Answer:

33.56 ft^3/sec.in

Explanation:

Duration = 6 hours

drainage area = 185 mi^2

constant baseflow = 550 cfs

<u>Derive the unit hydrograph using the inverse procedure </u>

first step : calculate for the volume of direct runoff hydrograph using the details in table 2 attached below

Vdrh = sum of drh *  duration

        = 29700 * 6 hours ( 216000 secs )

        = 641,520,000 ft^3.

next step : Calculate the volume of runoff in equivalent depth

Vdrh / Area = 641,520,000  / 185 mi^2

                    = 1.49 in

Finally derive the unit hydrograph

Unit of hydrograph = drh /  volume of runoff in equivalent depth

                                = 50 ft^3 / 1.49 in  =  33.56 ft^3/sec.in

Refrigerant-134a enters the expansion valve of a refrigeration system at 120 psia as a saturated liquid and leaves at 20 psia. D
Shkiper50 [21]

Solution :

$P_1 = 120 \ psia$

$P_2 = 20 \ psia$

Using the data table for refrigerant-134a at P = 120 psia

$h_1=h_f=40.8365 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_1=u_f=40.5485 \ Btu/lbm$

$T_{sat}=87.745^\circ  F$

∴ $h_2=h_1=40.8365 \ Btu/lbm$

For pressure, P = 20 psia

$h_{2f} = 11.445 \ Btu/lbm$

$h_{2g} = 102.73 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_{2f} = 11.401 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_{2g} = 94.3 \ Btu/lbm$

$T_2=T_{sat}=-2.43^\circ  F$

Change in temperature, $\Delta T = T_2-T_1$

                                         $\Delta T = -2.43-87.745$

                                           $\Delta T=-90.175^\circ  F$

Now we find the quality,

$h_2=h_f+x_2(h_g-h_f)$

$40.8365=11.445+x_2(91.282)$

$x_2=0.32198$

The final energy,

$u_2=u_f+x_2.u_{fg}$

   $=11.401+0.32198(82.898)$

   $=38.09297 \ Btu/lbm$

Change in internal energy  

$\Delta u= u_2-u_1$

   = 38.09297-40.5485

  = -2.4556

An air conditioner removes heat steadily from a house at a rate of 750 kJ/min while drawing electric power at a rate of 6 kW. De
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

a. 2.08, b. 1110 kJ/min

Explanation:

The power consumption and the cooling rate of an air conditioner are given. The COP or Coefficient of Performance and the rate of heat rejection are to be determined. <u>Assume that the air conditioner operates steadily.</u>

a. The coefficient of performance of the air conditioner (refrigerator) is determined from its definition, which is

COP(r) = Q(L)/W(net in), where Q(L) is the rate of heat removed and W(net in) is the work done to remove said heat

COP(r) = (750 kJ/min/6 kW) x (1 kW/60kJ/min) = 2.08

The COP of this air conditioner is 2.08.

b. The rate of heat discharged to the outside air is determined from the energy balance.

Q(H) = Q(L) + W(net in)

Q(H) = 750 kJ/min + 6 x 60 kJ/min = 1110 kJ/min

The rate of heat transfer to the outside air is 1110 kJ for every minute.

What is the mechanical advantage of a pulley with 3 support ropes?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The mechanical advantage is 3 to 1

Explanation:

A frictionless pulley with three support ropes carries equal tension on each of the ropes thus;

Tension in each pulley rope = T

Total tension in the 3 ropes = 3 × T = 3·T

Direction of the tension forces on each rope = Unidirectional

Total force provided by the 3 ropes = 3·T

Therefore, a force, T, applied at the end of the rope will result in a lifting force of 3·T

Hence, the mechanical advantage = 3·T to T which is presented as follows;

Mechanical \ advantage = \dfrac{3 \cdot T}{T}  = \dfrac{3}{1}

The mechanical advantage = 3 to 1.

A 14 inch diameter pipe is decreased in diameter by 2 inches through a contraction. The pressure entering the contraction is 28
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

5984.67N

Explanation:

A 14 inch diameter pipe is decreased in diameter by 2 inches through a contraction. The pressure entering the contraction is 28 psi and a pressure drop of 2 psi occurs through the contraction if the upstream velocity is 4.0 ft/sec. What is the magnitude of the resultant force (lbs) needed to hold the pipe in place?

from continuity equation

v1A1=v2A2

equation of continuity

v1=4ft /s=1.21m/s

d1=14 inch=.35m

d2=14-2=0.304m

A1=pi*d^2/4

0.096m^2

a2=0.0706m^2

from continuity once again

1.21*0.096=v2(0.07)

v2=1.65

force on the pipe

(p1A1- p2A2) + m(v2 – v1)

from bernoulli

p1 + ρv1^2/2 = p2 + ρv2^2/2

difference in pressure or pressure drop

p1-p2=2psi

13.789N/m^2=rho(1.65^2-1.21^2)/2

rho=21.91kg/m^3

since the pipe is cylindrical

pressure is egh

13.789=21.91*9.81*h

length of the pipe is

0.064m

AH=volume of the pipe(area *h)

the mass =rho*A*H

0.064*0.07*21.91

m=0.098kg

(193053*0.096- 179263.6* 0.07) + 0.098(1.65 – 1.21)

force =5984.67N
