Three groups of students are given study outlines for 6 weeks. One group studies 2 hours a night, a second group studies 1 hour

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The constant here is the study outline

Explanation:

In scientific research, the constant variable is that part/variable of the experiment that does not change or is set not to change. Examples include temperature, environment or height.

Assuming the scenery described in this question is an experiment. All the groups presented are bound by a constant during the experiment. The constant here is the study outline. The study outline provided to the students is not going to change.

NOTE: There could be confusion as regards the answer being the final exam grade but that will be the dependent variable as that will be the outcome of the experiment while the time spent to study will be the independent variable.

H2O enters a conical nozzle, operates at a steady state, at 2 MPa, 300 oC, with the inlet velocity 30 m/s and the mass flow rate

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The flow velocity at outlet is approximately 37.823 meters per second.

The inlet radius of the nozzle is approximately 0.258 meters.

Explanation:

A conical nozzle is a steady state device used to increase the velocity of a fluid at the expense of pressure. By First Law of Thermodynamics, we have the energy balance of the nozzle:

Energy Balance

$\dot m \cdot \left[\left(h_{in}+\frac{v_{in}^{2}}{2} \right)-\left(h_{out}+\frac{v_{out}^{2}}{2} \right)\right]= 0$ (1)

Where:

$\dot m$ - Mass flow, in kilograms per second.

$h_{in}$ , $h_{out}$ - Specific enthalpies at inlet and outlet, in kilojoules per second.

$v_{in}, v_{out}$ - Flow speed at inlet and outlet, in meters per second.

It is recommended to use water in the form of superheated steam to avoid the appearing of corrosion issues on the nozzle. From Property Charts of water we find the missing specific enthalpies:

Inlet (Superheated steam)

$p = 2000\,kPa$

$T = 300\,^{\circ}C$

$h_{in} = 3024.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$\nu_{in} = 0.12551\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

Where $\nu_{in}$ is the specific volume of water at inlet, in cubic meters per kilogram.

Outlet (Superheated steam)

$p = 600\,kPa$

$T = 160\,^{\circ}C$

$h_{out} = 2758.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

If we know that $\dot m = 50\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$ , $h_{in} = 3024.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$ , $h_{out} = 2758.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$ and $v_{in} = 30\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the flow speed at outlet is:
