Answer:

At the equilibrium states.

Explanation:

Entropy

Entropy is a measure of randomness.This is extensive property of thermodynamic systems.The concept of entropy originates from the second law of thermodynamics.

As we know that

Entropy of universe= Entropy of system+ Entropy of surrounding.

So when universe reaches at the equilibrium states then the universe attained its maximum value of entropy.

A hydraulic jump is induced in an 80 ft wide channel.The water depths on either side of the jump are 1 ft and 10 ft.Please calcu

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

a) 42.08 ft/sec

b) 3366.33 ft³/sec

c) 0.235

d) 18.225 ft

e) 3.80 ft

Explanation:

Given:

b = 80ft

y1 = 1 ft

y2 = 10ft

a) Let's take the formula:

$\frac{y2}{y1} = \frac{1}{5} * \sqrt{1 + 8f^2 - 1}$

$10*2 = \sqrt{1 + 8f^2 - 1$

1 + 8f² = (20+1)²

= 8f² = 440

f² = 55

f = 7.416

For velocity of the faster moving flow, we have :

$\frac{V_1}{\sqrt{g*y_1}} = 7.416$

$V_1 = 7.416 *\sqrt{32.2*1}$

V1 = 42.08 ft/sec

b) the flow rate will be calculated as

Q = VA

VA = V1 * b *y1

= 42.08 * 80 * 1

= 3366.66 ft³/sec

c) The Froude number of the sub-critical flow.

V2.A2 = 3366.66

Where A2 = 80ft * 10ft

Solving for V2, we have:

$V_2 = \frac{3666.66}{80*10}$

= 4.208 ft/sec

Froude number, F2 =

$\frac{V_2}{g*y_2} = \frac{4.208}{32.2*10}$

F2 = 0.235

d) $El = \frac{(y_2 - y_1)^3}{4*y_1*y_2}$

$El = \frac{(10-1)^3}{4*1*10}$

$= \frac{9^3}{40}$

= 18.225ft

e) for critical depth, we use :

$y_c = [\frac{(\frac{3366.66}{80})^2}{32.2}]^1^/^3$

= 3.80 ft

Reasons for racking back on a wall

zmey [24]

Answer:

Racking is the term used for when buildings tilt as their structural components are forced out of plumb. This is most commonly caused by wind forces exerting horizontal pressure, but it can also be caused by seismic stress, thermal expansion or contraction, and so on.

Based on these statements:

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

the third statement is true

Explanation:

given data

Lenovos cost more than Dells

Lenovos cost less than Apples

solution

we have given 1st statement that is express as

cost (Lenovo) > cost (Dell) ..................1

and

2nd statement that is express as

cost (Lenovo) < cost (Apple)

so we can say it as

cost (Apple) > cost (Lenovo) ......................2

and

now above Both equation 1 and 2 can be written as

cost (Apple) > cost (Lenovo) > cost (Dell) .........................3

so we can say cost of Apples is more than the cost of Lenovos and the cost of Dells

so as that given 3rd statement is true

A welding rod with κ = 30 (Btu/hr)/(ft ⋅ °F) is 20 cm long and has a diameter of 4 mm. The two ends of the rod are held at 500 °

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

In Btu:

Q=0.001390 Btu.

In Joule:

Q=1.467 J

Part B:

Temperature at midpoint=274.866 C

Explanation:

Thermal Conductivity=k=30 (Btu/hr)/(ft ⋅ °F)= $\frac{30}{3600} (Btu/s)/(ft.F)=8.33*10^{-3} (Btu/s)/(ft.F)$

Thermal Conductivity is SI units:

$k=30(Btu/hr)/(ft.F) * \frac{1055.06}{3600*0.3048*0.556} \\k=51.88 W/m.K$

Length=20 cm=0.2 m= (20*0.0328) ft=0.656 ft

Radius=4/2=2 mm =0.002 m=(0.002*3.28)ft=0.00656 ft

T_1=500 C=932 F

T_2=50 C= 122 F

Part A:

In Joules (J)

$A=\pi *r^2\\A=\pi *(0.002)^2\\A=0.00001256 m^2$

Heat Q is:

$Q=\frac{k*A*(T_1-T_2)}{L} \\Q=\frac{51.88*0.000012566*(500-50}{0.2}\\ Q=1.467 J$

In Btu:

$A=\pi *r^2\\A=\pi *(0.00656)^2\\A=0.00013519 m^2$

Heat Q is:

$Q=\frac{k*A*(T_1-T_2)}{L} \\Q=\frac{8.33*10^{-3}*0.00013519*(932-122}{0.656}\\ Q=0.001390 Btu$

PArt B:

At midpoint Length=L/2=0.1 m

$Q=\frac{k*A*(T_1-T_2)}{L}$

On rearranging:

$T_2=T_1-\frac{Q*L}{KA}$

$T_2=500-\frac{1.467*0.1}{51.88*0.00001256} \\T_2=274.866\ C$
