In the well-insulated trans-Alaska pipeline, the high viscosity of the oil and long distances cause significant pressure drops,

and it is reasonable to question whether flow work would be significant. Consider an 150 km length of pipe of diameter 1.2 m, with oil flow rate 500 kg/s. The oil properties are 900 kg/m3, 2000 J/kg·K, 0.765 N·s/m2. Calculate the pressure drop, the flow work, and the temperature rise caused by the flow work. Recall from chapter 1, for steady flow, one inlet, one outlet, no heat transfer, no work, and negligible kinetic and protential energy changes, the enthalpy of the fluid remains constant. Enthalpy is the sum of internal energy and flow work.

Our values are defined by,

L=150*10^3m

\Phi = 1.2m

\dot{m}=700kg/s

\rho_o=900km/m^3

Sp=2000J/KgK

\mu_k = 0.765Ns/m^2

With this data we can easily calculate first the mean velocity of the flow,

The velocity is given by,

\nu=\frac{\dot{m}}{\rho_o A_c}

\nu = \frac{\dot{m}}{\rho_o \pi/4\Phi^2}

\nu = \frac{4*700}{900\pi(1.2)^4}

\nu=0.688m/s

With the mean velocity is now possible determine if the flow is Laminar or turbulent, for that we need Number Reynolds.

Remember that a Laminar Flow is given when Reynolds number is minor to 2300, then

Re_x = \frac{4\dot{m}}{\pi D\mu_k}

Re_x = \frac{4*700}{\pi*1.2*0.765}

Re_x = 970.8798

Re_x < 2300, then the flow is laminar.

For this section we will consider the Pressure drop to calculate the flow Work and the Total Energy conservation of this flow.

To calculate the Pressure drop we need the Friction factor, which is given by,

f= \frac{64}{Re}=\frac{64}{970.8789}

f= 0.06591

Then the Pressure drop is given by,

\Delta P = \frac{f\rho_o \nu^2 L}{2D}

\Delta P = \frac{0.06591*900*(0.688)^2*183*10^3}{2*1.2}

\Delta P = 2.141*10^6Pa

We can now calculate the Flow Work given by,

W_f = \frac{\Delta P\dot{m}}{\rho_o}

W_f = \frac{2.141*10^6*700}{900}

W_f = 1.6651*10^6J

From energy conservation we have

W_f=q

W_f = \dot{m}c_p\Delta T

Re-arrange for \Delta T

\Delta T = \frac{W_f}{\dot{m}c_p}

\Delta T = \frac{1.56*10^6}{700*2000}

\Delta T = 1.1894\°c

An inductor has a 50.0-Ω reactance when connected to a 60.0-Hz source. The inductor is removed and then connected to a 45.0-Hz s
nignag [31]

Given:

X_{L} = 50.0 \ohm

frequency, f = 60.0 Hz

frequency, f' = 45.0 Hz

V_rms} = 85.0 V

Solution:

To calculate max current in inductor, I_{L(max):

At f = 60.0 Hz

X_{L} = 2\pi fL

50.0 = 2\pi\times 60.0\times L

L = 0.1326 H

Now, reactance X_{L} at f' = 45.0 Hz:

X'_{L} = 2\pi f'L

X'_{L} = 2\pi\times 45.0\times 0.13263 = 37.5\ohm

Now, I_{L(max) is given by:

I_{L(max) = \sqrt {\frac{2V_{rms}}{X'_{L}}}

I_{L(max) = \sqrt {\frac{2\times 85.0}{37.5}} = 2.13 A

Therefore,  max current in the inductor, I_{L(max) = 2.13 A

1.8 A water flow of 4.5 slug/s at 60 F enters the condenser of steam turbine and leaves at 140 F. Determine the heat transfer ra
Ann [662]

Answer:

Hr=4.2*10^7\ btu/hr

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Water flow Rate R=4.5slug/s=144.78ib/sec

Initial Temperature T_1=60 \textdegree F

Final Temperature  T_2=140 \textdegree F

Let

Specific heat of water \gamma= 1

And

 \triangle T= 140-60

 \triangle T= 80\ Deg.F

Generally the equation for Heat transfer rate of water  H_r is mathematically given by

Heat transfer rate to water= mass flow rate* specific heat* change in temperature

 H_r=R* \gamma*\triangle T

 H_r=144.78*80*1

 H_r=11582.4\ btu/sec

Therefore

 H_r=11582.4\ btu/sec*3600

 Hr=4.2*10^7\  btu/hr

What Advantage does a voltmeter have over a noncontact voltage indicator when testing for voltage
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Obviously you shouldn't rely just on the meter for your safety. You'd disconnect wall fuses or kill main switches before you start, using the meter just gives you some extra protection: with the meter you might notice for example that you've disconnected the wrong fuse and the unit is still live.

Explanation:

Hope it helps! :)
