Answer with Explanation:

Hydraulic diameter is a term analogous to the diameter of the circular sectional pipe but used for the cases when the cross sectional shape of the pipe is non circular.

It serves as an equivalent diameter that is used to calculate the Reynolds number for the flow.

The hydraulic diameter is 4 times the hydraulic radius of any section.

For a rectangular duct as shown in the attached figure

$R_{h}=\frac{Wetted_{Area}}{Wetted_{perimeter}}\\\\R_h=\frac{d\times b}{2(d+b)}\\\\\therefore D_{h}=4\times R_{h}=4\times \frac{db}{2(d+b)}=\frac{2db}{(d+b)}$

Where

$D_{h}$ is the hydraulic diameter of the duct with depth 'd' and width 'b'

It is true about Metals and alloys: a)-They are good electrical and thermal conductors b)-They can be used as semi-conductors c)

ycow [4]

Answer:

(d) a and c are correct

Explanation:

METALS : Metal are those materials which has very high ductility, high modulus of elasticity, good thermal and electrical conductivity

for example : iron, gold ,silver, copper

ALLOYS: Alloys are those materials which are made up of combining of two or more than two metals these also have good thermal and electrical conductivity and me liable property

for example ; bronze and brass

so from above discussion it is clear that option (d) will be the correct option

A small pad subjected to a shearing force is deformed at the top of the pad 0.08 in. The height of the pad is 1.38 in. What is t

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The shear strain is 0.05797 rad.

Explanation:

Shear strain is the ratio of change in dimension along the shearing load direction to the height of the plate under application of shear load. Width of the plate remains same. Length of the plate slides under shear load.

Step1

Given:

Height of the pad is 1.38 in.

Deformation at the top of the pad is 0.08 in.

Calculation:

Step2

Shear strain is calculated as follows:

$tan\phi=\frac{\bigtriangleup l}{h}$

$tan\phi=\frac{0.08}{1.38}$

$tan\phi= 0.05797$

For small angle of $\phi$ , $tan\phi$ can take as $\phi$ .

$\phi = 0.05797 rad.$

Thus, the shear strain is 0.05797 rad.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Gc(s) = $\frac{0.1s + 0.28727}{s}$

Explanation:

comparing the standard approximation with the plot attached we can tune the PI gains so that the desired response is obtained. this is because the time requirement of the setting is met while the %OS requirement is not achieved instead a 12% OS is seen from the plot.
