Stream Piracy – Kaaterskill, NY. Check and double-click the Problem 15 folder. The dark blue and orange streams highlight the pr

ocess of stream piracy/stream capture (i.e., they are pirating/capturing the headwaters of the cyan and magenta streams, respectively). Which of the following helps promote this?
a. The pirating streams are larger and can hold more water than the other streams.
b. The pirating streams are eroding headwardly to intersect more of the other streams’ drainage basins, causing water to be diverted down their steeper gradients.
c. The land to the west is being uplifted.
d. Landslides have diverted the water into the stream pirates.

Answer:

b. The pirating streams are eroding headwardly to intersect more of the other streams’ drainage basins, causing water to be diverted down their steeper gradients.

Explanation:

From the Kaaterskill NY 15 minute map (1906), this shows two classic examples of stream capture.

The Kaaterskill Creek flow down the east relatively steep slopes into the Hudson River Valley. While, the Gooseberry Creek is a low gradient stream flowing down the west direction which in turn drains the higher parts of the Catskills in this area.

However, there is Headward erosion of Kaaterskill Creek which resulted to the capture of part of the headwaters of Gooseberry Creek.

The evidence for this is the presence of "barbed" (enters at obtuse rather than acute angle) tributary which enters Kaaterskill Creek from South Lake which was once a part of the Gooseberry Creek drainage system.

It should be noted again, that there is drainage divide between the Gooseberry and Kaaterskill drainage systems (just to the left of the word Twilight) which is located in the center of the valley.

As it progresses, this divide will then move westward as Kaaterskill captures more and more of the Gooseberry system.

In the construction of a large reactor pressure vessel, a new steel alloy with a plane strain fracture toughness of 55 MPa-m1/2
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

l=24mm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Plane strain fracture toughness of T=55 MPa-m1/2

Y value Y=1.0

Stress level of\sigma =200 MPa

Generally the equation for length of a surface crack is mathematically given by

l=\frac{1}{\pi}(\frac{T}{Y*\sigma})^2

l=\frac{1}{3.142}(\frac{55}{1*200})^2

l=0.024m

Therefore

in mm

l=24mm

Air expands through a turbine operating at steady state. At the inlet p1 = 150 lbf/in^2, T1 = 1400R and at the exit p2 = 14.8 lb
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The power developed in HP is 2702.7hp

Explanation:

Given details.

P1 = 150 lbf/in^2,

T1 = 1400°R

P2 = 14.8 lbf/in^2,

T2 = 700°R

Mass flow rate m1 = m2 = m = 11 lb/s Q = -65000 Btu/h

Using air table to obtain the values for h1 and h2 at T1 and T2

h1 at T1 = 1400°R = 342.9 Btu/h

h2 at T2 = 700°R = 167.6 Btu/h

Using;

Q - W + m(h1) - m(h2) = 0

W = Q - m (h2 -h1)

W = (-65000 Btu/h ) - 11 lb/s (167.6 - 342.9) Btu/h

W = (-65000 Btu/h ) - (-1928.3) Btu/s

W = (-65000 Btu/h ) * {1hr/(60*60)s} - (-1928.3) Btu/s

W = -18.06Btu/s + 1928.3 Btu/s

W = 1910.24Btu/s

Note; Btu/s = 1.4148532hp

W = 2702.7hp

Charging method .Constant current method​
mina [271]

Answer:

There are three common methods of charging a battery; constant voltage, constant current and a combination of constant voltage/constant current with or without a smart charging circuit.

Constant voltage allows the full current of the charger to flow into the battery until the power supply reaches its pre-set voltage.  The current will then taper down to a minimum value once that voltage level is reached.  The battery can be left connected to the charger until ready for use and will remain at that “float voltage”, trickle charging to compensate for normal battery self-discharge.

Constant current is a simple form of charging batteries, with the current level set at approximately 10% of the maximum battery rating.  Charge times are relatively long with the disadvantage that the battery may overheat if it is over-charged, leading to premature battery replacement.  This method is suitable for Ni-MH type of batteries.  The battery must be disconnected, or a timer function used once charged.

Constant voltage / constant current (CVCC) is a combination of the above two methods.  The charger limits the amount of current to a pre-set level until the battery reaches a pre-set voltage level.  The current then reduces as the battery becomes fully charged.  The lead acid battery uses the constant current constant voltage (CC/CV) charge method. A regulated current raises the terminal voltage until the upper charge voltage limit is reached, at which point the current drops due to saturation.

1. Sewage-treatment plant, a large concrete tank initially contains 440,000 liters liquid and 10,000 kg fine suspended solids. T
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Concentration = 10.33 kg/m³

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of solids; 10,000 kg

Volume; V = 440,000 L = 440 m³

Rate at which water is pumped out = 40,000 liter/h

Thus, at the end of 5 hours we amount of water that has been replaced with fresh water is = 40,000 liter/h x 5 hours = 200,000 L = 200 m³

Now, since the tank is perfectly mixed, therefore we can calculate a ratio of fresh water to sewage water as;

200m³/440m³ = 5/11

Thus, the amount left will be calculated by multiplying that ratio by the amount of solids;

Thus,

Amount left; = 10000 x (5/11) = 4545 kg

The concentration would be calculated by:

Concentration = amount left/initial volume

Thus,

Concentration = 4545/440 = 10.3 kg/m³
