At cruise conditions, air flows into a jet engine at a steady rate of 60 lbm/s. Fuel enters the engine at a steady rate of 0.59

lbm/s. The average velocity of the exhaust gases is 1485 ft/s relative to the engine. If the engine exhaust effective cross-sectional area is 4.0 ft2, estimate the density of the exhaust gases in lbm/ft3.

Answer:

ρ=0.0102lbm/ft^3

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must take into account the equation of continuity, this indicates that the sum of the mass flows that enter a system is equal to the sum of all those that leave.

Therefore, to find the mass flow of exhaust gases we must add the mass flows of air and fuel.

m=0.59+60=60.59lbm/s( mass flow of exhaust gases)

The equation that defines the mass flow (amount of mass that passes through a pipe per unit of time) is as follows

m=ρVA

Where

ρ=density

V=velocity

m=mass flow

A=cross-sectional area

solving for density

ρ=m/VA

ρ=60.59/{(1485)(4)}

ρ=0.0102lbm/ft^3

If a drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.350 mm by the time it reaches the end of the deflection plate, what magnitude of c
Sloan [31]

Answer:

q = 4.87 X 10^ -14 C

Explanation:

As d=0.350 mm

The ink drop will be accelerated by the electric field between the plates:

a = F/m

d = a(D0 / v)^2 / 2 ...... 1

a = qE/m ............... 2

Substituting 2  into 1:

d = (qE/m)(D0 / v)^2 / 2

q = 2mdv^2 / [E(D0)^2]

q = 2(1.00e-11 kg)(3.50e-4 m)(15.0 m/s)^2 / [(7.70e4 N/C)(2.05e-2 m)^2]

q = 4.87e-14 C

Nitrogen is used to protect steel from water because nitrogen has ________.
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Nitrogen is used to protect steel from water because nitrogen has low reactivity.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is very low reactive element because it forms a gas when triple bond between two Nitrogen atoms. Due to low reactivity of Nitrogen the water does not react with the nitrogen and steel as well. So, for protection of steel Nitrogen is used.

Write 8.54 x 103 in standard notation<br> a. 854,000<br> b. 85,400<br> c. 8,540<br> d. 854
weeeeeb [17]
B. 8540, (assuming you meant 8.54 x 10 to the power 3) you move the decimal point 3 places to the right, if the decimal point can't pass any more numbers add zeros. If it confuses you to think of it this way do 10 cubed first, i.e. 10 x 10 x10 = 1000 and then do 8.54 x 1000 if thats easier for you.

A temperature measuring device should be placed in the __________ area of the refrigerated holding unit.
STatiana [176]
<span>A temperature measuring device should be placed in the "warmest" area of the refrigerated holding unit. The reason for this is because all foods must be stored in the minimum temperature required. If not stored properly the foods become hazardous. It is important to place the thermometer in the accurate location in reference to this question it is in the warmest location. The reasoning behind this is that if placed in the coldest location it may not represent an accurate temperature based on the entire unit.</span>
