Two piezometers have been placed along the direction of flow in a confined aquifer that is 30.0 m thick. The piezometers are 280

m apart. The difference in piezometric head between the two is 1.4 m. The aquifer hydraulic conductivity is 50 m · day−1, and the porosity is 20%. Estimate the travel time for water to flow between the two piezometers.

Answer:

time = 224 days

Explanation:

given data

thick = 30 m

piezometers = 280 m

head between two = 1.4 m

aquifer hydraulic conductivity = 50 m

porosity = 20%

solution

we get here average pole velocity that is get by using Darcy law that is

Va = $\frac{k}{\eta } \times \frac{\Delta h}{L}$ ................1

here Va is average pole velocity and k is hydraulic conductivity and $\eta$ is porosity

here v is = $k \times \frac{dh}{dl}$ ...........2

v = 50 × $\frac{1.4}{280}$

v = 0.25 m/day

and here average linear velocity Va will be

Va = $\frac{v}{\eta }$

Va = $\frac{0.25}{0.2}$

Va = 1.25 m/day

travel time for water will be

time = $\frac{280}{1.25}$

time = 224 days

The radial component of acceleration of a particle moving in a circular path is always:________ a. negative. b. directed towards

lesya [120]

Answer:

d. all of the above

Explanation:

There are two components of acceleration for a particle moving in a circular path, radial and tangential acceleration.

The radial acceleration is given by;

$a_r = \frac{V^2}{R}$

Where;

V is the velocity of the particle

R is the radius of the circular path

This radial acceleration is always directed towards the center of the path, perpendicular to the tangential acceleration and negative.

Therefore, from the given options in the question, all the options are correct.

d. all of the above

Let <em>f(z)</em> = (4<em>z </em>² + 2<em>z</em>) / (2<em>z </em>² - 3<em>z</em> + 1).

First, carry out the division:

<em>f(z)</em> = 2 + (8<em>z</em> - 2) / (2<em>z </em>² - 3<em>z</em> + 1)

Observe that

2<em>z </em>² - 3<em>z</em> + 1 = (2<em>z</em> - 1) (<em>z</em> - 1)

so you can separate the rational part of <em>f(z)</em> into partial fractions. We have

(8<em>z</em> - 2) / (2<em>z </em>² - 3<em>z</em> + 1) = <em>a</em> / (2<em>z</em> - 1) + <em>b</em> / (<em>z</em> - 1)

8<em>z</em> - 2 = <em>a</em> (<em>z</em> - 1) + <em>b</em> (2<em>z</em> - 1)

8<em>z</em> - 2 = (<em>a</em> + 2<em>b</em>) <em>z</em> - (<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)

so that <em>a</em> + 2<em>b</em> = 8 and <em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 2, yielding <em>a</em> = -4 and <em>b</em> = 6.

So we have

<em>f(z)</em> = 2 - 4 / (2<em>z</em> - 1) + 6 / (<em>z</em> - 1)

or

<em>f(z)</em> = 2 - (2/<em>z</em>) (1 / (1 - 1/(2<em>z</em>))) + (6/<em>z</em>) (1 / (1 - 1/<em>z</em>))

Recall that for |<em>z</em>| < 1, we have

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-z}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^n$

Replace <em>z</em> with 1/<em>z</em> to get

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-\frac1z}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n}$

so that by substitution, we can write

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \frac2z \sum_{n=0}^\infty (2z)^{-n} + \frac6z \sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n}$

Now condense <em>f(z)</em> into one series:

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=0}^\infty 2^{-n+1} z^{-(n+1)} + 6 \sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n-1}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=0}^\infty \left(6+2^{-n+1}\right) z^{-(n+1)}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(6+2^{-(n-1)+1}\right) z^{-n}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(6+2^{2-n}\right) z^{-n}$

So, the inverse <em>Z</em> transform of <em>f(z)</em> is $\boxed{6+2^{2-n}}$ .

Firefighters are holding a nozzle at the end of a hose while trying to extinguish a fire. The nozzle exit diameter is 8 cm, and

ivanzaharov [21]

Question

Determine the average water exit velocity

Answer:

53.05 m/s

Explanation:

Given information

Volume flow rate, $Q=16 m^{3}/min$

Diameter d= 8cm= 0.08 m

Assumptions

The flow is jet flow hence momentum-flux correction factor is unity
Gravitational force is not considered
The flow is steady, frictionless and incompressible
Water is discharged to the atmosphere hence pressure is ignored

We know that Q=AV and making v the subject then

$V=\frac {Q}{A}$ where V is the exit velocity and A is area

Area, $A=\frac {\pi d^{2}{4}$ where d is the diameter

By substitution

$V=\frac {16\times 4}{\pi 0.08^{2}}=3183.098862 m/min$

To convert v to m/s from m/s, we simply divide it by 60 hence

$V=\frac {3183.098862 m/min}{60 s}=53.0516477 m/s\approx 53.05 m/s$
