Transverse thrusters are used to make large ships fully maneuverable at low speeds without tugboat assistance. A transverse thru

ster consists of a propeller mounted in a duct; the unit is then mounted below the waterline in the bow or stern of the ship. The duct runs completely across the ship. Calculate the thrust developed by a 1900 kW unit supplied to the propeller if the duct is 2.6 m in diameter and the ship is stationary.

Answer:

Thrust developed = 212.3373 kN

Explanation:

Assuming the ship is stationary

<u>Determine the Thrust developed</u>

power supplied to the propeller ( Punit ) = 1900 KW

Duct distance ( diameter ; D  ) = 2.6 m

first step : <em>calculate the area of the duct </em>

A = π/4 * D^2

   =  π/4 * ( 2.6)^2  = 5.3092 m^2

<em>next : calculate the velocity of propeller</em>

Punit = (A*v*β ) / 2  * V^2     ( assuming β = 999 kg/m^3 ) also given V1 = 0

∴V^3 = Punit * 2 / A*β

         = ( 1900 * 10^3 * 2 ) / ( 5.3092 * 999 )

hence V2 = 8.9480 m/s

<em>Finally determine the thrust developed </em>

F = Punit / V2

  = (1900 * 10^3) / ( 8.9480)

  = 212.3373 kN

What are the starting materials for nuclear fission
aliina [53]
In normal fission reactors, the fuel used to start the nuclear fission is Uranium-235. 
Generally, fuel rods enriched with uranium-235 are used to start the fission. When a nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it becomes unstable and then it breaks apart, producing two smaller nuclei, several neutrons and energy. The additional neutrons produced in the reaction are then absorbed by other nuclei of uranium-235, triggering other fission reactions, and so on.

inessss [21]

Answer:

1.5min

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Period and Centripetal Acceleration.

By definition centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c = \frac{V^2}{r}

Where,

V = Tangencial velocity

r = radius

With our values we know that

a_c = \frac{V^2}{r}

\frac{V^2}{r} = \frac{1}{10}g

Therefore solving to find V, we have:

V = \sqrt{\frac{1}{10}g*r}

V = \sqrt{\frac{9.81*200}{10}}

V = 14m/s

For definition we know that the Time to complete are revolution is given by

t = \frac{Perimeter}{Speed}

t = \frac{2\pi R}{V}

t = \frac{2\pi * 200}{14}

t = 1.5min

What is the change all living things undergo as the grow
Vladimir [108]
All of the change that living things undergo as they grow is called development. That is the name when the changes are within a single unit and over a period of time as short as a lifetime. When the change occurs over thousands of years then it's called evolution.

A physical quantity is defined as mass per uint volume .what is its si unit.​
Artist 52 [7]
A physical quantity is defined as mass per uint volume .what is its si unit.


A physical quantity is a property of a material or system that can be quantified by measurement. A physical quantity can be expressed as the combination of a numerical value and a unit. For example, the physical quantity mass can be quantified as n kg, where n is the numerical value and kg is the unit. A physical quantity possesses at least two characteristics in common, one is numerical magnitude and other is the unit in which it is measured.
