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

The universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two objects depends on which quantities?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

D. the masses of the objects and the distance between them

Explanation:

Gravitation is a force, a force doesn't care about the shape or density of objects, only about their masses... and distances.

And you can get it using the following equation:

f = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{d^{2} }

Where :

G is the universal gravitational constant : G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2

m represent the mass of each of the two objects

d is the distance between the centers of the objects.

A beam of light traveling through a liquid (of index of refraction n1 = 1.47) is incident on a surface at an angle of θ1 = 59° w
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

(a) n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}

(b) n_{2} = 1.349

(c) v_{1} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s

(d) v_{2} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Refractive index of medium 1, n_{1} = 1.47

Angle of refraction for medium 1, \theta_{1} = 59^{\circ}

Angle of refraction for medium 2, \theta_{1} = 69^{\circ}

Now,

(a) The expression for the refractive index of medium 2 is given by using Snell's law:

n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}

where

n_{2} = Refractive Index of medium 2

Now,

n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}

(b) The refractive index of medium 2 can be calculated by using the expression in part (a) as:

n_{2} = \frac{1.47\times sin59^{\circ}}{sin69^{\circ}}

n_{2} = 1.349

(c) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 1:

We know that:

Refractive\ index,\ n = \frac{Speed\ of\ light\ in vacuum,\ c}{Speed\ of\ light\ in\ medium,\ v}

Thus for medium 1

n_{1} = \frac{c}{v_{1}

v_{1} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.47} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s

(d) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 2:

For medium 2:

n_{2} = \frac{c}{v_{2}

v_{2} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.349} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s

What is the net force on a car moving in a straight line with a constant velocity
guapka [62]

Answer:

For example, when a car travels at a constant speed, the driving force from the engine is balanced by resistive forces such as air resistance and friction in the car's moving parts. The resultant force on the car is zero.

Explanation:

hope this helps
