The water of a 14’ × 48’ metal frame pool can drain from the pool through an opening at the side of the pool. The opening is abo

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Height h = 1.03m

Volume v = 3780 gallons = 3780 * 0.0037851m^3 = 14.3073m^3

Time t = 13.5 mins = 13.5 * 60 = 810 seconds

Length of pool L = 14 inch = 14 * 2.54 = 35.56cm

width of pool b = 48 inch = 48 * 2.54 = 121.92 cm

a.) Consider the bernoulli's equation is given as:

$P_1+\rho gh_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \rho gh_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 ...(1)$

consider the equation of bernoulli at the top of the pool

$P_0+\rho gh_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 =constant ...(2)$

where $P_1=P_0$ atm pressure

At the top of the pool $v_1=0m/s$ , substitute in V_1 in equation (2)

$P_0+\rho gh_1 =constant ...(3)$

Hence equation (3) serves as the bernoullis equation at the top.

b.) Consider the equation of bernoulli's at the opening of the pool

$P_2+\rho gh_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 =constant ...(4)\\P_0+\rho gh_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 =constant ...(5)$

where $P_2=P_0$ atm pressure and $h_2=0m$

$P_0+\rho v_1^2 =constant ...(6)$

Hence equation (6) serves as the bernoullis equation of water at the opening of the pool.

c.) Consider the equation (3) and (4)

$P_0+\rho gh_1 =P_0+\rho v_1^2\\\\\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2=\rho gh_1\\v_2^2=2gh_1\\v_2=(\sqrt{2gh_1})m/s...(7)$

Hence velocity is $v_2=(\sqrt{2gh_1})m/s$

d.) consider (7)

$v_2=(\sqrt{2(9.81)(1.03)})=4.4954m/s(approx)$

This is the norminal value of velocity

e.) consider the equation of flow rate interval of v and t

flow(t)= $\frac{dv}{dt}(m^3/s)$ hence this is the flow rate

f.) Consider the equation cross sectional area in terms of V,v2 and t

$AV_2=\frac{v}{t}\\\\A=\frac{v}{v_2t}(m^2)...8$

hence this serves as the cross sectional area.

g.) Consider the equation of area from equation (8)

$A=\frac{v}{v_2t}\\=\frac{14.3073}{4.4954\times 810}=0.003929=0.00393m^2=39.3cm^2$

Air enters a compressor steadily at the ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 22°C and leaves at 800 kPa. Heat is lost from the comp

telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) 358.8K

b) 181.1 kJ/kg.K

c) 0.0068 kJ/kg.K

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 100kPa

P2= 800kPa

T1 = 22°C = 22+273 = 295K

q_out = 120 kJ/kg

∆S_air = 0.40 kJ/kg.k

T2 =??

a) Using the formula for change in entropy of air, we have:

∆S_air = $c_p In \frac{T_2}{T_1} - Rln \frac{P_2}{P_1}$

Let's take gas constant, Cp= 1.005 kJ/kg.K and R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K

Solving, we have:

[/tex] -0.40= (1.005)ln\frac{T_2}{295} ln\frac{800}{100}[/tex]

$-0.40= 1.005(ln T_2 - 5.68697)- 0.5968$

Solving for T2 we have:

$T_2 = 5.8828$

Taking the exponential on the equation (both sides), we have:

[/tex] T_2 = e^5^.^8^8^2^8 = 358.8K[/tex]

b) Work input to compressor:

$w_in = c_p(T_2 - T_1)+q_out$

$w_in = 1.005(358.8 - 295)+120$

= 184.1 kJ/kg

c) Entropy genered during this process, we use the expression;

Egen = ∆Eair + ∆Es

Where; Egen = generated entropy

∆Eair = Entropy change of air in compressor

∆Es = Entropy change in surrounding.

We need to first find ∆Es, since it is unknown.

Therefore ∆Es = $\frac{q_out}{T_1}$

$\frac{120kJ/kg.k}{295K}$

∆Es = 0.4068kJ/kg.k

Hence, entropy generated, Egen will be calculated as:

= -0.40 kJ/kg.K + 0.40608kJ/kg.K

= 0.0068kJ/kg.k

(TCO 4) A system samples a sinusoid of frequency 190 Hz at a rate of 120 Hz and writes the sampled signal to its output without

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The frequency that the sampling system will generate in its output is 70 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

F = 190 Hz

Fs = 120 Hz

Output Frequency = F - nFs

When n = 1

Output Frequency = 190 - 120 = 70 Hz

Therefore, if a system samples a sinusoid of frequency 190 Hz at a rate of 120 Hz and writes the sampled signal to its output without further modification, the frequency that the sampling system will generate in its output is 70 Hz

Imagine you compare the effectiveness of four different types of stimulant to keep you awake while revising statistics using a o

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The correct answer is At least two of the stimulants will have different effects on the mean time spent awake.

Explanation:

The null hypothesis exposed leads to consider an alternative hypothesis that differs from the behavior of the 4 stimulants. In this case it is related to the effects on patients, since in practice at least one will present differences compared to the others, influencing the sleep time of consumers.
