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

An object located near the surface of Earth has a weight of a 245 N
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 24.5 kg and weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

Explanation:

Weight of the object on the surface of Earth, W = 245 N

On the surface of Earth, acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

m is mass

m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{245\ N}{10\ m/s^2}\\\\=24.5\ kg

So, the mass of the object is 24.5 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on Mars, g' = 3.72 m/s²

Weight of the object on Mars,

W' =mg'

W' = 24.5 kg × 3.72 m/s²

= 91.14 N

So, the weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

An apple falls from an apple tree growing on a 20° slope. The apple hits the ground with an impact velocity of 16.2 m/s straight
EleoNora [17]

Apple hits the surface with speed 16.2 m/s

The angle made by the apple velocity with normal to the incline surface is given as 20 degree

now the component of velocity which is parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the surface is given as

v_{perpendicular} = v cos20

v_{parallel} = v sin20

so here we have

v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20

v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s

<em>so its velocity along the incline plane will be 5.5 m/s</em>
