A rectangular concrete (n=0.013) channel 20 feet wide, on a 2.5% slope, is discharging 400 ft3 /sec into a stilling basin. The s

tilling basin is also 20 feet wide and has a water depth of 8 ft determined from the downstream channel condition. What is the length of the stilling basin? What is the height of the endsill?

Answer:

Length of stilling basin = 32.9 feet

Height of end sill = 6.58 feet

Explanation:

Discharge = Q = 400 ft^3 /sec

Slope = 2.5 ft

Width = 20 feet

n = 0.013

we will assume the depth of flow as "d"

Q = 1/n (R)^2/3 (slope)^1/2 A ( here R is the hydraulic Radius)

by substituting the given data in above formula we get:

400 = 1/0.013 * (R)^2/3 * sqrt (2.5/100) * 20d

R = A/P

here, A is the flow area and P is the wetted perimeter

400*0.013 = (20d/(20+20d))^2/3 * sqrt(2.5/100) * 20d

<u>d = 1.42 feet</u>

<u></u>

Depth of stilling channel before the jump will be = d1 = 8 feet

Depth of stilling channel after the jump will be = d2 = 1.42 feet

Length of stilling basin = 5(d2 - d1)

= 5( 8 - 1.42)

<u>Length of stilling basin = 32.9 feet </u>

Now calculating the height of end sill:

Jump height = (8 - 1.42)

<u>Height of end sill = 6.58 feet</u>

A flywheel performs each of these functions except: A. Contains a gear used for engine starting B. Smoothes engine operation C.

torisob [31]

Answer:

C. Provides lubrication to parts

Explanation:

Flywheel :

Flywheel is a device which stored the mechanical energy.This energy can be use when more energy required during any operation.Due to high moment of inertia of the flywheel it resist the change in the speed .The flywheel is attached to the crank shaft at the rear side of the engine.

The flywheel perform following function:

1. It connects the crankshaft and the transmission system.

2.It makes the engine operation smooth.

3.It contains gear and other parts of the engine.

But it can not provide lubrication.

One kilogram of air, initially at 5 bar, 350 K, and 3 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2), initially at 2 bar, 450 K, are confined to opp

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Energy alance of 2 closed systems: Heat from CO2 equals the heat that is added to air in

$m_{a} c_{v,a}(T_{eq} -T_{a,i)} =m_{co2} c_{v,co2} (T_{co2,i} -T_{eq)}$

1x0.723x $(T_{eq} -350)$ =3x0.780x $(450-T_{eq} )$ ⇒ $T_{eq}$ = 426.4 °K

The initail volumes of the gases can be determined by the ideal gas equation of state,

$V_{a,i} = \frac{mRT_{a,i} }{P_{a,i} }$ = $\frac{1x (8.314 28.97 kJ kg • °K)x 350°K}{5 bar x 100KPa bar}$ = 0.201 $m^{3}$

The equilibrium pressure of the gases can also be obtained by the ideal gas equation

$P_{eq=\frac{(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq})+(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq} ) }{(V_{a,eq}+V_{CO2,eq)} } =\frac{(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq})+(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq} ) }{(V_{a,i}+V_{CO2,i)} }$

$P_{eq}$ = 1x(8.314 28.97)x426.4+3x(8.314 44)x426.4

(0.201+1.275)

= 246.67 KPa = 2.47 bar

Calculate how large a mass would be necessary to obtain a mechanical noise limit of [Equation] = 1 nG, 1 µG, and 1 mG if the mec

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Mechanical resonance frequency is the frequency of a system to react sharply when the frequency of oscillation is equal to its resonant frequency (natural frequency).

The physical dimension of the silicon is 10kg

Explanation:

Using the formular, Force, F = 1/2π√k/m

At resonance, spring constant, k = mw² ( where w = 2πf), when spring constant, k = centripetal force ( F = mw²r).

Hence, F = 1/2π√mw²/m = f ( f = frequency)

∴ f = F = mg, taking g = 9.8 m/s²

100 Hz = 9.8 m/s² X m

m = 100/9.8 = 10.2kg

Why is it reasonable to say that no system is 100% efficient?

Virty [35]

Generally, frictional losses are more predominant for the machines being not 100% efficient. This friction leads to the loss of energy in the form of heat, into the surroundings. Some of the supplied energy may be utilised to change the entropy (measure of randomness of the particles) of the system.

A Geostationary satellite has an 8kW RF transmission pointed at the earth. How much force does that induce on the spacecraft? (N

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The force induced on the aircraft is 2.60 N

Solution:

As per the question:

Power transmitted, $P_{t} = 8 kW = 8000 W$

Now, the force, F is given by:

$P_{t} = Force(F)\times velocity(v) = Fv$ (1)

where

v = velocity

Now,

For a geo-stationary satellite, the centripetal force, $F_{c}$ is provided by the gravitational force, $F_{G}$ :

$F_{c} = F_{G}$

$\frac{mv^{2}}{R} = \frac{GM_{e}m{R^{2}}$

Thus from the above, velocity comes out to be:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{R}}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 5.979\times 10^{24}}{42166\times 10^{3}}} = 3075.36 m/ s$

where

R = $R_{e} + H$

R = $\sqrt{GM_{e}(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}}$

where

G = Gravitational constant

T = Time period of rotation of Earth

R is calculated as 42166 km

Now, from eqn (1):

$8000 = F\times 3075.36$

F = 2.60 N
