Water flows from the bottom of a large tank where the pressure is 100 psig through a pipe to a turbine which produces 5.82 hp. T

he pipe leading from the turbine is 60 ft below the bottom of the tank. In this pipe the pressure is 50psig, the velocity 70 ft/, and the flow rate 100 lb/s. If the friction loss in the system, excluding the turbine, is 40 ft*Ib/Ibm, find the efficiency of the turbine.

Explanation:

Bernoulli equation for the flow between bottom of the tank and pipe exit point is as follows.

   \frac{p_{1}}{\gamma} + \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} + z_{1} = \frac{p_{2}}{\gamma} + \frac{V^{2}_{2}}{2g} + z_{2} + h_{f} + h_{t}

    \frac{(100 \times 144)}{62.43} + 0 + h[tex] = [tex]\frac{(50 \times 144)}{(62.43)} + \frac{(70)^{2}}{2(32.2)} + 0 + 40 + 60

                          h = \frac{(50 \times 144)}{(62.43)} + \frac{(70)^{2}}{2(32.2)} + 40 + 60 - \frac{(100 \times 144)}{(62.43)}

                            = 60.76 ft

Hence, formula to calculate theoretical power produced by the turbine is as follows.

                                 P = mgh

                                     = 100 \times 60.76

                                     = 6076 lb.ft/s

                                     = 11.047 hp

Efficiency of the turbine will be as follows.

                \eta_{t} = \frac{P_{actual}}{P_{theoretical}} × 100%

                                = \frac{5.82}{11.047} \times 100%                      

                                = 52.684%

Thus, we can conclude that the efficiency of the turbine is 52.684%.

The molecular formula of the compound that we are required to find is the compound C4H8O8

<h3>What is empirical formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound is a formula that shows the ratio of each atom present in the compound. We will start by dividing each mass with the relative atomic mass of the atom.

Carbon -  48.38 g/12   Hydrogen - 6.74 g/1    Oxygen -  53.5 g/16

Carbon - 4                    Hydrogen - 6.74         Oxygen -  8.9

Dividing through by the lowest ratio;

Carbon - 4/4            Hydrogen -  6.74/4           Oxygen 8.9/4

Carbon   1               Hydrogen    2                     Oxygen  2

The empirical formula is CH2O2.

To obtain the molecular formula; brainly.com/question/11588623

The aldol reaction is catalyzed by acid as well as base. What is the reactive nucleophile in the acid-catalyzed aldol reaction
svp [43]

Answer:

The reactive nucleophile is Ketone.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, The process of acid - catalyzed aldol condensation starts from when ketone (or any aldehyde) is converted to an -enol, after which it attacks another ketone/aldehyde that has already been activated by parbonyl oxygen protonation.

The process of this is that first of all the ketone undergoes tautomerization to form -enol. Thereafter, the other carbonyl will undergo protonation which makes the carbon activated towards attack. Now, the nucleophilic enol will be added to the carbonyl in a [1,2]-addition reaction and we will now use deprotonation to obtain the neutral Aldol product.

Now, since only the ketone can produce an -enol, thus it is the nucleophile as aldehydes are better electrophiles

What happens to the ions when the drain is turned off? please help :] ❤️
kkurt [141]

Answer:

In a long channel MOSFET, the width of the pinch-off region is assumed small relative to the length of the channel. Thus, neither the length nor the voltage across the inversion layer change beyond the pinch-off, resulting in a drain current independent of drain bias. Consequently, the drain current saturates.

Please Help! It says fill in the blanks to complete the Punnett square below to show the results of a cross between a homozygous
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Genotypes: Homozygous (GG)=50%, Heterozygous (Gg)=50%.

Phenotypes: Homozygous gray (GG)=50%, Heterozygous gray (Gg)=50% or just Gray=100%

Explanation:

Hello,

The Punnett square for this cross turns into:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&G&g\\G&GG&Gg\\G&GG&Gg\end{array}\right]

It means that the genotypes and phenotypes are:

Genotypes: Homozygous (GG)=50%, Heterozygous (Gg)=50%.

Phenotypes: Homozygous gray (GG)=50%, Heterozygous gray (Gg)=50% or just Gray=100%

Best regards.

Enter your answer in the provided box. On a certain winter day in Utah, the average atmospheric pressure is 718 torr. What is th
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.047 mol/L

Explanation:

The atmospheric air is a mixture of gases. We can assume an ideal behavior of the gas and use the ideal gas equation:

PV= nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is a constant (0.082 L.atm/K.mol) and T is the temperature in K.

We have to first convert the pressure from Torr to atm:

760 Torr= 1 atm

⇒ 718 Torr x 1 atm/760 Torr = 0.945 atm

Then, we convert the temperature from ºC to K:

0ºC = 273 K

⇒ -29ºC+273= 244 K

Finally, we introduce the data in the equation and calculate de densitiy, which is the moles per liters of gas (n/V):

PV = nRT

n/V= P/RT

n/V = (0.945 atm)/(0.082 L.atm/K.mol x 244 K) = 0.047 mol/L
