Answer: 112 + 19.27

Explanation:

Super elevation is an inward transverse slope provided through out the length of the horizontal curve which ends up serving as a counteract to the centrifugal force and checks tendency of overturning. It changes from infinite radius to radius of a transition curve.

Super curve elevation (e) = 4%

4/100= 0.04

e= V^2/gR

Make R the subject of the formula.

egR= V^2

R= V^2/eg

V= 45mph

=45 × 0.44704m/s

=20.1168m/s

g (force due to gravity) =9.81

Therefore,

R= (20.1168)^2/9.81 × 0.04

= 1031.31m

Tangent Length( T) = PI - PC

Tangent Length= 10875 - 10500

=375m

T= R Tan(I/2)

375= 1031.31 × Tan(I/2)

I= 39.96

Also,

L= πRI/180

= 719.27m

Station PT= Stat PC+ L

10500 + 719.27

=11219.27

=112 + 19.27

Water of dynamic viscosity 1.12E-3 N*s/m2 flows in a pipe of 30 mm diameter. Calculate the largest flowrate for which laminar fl
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

For water

Flow rate= 0.79128*10^-3 Ns

For Air

Flow rate =1.2717*10^-3 Ns

Explanation:

For the flow rate of water in pipe.

Area of the pipe= πd²/4

Diameter = 30/1000

Diameter= 0.03 m

Area= 3.14*(0.03)²/4

Area= 7.065*10^-4

Flow rate = 7.065*10^-4*1.12E-3

Flow rate= 0.79128*10^-3 Ns

For the flow rate of air in pipe.

Flow rate = 7.065*10^-4*1.8E-5

Flow rate =1.2717*10^-3 Ns

Which one is dependent variable?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The dependent variable is MEDV - Median value of owner-occupied homes in $1000's

Explanation:

The median value of the house has to be predicted, based on its properties and neighborhood properties, this can be done by using a linear regression model.

The dependent variable in Machine Learning is the output variable that we want to predict.

Therefore, according to the question given "MEDV" is the dependent variable.

A heat pump cycle is used to maintain the interior of a building at 15°C. At steady state, the heat pump receives energy by heat
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

a) Ql=33120000 kJ

b) COP = 5.6

c) COPreversible= 29.3

Explanation:

a) of the attached figure we have:

HP is heat pump, W is the work supplied, Th is the higher temperature, Tl is the low temperature, Ql is heat supplied and Qh is the heat rejected. The worj is:

W=Qh-Ql

Ql=Qh-W

where W=2000 kWh

Qh=120000 kJ/h

Q_{l}=14days(\frac{24 h}{1 day})(\frac{120000 kJ}{1 h})-2000 kWh(\frac{3600 s}{1 h})=33120000 kJ

b) The coefficient of performance is:

COP=\frac{Q_{h} }{W}=\frac{120000 kJ/h*14(\frac{24 h}{1 day}) }{2000 kWh(\frac{3600 s}{1 h}) } = 5.6

c) The coefficient of performance of a reversible heat pump is:

COP_{reversible}=\frac{T_{h} }{T_{h}-T_{l}  }

Th=20+273=293 K

Tl=10+273=283K

Replacing:

COP_{reversible}=\frac{293}{293-283}=29.3
