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

the water flow rate is 16 m3/min. Take the density of water as 1000 kg/m3 and the momentum-flux correction factor as unity.

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

A 3-oz serving of roasted, skinless chicken breast contains 140 Cal, 27 g of protein, 3 g of fat, 13 mg of calcium, and 64 mg of
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • a) Given C [ cal pro fat calc sod]

              [140 27 3  13  64]

  • P = [cal pro fat calc sod]

     [180 4 11 24 662]

  • B = [cal pro fat calc sod]

      [50  5    1  82   20]

To find C+2P+3B = [140 27 3  13  64] + 2[180 4 11 24 662] + 3[50  5    1  82   20]

= [650  54  28  307  1448]

The entries represent skinless chicken breast , One-half cup of potato salad and One broccoli spear.

A 200 Ω transmission line is to be matched to a computer terminal with ZL = (50 − j25) Ω by inserting an appropriate reactance i
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) To solve this problem, we are going to use the smith chart. After entering the value of Zo = 200 ohm and ZL = (50 − j25) Ω, this give us z_L\ and\ y_L, the intersection between y_L and the SWR line gives:

y(d)=1.026-j1.54\\\\We\ are\ using\ the\ imaginary\ part\ to calculate\ the\ capacitance,hence:\\\\wC=1.54*Y_o\\\\C=\frac{1.54}{Z_o*w}=\frac{1.54}{200*2\pi*800*10^6}=1.53*10^{-12}\\  \\C=1.53*10^{-12}F

b) Also, we get:

y(d)=1.0-j1.52\\\\We\ are\ using\ the\ imaginary\ part\ to\ calculate\ the\ inductance,hence:\\\\1/wL=1.52*Y_o\\\\L=\frac{Z_o}{1.52*w}=\frac{200}{1.52*2\pi*800*10^6}=2.6*10^{-8}\\  \\L=2.6*10^{-8}H
