Answer:

We have to remember that being an engineer is a very high performing job, if only a tiny aspect is ruined, the whole operation is ruined and it shuts down.

Many engineers work on one aspect of something, it could be a building or a machine. If you do not communicate with the other people, then whatever you're working on will collapse, or not get done at all.

Lets say one guy put a steel beam on one side of a wall, and another guy put a wooden plank on the other side of the wall, but all this time the wall was supposed to be made of concrete bricks.

The whole thing would just collapse and be ruined. Communication and listening to inctructions is key.

Underground water is to be pumped by a 78% efficient 5- kW submerged pump to a pool whose free surface is 30 m above the undergr

maksim [4K]

Answer:

a) The maximum flowrate of the pump is approximately 13,305.22 cm³/s

b) The pressure difference across the pump is approximately 293.118 kPa

Explanation:

The efficiency of the pump = 78%

The power of the pump = 5 -kW

The height of the pool above the underground water, h = 30 m

The diameter of the pipe on the intake side = 7 cm

The diameter of the pipe on the discharge side = 5 cm

a) The maximum flowrate of the pump is given as follows;

$P = \dfrac{Q \cdot \rho \cdot g\cdot h}{\eta_t}$

Where;

P = The power of the pump

Q = The flowrate of the pump

ρ = The density of the fluid = 997 kg/m³

h = The head of the pump = 30 m

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

$\eta_t$ = The efficiency of the pump = 78%

$\therefore Q_{max} = \dfrac{P \cdot \eta_t}{\rho \cdot g\cdot h}$

$Q_{max}$ = 5,000 × 0.78/(997 × 9.8 × 30) ≈ 0.0133 m³/s

The maximum flowrate of the pump $Q_{max}$ ≈ 0.013305 m³/s = 13,305.22 cm³/s

b) The pressure difference across the pump, ΔP = ρ·g·h

∴ ΔP = 997 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 30 m = 293.118 kPa

The pressure difference across the pump, ΔP ≈ 293.118 kPa

The pressure distribution over a section of a two-dimensional wing at 4 degrees of incidence may be approximated as follows: Upp

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The lift coefficient is 0.3192 while that of the moment about the leading edge is-0.1306.

Explanation:

The Upper Surface Cp is given as

$Cp_u=-0.8 *0.6 +0.1 \int\limits^1_{0.6} \, dx =-0.8*0.6+0.4*0.1$

The Lower Surface Cp is given as

$Cp_l=-0.4 *0.6 +0.1 \int\limits^1_{0.6} \, dx =-0.4*0.6+0.4*0.1$

The difference of the Cp over the airfoil is given as

$\Delta Cp=Cp_l-Cp_u\\\Delta Cp=-0.4*0.6+0.4*0.1-(-0.8*0.6-0.4*0.1)\\\Delta Cp=-0.4*0.6+0.4*0.1+0.8*0.6+0.4*0.1\\\Delta Cp=0.4*0.6+0.4*0.2\\\Delta Cp=0.32$

Now the Lift Coefficient is given as

$C_L=\Delta C_p cos(\alpha_i)\\C_L=0.32\times cos(4*\frac{\pi}{180})\\C_L=0.3192$

Now the coefficient of moment about the leading edge is given as

$C_M=-0.3*0.4*0.6-(0.6+\dfrac{0.4}{3})*0.2*0.4\\C_M=-0.1306$

So the lift coefficient is 0.3192 while that of the moment about the leading edge is-0.1306.

Fatigue failure occurs under the condition of (a) High elastic stress (b) High corrosivity (c) High stress fluctuations (d) High

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Fatigue occurs under conditions of high elastic stress, high stress fluctuations and high rate of loading

Explanation:

According to many definition of fatigue failure the fatigue occurs when in an especifyc point of the object there is involved many forces and tensions.

That tensions needs to be big in magnitud, de variations of the efforts it has to be with a lot of amplitude and the loading in the object it has to be with a lot of number of cycles.

If in the all of these three conditions are present the fatigue failure it would appear.

The device whose operation closely matches the way the clamp-on ammeter works is

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The answer is

C. Split phase motor

Explanation:

Clamp meters rely on the principle of magnetic induction to make non contact AC current measurements. Electric current flowing through a wire produces a magnetic field.

Which is similar to basic mode of operation of electric motor and split phase motor is a type of electric motor.

What is a a clamp on meter?

Clamp meters are electrical testers which have wide jaws that are able to clamp around an electrical conductor. Originally designed as a single purpose tool for measuring AC current, clamp meters now include inputs for accepting test leads and other probes that support a wide range of electrical measurements, the jaws of a clamp meter permit work in tight spaces and permits current measurements on live conductors without circuit interruption.
