Steam is leaving a pressure cooker whose operating pressure is 20 psia. It is observed that the amount of liquid in the cooker h

as decreased by 0.6 gal in 45 minutes after the steady operating conditions are established, and the cross-sectional area of the exit opening is 0.15 in2. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the steam and the exit velocity, (b) the total and flow energies of the steam per unit mass, and (c) the rate at which energy is leaving the cooker by steam.

Answer:

a) 34.05ft/s

b).1156.2BTU/lbm

c) 2.04BTU/s

Explanation:

Amount of liquid that has evaporated, m = ◇Vliq/ Vf

We replace the values to make conversion

m = (0.6gal/ 0.01683ft^3/lbm) × (0.13368ft^3/1gal)

m = 4.755lb

The mass flow rate of exit steam is given by:

m' = m/◇t

We replace values to make conversion

m' =( 4.766lb/45min) = 0.1059lb/min × 1min/60s

m' = 0.001765lb/s

The exit velocity V = m'/pA = m'Vg/A

We replace values to make conversion

V =[ (0.001765lbm/s)(20.093ft^3/lbm) /(0.15 in^2)]× (144in^2/1ft^2)

V = 34.05ft/s

b) The total and flow energies per unit mass is given by:

Eflow= Pv = h - u

We replace the values to make conversion

Eflow = 1156.2 - 1081.8

Eflow = 74.4BTU/lbm

Therefore theta= h + ke + pe

Theta approximately =h = 1156.2BTU/lbs

c) The rate at which energy is leaving the cooler by steam is given by:

Emass = m'theta

Emass = (0.001765)×(1156.2)

Emass = 2.04BTU/s

Calculate the orbital period for Jupiter's moon Io, which orbits 4.22×10^5km from the planet's center (M=1.9×10^27kg) .

Verdich [7]

According to the <u>Third Kepler’s Law of Planetary motion</u> “<em>The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.</em>

In other words, this law states a relation between the orbital period $T$ of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size $a$ of its orbit.

This Law is originally expressed as follows:

<h2> $T^{2} =\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}$ (1) </h2>

Where;

$G$ is the Gravitational Constant and its value is $6.674(10^{-11})\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$

$M=1.9(10^{27})kg$ is the mass of Jupiter

$a=4.22(10^{5})km=4.22(10^{8})m$ is the semimajor axis of the orbit Io describes around Jupiter (assuming it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)

If we want to find the period, we have to express equation (1) as written below and substitute all the values:

<h2> $T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}}$ (2) </h2>

$T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{6.674(10^{-11})\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}1.9(10^{27})kg}(4.22(10^{8})m)^{3}}$

$T=\sqrt{\frac{2.966(10^{27})m^{3}}{1.268(10^{17})m^{3}/s^{2}}}$

$T=\sqrt{2.339(10^{10})s^{2}}$

Then:

<h2> $T=152938.0934s$ (3) </h2>

Which is the same as:

<h2> $T=42.482h$ </h2>

Therefore, the answer is:

The orbital period of Io is 42.482 h

How are electromagnetic waves different from all other waves

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

When the magnetic flux through a coil of wire changes, what is generated between the ends of the coil? Which equation predicts t

True [87]

Answer:

induced electromotive force (Voltage) E = - N dΦ / dt

Explanation:

When the magnetic flux this coil induces a current in each turn of the coil, which is why an induced electromotive force (Voltage) appears at the ends of the coil.

This phenomenon is fully explained by Faraday's law

E = - dΦ / dt

where in the case of a coil with N turns of has

E = - N dΦ / dt

Rl flux is the product of the normal to the area by the magnetic field, in this case the flux changes so we can assume that the area of the coil is constant

Suppose Earth's gravitational force were decreased by half. How would this change affect a game of basketball? Write a paragraph

timama [110]

If the gravitational force were<span> decreased by half, there would be lack of gravity on earth. Hence, it would basically affect the velocity, speed, and the distance travelled in any direction by basketball players and the ball. The basketball would bounce higher and come down in a slower speed. Whereas for the players, they would be able to leap higher from the floor.</span><span> </span>
