What hot springs in the ocean floor

2 answers:

7 0

In many areas of the ocean floor, wherever magma nears the seafloor, or where lava erupts directly at the seafloor surface, hot springs on the seafloor called hydrothermal vents commonly are found. Vent fields are generally associated with submarine (undersea) volcanoes where lava is erupting or preparing to erupt.

Answer:L=109.16 m

Explanation:

Given

initial temperature $=20^{\circ}C$

Final Temperature $=80^{\circ}C$

mass flow rate of cold fluid $\dot{m_c}=1.2 kg/s$

Initial Geothermal water temperature $T_h_i=160^{\circ}C$

Let final Temperature be T

mass flow rate of geothermal water $\dot{m_h}=2 kg/s$

diameter of inner wall $d_i=1.5 cm$

$U_{overall}=640 W/m^2K$

specific heat of water $c=4.18 kJ/kg-K$

balancing energy

Heat lost by hot fluid=heat gained by cold Fluid

$\dot{m_c}c(T_h_i-T_h_e)= \dot{m_h}c(80-20)$

$2\times (160-T)=1.2\times (80-20)$

$160-T=36$

$T=124^{\circ}C$

As heat exchanger is counter flow therefore

$\Delta T_1=160-80=80^{\circ}C$

$\Delta T_2=124-20=104^{\circ}C$

$LMTD=\frac{\Delta T_1-\Delta T_2}{\ln (\frac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2})}$

$LMTD=\frac{80-104}{\ln \frac{80}{104}}$

$LMTD=91.49^{\circ}C$

heat lost or gain by Fluid is equal to heat transfer in the heat exchanger

$\dot{m_c}c(80-20)=U\cdot A\cdot$ (LMTD)

$A=\frac{1.2\times 4.184\times 1000\times 60}{640\times 91.49}=5.144 m^2$

$A=\pi DL=5.144$

$L=\frac{5.144}{\pi \times 0.015}$

$L=109.16 m$

Answer:

a) Θ = ω₀*t + ½αt² To complete first revolution 2π rads = 0*t + ½αt² and to complete the first and second combined 4π rads = 0*t + ½α(t+0.810s)² Divide second by first: 2 = (t + 0.810s)² / t² This is quadratic in t and has roots at t = -0.336 s ← ignore and t = 1.96 s ◄ b) Use either equation from above: 2π rads = 0*t + ½α(1.96s)² α = 3.27 rad/s² ◄ Hope this helps!

Magnetic stripes on the sea floor

Explanation:

The observation of magnetic stripes patterns at the region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge galvanized the evidence that sea floor spreading has been on for several millions of years.

Geomagnetic field of the earth is similar to that of bar magnet having the north and south pole.
It originates from the movement of iron-nickel within the outer core.
This geomagnetic field causes the magnetization of magnetic minerals in rock.
When freshly formed magma is brought to the surface at the mid oceanic ridge area, the prevailing magnetic field causes the magnetic minerals in the magma to cool in such a way that they align their domains to that of the field.
The magnetic field of the earth can reverse and take different geometry. Sometimes, its intensity is very strong and at other times it is weak.
The magnetic minerals in melts bear these records.
As new materials are brought up, they get magnetized.
