A growing trend in urban design is the concept of a rooftop garden. If every building in a city were to install a rooftop garden

, how might the urban heat island be affected? Describe and explain at least two different impacts you might observe.

Answer:The Urban heat island temperature will be REDUCED.

Two Impacts of Rooftop gardens

1) provision of shade against Sunlight.

2) It helps to purify the air around the building.

Explanation: Rooftop gardens are gardens made on top of the roofs of buildings, it is a Green initiative aimed at helping to improve the overall Environment.

Rooftop gardens have several significant benefits which includes

Reduction of the surrounding temperatures and the Urban heat Island temperatures.

Rooftop gardens helps to shade the roof from the direct impacts of harsh weather conditions.

Generally, plants are known as air purifiers as they remove the excess Carbondioxide around the environment through photosynthesis, and they also help to release water vapor which will help to improve the humidity of the environment.

Re armature of a 4 pole DC generator is required to generate an emf of 520v on open circuit when revolving at a speed of 660rpm.
bija089 [108]

Since the armature is wave wound, the magnetic flux per pole is 0.0274 Weber.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Emf = 520 Volts
  • Speed = 660 r.p.m
  • Number of armature conductors = 144 slots
  • Number of poles = 4 poles
  • Number of parallel paths = 2

To find the magnetic flux per pole:

Mathematically, the emf generated by a DC generator is given by the formula;

E = \frac{\theta ZN}{60} × \frac{P}{A}

<u>Where:</u>

  • E is the electromotive force in the DC generator.
  • Z is the total number of armature conductors.
  • N is the speed or armature rotation in r.p.m.
  • P is the number of poles.
  • A is the number of parallel paths in armature.
  • Ф is the magnetic flux.

First of all, we would determine the total number of armature conductors:

Z = 144 × 2 × 3

Z = 864

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

520 = \frac{\theta (864)(660)}{60} × \frac{4}{2}

520 = \theta (864)(11) × 2

520 = 19008 \theta \\\\\Theta = \frac{520}{19008}

<em>Magnetic flux </em><em>=</em><em> 0.0274 Weber.</em>

Therefore, the magnetic flux per pole is 0.0274 Weber.

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG  > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.
