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.

4.2 A vapor compression refrigeration machine uses 30kW of electric power to produce 50 tons of cooling. What is
stellarik [79]

Answer:

5.833

Explanation:

Coefficient of Perfomance (COP) is the ratio of refrigeration effect to power input.

COP=\frac {RE}{P} where RE is refrigeration effect and P is power input

Here, the power input is given as 30 kW

We also know that 1 ton cooling is equivalent to 3.5 kW hence for 50 tons, RE=50*3.5=175 kW

Now the COP=\frac {175}{30}=5.833

If the old radiator is replaced with a new one that has longer tubes made of the same material and same thickness as those in th
Nookie1986 [14]

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

The radiator of a car is a type of heat exchanger. Hot fluid coming from the car engine, called the coolant, flows through aluminum radiator tubes of thickness d that release heat to the outside air by conduction. The average temperature gradient between the coolant and the outside air is about 130 K/mm . The term ΔT/d  is called the temperature gradient which is the temperature difference ΔT between coolant inside and the air outside per unit thickness of tube

answer : Total surface area = 3/2 * area of old radiator

Explanation:

we will use this relation

K = \frac{Qd }{A* change in T }

change in T =  ΔT  

therefore New Area  ( A ) = 3/2 * area of old radiator

Given that the thermal conductivity is the same in the new and old radiators
