weigh the body in water:

Weight reading (Wsw) = m - p_w*V= p_1*V - p_w*V

Weight reading (Wsw) = V*(p_1 - p_w) = V*(p_2)

Where, p_2 = p_1 - p_water

p_2 = Wsw / V

- The average density p_avg:

p_avg = 0.5*(p_1 + p_2)

p_avg = 0.5*(Wsa / V + Wsw / V)

p_avg = 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) / V

- Plug in the mass equation:

p_fat*x_fat + p_muscle*( 1 - x_fat ) = 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) / V

x_fat*( p_fat - p_muscle ) = 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) / V - p_muscle

x_fat = [ 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) - p_muscle*V ] / V*( p_fat - p_muscle )

Inessa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Flame Front Generator: It is a ignition system which is very useful in flaring system .In this system the air and gases are mixed together and make a combustible air gas mixture. There is a flame front region where the combustion reaction takes place , it is the region where gases as like hydrogen and air mixed with each other and form combustible gases.

Methane gas is 304 C with 4.5 tons of mass flow per hour to an uninsulated horizontal pipe with a diameter of 25 cm. It enters a

Arada [10]

Answer:

a) $h_c = 0.1599 W/m^2-K$

b) $H_{loss} = 5.02 W$

c) $T_s = 302 K$

d) $\dot{Q} = 25.125 W$

Explanation:

Non horizontal pipe diameter, d = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Radius, r = 0.25/2 = 0.125 m

Entry temperature, T₁ = 304 + 273 = 577 K

Exit temperature, T₂ = 284 + 273 = 557 K

Ambient temperature, $T_a = 25^0 C = 298 K$

Pipe length, L = 10 m

Area, A = 2πrL

A = 2π * 0.125 * 10

A = 7.855 m²

Mass flow rate,

$\dot{ m} = 4.5 tons/hr\\\dot{m} = \frac{4.5*1000}{3600} = 1.25 kg/sec$

Rate of heat transfer,

$\dot{Q} = \dot{m} c_p ( T_1 - T_2)\\\dot{Q} = 1.25 * 1.005 * (577 - 557)\\\dot{Q} = 25.125 W$

a) To calculate the convection coefficient relationship for heat transfer by convection:

$\dot{Q} = h_c A (T_1 - T_2)\\25.125 = h_c * 7.855 * (577 - 557)\\h_c = 0.1599 W/m^2 - K$

Note that we cannot calculate the heat loss by the pipe to the environment without first calculating the surface temperature of the pipe.

c) The surface temperature of the pipe:

Smear coefficient of the pipe, $k_c = 0.8$

$\dot{Q} = k_c A (T_s - T_a)\\25.125 = 0.8 * 7.855 * (T_s - 298)\\T_s = 302 K$

b) Heat loss from the pipe to the environment:

$H_{loss} = h_c A(T_s - T_a)\\H_{loss} = 0.1599 * 7.855( 302 - 298)\\H_{loss} = 5.02 W$

d) The required fan control power is 25.125 W as calculated earlier above

Block A hangs by a cord from spring balance D and is submerged in a liquid C contained in beaker B. The mass of the beaker is 1.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a) $m_e= 3.05 Kg$

b) $\rho=1072.3kg/m^3$

c) $m_e= 3.05 Kg$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Beaker Mass $m_b=1.20$

Liquid Mass $m_l=1.85$

Balance D:

Mass $m_d=3.10$

Balance E:

Mass $m_e=7.50$

Volume $v=4.15*10^{-3}m^3$

a)

Generally the equation for Liquid's density is mathematically given by

$m_e=m_b+m_l+(\rho*v)$

$\rho=\frac{7.50-(1.2+1.85)}{4.15*10^{-3}}$

$\rho=1072.3kg/m^3$

b)

Generally the equation for D's Reading at A pulled is mathematically given by

m_d = mass of block - mass of liquid displaced

$m_d=m- (\rho *v )$

$m=3.10+ (1072.30 *4.15*10^{-3}m^3 )$

$m=18.10kg$

c)

Generally the equation for E's Reading at A pulled is mathematically given by

$m_e=m_b+m_l$

$m_e = 1.20 + 1.85$

$m_e= 3.05 Kg$
