Answer: 24.2

Explanation:

Given that:

Time taken for sound travel = 0.02 seconds

Speed of traveling sound wave = 1210 m/s

Depth of pond = ?

Recall that speed is obtained by dividing the distance covered (depth travelled) by the time taken.

Hence, speed = (depth travelled / time taken)

1210 m/s = depth travelled / 0.02 seconds

Depth travelled = 1210 m/s x 0.02 seconds

Depth travelled = 24.2 m

Thus, the pond is 24.2 metres deep

Air enters a nozzle steadily at 2.21 kg/m3 and 20 m/s and leaves at 0.762 kg/m3 and 150 m/s. If the inlet area of the nozzle is

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

a) The mass flow rate through the nozzle is 0.27 kg/s.

b) The exit area of the nozzle is 23.6 cm².

Explanation:

a) The mass flow rate through the nozzle can be calculated with the following equation:

$\dot{m_{i}} = \rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i}$

Where:

$v_{i}$ : is the initial velocity = 20 m/s

$A_{i}$ : is the inlet area of the nozzle = 60 cm²

$\rho_{i}$ : is the density of entrance = 2.21 kg/m³

$\dot{m} = \rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i} = 2.21 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}*20 \frac{m}{s}*60 cm^{2}*\frac{1 m^{2}}{(100 cm)^{2}} = 0.27 kg/s$

Hence, the mass flow rate through the nozzle is 0.27 kg/s.

b) The exit area of the nozzle can be found with the Continuity equation:

$\rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i} = \rho_{f} v_{f}A_{f}$

$0.27 kg/s = 0.762 kg/m^{3}*150 m/s*A_{f}$

$A_{f} = \frac{0.27 kg/s}{0.762 kg/m^{3}*150 m/s} = 0.00236 m^{2}*\frac{(100 cm)^{2}}{1 m^{2}} = 23.6 cm^{2}$

Therefore, the exit area of the nozzle is 23.6 cm².
