The Cv factor for a valve is 48. Compute the head loss when 30 GPM of water passes through the valve.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

The head loss in Psi is 0.390625 psi.

Explanation:

Fluid looses energy in the form of head loss. Fluid looses energy in the form of head loss when passes through the valve as well.

Given:

Factor cv is 48.

Flow rate of water is 30 GPM.

GPM means gallon per minute.

Calculation:

Step1

Expression for head loss for the water is given as follows:

$c_{v}=\frac{Q}{\sqrt{h}}$

Here, cv is valve coefficient, Q is flow rate in GPM and h is head loss is psi.

Step2

Substitute 48 for cv and 30 for Q in above equation as follows:

$48=\frac{30}{\sqrt{h}}$

${\sqrt{h}}=0.625$

h = 0.390625 psi.

Thus, the head loss in Psi is 0.390625 psi.

A vacuum gage connected to a tank reads 30 kPa at a location where the barometric reading is 755 mmHg. Determine the absolute pr

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Absolute pressure=70.72 KPa

Explanation:

Given that Vacuum gauge pressure= 30 KPa

Barometer reading =755 mm Hg

We know that barometer always reads atmospheric pressure at given situation.So atmospheric pressure is equal to 755 mm Hg.

We know that P= ρ g h

Density of $Hg=13600 \frac{kg}{m^3}$

So P=13600 x 9.81 x 0.755

P=100.72 KPa

We know that

Absolute pressure=atmospheric pressure + gauge pressure

But here given that 30 KPa is a Vacuum pressure ,so we will take it as negative.

Absolute pressure=atmospheric pressure + gauge pressure

Absolute pressure=100.72 - 30 KPa

So

Absolute pressure=70.72 KPa

About what thickness of aluminum is needed to stop a beam of (a) 2.5-MeV electrons, (b) 2.5-MeV protons, and (c) 10-MeV alpha pa

Nana76 [90]

The thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

<h3>Thickness of the aluminum</h3>

The thickness of the aluminum can be determined using from distance of closest approach of the particle.

$K.E = \frac{2KZe^2}{r}$

where;

Z is the atomic number of aluminium = 13
e is charge
r is distance of closest approach = thickness of aluminium
k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

<h3>For 2.5 MeV electrons</h3>

$r = \frac{2KZe^2}{K.E} \\\\r = \frac{2 \times 9\times 10^9 \times 13\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{2.5 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\r = 1.5 \times 10^{-14} \ m$

<h3>For 2.5 MeV protons</h3>

Since the magnitude of charge of electron and proton is the same, at equal kinetic energy, the thickness will be same. r = 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

<h3>For 10 MeV alpha-particles</h3>

Charge of alpah particle = 2e

$r = \frac{2KZe^2}{K.E} \\\\r = \frac{2 \times 9\times 10^9 \times 13\times (2 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{10 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\r = 1.5 \times 10^{-14} \ m$

Thus, the thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.
