The water behind Hoover Dam in Nevada is 221 m higher than the Colorado River below it. At what rate must water pass through the

hydraulic turbines of this dam to produce 50 MW of power if the turbines are 100 percent efficient?

Answer:

23.06262m^3/s

Explanation:

The volume flow rate of the water is determined from the needed power output and the elevation difference:

Where, height (h) =221m, power(w)=50MW=50*10^6w

Density of water (ρ)=1000kg/m^3

Efficiency of turbine(η)=100%=1

V=W/ρηgh

=50*10^6m^3/(1)*(1000)*(9.81)*(221)s=23.06262m^3/s

Oil with a density of 850 kg/m3 and kinematic viscosity of 0.00062 m2 /s is being discharged by a 8-mm-diameter, 40-m-long horiz
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Q = 5.06 x 10⁻⁸ m³/s

Explanation:

Given:

v=0.00062 m² /s       and ρ= 850 kg/m³  

diameter = 8 mm

length of horizontal pipe = 40 m

Dynamic viscosity =

μ =  ρv

   =850 x 0.00062

   = 0.527 kg/m·s  

The pressure at the bottom of the tank is:

P₁,gauge = ρ g h = 850 x 9.8 x 4 = 33.32 kN/m²

The laminar flow rate through a horizontal pipe is:

Q = \dfrac{\Delta P \pi D^4}{128 \mu L}

Q= \dfrac{33.32 \times 1000 \pi\times 0.008^4}{128 \times 0.527 \times 40}

Q = 5.06 x 10⁻⁸ m³/s

Five bolts are used in the connection between the axial member and the support. The ultimate shear strength of the bolts is 320
lesya [120]

Answer:

The minimum allowable bolt diameter required to support an applied load of P = 450 kN is 45.7 milimeters.

Explanation:

The complete statement of this question is "Five bolts are used in the connection between the axial member and the support. The ultimate shear strength of the bolts is 320 MPa, and a factor of safety of 4.2 is required with respect to fracture. Determine the minimum allowable bolt diameter required to support an applied load of P = 450 kN"

Each bolt is subjected to shear forces. In this case, safety factor is the ratio of the ultimate shear strength to maximum allowable shear stress. That is to say:

n = \frac{S_{uts}}{\tau_{max}}

Where:

n - Safety factor, dimensionless.

S_{uts} - Ultimate shear strength, measured in pascals.

\tau_{max} - Maximum allowable shear stress, measured in pascals.

The maximum allowable shear stress is consequently cleared and computed: (n = 4.2, S_{uts} = 320\times 10^{6}\,Pa)

\tau_{max} = \frac{S_{uts}}{n}

\tau_{max} = \frac{320\times 10^{6}\,Pa}{4.2}

\tau_{max} = 76.190\times 10^{6}\,Pa

Since each bolt has a circular cross section area and assuming the shear stress is not distributed uniformly, shear stress is calculated by:

\tau_{max} = \frac{4}{3} \cdot \frac{V}{A}

Where:

\tau_{max} - Maximum allowable shear stress, measured in pascals.

V - Shear force, measured in kilonewtons.

A - Cross section area, measured in square meters.

As connection consist on five bolts, shear force is equal to a fifth of the applied load. That is:

V = \frac{P}{5}

V = \frac{450\,kN}{5}

V = 90\,kN

The minimum allowable cross section area is cleared in the shearing stress equation:

A = \frac{4}{3}\cdot \frac{V}{\tau_{max}}

If V = 90\,kN and \tau_{max} = 76.190\times 10^{3}\,kPa, the minimum allowable cross section area is:

A = \frac{4}{3} \cdot \frac{90\,kN}{76.190\times 10^{3}\,kPa}

A = 1.640\times 10^{-3}\,m^{2}

The minimum allowable cross section area can be determined in terms of minimum allowable bolt diameter by means of this expression:

A = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}

The diameter is now cleared and computed:

D = \sqrt{\frac{4}{\pi}\cdot A}

D =\sqrt{\frac{4}{\pi}\cdot (1.640\times 10^{-3}\,m^{2})

D = 0.0457\,m

D = 45.7\,mm

The minimum allowable bolt diameter required to support an applied load of P = 450 kN is 45.7 milimeters.

the AADT for a section of suburban freeway is 150000 veh/day. Assuming this is an urban radial facility, what range of direction
igomit [66]

Answer:

design hour volumes will be 4000 to 6000

Explanation:

given data

AADT  = 150000 veh/day

solution

we get here design hour volumes that is express as

design hour volumes  = AADT × k × D    ..............1

here k is factor and its  range is 8 to 12 % for urban

and D is directional distribution i.e traffic equal divided by the direction

so here design hour volumes will be 4000 to 6000

Vector A extends from the origin to a point having polar coordinates (7, 70ᵒ ) and vector B extends from the origin to a point h
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

13.95

Explanation:

Given :

Vector A polar coordinates = ( 7, 70° )

Vector B polar coordinates = ( 4, 130° )

To find A . B we  will

A ( r , ∅ ) = ( 7, 70 )

A = rcos∅ + rsin∅

therefore ; A  = 2.394i + 6.57j

B ( r , ∅ ) = ( 4, 130° )

B = rcos∅ + rsin∅

therefore ;  B = -2.57i + 3.06j

Hence ; A .B

( 2.394 i + 6.57j ) . ( -2.57 + 3.06j ) = 13.95
