Two vertical parallel plates are spaced 0.01 ft apart. If the pressure decreases at a rate of 60 psf/ft in the vertical z-direct

Answer:

umax = 0.1259ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

•Distance between plates, B = 0.01ft

•Pressure difference decrease, \frac{dp}{dz}=60ps/ft

•Fluid viscosity, u = 10^-³lbf-s/ft²

Specific gravity, S = 0.80

Max velocity in the z-direction will be:

u_max= [\frac{B^2y}{8u}]\frac{dh}{ds}

But h = \frac{P}{y}+z

Substituting for h in the first equation, we have:

\frac{d}{dz}[\frac{p}{y}+z]

\frac{dh}{dz}=\frac{1}{y}\frac{dp}{ds}+\frac{dz}{dz}

= \frac{1}{0.8*62.4}(-60)+1

= -0.20192

Substituting dh/dz value in the first equation (umax), we have:

umax = \frac{0.01^2(0.8*62.4)}{8*10^-^3}(-0.20192)

umax = 0.1259ft/s

What is the average linear (seepage) velocity of water in an aquifer with a hydraulic conductivity of 6.9 x 10-4 m/s and porosit
jeka94

Answer:

a. 0.28

Explanation:

Given that

porosity =30%

hydraulic gradient = 0.0014

hydraulic conductivity = 6.9 x 10⁻4 m/s

We know that average linear velocity given as

v=\dfrac{K}{n_e}\dfrac{dh}{dl}

v=\dfrac{6.9\times 10^{-4}}{0.3}\times0.0014\ m/s

v=3.22\times 10^{-6}\ m/s

The velocity in m/d      ( 1 m/s =86400 m/d)

v= 0.27 m/d

So the nearest answer is 'a'.

a. 0.28

In fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe the velocity at R/2 (mid-way between the wall surface and the centerline) is
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

u_{max} = 17.334\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Let consider that velocity profile inside the circular pipe is:

u(r) = 2\cdot U_{avg} \cdot \left(1 - \frac{r^{2}}{R^{2}}  \right)

The average speed at r = \frac{1}{2} \cdot R is:

U_{avg} = \frac{13\,\frac{m}{s} }{2\cdot \left(1-\frac{1}{4}  \right)}

U_{avg} = 8.667\,\frac{m}{s}

The velocity at the center of the pipe is:

u_{max} = 2\cdot U_{avg}

u_{max} = 17.334\,\frac{m}{s}

Answer:

Without Recursives

// Program is written using C++

// Comments are used for explanatory purpose

int main()

{

// Declare integer number, n

int n;

cout<<"Enter number of starts to print"

cin>>n;

// Iterate through to print * pattern

for(i=n; i>0;i--)

{

for(j=n; i>j-1;j--)

{

cout<<"*";

}

cout<"\n";

}

for(i=0; i< n; i++)

{

for(j=0;j<=i;j++)

{

cout<<"*";;

}

cout<"\n";

}

return 0;

}

Using Recursive

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void printStars(int lines);

int main()

// prompt the user to enter a number

int lines;

cin>> lines;

printStars(int lines);

return 0;

}

void printStars(int lines)

{

if (lines < 1)

return;

// to print the stars of a particular row

if (i <= lines)

{

cout << "* ";

// recursively print rest of the stars

// of the row

printPatternRecur(lines, i + 1);

}

else

{

// change line

The difference between a thermocouple and a thermistor is the A. technology inside. B. thermocouple measures temperatures at the
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: B. thermocouple measures temperatures at the tip and the thermistor at the dimple.

Explanation:

A thermistor is a temperature-sensitive resistor, whilst a thermocouple generates a voltage proportional to the temperature. Thermocouples can work at much higher temperatures than thermistors. They are commonly used for temperature control in heating systems.
