A smooth concrete pipe (1.5-ft diameter) carries water from a reservoir to an industrial treatment plant 1 mile away and dischar

ges it into the air over a holding tank. The pipe leaving the reservoir is 3 ft below the water surface and runs downhill on a 1:100 slope. Determine the flow rate (in cfs, ft3/s) if the water temperature is 40°F (4°C) and minor losses are negligible.

ANSWER:

Q = 0.17ft3/s

EXPLANATION: since the water runs downhill on a 1:100 slope, that means the flow is laminar.

Using poiseuille equation:

Q = (π × D^4 × ∆P) ÷ (128 × U × ∆X)

Q is the volume flow rate.

π is pie constant value at 3.142

D is the diameter of the pipe

∆P is the pressure drop

U is the viscosity

∆X is the length of the pipe or distance of flow.

Form the question, we are to determine U then Find Q

Therefore;

D = 1.5ft

∆P = 1pa since the minor losses are negligible.

∆X = 1mile = 5280ft.

STEP1: FIND U

Viscosity is a function of the temperature of the liquid. An increase in temperature increases the viscosity of the liquid.

We know that at room temperature, which is 25°C the viscosity of water is 8.9×10^-4pa.s . We can find the viscosity of water at 4°C by cross multiplying.

Therefore;

25°C = 8.9×10^-4pa.s

4°C = U

Cross multiply

U25°C = 4°C × 8.9×10^-4pa.s

U25°C = 0.00356°C.pa.s

Therefore;

U = 0.00356°C.pa.s ÷ 25°C

U = 1.424×10^-4pa.s

Therefore at 4°C the viscosity of water in the pipe is 1.424×10^-4pa.s

STEP2: FIND Q

Imputing the values into poiseuille equation above.

Q = (3.142 × (1.5ft)^4 × 1pa) ÷ (128 × 1.424×10^-4pa.s × 5280ft)

Q = 15.906375pa.ft4 ÷ 96.239616pa.s.ft

Therefore;

Q = 0.16547887ft3/s

Approximately;

Q = 0.17ft3/s

A homeowner consumes 260 kWh of energy in July when the family is on vacation most of the time. Determine the average cost per k
Llana [10]

Answer:

16.2 cents

Explanation:

Given that a homeowner consumes 260 kWh of energy in July when the family is on vacation most of the time.

Where Base monthly charge of $10.00. First 100 kWh per month at 16 cents/kWh. Next 200 kWh per month at 10 cents/kWh. Over 300 kWh per month at 6 cents/kWh.

For the first 100 kWh:

16 cent × 100 = 1600 cents = 16 dollars

Since 1 dollar = 100 cents

For the remaining energy:

260 - 100 = 160 kwh

10 cents × 160 = 1600 cents = 16 dollars

The total cost = 10 + 16 + 16 = 42 dollars

Note that the base monthly of 10 dollars is added.

The cost of 260 kWh of energy consumption in July is 42 dollars

To determine the average cost per kWh for the month of July, divide the total cost by the total energy consumed.

That is, 42 / 260 = 0.1615 dollars

Convert it to cents by multiplying the result by 100.

0.1615 × 100 = 16.15 cents

Approximately 16.2 cents

What is the net force acting on a car cruising at a constant velocity of 70 km/h (a) on a level road and (b) on an uphill road?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

a) zero b) zero

Explanation:

Newton's first law tells us that a body remains at rest or in uniform rectilinear motion, if a net force is not applied on it, that is, if there are no applied forces or If the sum of forces acting is zero. In this case there is a body that moves with uniform rectilinear motion which implies that there is no net force.

Visual perception is a mental process that is non selective<br> True<br> False
NARA [144]

The statement "Visual perception is a mental process that is non selective" is false, it is a psychic function that allows the organism to capture, elaborate and interpret selective information that comes from the environment.

<h2>What is visual perception?</h2>

Visual perception is that inner sensation of apparent knowledge, resulting from a specific stimulus or light impression recorded by the eyes.

<h3>Characteristics of visual perception</h3>

  • It incorporates the sensory stimuli received from objects, situations or events and converts them into a meaningful interpretation experience.

  • It is an active process of the brain through which an external reality is created by transforming the light information captured by the eye.

Therefore, we can conclude that visual perception is the interpretation made by the brain of the different organisms of the stimuli received through the senses.

A reversible process and an irreversible process both have the same________ between the same two states. a. Internal energy b. W
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

a) Internal energy

Explanation:

As we know that internal energy is a point function so it did not depends on the path ,it depends  at the initial and final states of process.All point function property did not depends on the path.Internal energy is a exact function.

Work and heat is a path function so these depend on the path.They have different values for different path between two states.Work and heat are in exact function.

We know that in ir-reversible process entropy will increase so entropy will be different for reversible and ir-reversible processes.
