A kite is an airfoil that uses the wind to produce a lift. Held in place by a string, a kite can remain aloft indefinitely. The

diamond kite is a particularly simple kite. As the wind passes under the lower surface of the diamond kite, it bends away from the surface and slows down. The air pressure under the lower surface is

Answer:

<em>a) results in an increased pressure.</em>

<em>b) results in a pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure.</em>

<em>c) The direction of the overall force is upwards.</em>

<em>d) other forces are the weight, drag, and tension on the string.</em>

<em>e) the extra weight due to the tail adds drag and keeps the nose of the kite pointing upwards and the kite generally stable.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

a) As the wind passes under the lower surface of the diamond kite, it slows down. The slowing down of the wind under the lower surface results in an increased air pressure under the lower surface which now exceeds the pressure at the upper surface of the diamond kite, generating more lift upwards.

b) As the wind passes over the upper surface of the diamond kite, turbulence occurs resulting in pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure. This results in a reduce air drag on the kite.

c) The direction of the overall force exerted by the air on the kite is upwards.

d) Other force that acts on the kite in the air are; gravity force (due to the weight of the kite), drag (due to air flow around the kite), and tension force on the string from you. Once at the maximum height, the approximate net force on the kite is zero (provided the kite is stable at this height).

e) The extra weight of the kite due to the tail adds drag at the bottom of the kite, keeping the nose pointing upwards, and keeps the kite stable.

A well-insulated tank in a vapor power plant operates at steady state. Saturated liquid water enters at inlet 1 at a rate of 125
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) \dot m_{3} = 135\,\frac{lbm}{s}, b) h_{3}=168.965\,\frac{BTU}{lbm}, c) T = 200.829\,^{\textdegree}F

Explanation:

a) The tank can be modelled by the Principle of Mass Conservation:

\dot m_{1} + \dot m_{2} - \dot m_{3} = 0

The mass flow rate exiting the tank is:

\dot m_{3} = \dot m_{1} + \dot m_{2}

\dot m_{3} = 125\,\frac{lbm}{s} + 10\,\frac{lbm}{s}

\dot m_{3} = 135\,\frac{lbm}{s}

b) An expression for the specific enthalpy at outlet is derived from the First Law of Thermodynamics:

\dot m_{1}\cdot h_{1} + \dot m_{2} \cdot h_{2} - \dot m_{3}\cdot h_{3} = 0

h_{3} = \frac{\dot m_{1}\cdot h_{1}+\dot m_{2}\cdot h_{2}}{\dot m_{3}}

Properties of water are obtained from tables:

h_{1}=180.16\,\frac{BTU}{lbm}

h_{2}=28.08\,\frac{BTU}{lbm} + \left(0.01604\,\frac{ft^{3}}{lbm}\right)\cdot (14.7\,psia-0.25638\,psia)

h_{2}=29.032\,\frac{BTU}{lbm}

The specific enthalpy at outlet is:

h_{3}=\frac{(125\,\frac{lbm}{s} )\cdot (180.16\,\frac{BTU}{lbm} )+(10\,\frac{lbm}{s} )\cdot (29.032\,\frac{BTU}{lbm} )}{135\,\frac{lbm}{s} }

h_{3}=168.965\,\frac{BTU}{lbm}

c) After a quick interpolation from data availables on water tables, the final temperature is:

T = 200.829\,^{\textdegree}F

Ignoring any losses, estimate how much energy (in units of Btu) is required to raise the temperature of water in a 90-gallon hot
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Q=36444.11 Btu

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature = 60° F

Final temperature = 110° F

Specific heat of water = 0.999 Btu/lbm.R

Volume of water = 90 gallon

Mass = Volume x density

1\ gallon = 0.13ft^3

Mass ,m= 90 x 0.13 x 62.36 lbm

m=729.62 lbm

We know that sensible heat given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

Now by putting the values

Q= 729.62 x 0.999 x (110-60) Btu

Q=36444.11 Btu

A lake has a carrying capacity of 10,000 fish. At the current level of fishing, 2,000 fish per year are taken with the catch uni
arlik [135]

Answer:

The population size would be p' = 5000

The yield would be    MaxYield = 2082 \ fishes \ per \ year

Explanation:

So in this problem we are going to be examining the application of a  population dynamics a fishing pond and stock fishing and objective would be to obtain the maximum sustainable yield and and the population of the fish at the obtained maximum sustainable yield,  so basically we would be applying an engineering solution to fishing

 

    So the current  yield which is mathematically represented as

                               \frac{dN}{dt} =   \frac{2000}{1 \ year }

 Where dN is the change in the number of fish

            and dt is the change in time

So in order to obtain the solution we need to obtain the  rate of growth

    For this we would be making use of the growth rate equation which is

                                      r = \frac{[\frac{dN}{dt}] }{N[1-\frac{N}{K} ]}

  Where N is the population of the fish which is given as 4,000 fishes

          and  K is the carrying capacity which is given as 10,000 fishes

             r is the growth rate

        Substituting these values into the equation

                              r = \frac{[\frac{2000}{year}] }{4000[1-\frac{4000}{10,000} ]}  =0.833

The maximum sustainable yield would be dependent on the growth rate an the carrying capacity and this mathematically represented as

                      Max Yield  = \frac{rK}{4} = \frac{(10,000)(0.833)}{4} = 2082 \ fishes \ per \ year

So since the maximum sustainable yield is 2082 then the the population need to be higher than 4,000 so in order to ensure a that this maximum yield the population size denoted by p' would be

                          p' = \frac{K}{2}  = \frac{10,000}{2}  = 5000\ fishes

Answer:

2.135

Explanation:

Lets make use of these variables

Ox 16.5 kpsi, and Oy --14,5 kpsi

To determine the factor of safety for the states of plane stress. We have to first understand the concept of Coulomb-Mohr theory.

Mohr–Coulomb theory is a mathematical model describing the response of brittle materials such as concrete, or rubble piles, to shear stress as well as normal stress.
