Hi. I would like to know why one side of an island can get more rain (more rain forms), while the other gets less.

The elevation might be higher causing more rain

Answer:

It's because the moisture in the air condenses much quicker at a higher elevation. When the air condenses, rain clouds are formed. The side the air comes from is called the windward side, which is where there is more rainfall.

A flow field is characterized by the stream function ψ= 3x2y−y3. Demonstrate thatthe flow field represents a two-dimensional inc
boyakko [2]

Answer:

δu/δx+δu/δy = 6x-6x =0

9r^2

Explanation:

The flow is obviously two-dimensional, since the stream function depends only on the x and y coordinate. We can find the x and y velocity components by using the following relations:  

u =δψ/δy = 3x^2-3y^2

v =-δψ/δx = -6xy

Now, since:  

δu/δx+δu/δy = 6x-6x =0

we conclude that this flow satisfies the continuity equation for a 2D incompressible flow. Therefore, the flow is indeed a two-dimensional incompressible one.  

The magnitude of velocity is given by:  

|V| = u^2+v^2

    =(3x^2-3y^2)^2+(-6xy)^2

    =9x^4+18x^2y^2+9y^2

    =(3x^2+3y^2)^2

    =9r^2

where r is the distance from the origin of the coordinates, and we have used that r^2 = x^2 + y^2.  

The streamline ψ = 2 is given by the following equation:  

3x^2y — y^3 = 2,

which is most easily plotted by solving it for x:  

x =±√2-y^3/y

Plot of the streamline is given in the graph below.  

Explanation for the plot: the two x(y) functions (with minus and plus signs) given in the equation above were plotted as functions of y, after which the graph was rotated to obtain a standard coordinate diagram. The "+" and "-" parts are given in different colors, but keep in mind that these are actually "parts" of the same streamline.

A closed system contains propane at 35°c. It produces 35 kW of work while absorbing 35 kW of heat. What is process? the temperat
salantis [7]

Answer:

35°c

Explanation:

Given data in question

heat = 35 kw

work = 35 kw

temperature = 35°c

To find out

temperature of the system after this process

Solution

we know that first law of thermodynamics is Law of Conservation of Energy

i.e  energy can neither be created nor destroyed and it can be transferred from one form to another form

first law of thermodynamics is energy (∆E) is sum of heat (q) and work (w)

here we know

35 = 35 + m Cv ( T - t )

35-35 = m Cv ( T-t )

T = t

here T = final temperature

t = initial temperature

it show final temp is equal to initial temp

so we can say temp after process is 35°c

A steam reformer operating at 650C and 1 atm uses propane as fuel for hydrogen production. At the given operating conditions, th
dusya [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) for shifting reactions,

Kps =  ph2 pco2/pcoph20

=[h2] [co2]/[co] [h2o]

h2 + co2 + h2O + co + c3H8 = 1

it implies that

H2 + 0.09 + H2O + 0.08 + 0.05 = 1

solving the system of equation yields

H2 = 0.5308,

H2O = 0.2942

B)  according to Le chatelain's principle for a slightly exothermic reaction, an increase in temperature favors the reverse reaction producing less hydrogen. As a result, concentration of hydrogen in the reformation decreases with an increasing temperature.

c) to calculate the maximum hydrogen yield , both reaction must be complete

C3H8 + 3H2O ⇒ 3CO + 7H2( REFORMING)

CO + H2O ⇒ CO2 + H2 ( SHIFTING)

C3H8 + 6H2O ⇒ 3CO2 + 10 H2 ( OVER ALL)

SO,

Maximum hydrogen yield

= 10mol h2/3 molco2 + 10molh2

= 0.77

⇒ 77%
