Answer:

The minimum standard diameter is 0.787 ft

Explanation:

Speed = 8 ft/s

Volumetric flow rate = 1750 gal/min = 1750 gal/min × 1 ft^3/7.481 gal × 1 min/60 s = 3.899 ft^3/s

Area of pipe (A) = volumetric flow rate ÷ speed = 3.899 ft^3/s ÷ 8 ft/s = 0.487 ft^2

Diameter of pipe = sqrt(4A/π) = sqrt(4×0.487/3.142) = sqrt(0.61999) = 0.787 ft

Aleksandr [31]

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>

attached below is the remaining part of the detailed solution

c) The system is a type-zero system because the pole at the origin is zero

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

Technician A says that a way to prevent galvanic corrosion is to duplicate the original installation method. Technician B says t
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

Galvanic corrosion is not on only one metal alone but caused when two metals are interacting. Thus, Duplicating the original installation method is a better option because re-using a coated bolt doesn't prevent galvanic corrosion because both materials must be coated and not just the bolt and in technician B's case he is coating just the bolt. Thus, technician B's method will not achieve prevention of galvanic corrosion but technician A's method will achieve it.

If it is desired to lay off a distance of 10,000' with a total error of no more than ± 0.30 ft. If a 100' tape is used and the
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

± 0.003 ft

Explanation:

Since our distance is 10,000 ft and we need to use a full tape measure of 100 ft. We find that 10,000 = 100 × 100.

Let L' = our distance and L = our tape measure

So, L' = 100L

Now by error determination ΔL' = 100ΔL

Now ΔL' = ± 0.30 ft

ΔL = ΔL'/100

= ± 0.30 ft/100

= ± 0.003 ft

So, the maxim error per tape is ± 0.003 ft

How much cornfield area would be required if you were to replace all the oil consumed in the United States with ethanol from cor
zaharov [31]

Answer:

2377.35 km

Explanation:

Given the following;

1. A cornfield is 1.5% efficient at converting radiant energy into stored chemical potential energy;

2. The conversion from corn to ethanol is 17% efficient;

3. A 1.2:1 ratio for farm equipment to energy production

4. A 50% growing season and,

5. 200 W/m2 solar insolation.

As per our assumptions,1.2/1 is the ratio for farm equipment to energy production,

So USA need around 45.45% (1/(1+1.2) replacement of fuel energy production which is nearly about = 0.4545*10^{20} J/year = \frac{0.4545*10^{20}}{365*24*3600}=1.44121*10^{12} J/sec

Growing season is only part of year ( Given = 50%),

Net efficiency = 1.5%*17%*50%=0.015*0.17*0.5=0.001275 = 0.1275%

Hence , Actual Energy replacement (Efficiency),

=\frac{1.44121*10^{12}}{0.001275} = 1.13*10^{15} J/sec=1.13*10^{15} W

As per assumption (5),

\because 200 W/m2 solar insolation arequired,

So USA required corn field area = 1.13*10^{15}/200 = 5.65*10^{12} m^{2}

Hence, length of each side of a square,

= (5.65*10^{12} )^{0.5} = 2377.35 km
