An aquifer has three different formations. Formation A has a thickness of 8.0 m and hydraulic conductivity of 25.0 m/d. Formatio

n B has a thickness of 2.0 m and a conductivity of 142 m/d. Formation C has a thickness of 34 m and a conductivity of 40 m/d. Assume that each formation is isotropic and homogeneous. Compute both the overall horizontal and vertical conductivities.

Answer:

The horizontal conductivity is 41.9 m/d.

The vertical conductivity is 37.2 m/d.

Explanation:

Given that,

Thickness of A = 8.0 m

Conductivity = 25.0 m/d

Thickness of B = 2.0 m

Conductivity = 142 m/d

Thickness of C = 34 m

Conductivity = 40 m/d

We need to calculate the horizontal conductivity

Using formula of horizontal conductivity

$K_{H}=\dfrac{H_{A}K_{A}+H_{A}K_{A}+H_{A}K_{A}}{H_{A}+H_{B}+H_{C}}$

Put the value into the formula

$K_{H}=\dfrac{8.0\times25+2,0\times142+34\times40}{8.0+2.0+34}$

$K_{H}=41.9\ m/d$

We need to calculate the vertical conductivity

Using formula of vertical conductivity

$K_{V}=\dfrac{H_{A}+H_{B}+H_{C}}{\dfrac{H_{A}}{K_{A}}+\dfrac{H_{B}}{K_{B}}+\dfrac{H_{C}}{K_{C}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$K_{V}=\dfrac{8.0+2.0+34}{\dfrac{8.0}{25}+\dfrac{2.0}{142}+\dfrac{34}{40}}$

$K_{V}=37.2\ m/d$

Hence, The horizontal conductivity is 41.9 m/d.

The vertical conductivity is 37.2 m/d.

A woodcutter wishes to cause the tree trunk to fall uphill, even though the trunk is leaning downhill. With the aid of the winch

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be "400.4 N". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass of truck,

m = 600 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

On equating torques at the point O,

⇒ $T\times Cos(10+5)\times (1.3+4)=mg\times Sin(5)\times 4$

So that,

On putting the values, we get

⇒ $T\times Cos(15^{\circ})\times 5.3=600\times 9.8\times Sin(5^{\circ})\times 4$

⇒ $T=400.4 \ N$

A turbojet aircraft flies with a velocity of 800 ft/s at an altitude where the air is at 10 psia and 20 F. The compressor has a

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Pressure = 115.6 psia

Explanation:

Given:

v=800ft/s

Air temperature = 10 psia

Air pressure = 20F

Compression pressure ratio = 8

temperature at turbine inlet = 2200F

Conversion:

1 Btu =775.5 ft lbf, $g_{c}$ = 32.2 lbm.ft/lbf.s², 1Btu/lbm=25037ft²/s²

Air standard assumptions:

$c_{p}$ = 0.0240Btu/lbm.°R, R = 53.34ft.lbf/lbm.°R = 1717.5ft²/s².°R 0.0686Btu/lbm.°R

k= 1.4

Energy balance:

$h_{1} + \frac{v_{1} ^{2} }{2} = h_{a} + \frac{v_{a} ^{2} }{2}\\$

As enthalpy exerts more influence than the kinetic energy inside the engine, kinetic energy of the fluid inside the engine is negligible

hence $v_{a} ^{2} = 0$

$h_{1} + \frac{v_{1} ^{2} }{2} = h_{a} \\h_{1} -h_{a} = - \frac{v_{1} ^{2} }{2} \\ c_{p} (T_{1} -T_{a})= - \frac{v_{1} ^{2} }{2} \\(T_{1} -T_{a}) = - \frac{v_{1} ^{2} }{2c_{p} }\\ T_{a}=T_{1} + \frac{v_{1} ^{2} }{2c_{p} }$

$T_{1}$ = 20+460 = 480°R

$T_{a} =480+ \frac{(800)(800}{2(0.240)(25037}$ = 533.25°R

Pressure at the inlet of compressor at isentropic condition

$P_{a } =P_{1}(\frac{T_{a} }{T_{1} }) ^{k/(k-1)}$

$P_{a}$ = $(10)(\frac{533.25}{480}) ^{1.4/(1.4-1)}$ = 14.45 psia

$P_{2}= 8P_{a} = 8(14.45) = 115.6 psia$

Independent auto lots usually have ____ finance rates than dealerships

wel

Independent auto lots usually have <u>higher</u> finance rates than dealerships

<u>Explanation:</u>

The finance rates that are charged by the dealers are lower than the finance charges that are charged by the independent auto. In case if you are getting financed through dealerships, you can also negotiate with them to charge finance rates and lower the charges of the finance.

But this negotiation and lowering of the finance rates is not possible with the independent auto lots and thus they charge higher rates compared to the dealerships.
