Answer:

A. 3.21ft

B. 3.51ft

C. 2.95ft

D. 1.5275ft

Explanation:

A) Q =212 cu.f/s

Formula for critical depth of rectangular section is: dc =[(Q^2) /(b^2(g))]^1/3

Where dc =critical depth, ft

Q= quantity of flow or discharge, ft3/s

B= width of channel, ft (m)

g = acceleration due to gravity which is 9.81m/s2 or 32.185ft/s2

Now, from the question,

Q = 212 cu.f/s and b=6.5ft

Therefore, the critical depth is: [(212^2)/(6.5^2 x32. 185)]^(1/3)

To give ; critical depth= (44,944/1359.82)^(1/3) = 3.21ft

B. Formula for critical depth of a triangular section; dc = (2Q^2/gm^2)^(1/5)

From the question, Q =212 cu.f/s and m=1.6ft while g= 32.185ft/s2

Therefore, critical depth = [(212^2) /(1.6^2 x32. 185)] ^(1/5) = (44,944/84.466)^(1/5) = 3.51ft

C. For trapezoidal channel, critical depth(y) is derived from (Q^2 /g) = (A^3/T)

Where A= (B + my)y and T=(B+2my)

Now from the question, B=6.5ft and m=5ft.

Therefore, A= (6.5 + 2y)y and T=(6. 5 + 2(5y))= 6.5 + 10y

Now, let's plug the value of A and T into the initial equation to derive the critical depth ;

(212^2 /32.185) = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]/ (6.5 + 10y)

Which gives;

1396.43 = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]/ (6.5 + 10y)

Multiply both sides by 6.5 + 10y to get;

1396.43(6.5 + 10y) = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]

Factorizing this, we get y = 2. 95ft

D) Formula for critical depth of a circular section; dc =D/2[1 - cos(Ѳ/2)]

Where D is diameter of pipe and Ѳ is angle at critical depth in radians.

Angle not given, so we assume it's perpendicular angle is 90.

Since angle is in radians, therefore Ѳ/2 = 90/2 = 45 radians ; converting to degree, = 2578. 31

Therefore, dc = (6.5/2) (1 - cos (2578.31))

dc = 3.25(1 - 0.53) = 3.25 x 0.47 = 1.5275ft

Answer:

a) \frac{Ws}{Es}  = \frac{200}{1+1.2s}

b) attached below

c) type zero system

d) k > \frac{g}{200}

e) The gain K increases above % error as the  steady state speed increases

Explanation:

Given data:

Motor voltage  = 12 v

steady state speed = 200 rad/s

time taken to reach 63.2% = 1.2 seconds

<u>a) The transfer function of the motor from voltage to speed</u>

let ; \frac{K1}{1+St} be the transfer function of a motor

when i/p = 12v then steady state speed ( k1 ) = 200 rad/s , St ( time constant ) = 1.2 sec

hence the transfer function of the motor from voltage to speed

= \frac{Ws}{Es}  = \frac{200}{1+1.2s}

<u>b) draw the block diagram of the system with plant controller and the feedback path </u>

pshichka [43]

Answer:

A)Q = 1208.33 W/m²

B)K = 0.138 W/m.K

Explanation:

We are given;

inside air temperature;T_∞,i =25 °C = 25 + 273 = 298K

outside air temperature;T_∞,o = -10°C = - 10 + 273 = 263K

Inner surface temperature;T_s,i = 15 °C = 15 + 273 = 288K

Thickness, L = 4mm = 0.004m

convection heat transfer coefficient ; hi = 25 W/(m².K)

A) From an energy balance at the inner surface and the thermal circuit, the electric power required per unit window area is given as;

Q = [(T_s,i - T_∞,o)/((L/k) + (1/hi))] - [(T_∞,o - T_s,i)/(1/hi)]

Plugging in the relevant values with k for glass as 1.4 W/m.k, we have;

Q = [(288 - 263)/((0.004/1.4) + (1/25))] - [(263 - 288)/(1/25)]

Q = 583.33 + 625

Q = 1208.33 W/m²

B) The formula for thermal conductivity is;

K = (QL)/(AΔT)

Where;

K is the thermal conductivity in W/m.K

Q is the amount of heat transferred through the material

L is the distance between the two isothermal planes

A is the area of the surface in square meters

ΔT is the difference in temperature in Kelvin

ΔT = 298K - 263K = 35K

Now, since we have value of heat per unit area to be Q = 1208.33 W/m², let's rearrange the equation to reflect that; Thus ;

k = (Q/A) x (L/ΔT)

K = 1208.33 x (0.004/35)

K = 0.138 W/m.K
