Answer:

laminar flow

Explanation:

In fluid dynamics, laminar flow is characterized by fluid particles following smooth paths in layers, with each layer moving smoothly past the adjacent layers with little or no mixing.

The number of weaving errors in a twenty-foot by ten-foot roll of carpet has a mean of 0.8 What is the probability of observing
Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.14% probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet

Explanation:

When we only have the mean, we use the Poisson distribution.

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given interval.

The number of weaving errors in a twenty-foot by ten-foot roll of carpet has a mean of 0.8.

This means that \mu = 0.8

What is the probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet

Either we observe 4 or less errors, or we observe more than 4. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So

P(X \leq 4) + P(X > 4) = 1

We want P(X > 4). Then

P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4)

In which

P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.4493

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3595

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.1438

P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0383

P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.0077

P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.4493 + 0.3595 + 0.1438 + 0.0383 + 0.0077 = 0.9986

P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4) = 1 - 0.9986 = 0.0014

0.14% probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

the length of the bridge B is L = m - 5555 ft

Explanation:

Denoting the length of the bridge B as L we get

length of bridge B = length of bridge A - 5555 ft

since length of bridge A=m

L = m - 5555 ft

For an Otto cycle, plot the cycle efficiency as a function of compression ratio from 4 to 16.
Elza [17]

Assumptions:

  • Steady state.
  • Air as working fluid.
  • Ideal gas.
  • Reversible process.
  • Ideal Otto Cycle.

Explanation:

Otto cycle is a thermodynamic cycle widely used in automobile engines, in which an amount of gas (air) experiences changes of pressure, temperature, volume, addition of heat, and removal of heat. The cycle is composed by (following the P-V diagram):

  • Intake <em>0-1</em>: the mass of working fluid is drawn into the piston at a constant pressure.
  • Adiabatic compression <em>1-2</em>: the mass of working fluid is compressed isentropically from State 1 to State 2 through compression ratio (r).

        r =\frac{V_1}{V_2}

  • Ignition 2-3: the volume remains constant while heat is added to the mass of gas.
  • Expansion 3-4: the working fluid does work on the piston due to the high pressure within it, thus the working fluid reaches the maximum volume through the compression ratio.

         r = \frac{V_4}{V_3} = \frac{V_1}{V_2}

  • Heat Rejection 4-1: heat is removed from the working fluid as the pressure drops instantaneously.
  • Exhaust 1-0: the working fluid is vented to the atmosphere.

If the system produces enough work, the automobile and its occupants will propel. On the other hand, the efficiency of the Otto Cycle is defined as follows:

           \eta = 1-(\frac{1}{r^{\gamma - 1} } )

where:

           \gamma = \frac{C_{p} }{C_{v}} : specific heat ratio

Ideal air is the working fluid, as stated before, for which its specific heat ratio can be considered constant.

           \gamma = 1.4

Answer:

See image attached.
