Answer:

(a) 11.437 psia

(b) 13.963 psia

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by a fluid can be estimated by multiplying the density of the fluid, acceleration due to gravity and the depth of the fluid. To determine the fluid density, we have:

fluid density = specific gravity * density of water = 1.25 * 62.4 lbm/ft^3 = 78 lbm/ft^3

height = 28 in * (1 ft/12 in) = 2.33 ft

acceleration due to gravity = 32.174 ft/s^2

The change in pressure = fluid density*acceleration due to gravity*height = 78*32.174*(28/12) = 5855.668 lbm*ft/(s^2 * ft^2) = 5855.668 lbf/ft^2

The we convert from lbf/ft^2 to psi:

(5855.668/32.174)*0.00694 psi = 1.263 psi

(a) pressure = atmospheric pressure - change in pressure = 12.7 - 1.263 = 11.437 psia

(b) pressure = atmospheric pressure + change in pressure = 12.7 + 1.263 = 13.963 psia

State two main consumers of electricity transmitted at low frequency Calculate the primary voltage of a transformer if the prima
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

1) a. Customers requiring AC electric power transmission for powering remote devices which may include a subsea transmission system where power is distributed to subsea devices

b. Customers that utilize commutator-type motors

2) The primary voltage is 150 volts

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Number of primary winding, N_p = 50 turns

Number of secondary winding, N_s = 150 turns

Voltage in secondary winding, V_s = 450 volts

Voltage in primary winding = V_p

The relation between N_p, N_s, V_s and V_p is as follows;

\dfrac{V_p}{V_s}  = \dfrac{N_p}{N_s}

Which gives;

V_p  = \dfrac{N_p \times V_s}{N_s}

From which we have;

V_p  = \dfrac{50\times 450}{150} = 150 \ volts

The primary voltage = 150 volts.

Using Von Karman momentum integral equation, find the boundary layer thickness, the displacement thickness, the momentum thickne
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Kindly check Explanation section.

Explanation:

NB: please check the attachment for the solution to:  the boundary layer thickness, the displacement thickness, the momentum thickness the wall shear stress, the friction coefficient, and the drag coefficient for a flat plate with zero pressure gradient in a laminar flow.

===============================

So,for the solution the second part of the question that asked us to state;

What happens if we add a constant positive pressure gradient?

SOLUTION: Whenever we have dp/dx > 0 that is a positive pressure gradient then, we are going to have what is known as a divergent flow which makes pressure to increase in the direction of flow. The pressure will be minimum around the centre. Also, as the velocity decreases(velocity gradient becomes negative), the area of flow increases.

Given the following code, what indexes must be passed to the substring method to produce the new String with the value "SCORE"?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

For expr1 = index 5, length 5

For expr2 = index 0, length 4 and index 21, length 5

string quote = "Four score and seven years ago";

           string expr1 = quote.Substring(5, 5).ToUpper(); // "SCORE"  

           string expr2 = quote.Substring(0, 4) + quote.Substring(21, 5).ToLower(); // "fouryears"

           Console.WriteLine(expr1);

           Console.WriteLine(expr2);

Explanation:

Then code is written in c# and it produces SCORE and f
