Hydraulic engineers often use, as a unit of volume of water, the "acre-foot", defined as the volume of water that will cover 1 a

cre of land to a depth of 1 ft. A severe thunderstorm dumps 2.6 in. of rain in 30 min on a town of area 28 km2. What volume of water, in acre-feet, fell on the town?|

Conversion factors needed:

1 km^2 = 247.11 acres

1 ft = 12 inches.

Covert area and depth:

Area: 28 km^2 x 247.11acre/ 1km^2 = 6919.08 acres

Depth: 2.6 in x  1ft/12in. = 2.6/12 = 0.2167 ft.

Calculate volume:

Volume = area x depth

Volume = 6919.08 x 0.2167 ft = 1499.36 acre-foot

The roof of a refrigerated truck compartment consists of a layer of foamed urethane insulation (t2 = 21 mm, ki = 0.026 W/m K) be
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Tso = 28.15°C

Explanation:

given data

t2 = 21 mm

ki = 0.026 W/m K

t1 = 9 mm

kp = 180 W/m K

length of the roof is L = 13 m

net solar radiation into the roof = 107 W/m²

temperature of the inner surface Ts,i = -4°C

air temperature is T[infinity] = 29°C

convective heat transfer coefficient h = 47 W/m² K

solution

As when energy on the outer surface at roof of a refrigerated truck that is balance as

Q = \frac{T \infty - T si }{\frac{1}{hA}+\frac{t1}{AKp}+\frac{t2}{AKi}+\frac{t1}{aKp}}       .....................1

Q = \frac{T \infty - Tso}{\frac{1}{hA}}                         .....................2

now we compare both equation 1 and 2 and put here value

\frac{29-(-4)}{\frac{1}{47}+\frac{2\times0.009}{180}+\frac{0.021}{0.026}} = \frac{29-Tso}{\frac{1}{47}}            

solve it and we get

Tso = 28.153113

so Tso = 28.15°C

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three points in time we need to consider.  At point 0, the mango begins to fall from the tree.  At point 1, the mango reaches the top of the window.  At point 2, the mango reaches the bottom of the window.

We are given the following information:

y₁ = 3 m

y₂ = 3 m − 2.4 m = 0.6 m

t₂ − t₁ = 0.4 s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t₀ = 0 s

v₀ = 0 m/s

We need to find y₀.

Use a constant acceleration equation:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

Evaluated at point 1:

3 = y₀ + (0) t₁ + ½ (-9.8) t₁²

3 = y₀ − 4.9 t₁²

Evaluated at point 2:

0.6 = y₀ + (0) t₂ + ½ (-9.8) t₂²

0.6 = y₀ − 4.9 t₂²

Solve for y₀ in the first equation and substitute into the second:

y₀ = 3 + 4.9 t₁²

0.6 = (3 + 4.9 t₁²) − 4.9 t₂²

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − t₂²)

We know t₂ = t₁ + 0.4:

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − (t₁ + 0.4)²)

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − (t₁² + 0.8 t₁ + 0.16))

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − t₁² − 0.8 t₁ − 0.16)

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (-0.8 t₁ − 0.16)

0 = 2.4 − 3.92 t₁ − 0.784

0 = 1.616 − 3.92 t₁

t₁ = 0.412

Now we can plug this into the original equation and find y₀:

3 = y₀ − 4.9 t₁²

3 = y₀ − 4.9 (0.412)²

3 = y₀ − 0.83

y₀ = 3.83

Rounded to two significant figures, the height of the tree is 3.8 meters.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

diameter of the sprue at the bottom is 1.603 cm

Explanation:

Given data;

Flow rate, Q = 400 cm³/s

cross section of sprue: Round

Diameter of sprue at the top d_{top} = 3.4 cm

Height of sprue, h = 20 cm = 0.2 m

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s²

Calculate the velocity at the sprue base

V_{base} = √2gh

we substitute

V_{base} = √(2 × 9.81 m/s² × 0.2 m )

V_{base} = 1.98091 m/s

V_{base} = 198.091 cm/s

diameter of the sprue at the bottom will be;

Q = AV = (πd_{bottom}^2/4) × V_{base}

d_{bottom} = √(4Q/πV_{base})

we substitute our values into the equation;

d_{bottom} = √(4(400 cm³/s) / (π×198.091 cm/s))

d_{bottom}  = 1.603 cm

Therefore, diameter of the sprue at the bottom is 1.603 cm
