Answer:

Water enters a centrifugal pump axially at atmospheric pressure at a rate of 0.12 m3/s and at a velocity of 7 m/s, and leaves in the normal direction along the pump casing, as shown in Fig. PI3-39. Determine the force acting on the shaft (which is also the force acting on the bearing of the shaft) in the axial direction.

Step-by-step solution:

Step 1 of 5

Given data:-

The velocity of water is .

The water flow rate is.

Define the coefficient of determination and discuss the impact you would expect it to have on your engineering decision-making b

scoundrel [369]

Answer and Explanation:

The coefficient of determination also called "goodness of fit" or R-squared(R²) is used in statistical measurements to understand the relationship between two variables such that changes in one variable affects the other. The level of relationship or the degree to which one affects the other is measured by 0 to 1 whereby 0 means no relationship at all and 1 means one totally affects the other while figures in between such 0.40 would mean one variable affects 40% of the other variable.

In making a decision as an engineer while using the coefficient of determination, one would try to understand the relationship between variables under consideration and make decisions based on figures obtained from calculating coefficient of determination. In other words when there is a 0 coefficient then there is no relationship between variables and an engineer would make his decisions with this in mind and vice versa.

What might cause a shotgun to explode?

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

When you pull the trigger to shoot a shotshell from a shotgun or a cartridge from a rifle or handgun, the firing pin strikes the primer in the base of the cartridge or shotshell. This causes the primer to explode. The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder, which burns rapidly and converts to a gas.

A one-dimensional plane wall of thickness 2L=80 mm experiences uniform thermal generation of q= 1000 W/m^3 and is convectively c

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

$h=1.99998\ W/m^2.C$

$k=33.333\ W/m.C$

Explanation:

Considering the one dimensional and steady state:

From Heat Conduction equation considering the above assumption:

$\frac{\partial^2T}{\partial x^2}+\frac{\dot e_{gen}}{k}=0$ Eq (1)

Where:

k is thermal Conductivity

$\dot e_{gen}$ is uniform thermal generation

$T(x) = a(L^2-x^2)+b$

$\frac{\partial\ T(x)}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial\ a(L^2-x^2)+b}{\partial x}=-2ax\\\frac{\partial^2\ T(x)}{\partial x^2}=\frac{\partial^2\ -2ax}{\partial x^2}=-2a$

Putt in Eq (1):

$-2a+\frac{\dot e_{gen}}{k}=0\\ k=\frac{\dot e_{gen}}{2a}\\ k=\frac{1000}{2*15}\\ k=33.333\ W/m.C$

Energy balance is given by:

$Q_{convection}=Q_{conduction}$

$h(T_L-T_{inf})=-k(\frac{dT}{dx}) _L$ Eq (2)

$T(x) = a(L^2-x^2)+b$

Putting x=L

$T(L) = a(L^2-L^2)+b\\T(L)=b\\T(L)=40^oC$

$\frac{dT}{dx}=\frac{d(a(L^2-x^2)+b}{dx}=-2ax\\Put\ x\ =\ L\\\frac{dT}{dx}=-2aL\\(\frac{dT}{dx})_L=-2*15*0.04=-1.2$

From Eq (2)

$h=\frac{-k*-1.2}{(40-20)} \\h=\frac{-33.333*-1.2}{(40-20)}\\h=1.99998\ W/m^2.C$

Why carbon is not used as a semiconductor material

dmitriy555 [2]

Carbon is not used as semiconductor it has 4 valence electrons in it valence shell but the energy gap is very small it will conduct electricity even at room temperature ,the size of carbon is very small .
