Answer:

a. V = 109.64 × 10⁵ ft/min

b. Mw = 654519.54 kg/hr

Explanation:

Given Parameters

mass flow rate of water, Mw = 90000g/min = 6607.33 kg/s

inlet temperature of water, T1 = 84 F = 28.89 C

outlet temperature of water, T2 = 68 F = 20 C

specific heat capacity of water, c = 4.18kJ/kgK

rate of heat remover from water, Qw is given by

Qw = 6607.33[28.89 - 20] * 4.18

Qw = 245529.545kw

For air, inlet condition

DBT = 70 F              hi = 43.43 kJ/kg

WBT = 60 F             wi = 0.00874 kJ/kg

                                u1 = 0.8445 m/kg

oulet condition,

DBT = 70 F        RH = 100.1

h1 = 83.504kJ/kg

Wo = 0.222kJ/kg

Urgent please help!<br> What are non-ferrous metal and ferrous metal?
m_a_m_a [10]
In metallurgy, non-ferrous metals are metals or alloys that do not contain iron in appreciable amounts. Generally more costly than ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals are used because of desirable properties such as low weight, higher conductivity, non-magnetic property or resistance to corrosion

Instead of running blood through a single straight vessel for a distance of 2 mm, one mammalian species uses an array of 100 tin
Marina CMI [18]

Solution:

Given that :

Volume flow is, $Q_1 = 1000 \ mm^3/s$

So, $Q_2= \frac{1000}{100}=10 \ mm^3/s$

Therefore, the equation of a single straight vessel is given by

$F_{f_1}=\frac{8flQ_1^2}{\pi^2gd_1^5}$    ......................(i)

So there are 100 similar parallel pipes of the same cross section. Therefore, the equation for the area is

$\frac{\pi d_1^2}{4}=1000 \times\frac{\pi d_2^2}{4} $

or $d_1=10 \ d_2$

Now for parallel pipes

$H_{f_2}= (H_{f_2})_1= (H_{f_2})_2= .... = = (H_{f_2})_{10}=\frac{8flQ_2^2}{\pi^2 gd_2^5}$  ...........(ii)

Solving the equations (i) and (ii),

$\frac{H_{f_1}}{H_{f_2}}=\frac{\frac{8flQ_1^2}{\pi^2 gd_1^5}}{\frac{8flQ_2^2}{\pi^2 gd_2^5}}$

       $=\frac{Q_1^2}{Q_2^2}\times \frac{d_2^5}{d_1^5}$

       $=\frac{(1000)^2}{(10)^2}\times \frac{d_2^5}{(10d_2)^5}$

       $=\frac{10^6}{10^7}$

Therefore,

$\frac{H_{f_1}}{H_{f_2}}=\frac{1}{10}$

or $H_{f_2}=10 \ H_{f_1}$

Thus the answer is option A). 10

An example of Ferrous alloy is Brass a)-True b)-False
djyliett [7]

Answer: False

Explanation: No, brass is not a ferrous alloy.  

      Ferrous alloys are those alloy which contain iron like cast iron, steel, strain-less steel, high carbon steel. Brass on the other hand does not contain any composition. of iron hence it can not be considered as a ferrous alloy. Brass comes under the category of non- ferrous made with a composition of copper and zinc, however their proportion is not strict and we can add other elements like aluminium or lead to alter its durability or corrosiveness.
