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%.

Please help: How do oxidation reactions help people with diabetes monitor their blood glucose levels? Thank you!!!
solong [7]

Answer:-

People with diabetes must monitor their blood glucose levels constantly.

Blood glucose levels are nowadays measured by the help of enzyme glucose oxidase. The enzyme glucose oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid.

By this way all of the glucose is measured at one time. At the same time hydrogen peroxide is produced.

The hydrogen peroxide reacts with a second color producing chemical. The concentration of the glucose can be related to the intensity of color produced

The rate constant for this second‑order reaction is 0.610 M − 1 ⋅ s − 1 0.610 M−1⋅s−1 at 300 ∘ C. 300 ∘C. A ⟶ products A⟶product
Darya [45]

Answer: It takes 3.120 seconds for the concentration of  A to decrease from 0.860 M to 0.260 M.

Explanation:

Integrated rate law for second order kinetics is given by:

\frac{1}{a}=kt+\frac{1}{a_0}

k = rate constant = 0.610M^{-1}s^{-1}

a_0 = initial concentration = 0.860 M

a= concentration left after time t = 0.260 M

\frac{1}{0.260}=0.860\times t+\frac{1}{0.860}

t=3.120s

Thus it takes 3.120 seconds for the concentration of  A to decrease from 0.860 M to 0.260 M.
