Answer:

number of houses = 3751.243

Explanation:

given data

tower high H =  90 ft

pipe length L = 3 mile

pipe dia d = 6 in

solution

we consider here loss is neglected by dia 6 in pipe

so we apply here bernaulis equation from top to bottom height 90 ft

\frac{P1}{\rho g} + \frac{V1^2}{2 g} + Z1 = \frac{P2}{\rho g} + \frac{V2^2}{2 g} + Z2      ..........................1

here P1 is = o gauge pressure

and P2 = 30 Psi  = 206.843 × 10^{3} Pa

and Z1 = 27.432 m

and Z2 = 0 and V1 = 0

so from equation 1

0+0+27.432 = \frac{206.843*10^3}{1000*9.81} × \frac{V2^2}{2*9.81}

solve we get

V = 11.16 m/s

V = 36.6 ft/s

and

flow will be here

flow Q = AV     ............2

Q = \frac{\pi}{4} (0.15)^2 × 11.16

Q = 0.19723 m³/s

Q = 187562.157 gal/hr

we have given house  use maximum = 50 gal/hr

so total home served = \frac{total flow}{need 1 home}

number of houses = \frac{187562.157}{50}

so number of houses = 3751.243

% Asks user for input

n = input('Total number of objects: ');

r = input('Size of subgroup: ');

% Computes and displays permutation according to basic formulas

p = 1;

for i = n - r + 1 : n

What is the value of the work interaction in this process?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The answer is "-121\  \frac{KJ}{Kg}".

Explanation:

Please find the correct question in the attachment file.

using formula:

\to W=-P_1V_1+P_2V_2 \\\\When \\\\\to W= \frac{P_1V_1-P_2V_2}{n-1}\ \   or \ \  \frac{RT_1 -RT_2}{n-1}\\\\

W =\frac{R(T_1 -T_2)}{n-1}\\\\

    =\frac{0.287(25 -237)}{1.5-1}\\\\=\frac{0.287(-212)}{0.5}\\\\=\frac{-60.844}{0.5}\\\\=-121.688 \frac{KJ}{Kg}\\\\=-121 \frac{KJ}{Kg}\\\\

An aircraft component is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 40MPa. It has been dete
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Yes, fracture will occur

Explanation:

Half length of internal crack will be 4mm/2=2mm=0.002m

To find the dimensionless parameter, we use critical stress crack propagation equation

\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}} and making Y the subject

Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}

Where Y is the dimensionless parameter, a is half length of crack, K is plane strain fracture toughness, \sigma_c  is critical stress required for initiating crack propagation. Substituting the figures given in question we obtain

Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}= \frac {40}{300\sqrt {(0.002*\pi)}}=1.682

When the maximum internal crack length is 6mm, half the length of internal crack is 6mm/2=3mm=0.003m

\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}}  and making K the subject

K=\sigma_c Y \sqrt {a\pi}  and substituting 260 MPa for \sigma_c  while a is taken as 0.003m and Y is already known

K=260*1.682*\sqrt {0.003*\pi}=42.455 Mpa

Therefore, fracture toughness at critical stress when maximum internal crack is 6mm is 42.455 Mpa and since it’s greater than 40 Mpa, fracture occurs to the material

When _____ ,the lithium ions are removed from the_____ and added into the _____
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

b. Discharging; anode; cathode

Explanation:

When discharging , it means the battery is producing a flow electric current, the lithium ions are released from the  anode to the cathode which generates the flow of electrons from one side to another. When charging Lithium ions are released by the cathode and received by the anode.
