What level of wildfire risk do people living in Boulder have?

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The risk of catastrophic wildfire is a real and serious threat facing those who reside in the forested areas of Boulder County. Dating back to the Black Tiger Fire of 1989, wildfires have collectively destroyed some 250 homes or other structures, burned over 16,000 acres, and threatened the lives and properties of thousands of mountain residents. In an attempt to mitigate the loss of life and property in Boulder County, the Land Use Department has included wildfire mitigation measures in the planning review and building permit process.

The statement that is NOT true about the concept of a boundary layer on an object is: a. the Reynolds number is greater than uni

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

All the given statements are true except the velocity gradients normal to the flow direction are small since these are not normally small. It's true that viscous effects are present only inside the boundary layer and the fluid velocity equals the free stream velocity at the edge of the boundary layer. Moreover, Reynolds number is greater than unity and the fluid velocity is zero at the surface of the object.

Which of the following ranges depicts the 2% tolerance range to the full 9 digits provided?

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

the only one that meets the requirements is option C .

Explanation:

The tolerance of a quantity is the maximum limit of variation allowed for that quantity.

To find it we must have the value of the magnitude, its closest value is the average value, this value can be given or if it is not known it is calculated with the formula

x_average = ∑ $x_{i}$ / n

The tolerance or error is the current value over the mean value per 100

Δx₁ = x₁ / x_average

tolerance = | 100 -Δx₁ 100 |

bars indicate absolute value

let's look for these values for each case

a)

x_average = (2.1700000+ 2.258571429) / 2

x_average = 2.2142857145

fluctuation for x₁

Δx₁ = 2.17000 / 2.2142857145

Tolerance = 100 - 97.999999991

Tolerance = 2.000000001%

fluctuation x₂

Δx₂ = 2.258571429 / 2.2142857145

Δx2 = 1.02

tolerance = 100 - 102.000000009

tolerance 2.000000001%

b)

x_average = (2.2 + 2.29) / 2

x_average = 2,245

fluctuation x₁

Δx₁ = 2.2 / 2.245

Δx₁ = 0.9799554

tolerance = 100 - 97,999

Tolerance = 2.00446%

fluctuation x₂

Δx₂ = 2.29 / 2.245

Δx₂ = 1.0200445

Tolerance = 2.00445%

c)

x_average = (2.211445 +2.3) / 2

x_average = 2.2557225

Δx₁ = 2.211445 / 2.2557225 = 0.9803710

tolerance = 100 - 98.0371

tolerance = 1.96%

Δx₂ = 2.3 / 2.2557225 = 1.024624

tolerance = 100 -101.962896

tolerance = 1.96%

d)

x_average = (2.20144927 + 2.29130435) / 2

x_average = 2.24637681

Δx₁ = 2.20144927 / 2.24637681 = 0.98000043

tolerance = 100 - 98.000043

tolerance = 2.000002%

Δx₂ = 2.29130435 / 2.24637681 = 1.0200000017

tolerance = 2.0000002%

e)

x_average = (2 +2,3) / 2

x_average = 2.15

Δx₁ = 2 / 2.15 = 0.93023

tolerance = 100 -93.023

tolerance = 6.98%

Δx₂ = 2.3 / 2.15 = 1.0698

tolerance = 6.97%

Let's analyze these results, the result E is clearly not in the requested tolerance range, the other values may be within the desired tolerance range depending on the required precision, for the high precision of this exercise the only one that meets the requirements is option C .

You are evaluating the lifetime of a turbine blade. The blade is 4 cm long and there is a gap of 0.16 cm between the tip of the

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given conditions

1)The stress on the blade is 100 MPa

2)The yield strength of the blade is 175 MPa

3)The Young’s modulus for the blade is 50 GPa

4)The strain contributed by the primary creep regime (not including the initial elastic strain) was 0.25 % or 0.0025 strain, and this strain was realized in the first 4 hours.

5)The temperature of the blade is 800°C.

6)The formula for the creep rate in the steady-state regime is dε /dt = 1 x 10-5 σ4 exp (-2 eV/kT)

where: dε /dt is in cm/cm-hr σ is in MPa T is in Kelvink = 8.62 x 10-5 eV/K

Young Modulus, E = Stress, $\sigma$ /Strain, ∈

initial Strain, $\epsilon_i = \frac{\sigma}{E}$

$\epsilon_i = \frac{100\times 10^{6} Pa}{50\times 10^{9} Pa}$

$\epsilon_i = 0.002$

creep rate in the steady state

$\frac{\delta \epsilon}{\delta t} = (1 \times {10}^{-5})\sigma^4 exp^(\frac{-2eV}{kT} )$

$\frac{\epsilon_{initial} - \epsilon _{primary}}{t_{initial}-t_{final}} = 1 \times 10^{-5}(100)^{4}exp(\frac{-2eV}{8.62\times10^{-5}(\frac{eV}{K} )(800+273)K} )$

but Tinitial = 0

$\epsilon_{initial} - \epsilon _{primary}} = 0.002 - 0.003 = -0.001$

$\frac{-0.001}{-t_{final}} = 1 \times 10^{-5}(100)^{4}\times 10^{(\frac{-2eV}{8.62\times10^{-5}(\frac{eV}{K} )1073K} )}$

solving the above equation,

we get

Tfinal = 2459.82 hr
