H. Blasius correlated data on turbulent friction factor in smooth pipes. His equation f s m o o t h ≈ 0.3164 Re − 1 / 4 fsmooth≈

0.3164Re−1/4 is reasonably accurate for Reynolds numbers between 4000 and 105. Use this information for the following scenario. Water at 20 °C is to flow through a 3‐cm I.D. plastic pipe at the rate of 0.001 m3/s. Find the incline angle of the pipe needed to make the static pressure constant along the pipe

Answer:

Therefore the angle  the pipe needed to make the static pressure constant along the pipe is θ = 4° 16'

Explanation:

The first step to take is to calculate the the velocity of flow through a pipe

Q =Av

Where Q = is the discharge through pipe

A = Area of the pipe

v = the flow of velocity

We substitute 0.001 m^3/s for Q and 0.03 m for D

Q= Av

0.001=Av

Substitute π/4 D² for A

0.001 = π/4 D² (v)

v = 0.004/πD²

D = he diameter of the pipe

substitute 3 cm  for D

v=  0.004/π * [3 cm * 1 m/100 cm]²

v =1.414 m/s

Obtain fluid properties from the table Kinematic viscosity and Dynamic of water

p =1000 kg /m³

μ= 1.002 * 10^ ⁻³ N.s/m³

Thus,

we write the expression to determine  the Reynolds number of flow

Re = pvD/μ

Re = is the Reynolds number

p =density

μ = dynamic viscosity at 20⁰C

We then substitute 1000 kg /m³ in place of p, 1.002 * 10^ ⁻³ N.s/m³ for μ,

1.414 m/s for v and 0.03 m for D

Thus,

Re = 1000 * 1.414 * 0.03/ 1.002 * 10^ ⁻³ = 42335

The next step is to calculate the friction factor form the Blasius equation

f = 0.3164 (Re)^1/4

f = friction factor

We substitute 42335 for Re

f = 0.3164 (42335)1/4

=0.022

The next step is to write the expression to determine the friction head loss

hl = flv²/2gD

hl = head loss

l = length of pipe

g=  acceleration due to gravity

We then again substitute 0.022 for f, 1.414 m/s for v, 0.03 m for D, and 9.8 m/s² for g.

so,

hl = flv²/2gD

hl/L = 0.022 * 1.414²/2 * 9.81 * 0.03

sinθ = 0.07473

θ = 4° 16'

Therefore the angle  the pipe needed to make the static pressure constant along the pipe is θ = 4° 16'

PythonA group of statisticians at a local college has asked you to create a set of functionsthat compute the median and mode of
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

  1. def median(l):
  2.    if(len(l) == 0):
  3.       return 0
  4.    else:
  5.        l.sort()
  6.        if(len(l)%2 == 0):
  7.            index = int(len(l)/2)
  8.            mid = (l[index-1] + l[index]) / 2
  9.        else:
  10.            mid = l[len(l)//2]  
  11.        return mid  
  12. def mode(l):
  13.    if(len(l)==0):
  14.        return 0
  15.    mode = max(set(l), key=l.count)
  16.    return mode  
  17. def mean(l):
  18.    if(len(l)==0):
  19.        return 0
  20.    sum = 0
  21.    for x in l:
  22.        sum += x
  23.    mean = sum / len(l)
  24.    return mean
  25. lst = [5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 15, 25, 30, 45, 61]
  26. print(mean(lst))
  27. print(median(lst))
  28. print(mode(lst))

Explanation:

Firstly, we create a median function (Line 1). This function will check if the the length of list is zero and also if it is an even number. If the length is zero (empty list), it return zero (Line 2-3). If it is an even number, it will calculate the median by summing up two middle index values and divide them by two (Line 6-8). Or if the length is an odd, it will simply take the middle index value and return it as output (Line 9-10).

In mode function, after checking the length of list, we use the max function to estimate the maximum count of the item in list (Line 17) and use it as mode.

In mean function,  after checking the length of list,  we create a sum variable and then use a loop to add the item of list to sum (Line 23-25). After the loop, divide sum by the length of list to get the mean (Line 26).

In the main program, we test the three functions using a sample list and we shall get

Define and discuss the difference between micronutrients and macronutrients. Also, discuss their importance in the body at rest
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Macronutrients are simply nutrients the body needs in a very high amount e.g Carbohydrate.

MicroNutrients are simply nutrients the body needs but in little amount e.g  Minerals.

Explanation:

So for further breakdown:

What are nutrients? Nutrients are essential elements that nourish the body in different capacities. We as humans get most of out nutrients from the food and water we ingest.

Now about Macro Nutrients: From the prefix "Macro" which means large, we can infer that macro nutrients are elements need by the body for the fundamental processes of the body, deficiency in this nutrients are very easy to spot. Examples are: Carbohydrates, Protein, Fats amd Water.

Micro Nutrients: In relation to macro nutrients this are elements that the body needs but are not needed in Large quantities. They mostly work like supporting nutrients. Most chemical activities like reaction that occur in the body are a function of micro nutrients. Defiencies in micrp nutrients may take some time to spot e.g Minerals and Vitamins

In regards to exercise: Macro nutrients are the essential ones here since they are the ones that generate energy. PS: micro nutrients dont generate energy.

In regards to rest: Both the Macro and Micro Nutrients are essentail for the overall well being of the body.

Determine the hydraulic radius for the following rectangular open channel width =23m water depth =3m
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

2.379m

Explanation:

The width = 23m

The depth = 3m

The radius is denoted as R

The wetted area is = A

The perimeter perimeter = P

Hydraulic radius

R = A/P

The area of a rectangular channel

= Width multiplied by Depth

A = 23x3

A = 69m²

Perimeter = (2x3)+23

P = 6+23

P= 29

Hydraulic radius R = 69/29

= 2.379m

This answers the question
