A 25 lb sacrificial Mg anode is attached to the steel hull of a container ship. If the anode completely corrodes within 3 months

, what is the average current produced by the anode?

1 answer:

irakobra [83]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

The average current will be of 6.36 A.

Explanation:

The anode capacity of magnesium is C = 550 A*h/lb

A month has 30 days.

A day has 24 hours.

Therefore 3 months have:

t = 3 * 30 * 24 = 2160 hours.

The average current is then:

I = C * m / t

I = 550 * 25 / 2160 = 6.36 A

The average current will be of 6.36 A.

An 800-kg drag racer accelerates from rest to 390 km/hr in 5.8 s. What is the net impulse applied to the racer in the first 5.8

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Impulse =14937.9 N

tangential force =14937.9 N

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of car m= 800 kg

initial velocity u=0

Final velocity v=390 km/hr

Final velocity v=108.3 m/s

So change in linear momentum P= m x v

P= 800 x 108.3

P=86640 kg.m/s

We know that impulse force F= P/t

So F= 86640/5.8 N

F=14937.9 N

Impulse force F= 14937.9 N

We know that

v=u + at

108.3 = 0 + a x 5.8

$a=18.66\ m/s^2$

So tangential force F= m x a

F=18.66 x 800

F=14937.9 N

When the compression process is non-quasi-equilibrium, the molecules before the piston face cannot escape fast enough, forming a

muminat

Answer:

a. true

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to understand what takes places during the compression process in a quasi-equilibrium process. A quasi-equilibrium process is a process in during which the system remains very close to a state of equilibrium at all times. When a compression process is quasi-equilibrium, the work done during the compression is returned to the surroundings during expansion, no exchange of heat, and then the system and the surroundings return to their initial states. Thus a reversible process.

While for a non-quasi equilibrium process, it takes more work to move the piston against this high-pressure region.

Water is pumped steadily through a 0.10-m diameter pipe from one closed pressurized tank to another tank. The pump adds 4.0 kW o

jekas [21]

Complete Question

Complete Question is attached below.

Answer:

$V'=5m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Diameter $d=0.10m$

Power $P=4.0kW$

Head loss $\mu=10m$

$\frac{P_1}{\rho g}+\frac{V_1^2}{2g}+Z_1+H_m=\frac{P_2}{\rho g}+\frac{V_2^2}{2g}+Z_2+\mu$

$\frac{300*10^3}{\rho g}+35+Hm=\frac{500*10^3}{\rho g}+15+10$

$H_m=(\frac{200*10^3}{1000*9.8}-10)$

$H_m=10.39m$

Generally the equation for Power is mathematically given by

$P=\rho gQH_m$

Therefore

$Q=\frac{P}{\rho g H_m}$

$Q=\frac{4*10^4}{1000*9.81*10.9}$

$Q=0.03935m^3/sec$

Since

$Q=AV'$

Where

$A=\pi r^2\\A=3.142 (0.05)^2$

$A=7.85*10^{-3}$

Therefore

$V'=\frac{0.03935m^3/sec}{7.85*10^{-3}}$

$V'=5m/s$

A fire hose nozzle has a diameter of 1.125 in. According to some fire codes, the nozzle must be capable of delivering at least 2

Furkat [3]

Answer:

$P_{1} = 403,708\,kPa\,(58.553\,psi)$

Explanation:

Let assume that changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected. The fire hose nozzle is modelled by the Bernoulli's Principle:

$\frac{P_{1}}{\rho\cdot g} = \frac{P_{2}}{\rho \cdot g} + \frac{v^{2}}{2\cdot g}$

The initial pressure is:

$P_{1} = P_{2}+ \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho v^{2}$

The speed at outlet is:

$v=\frac{\dot Q}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}}$

$v=\frac{(250\,\frac{gal}{min} )\cdot (\frac{3.785\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{1\,gal} )\cdot(\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} )}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot [(1.125\,in)\cdot(\frac{0.0254\,m}{1\,in} )]^{2} }$

$v\approx 24.592\,\frac{m}{s}\,(80.682\,\frac{ft}{s} )$

The initial pressure is:

$P_{1} = 101.325\times 10^{3}\,Pa+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (24.592\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}$

$P_{1} = 403,708\,kPa\,(58.553\,psi)$
