Answer:

a) normal depth, yn = 3.7ft

b) Froude number, Fr = 0.49

c) Critical depth, yc = 2.3 ft; Velocity, v = 5.4ft/s

d) Critical slope, Sc = 14.784

e) subcritical

Explanation:

Width , b= 20ft,

Bed slope, s= 0.007

Manning's roughness coefficient, n = 0.03

Discharge, Q= 400 cfs

a) normal depth, yn

Q = A(1/n x R⅔ x s½)

A = b x yn, R = b.yn/(b + 2yn)

Substituting values,

400 = 20(yn)/0.03 x (20 x yn/20 + 2yn)⅔ x (0.007)½

Simplifying further,

yn^(5/2) - 1.918yn = 19.18

Using trial and error,

yn = 3.7ft

Therefore the normal depth is 3.7 ft

b) Froude number, Fr = v/√gD

Where D is hydraulic depth given as ,

D = A/T

D = yn (for rectangular channel

Acceleration, g = 32.71 ft/s²

V = Q/A

Fr = 400/(20x3.7)x√(32.71 x 3.7)

Fr = 0.49

c) critical depth, yc = (Q²/gb²)⅓

yc = (400²/32.71*20²)⅓

yc = 2.3 ft

Velocity, v = Q/A

v = 400/(3.7*20)

v = 5.4ft/s

d) critical slope ,Sc

Sc = (Qyc = 2.3 ftn/1.49Ac(Rhc)⅔)²

Ac = b x yc, Rhc = (Ac/b + 2yc)⅔

Substituting,

Sc = (400/1.49 x 20 x 2.3 x ( 20 x 2.3 / 20 + (2 x 2.3))⅔)2

Sc = 14.784

e) since the normal depth is greater than critical depth, it is subcritical.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a) the two-way concrete joist framing system

Explanation:

A waffle slab is also known as ribbed slab, it is a slab which as waffle like appearance with holes beneath. It is adopted in construction projects that has long length, length more than 12m. The waffle slab is rigid, therefore it is used in building that needs minimal vibration.

A double-pane insulated window consists of two 1 cm thick pieces of glass separated by a 1.8 cm layer of air. The window measure
Elanso [62]

Answer:

(b). T = 22.55 ⁰C

(c). q = 557.8 W

Explanation:

we take follow a step by step process to solving this problem.

from the question, we have that

The two glass pieces is separated by a 1.8 cm distance layer of air.

the thickness of glass piece is 1 cm

width = 4 m

the height = 3 m

(a). the sketch of the thermal circuit is uploaded in the picture below.

(b).  the thermal resistance due to the conduction in the first glass plane is given thus;

R₁ = Lg / Kg A ................(1)

given that Kg rep. the thermal conductivity of the glass plane

A = conduction surface area

Lg = Thickness of glass plane4

taking the thermal conductivity of glass plane as Kg = 0.78 w/mk

inputting values into equation (1) we have,

R₁ = [1 (cm) ˣ 1 (m)/100 (cm)] / [(0.78 w/mk)(4m ˣ 3m)]

R₁ = 1.068 ˣ 10 ⁻³ k/w

Being that we have same thermal resistance in the first and second plane,

therefore R₁ = R₃ = 1.068 ˣ 10 ⁻³ k/w

⇒ Also the thermal resistance between air and glass as a result of the conduction by the layer is given thus

R₂ = La/KaA .....................(2)

given Ka = thermal conductivity of air

A = surface area

La = thickness of air

substituting values into the equation we have

R₂ = [1.8 (cm) ˣ 1 (m)/100 (cm)] / [(0.0262 w/mk)(4m ˣ 3m)]

R₂ = 5.73 ˣ 10⁻² k/w

Given the thermal resistance on the outer surface due to convection, we have

R₄ = 1/hA

inputting value gives R₄ = 1 / (12 w/m² ˣ 12m) = 6.94 ˣ 10⁻³k/w

R₄ = 6.94 ˣ 10⁻³k/w

Finally the sum total of thermal resistance = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + R₄

R-total = 0.0663 kw

From this we can calculate the rate of heat loss

using  q = Ti - To / R-total ..............(3)

given Ti and To is the inside and outside temperature i.e. 27⁰C and -10⁰C

from equation (3),

q = 27- (-10) / 0.0063 = 557.8 W

q = 557.8 W  

⇒ Applying the heat transfer formula for inside surface glass temperature gives;

q = Ti - T₂ / R₃ + R₄

T₂ = Ti - q (R₃ + R₄)

T₂ = 27 - 557.8 (1.068ˣ10⁻³ + 6.94ˣ10⁻³ ) = 22.55°C

T₂ = 22.55°C

cheers i hope this helps

A(n) is a detailed, structured diagram or drawing.
monitta

Answer:

Schematics

Explanation:

A schematic is a detailed structured diagram or drawing. It employs illustrations to help the viewer understand detailed information on the machine or object being described. Its main aim is not to help the observer know what the object looks like physically. It is rather aimed at helping the viewer know how the machine works. This is achieved by only including key and important details to the drawing.

It is most times used in the blueprint and user guides of machines and gadgets used in the home to help users know how these things work so that they can do little fixings should there be such needs.
