In a home, air infiltrates from the outside through cracks around doors and windows. Consider a residence where the total length

of cracks is 62 m and the total internal volume is 210 m3 . Due to the wind, 9.4 x 10-5 kg/s of air enters per meter of crack and exits up a chimney. Assume air temperature is the same inside and out and air density is constant at 1.186 kg/m3 . If windows and doors are not opened or closed, estimate the time required for one complete air change in the building.

Answer:

Time period = 41654.08 s

Explanation:

Given data:

Internal volume is 210 m^3

Rate of air infiltration $9.4 \times 10^{-5} kg/s$

length of cracks 62 m

air density = 1.186 kg/m^3

Total rate of air infiltration $= 9.4\times 10^{-5} \times 62 = 582.8\times 10{-5} kg/s$

total volume of air infiltration $= \frac{582.8\times 10{-5}}{1.156} = 5.04\times 10^{-3} m^3/s$

Time period $= \frac{210}{5.04\times 10^{-3}} = 41654.08 s$

Underground water is to be pumped by a 78% efficient 5- kW submerged pump to a pool whose free surface is 30 m above the undergr

maksim [4K]

Answer:

a) The maximum flowrate of the pump is approximately 13,305.22 cm³/s

b) The pressure difference across the pump is approximately 293.118 kPa

Explanation:

The efficiency of the pump = 78%

The power of the pump = 5 -kW

The height of the pool above the underground water, h = 30 m

The diameter of the pipe on the intake side = 7 cm

The diameter of the pipe on the discharge side = 5 cm

a) The maximum flowrate of the pump is given as follows;

$P = \dfrac{Q \cdot \rho \cdot g\cdot h}{\eta_t}$

Where;

P = The power of the pump

Q = The flowrate of the pump

ρ = The density of the fluid = 997 kg/m³

h = The head of the pump = 30 m

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

$\eta_t$ = The efficiency of the pump = 78%

$\therefore Q_{max} = \dfrac{P \cdot \eta_t}{\rho \cdot g\cdot h}$

$Q_{max}$ = 5,000 × 0.78/(997 × 9.8 × 30) ≈ 0.0133 m³/s

The maximum flowrate of the pump $Q_{max}$ ≈ 0.013305 m³/s = 13,305.22 cm³/s

b) The pressure difference across the pump, ΔP = ρ·g·h

∴ ΔP = 997 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 30 m = 293.118 kPa

The pressure difference across the pump, ΔP ≈ 293.118 kPa

The output S/N at thereceiver must be greater than 40 dB. The audio signal has zero mean, maximum amplitude of 1, power of ½ Wan

abruzzese [7]

Given that,

The output signal at the receiver must be greater than 40 dB.

Maximum amplitude = 1

Bandwidth = 15 kHz

The power spectral density of white noise is

$\dfrac{N}{2}=10^{-10}\ W/Hz$

Power loss in channel= 50 dB

Suppose, Using DSB modulation

We need to calculate the power required

Using formula of power

$P_{L}_{dB}=10\log(P_{L})$

Put the value into the formula

$50=10\log(P_{L})$

$P_{L}=10^{5}\ W$

For DSB modulation,

Figure of merit = 1

We need to calculate the input signal

Using formula of FOM

$FOM=\dfrac{\dfrac{S_{o}}{N_{o}}}{\dfrac{S_{i}}{N_{i}}}$

$1=\dfrac{\dfrac{S_{o}}{N_{o}}}{\dfrac{S_{i}}{N_{i}}}$

$\dfrac{S_{i}}{N_{i}W}=\dfrac{S_{o}}{N_{o}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{S_{i}}{2\times10^{-10}\times15\times10^{3}}$

$\dfrac{S_{i}}{30\times10^{-7}}$

$S_{i}$

$S_{i}=30\times10^{-3}$

We need to calculate the transmit power

Using formula of power transmit

$S_{i}=\dfrac{P_{t}}{P_{L}}$

$P_{t}=S_{i}\times P_{L}$

Put the value into the formula

$P_{t}=30\times10^{-3}\times10^{5}$

$P_{t}=3\ kW$

We need to calculate the needed bandwidth

Using formula of bandwidth for DSB modulation

$bandwidth=2W$

Put the value into the formula

$bandwidth =2\times15$

$bandwidth = 30\ kHz$

Hence, The transmit power is 3 kW.

The needed bandwidth is 30 kHz.

Carbon dioxide at 20°C flows in a pipe at a rate of 0.005 kg/s. Determine the minimum diameter required if the flow is laminar (

Vesna [10]

Answer:

the required diameter is 0.344 m

Explanation:

given data:

flow is laminar

flow of carbon dioxide Q = 0.005 Kg/s

for flow to be laminar, Reynold's number must be less than 2300 for pipe flow and it is given as

$\frac{\rho VD}{\mu }$

arrange above equation for diameter

\frac{\rho Q D}{\mu A }<2300

dynamic density of carbon dioxide = 1.47× $10^{-5}$ Pa sec

density of carbon dioxide is 1.83 kg/m³

$\frac{1.83\times 0.0056\times D}{1.47\times 10^{-5}\times \frac{\pi}{4} \times D^{2} }$

$\frac{1.83\times 0.0056}{1.47\times 10^{-5}\times \frac{\pi}{4} \times 2300}= D$

D = 0.344 m
