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

Explain why there is a delay between the arrival of the sound transmitted through the steel pipe and the sound transmitted by th

Nataliya [291]

Answer: RATE ME AND MAKE ME BRAININESS AND THANK ME

Explanation:Sound waves are pressure waves that travel through Earth's crust, water bodies, and atmosphere. Natural sound frequencies specify the frequency attributes of sound waves that will efficiently induce vibration in a body (e.g., the tympanic membrane of the ear) or that naturally result from the vibration of that body.

Sound waves can potentiate or cancel in accord with the principle of superposition and whether they are in phase or out of phase with each other. Waves of all forms can undergo constructive or destructive interference. Sound waves also exhibit Doppler shifts—an apparent change in frequency due to relative motion between the source of sound emission and the receiving point. When sound waves move toward an observer the Doppler effect shifts observed frequencies higher. When sound waves move away from an observer the Doppler effect shifted observed frequencies lower. The Doppler effect is commonly and easily observed in the passage of planes, trains, and automobiles.

The speed of propagation of a sound wave is dependent upon the density of the medium of transmission. Weather conditions (e.g., temperature , pressure, humidity , etc.) and certain geophysical and topographical features (e.g., mountains or hills) can obstruct sound transmission. The alteration of sound waves by commonly encountered meteorological conditions is generally negligible except when the sound waves propagate over long distances or emanate from a high frequency source. In the extreme cases, atmospheric conditions can bend or alter sound wave transmission.

For a positive charge moving in the direction of the electric field,its potential energy increases and its electric potential de

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

its potential energy decreases and its electric potential decreases.

Explanation:

Let's consider a radial field for simplicity. We have:

- The electric potential of the field is given by:

$V=\frac{kQ}{r}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge source of the field

r is the distance from Q

We see that the electric potential decreases as we move away from the source. If we consider a positive charge q moving in the direction of the electric field, this charge q will move away from the charge Q (because the field lines generated by the positive particle Q point away from the particle), so the electric potential will decrease.

- The potential energy of the moving charge is given by

$U=qV$

where q is the magnitude of the charge. As we said previously, V is decreasing while the charge is moving in the direction of the field, so since U is directly proportional to V, U will decrease as well.

The figure shows five electric charges. Four charges with the magnitude of the charge 2.0 nC form a square with the size a = 4.0

bearhunter [10]

Considering the four electric charges forming a square with magnitude of charge of 2.0 nC on each. :

A) Magnitude of the force on the 5.5 nC charge in the middle of the figure = 3.48 * 10^-4 N

B) Direction of the force on the 5.5 nC charge in the middle of the figure = Leftward ( negative x -axis )

Using the given data :

size of square = 4 cm

magnitudes of four charges = 2.0 nC

<u> a) </u><u>magnitude</u><u> of the force on the center charge </u>

Electric force between two point charges = $F = \frac{1}{4\pi *E_{o} } \frac{q1q2}{r^2}$ ----- ( 1 )

where ; $\frac{1}{4\pi E_{o} } = 9 * 10^9 Nm^2/C^2$

step 1 ; find r ( distance between charges )

r² = ( 2 )² + ( 2 )² = 8 cm²

back to equation 1

F = 9 * 10⁹ * $\frac{2 * 10^{-9} * (5.5 * 10^{-9}) }{8*10^{-4} }$ = 1.23 * 10^-4 N

∴ magnitude of the force on the center charge ( Fnet )= 4F cos 45°

= 4 * ( 1.23 * 10^-4 ) * $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$ = 3.48 * 10^-4 N

b) The direction of the force at the center is along the negative x-axis ( leftward )
