A fluid with a relative density of 0.9 flows in a pipe which is 12 m long and lies at an angle of 60° to the horizontal At the t

op, the pipe has a diameter of 30 mm and a pressure gauge indicates a pressure of 860 kPa. At the bottom the diameter is 85 mm and a pressure gauge reading is 1 MPa. Assume the losses are negligible and determine the flov rate. Does the flow direction matter?

Answer:

$Q=7.3\times 10^{-3} m^3/s$

Explanation:

Given that

At top $d_2=30 mm,P_2=860 KPa ,P_1=1000 KPa,d_1=85 mm$

$\rho =900\dfrac{Kg}{m^3}$

We know that

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

$A_1V_1=A_2V_2$

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\left(\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}\right)^2$

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\left(\dfrac{30}{85}\right)^2$

$V_2=8.02V_1$

$Z_2=12 sin60^{\circ}$

$\dfrac{1000\times 1000}{900\times 9.81}+\dfrac{V_1^2}{2\times 9.81}+0=\dfrac{860\times 1000}{900\times 9.81 }+\dfrac{V_2^2}{2\times 9.81}+12 sin60^{\circ}$

So $V_1=1.30$ m/s

We know that flow rate Q=AV

$Q=A_1V_1$

By putting the values

$A_1=\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

$Q=7.3\times 10^{-3} m^3/s$

To find the flow rate we do not need the direction of flow,because we are just doing balancing of energy at inlet and at the exits of pipe.

Differentiate between isohyetal method and arithmetical average method of rainfall

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

The isohyetal method is one used in estimating Rainfall whereby the mean precipitation across an area is gotten by drawing lines that have equal precipitation. This is done by the use of topographic and other data to yield reliable estimates.

Whereas, the arithmetic method is used to calculate true precipitation by the way of getting the arithmetic mean of all the points or arial measurements that will be considered in the analysis.

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

A working with machinery be a common type of caught-in and caught-between hazard is described below in complete detail.

Explanation:

“Caught in-between” accidents kill mechanics in a variety of techniques. These incorporate cave-ins and other hazards of tunneling activity; body parts extracted into unconscious machinery; reaching within the swing range of cranes and other installation material; caught between machine & fixed objects.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

beam with a span length of 10 ft, a width of 8 in, and an effective depth of 20 in. Normal weight concrete is used for the beam. This beam carries a total factored load of 9.4 kips. The beam is reinforced with tensile steel, which continues uninterrupted into the support. The concrete has a strength of 4000 psi, and the yield strength of the steel is 60,000 psi. Using No. 3 bars and 60,000 psi steel for stirrups, do the followings:

A four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine has a bore of 3.7 in. and a stroke of 3.4 in. The clearance volume is 16

Bad White [126]

Answer:

the net work per cycle $\mathbf{W_{net} = 0.777593696}$ Btu per cycle

the power developed by the engine, W = 88.0144746 hp

Explanation:

the information given includes;

diameter of the four-cylinder bore = 3.7 in

length of the stroke = 3.4 in

The clearance volume = 16% = 0.16

The cylindrical volume $V_2 = 0.16 V_1$

the crankshaft N rotates at a speed of 2400 RPM.

At the beginning of the compression , temperature $T_1$ = 60 F = 519.67 R

and;

Otto cycle with a pressure = 14.5 lbf/in² = (14.5 × 144 ) lb/ft²

= 2088 lb/ft²

The maximum temperature in the cycle is 5200 R

From the given information; the change in volume is:

$V_1-V_2 = \dfrac{\pi}{4}D^2L$

$V_1-0.16V_1= \dfrac{\pi}{4}(3.7)^2(3.4)$

$V_1-0.16V_1= 36.55714291$

$0.84 V_1 =36.55714291$

$V_1 =\dfrac{36.55714291}{0.84 }$

$V_1 =43.52040823 \ in^3 \\ \\ V_1 = 43.52 \ in^3$

$V_1 = 0.02518 \ ft^3$

the mass in air ( lb) can be determined by using the formula:

$m = \dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT}$

where;

R = 53.3533 ft.lbf/lb.R°

$m = \dfrac{2088 \ lb/ft^2 \times 0.02518 \ ft^3}{53.3533 \ ft .lbf/lb.^0R \times 519 .67 ^0 R}$

m = 0.0018962 lb

From the tables of ideal gas properties at Temperature 519.67 R

$v_{r1} =158.58$

$u_1 = 88.62 Btu/lb$

At state of volume 2; the relative volume can be determined as:

$v_{r2} = v_{r1} \times \dfrac{V_2}{V_1}$

$v_{r2} = 158.58 \times 0.16$

$v_{r2} = 25.3728$

The specific energy $u_2$ at $v_{r2} = 25.3728$ is 184.7 Btu/lb

From the tables of ideal gas properties at maximum Temperature T = 5200 R

$v_{r3} = 0.1828$

$u_3 = 1098 \ Btu/lb$

To determine the relative volume at state 4; we have:

$v_{r4} = v_{r3} \times \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}$

$v_{r4} =0.1828 \times \dfrac{1}{0.16}$

$v_{r4} =1.1425$

The specific energy $u_4$ at $v_{r4} =1.1425$ is 591.84 Btu/lb

Now; the net work per cycle can now be calculated as by using the following formula:

$W_{net} = Heat \ supplied - Heat \ rejected$

$W_{net} = m(u_3-u_2)-m(u_4 - u_1)$

$W_{net} = m(u_3-u_2- u_4 + u_1)$

$W_{net} = m(1098-184.7- 591.84 + 88.62)$

$W_{net} = 0.0018962 \times (1098-184.7- 591.84 + 88.62)$

$W_{net} = 0.0018962 \times (410.08)$

$\mathbf{W_{net} = 0.777593696}$ Btu per cycle

the power developed by the engine, in horsepower. can be calculated as follows;

In the four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine; the power developed by the engine can be calculated by using the expression:

$W = 4 \times N' \times W_{net$

where ;

$N' = \dfrac{2400}{2}$

N' = 1200 cycles/min

N' = 1200 cycles/60 seconds

N' = 20 cycles/sec

W = 4 × 20 cycles/sec × 0.777593696

W = 62.20749568 Btu/s

W = 88.0144746 hp

Explain three (3) modes of heat transfer in air conditioning system.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

1. Conduction

2. Convection

3. Radiation

Explanation:

The 3 modes of heat transfer i an air conditioning system:

1. Conduction:

The transfer of heat by conduction takes place in solid and is when the conduction takes place as a result of direct contact in between the interacting material which transfer the heat energy from particle to particle thus conducting the heat through out the system.

2. Convection:

The other mode for the transfer of heat which takes place especially in fluids - gases and liquids is through the technique of convection in which the transfer of heat takes place by the circular motion of the atoms and molecules of the fluid which carries the heat energy and results in the distribution of the heated fluid in the entire system thus transferring all the heat energy in the entire system.

3. Radiation:

The third mode of heat transfer in the air conditioning system is through radiation. This method transfers the heat by making use of the electro-magnetic radiation in the infra red spectrum where the waves of the spectrum transfers the heat energy with the help of a medium or without any medium at all.

Thus making the radiation method of heat transfer as the only method out of the three methods which does not require the material medium for the transfer of heat energy.
