Answer:

49.484 m³ / s

Explanation:

Volume flow rate = Power in W / (efficiency × density × height × acceleration due to gravity)

Volume flow rate = 100 × 10⁶ / ( 1 × 1000 kg/m³ × 206 m × 9.81 m/s²)

V = 49.484 m³ / s

Answer:

m' = 4948.38 kg/s

Explanation:

For a case of 100% efficiency, the power produced must be equal to the rate of potential energy conversion

GIVEN THAT

Power = 100 MW

rate of Potential energy = (m')*g*h

100*10^6 = (m')*9.81*206

m' = 4948.38 kg/s

What is the weight density of a 2.24 in diameter titanium sphere that weights 0.82 lb?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

0.14\ lb/in^{3}

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass ler unit volume, expressed as

\rho=\frac {m}{v}

Where m is mass, \rho is density and v is the volume. For a sphere, volume is given as

v=\frac {4\pi r^{3}}{3}

Replacing this into the formula of density then

\rho=\frac {m}{\frac {4\pi r^{3}}{3}}

Given diameter of 2.24 in then the radius is 1.12 in. Substituting 0.82 lb for m then

\rho=\frac {0.82}{\frac {4\pi 1.12^{3}}{3}}=0.13932044952427\approx 0.14 lb/in^{3}

Nata [24]

<u>Explanation</u>:

For series

\Delta V=V_{1}+V_{2}+\ldots+V_{n}=I R_{1}+I R_{2}+\ldots+I R_{n}(\text {voltages add to the batter } y)

\(I=I_{1}=I_{2}=I_{n}\) (current is the same)

V=I R(\text {voltage is directly proportional to } R)

R_{e q}=R_{1}+R_{2}+\ldots+R_{n} \quad \text { (resistance increase) }

For parallel

\Delta V=\Delta V_{1}=\Delta V_{2}=\Delta V_{n} \quad(\text { same voltage })

I=I_{1}+I_{2}+\ldots+I_{n}(\text {current adds})

\(I=\frac{\Delta V}{R_{e q}} \quad(R \text { inversal } y \text { proportional to } I)\)

\frac{1}{R_{e q}}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\ldots+\frac{1}{R_{n}}

How do you use the brakes in an airplane?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

When a pilot pushes the top of the right pedal, it activates the brakes on the right main wheel/wheels, and when the pilot pushes the top of the left rudder pedal, it activates the brake on the left main wheel/wheels. The brakes work in a rather simple way: they convert the kinetic energy of motion into heat energy.

An object of irregular shape has a characteristic length of � = 1.00 [�] and is maintained at a uniform surface temperature of �
Pani-rosa [81]

The correct question;

An object of irregular shape has a characteristic length of L = 1 m and is maintained at a uniform surface temperature of Ts = 400 K. When placed in atmospheric air at a temperature of Tinfinity = 300 K and moving with a velocity of V = 100 m/s, the average heat flux from the surface to the air is 20,000 W/m² If a second object of the same shape, but with a characteristic length of L = 5 m, is maintained at a surface temperature of Ts = 400 K and is placed in atmospheric air at Too = 300 K, what will the value of the average convection coefficient be if the air velocity is V = 20 m/s?

Answer:

h'_2 = 40 W/K.m²

Explanation:

We are given;

L1 = 1m

L2 = 5m

T_s = 400 K

T_(∞) = 300 K

V = 100 m/s

q = 20,000 W/m²

Both objects have the same shape and density and thus their reynolds number will be the same.

So,

Re_L1 = Re_L2

Thus, V1•L1/v1 = V2•L2/v2

Hence,

(h'_1•L1)/k1 = (h'_2•L2)/k2

Where h'_1 and h'_2 are convection coefficients

Since k1 = k2, thus, we now have;

h'_2 = (h'_1(L1/L2)) = [q/(T_s - T_(∞))]• (L1/L2)

Thus,

h'_2 = [20,000/(400 - 300)]•(1/5)

h'_2 = 40 W/K.m²
