A smoking lounge is to accommodate 19 heavy smokers. The minimum fresh air requirement for smoking lounges is specified to be 30

L/s per person (ASHRAE, Standard 62, 1989). Determine the minimum required flow rate of fresh air that needs to be supplied to the lounge and the diameter of the duct if the air velocity is not to exceed 8 m/s. (Round the final answers to two and three decimal places, respectively.) The minimum required flow rate of fresh air that needs to be supplied to the lounge is m3/s. The diameter of the duct if the air velocity is not to exceed 8 m/s is m.

Answer 1: minimum required flow rate of fresh air is 0.57 m^3/ses

Explanation: since the minimum requirement per person is 30 L/sec

Converting to m^3 it becomes

30/1000 = 0.03 m^3/sec

For 19 heavy smoker we will require

19 * 0.03 = 0.57m^3/sec

Answer 2: diameter of the duct will be 0.3m

Explanation: since flow rate is

Q =0.57m^3/sec

Also

Q = AV (continuity equation)

Where A is the duct area and V is the velocity of air flow in m/sec

0.57m^3/sec = A * 8m/sec

A = 0.57/8 = 0.071m^2

Area of the duct is that of a circle

A = 3.142 *(d^2 ÷4)

d^2 = (0.017 * 4)/3.142 = 0.09

d is square root of 0.09

d = 0.3m

According to fire regulations in a town, the pressure drop in a commercial steel, horizontal pipe must not exceed 2.0 psi per 25
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

6.37 inch

Explanation:

Thinking process:

We need to know the flow rate of the fluid through the cross sectional pipe. Let this rate be denoted by Q.

To determine the pressure drop in the pipe:

Using the Bernoulli equation for mass conservation:

\frac{P1}{\rho } + \frac{v_{2} }{2g} +z_{1}  = \frac{P2}{\rho } + \frac{v2^{2} }{2g} + z_{2} + f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}

thus

\frac{P1-P2}{\rho }  = f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}

The largest pressure drop (P1-P2) will occur with the largest f, which occurs with the smallest Reynolds number, Re or the largest V.

Since the viscosity of the water increases with temperature decrease, we consider coldest case at T = 50⁰F

from the tables

Re= 2.01 × 10⁵

Hence, f = 0.018

Therefore, pressure drop, (P1-P2)/p = 2.70 ft

This occurs at ae presure change of 1.17 psi

Correlating with the chart, we find that the diameter will be D= 0.513

                                                                                                      = <u>6.37 in Ans</u>

Air expands through a turbine operating at steady state. At the inlet p1 = 150 lbf/in^2, T1 = 1400R and at the exit p2 = 14.8 lb
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The power developed in HP is 2702.7hp

Explanation:

Given details.

P1 = 150 lbf/in^2,

T1 = 1400°R

P2 = 14.8 lbf/in^2,

T2 = 700°R

Mass flow rate m1 = m2 = m = 11 lb/s Q = -65000 Btu/h

Using air table to obtain the values for h1 and h2 at T1 and T2

h1 at T1 = 1400°R = 342.9 Btu/h

h2 at T2 = 700°R = 167.6 Btu/h

Using;

Q - W + m(h1) - m(h2) = 0

W = Q - m (h2 -h1)

W = (-65000 Btu/h ) - 11 lb/s (167.6 - 342.9) Btu/h

W = (-65000 Btu/h ) - (-1928.3) Btu/s

W = (-65000 Btu/h ) * {1hr/(60*60)s} - (-1928.3) Btu/s

W = -18.06Btu/s + 1928.3 Btu/s

W = 1910.24Btu/s

Note; Btu/s = 1.4148532hp

W = 2702.7hp

2. A well of 0.1 m radius is installed in the aquifer of the preceding exercise and is pumped at a rate averaging 80 liter/min.
hodyreva [135]

Question:

The question is not complete. See the complete question and the answer below.

A well that pumps at a constant rate of 0.5m3/s fully penetrates a confined aquifer of 34 m thickness. After a long period of pumping, near steady state conditions, the measured drawdowns at two observation wells 50m and 100m from the pumping well are 0.9 and 0.4 m respectively. (a) Calculate the hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity of the aquifer (b) estimate the radius of influence of the pumping well, and (c) calculate the expected drawdown in the pumping well if the radius of the well is 0.4m.

Answer:

T = 0.11029m²/sec

Radius of influence = 93.304m

expected drawdown = 3.9336m

Explanation:

See the attached file for the explanation.

If a shear stress acts in one plane of an element, there must be an equal and opposite shear stress acting on a plane that is
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

90 degrees

Explanation:

In the case when the sheer stress acts in the one plane of an element so it should be equal and opposite also the shear stress acted on a plan i.e. 90 degrees from the plane

Therefore as per the given situation it should be 90 degrees from the plane

hence, the same is to be considered and relevant too
