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.

1. A glass window of width W = 1 m and height H = 2 m is 5 mm thick and has a thermal conductivity of kg = 1.4 W/m*K. If the inn

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

1. $\dot Q=19600\ W$

2. $\dot Q=120\ W$

Explanation:

1.

Given:

height of the window pane, $h=2\ m$

width of the window pane, $w=1\ m$

thickness of the pane, $t=5\ mm= 0.005\ m$

thermal conductivity of the glass pane, $k_g=1.4\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

temperature of the inner surface, $T_i=15^{\circ}C$

temperature of the outer surface, $T_o=-20^{\circ}C$

<u>According to the Fourier's law the rate of heat transfer is given as:</u>

$\dot Q=k_g.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

here:

A = area through which the heat transfer occurs = $2\times 1=2\ m^2$

dT = temperature difference across the thickness of the surface = $35^{\circ}C$

dx = t = thickness normal to the surface = $0.005\ m$

$\dot Q=1.4\times 2\times \frac{35}{0.005}$

$\dot Q=19600\ W$

2.

air spacing between two glass panes, $dx=0.01\ m$

area of each glass pane, $A=2\times 1=2\ m^2$

thermal conductivity of air, $k_a=0.024\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

temperature difference between the surfaces, $dT=25^{\circ}C$

<u>Assuming layered transfer of heat through the air and the air between the glasses is always still:</u>

$\dot Q=k_a.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

$\dot Q=0.024\times 2\times \frac{25}{0.01}$

$\dot Q=120\ W$

g If the rails are originally laid in contact, what is the stress in them on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0

Anettt [7]

A) The amount of space must be left between adjacent rails if they are just to touch on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C is; 0.6048 cm

B) The stress in the rails on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C is; 86.4 × 10⁶ Pa

<h3>Linear Thermal Expansion</h3>

We are given;

Length; L = 14 m

Initial Temperature; T_i = −5 °C

Final Temperature; T_f = 31 °C

The formula for Linear Thermal Expansion is;

ΔL = L_i * α * ΔT

where;

L_i is initial length

α is thermal expansion

ΔL is change in length

ΔT is change in temperature

Now, the thermal expansion of steel from online tables is α = 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ C⁻¹

Thus;

ΔL = 14 * 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ * (31 - (-5))

ΔL = 6.048 × 10⁻³ m = 0.6048 cm

The formula to get the stress is;

σ = Y * α * ΔT

where;

Y is young's modulus of steel = 20 × 10¹⁰ Pa

α is thermal expansion

ΔT is change in temperature

Thus;

σ = 20 × 10¹⁰ × 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ × (31 - (-5))

σ = 86.4 × 10⁶ Pa

The complete question is;

Steel train rails are laid in 14.0-m long segments placed end to end. The rails are laid on a winter day when their temperature is −5 °C.

(a) How much space must be left between adjacent rails if they are just to touch on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C?

(b) If the rails are originally laid in contact, what is the stress in them on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C?

A drilling operation is performed on a steel part using a 12.7 mm diameter twist drill with a point angle of 118 degrees. The ho

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

a. Rotational speed of the drill = 375.96 rev/min

b. Feed rate = 75 mm/min

c. Approach allowance = 3.815 mm

d. Cutting time = 0.67 minutes

e. Metal removal rate after the drill bit reaches full diameter. = 9525 mm³/min

Explanation:

Here we have

a. N = v/(πD) = 15/(0.0127·π) = 375.96 rev/min

b. Feed rate = fr = Nf = 375.96 × 0.2 = 75 mm/min

c. Approach allowance = tan 118/2 = (12.7/2)/tan 118/2 = 3.815 mm

d. Approach allowance T∞ =L/fr = 50/75 = 0.67 minutes

e. R = 0.25πD²fr = 9525 mm³/min.
