Storm sewer backup causes your basement to flood at the steady rate of 1 in. of depth per hour. The basement floor area is 2600

ft2. What capacity (gal/min) pump would you rent to (a) keep the water accumulated in your basement at a constant level until the storm sewer is blocked off, and (b) reduce the water accumulation in your basement at a rate of 3 in./hr even while the backup problem exists?

If the tank is designed to withstand a pressure of 5 MPaMPa, determine the required minimum wall thickness to the nearest millim
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: hello some aspects of your question is missing below is the missing information

The gas tank is made from A-36 steel and has an inner diameter of 1.50 m.

answer:

≈ 22.5 mm

Explanation:

Given data:

Inner diameter = 1.5 m

pressure = 5 MPa

factor of safety = 1.5

<u>Calculate the required minimum wall thickness</u>

maximum-shear-stress theory ( σ allow ) = σγ / FS

                                                  = 250(10)^6 / 1.5  = 166.67 (10^6) Pa

given that |σ| = σ allow  

3.75 (10^6) / t = 166.67 (10^6)

∴ t ( wall thickness ) = 0.0225 m   ≈ 22.5 mm

Special considerations must be given to systems using liquid hydrogen for fuel because of: A. Liquid hydrogen's low density B. L
vitfil [10]

Answer:

D.All of the above

Explanation:

Properties of hydrogen:

1.It is lighter than air.It has density about 0.089 g/L.

2.Hydrogen  rapidly change from liquid state to gas,so special protection is required to protect it.

3.It is highly flammable gas.

4.Liquid form of hydrogen exits at -432 F .This is very low temperature so special protection requires to keep it in liquid form.

When they say in the United States that a car’s tire is filled “to 32 lb,”​ they mean that <br>its internal pressure is 32 lbf/i
arsen [322]

Answer:

0.71 lbf

Explanation:

Use ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is absolute pressure,

V is volume,

n is number of moles,

R is universal gas constant,

and T is absolute temperature.

The absolute pressure is the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the gauge pressure.

P = 32 lbf/in² + 14.7 lbf/in²

P = 46.7 lbf/in²

Absolute temperature is in Kelvin or Rankine:

T = 75 + 459.67 R

T = 534.67 R

Given V = 3.0 ft³, and R = 10.731 ft³ psi / R / lb-mol:

PV = nRT

(46.7 lbf/in²) (3.0 ft³) = n (10.731 ft³ psi / R / lb-mol) (534.67 R)

n = 0.02442 lb-mol

The molar mass of air is 29 lbm/lb-mol, so the mass is:

m = (0.02442 lb-mol) (29 lbm/lb-mol)

m = 0.708 lbm

The weight of 1 lbm is lbf.

W = 0.708 lbf

Rounded to two significant figures, the weight of the air is 0.71 lbf.

Why is it important to know the accuracy and precision of a measuring device? Do you think that the dial caliper manufacturer’s
Leto [7]

Answer:

Accuracy and precision allow us to know how much we can rely on a measuring device readings. ±.001 as a "accuracy" claim is vague because there is no unit next to the figure and the claim fits better to the definition of precision.

Explanation:

Accuracy and Precision: the golden couple.

Accuracy and precision are key elements to define if a measuring device is reliable or not for a specific task. Accuracy determines how close are the readings from the ideal/calculated values. On the other hand, precision refers to repeatability, that is to say how constant the readings of a device are when measuring the same element at different times. One of those two key concepts may not fulfill the criteria for measuring tool to be used on certain engineering projects where lack of accuracy (disntant values from real ones) or precision (not constant readings) may lead to malfunctons and severe delays on the project development.

±.001 what unit?

The manufacturer says that is an accuracy indicator, nevertheless there is now unit stated so this is not useful to see how accurate the device is. Additionally, That notation is more used to refer to device tolerances, that is to say the range of possible values the instrument may show when reading and element. It means it tells us more about the device precision during measurments than actual accuracy. I would recommend the following to the dial calipers manufacturers to better explain its measurement specifications:

  1. Use  ±.001 as  a reference for precision. It is important to add the respective unit for that figure.
  2. Condcut test to define the actual accuracy value an present it using one of the common used units for that:  Error percentage or ppm.
