Answer:

A). Dry unit weight = 1657.08Kg/m3

B). Porosity  = 0.37

C). Void ratio  = 0.593 

D). 0.712

Explanation:

Total unit weight, Y = 120pcf =1922.2 Kg/m3

Specific gravity of solids, Gs = 2.64

Water content, w = 16%

A). Dry unit weight

Yd = Y/(1+w)

= 1922.2/(1+0.16) = 1657.08Kg/m3

B). Porosity

However void ratio, e = Gs×Yw/Yd, where Yw = 1000Kg/m3

Void ratio = 2.64×1000/1657.08 = 0.593

 

And porosity = e/(1+e) =0.593/(1+0.593) = 0.37

C). void ratio, e = 0.593

D). Degree of saturation, S = m×Gs/e where m =water content

S = 0.16×2.64/0.593 = 0.712

Oil with a density of 800 kg/m3 is pumped from a pressure of 0.6 bar to a pressure of 1.4 bar, and the outlet is 3 m above the i
Naddik [55]

Answer:

23.3808 kW

20.7088 kW

Explanation:

ρ = Density of oil = 800 kg/m³

P₁ = Initial Pressure = 0.6 bar

P₂ = Final Pressure = 1.4 bar

Q = Volumetric flow rate = 0.2 m³/s

A₁ = Area of inlet = 0.06 m²

A₂ = Area of outlet = 0.03 m²

Velocity through inlet = V₁ = Q/A₁ = 0.2/0.06 = 3.33 m/s

Velocity through outlet = V₂ = Q/A₂ = 0.2/0.03 = 6.67 m/s

Height between inlet and outlet = z₂ - z₁ = 3m

Temperature to remains constant and neglecting any heat transfer we use Bernoulli's equation

\frac {P_1}{\rho g}+\frac{V_1^2}{2g}+z_1+h=\frac {P_2}{\rho g}+\frac{V_2^2}{2g}+z_2\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{P_2-P_1}{\rho g}+\frac{V_2^2-V_1^2}{2g}+z_2-z_1\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{(1.4-0.6)\times 10^5}{800\times 9.81}+\frac{6.67_2^2-3.33^2}{2\times 9.81}+3\\\Rightarrow h=14.896\ m

Work done by pump

W_{p}=\rho gQh\\\Rightarrow W_{p}=800\times 9.81\times 0.2\times 14.896\\\Rightarrow W_{p}=23380.8\ W

∴ Power input to the pump 23.3808 kW

Now neglecting kinetic energy

h=\frac{P_2-P_1}{\rho g}+z_2-z_1\\\Righarrow h=\frac{(1.4-0.6)\times 10^5}{800\times 9.81}+3\\\Righarrow h=13.19\ m\\

Work done by pump

W_{p}=\rho gQh\\\Rightarrow W_{p}=800\times 9.81\times 0.2\times 13.193\\\Rightarrow W_{p}=20708.8\ W

∴ Power input to the pump 20.7088 kW

Can a 1½ " conduit, with a total area of 2.04 square inches, be filled with wires that total 0.93 square inches if the maximum f
Papessa [141]

Answer:

it is not possible to place the wires in the condui

Explanation:

given data

total area = 2.04 square inches

wires total area = 0.93 square inches

maximum fill conduit =  40%

to find out

Can it is possible place wire in conduit conduit

solution

we know maximum fill is 40%

so here first we get total area of conduit that will be

total area of conduit = 40% × 2.04

total area of conduit = 0.816 square inches

but this area is less than required area of wire that is 0.93 square inches

so we can say it is not possible to place the wires in the conduit

Do the coil resistances have any effect on the plots?
PolarNik [594]
Because of the skin depth effect, the current at high frequency tends to flow at very low depth from radius. Then at high frequency the effective cross section of the wire is narrower than at DC.

Fro example skin depth at 100 kHz is 0.206 mm (0.008”), a wire more thicker than AWG26 could be a waste of copper, better use a bunch of thin wire (Litz wire) to rise the Q factor.

The structure of a house is such that it loses heat at a rate of 4500kJ/h per °C difference between the indoors and outdoors. A
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

15.24°C

Explanation:

The quality of any heat pump pumping heat from cold to hot place is determined by its coefficient of performance (COP) defined as

COP=\frac{Q_{in}}{W}

Where Q_{in} is heat delivered into the hot place, in this case, the house, and W is the work used to pump heat

You can think of this quantity as similar to heat engine's efficiency

In our case, the COP of our heater is

COP_{heater} = \frac{\frac{4500\ kJ}{3600\ s} *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4\ kW}

Where T_{house} = 24°C and T_{out} is temperature outside

To achieve maximum heating, we will have to use the most efficient heat pump, and, according to the second law of thermodynamics, nothing is more efficient that Carnot Heat Pump

Which has COP of:

COP_{carnot}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}

So we equate the COP of our heater with COP of Carnot heater

\frac{1.25 *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}

Rearrange the equation

\frac{1.25}{4}(24-T_{out})^2-24=0

Solve this simple quadratic equation, and you should get that the lowest outdoor temperature that could still allow heat to be pumped into your house would be

15.24°C
