Water enters the constant 130-mm inside-diameter tubes of a boiler at 7 MPa and 65°C and leaves the tubes at 6 MPa and 450°C wit

h a velocity of 72 m/s. Calculate the velocity of the water at the tube inlet and the inlet volume flow rate. The specific volumes of water at the inlet and exit are 0.001017 m3/kg and 0.05217 m3/kg.

The inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Explanation:

When water entering the tube of constant diameter flows through the tube, it exhibits continuity of mass in the hydrostatics. So the mass of water moving from the inlet to the outlet tend to be same, but the velocity may differ.

As per mass flow equality which states that the rate of flow of mass in the inlet is equal to the product of area of the tube with the velocity of the water and the density of the tube.

Since, the inlet volume flow is measured as the product of velocity with the area.

Inlet volume flow=Inlet velocity*Area*time

And the mass flow rate is  

Mass flow rate in the inlet=density*area*inlet velocity*time

Mass flow rate in the outlet=density*area*outlet velocity*time

Since, the time and area is constant, the inlet and outlet will be same as

(Mass inlet)/(density*inlet velocity)=Area*Time

(Mass outlet)/(density*outlet velocity)=Area*Time

As the ratio of mass to density is termed as specific volume, then  

(Specific volume inlet)/(Inlet velocity)=(Specific volume outlet)/(Outlet velocity)

Inlet velocity=  (Specific volume inlet)/(Specific volume outlet)*Outlet velocity

As, the specific volume of water at inlet is 0.001017 m³/kg and at outlet is 0.05217 m³/kg and the outlet velocity is given as 72 m/s, the inlet velocity

is

Inlet velocity = \frac{0.001017}{0.05217}*72 =1.4035 m/s

So, the inlet velocity is 1.4035 m/s.

Then the inlet volume will be

Inlet volume = inlet velocity*area of circle=\pi  r^{2}*inlet velocity

As the diameter of tube is 130 mm, then the radius is 65 mm and inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s

Inlet volume = 1.4*3.14*65*65*10^{-6} =0.019 \frac{m^{3} }{s}

So, the inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Thus, the inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9. 8 m/s2. What is the weight of a 75 kg person on Earth? 9. 8 N 75 N 85 N 735 N.
Illusion [34]

The weight of a 75 kg person on Earth, which has an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8m/s², is 735N.

CALCULATE WEIGHT:

Weight is a force, hence, measured in Newton. It is a function of an object's mass in relation to gravity.

Weight of an object can be calculated using the following formula:

W = mg

Where;

  • W = weight (N)
  • m = mass (kg)
  • g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

The weight of the person in this question can be calculated as follows:

W = 75 × 9.8

W = 735N

Therefore, the weight of a 75 kg person on Earth, which has an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8m/s², is 735N.

A mule pulls a cart of milk 10 meters with a force of 50 Newton's.Calculate the work done by a mule
san4es73 [151]

Work = Force x Distance

Assuming that this work is being done parallel to the displacement that is, but under that assumption:

W = (50)(10)

W = 500 J

Mass×acceleration of a triangle =force​
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The force acting on a body is always equal to the product of the mass of the body and its acceleration.

Explanation:

The force of a body is defined as the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

According to Newton's second law, wherever there is a change in momentum of the body for an interval of time, there is a force acting on it.

                         F = (mv - mu) / t

                             = m (v -u) /t

                              = m a

Where,

                                 (v - u)/t - is the change in velocity of the body in the interval of time. It is equal to the acceleration of the body.

Hence, the equation for the force for any body becomes, F = m x a
