Answer:

(a) 0 kJ

(b) 9.81 kJ

(c) 31.32 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

From the law of conservation of energy, energy can only be transformed from one state to another. At a height of 50 m, all the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy hence KE=0

(b)

Potential energy, PE=mgh where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height

Substituting 50 m for h and 20 Kg for m, taking g as 9.81 then

PE=20*9.81*50=9810 J=9.81 kJ

(c)

Relating the equation of potential energy to the equation of kinetic energy, which is $0.5mv^{2}$

$mgh=0.5mv^{2}$ where v is the velocity of the mass

$v=\sqrt {2gh}$

Substituting 50 m for h and taking g as 9.81 then

$v=\sqrt {2*9.81*50}=31.32091953\approx 31.32 m/s$

According to fire regulations in a town, the pressure drop in a commercial steel, horizontal pipe must not exceed 2.0 psi per 25

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

6.37 inch

Explanation:

Thinking process:

We need to know the flow rate of the fluid through the cross sectional pipe. Let this rate be denoted by Q.

To determine the pressure drop in the pipe:

Using the Bernoulli equation for mass conservation:

$\frac{P1}{\rho } + \frac{v_{2} }{2g} +z_{1} = \frac{P2}{\rho } + \frac{v2^{2} }{2g} + z_{2} + f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}$

thus

$\frac{P1-P2}{\rho } = f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}$

The largest pressure drop (P1-P2) will occur with the largest f, which occurs with the smallest Reynolds number, Re or the largest V.

Since the viscosity of the water increases with temperature decrease, we consider coldest case at T = 50⁰F

from the tables

Re= 2.01 × 10⁵

Hence, f = 0.018

Therefore, pressure drop, (P1-P2)/p = 2.70 ft

This occurs at ae presure change of 1.17 psi

Correlating with the chart, we find that the diameter will be D= 0.513

1. Consider a city of 10 square kilometers. A macro cellular system design divides the city up into square cells of 1 square kil

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a) $n = 1000\,users$ , b) $\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h$ , c) $n = 10000000\,users$ , $\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h$

Explanation:

a) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

$n = \frac{10\,km^{2}}{1\,\frac{km^{2}}{cell} }\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )$

$n = 1000\,users$

b) The length of the side of each cell is:

$l = \sqrt{1\,km^{2}}$

$l = 1\,km$

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h$

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}$

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h$

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h$

c) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

$n = \frac{10\times 10^{6}\,m^{2}}{100\,m^{2}}\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )$

$n = 10000000\,users$

The length of each side of the cell is:

$l = \sqrt{100\,m^{2}}$

$l = 10\,m$

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{0.01\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h$

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}$

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h$

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h$

makkiz [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is

option C. current to pneumatic (V/P)

Explanation:

A current to pneumatic controller is basically used to receive an electronic signal from a controller and converts it further into a standard pneumatic output signal which is further used to operate a positioner or control valve. These devices are reliable, robust and accurate.

Though Voltage and current to pressure transducers are collectively called as electro pneumatic tranducers and the only electronic feature to control output pressure in them is the coil.
