Answer:

Engineering is the use of science and math to design or make things. People who do engineering are called engineers. They learn engineering at a college or university. Engineers usually design or build things. Some engineers also use their skills to solve technical problems.

A mixing basin in a sewage filtration plant is stirred by a mechanical agitator with a power input/WF L T=. Other parameters de

MakcuM [25]

Answer: π= G[√(u.V/W)]

STEP 1

Given parameters:

Power Input W= FL/T,

Absolute Viscosity u= FT/L²

Basin volume V= V/L³

Velocity gradient G= V/L³

STEP 2

We start by expressing the velocity gradient G as a function of W, u, V

G= G(W,u,V)

To get the pii terms, we use the dimension number formula n=k - r

where n and k are natural numbers representing number of fundamental dimensions and variable present respectively.

n= 4-3=1

STEP 3:

We expressed the pii terms as

π= G.W^a.u^b.V^c

The three fundamental F L T

We can write as

Fⁿ.Lⁿ.Tⁿ= 1/T. (FL/T)^a.(FT/L²)^b.(L³)

Using the exponential rule and by comparing coefficient on both sides;

Fⁿ.Lⁿ.Tⁿ= F^a+b. L^a-2b+3c. T^-a+b-1

Fⁿ= F^a+b = a+b= 0..............I

Lⁿ= L^a-2b+3c=0 = a-2b+3c=0...........ii

Tⁿ=L^-a+b-1=0. -a+b-1=0............iii

From the above equations we have,

a+b =0: b=-a...........iv

putting eq. iv into iii , we have

-a-a-1=0: -2a-1=0: a= -1/2

substituting the above value of a into eq iv, we have

b= 1/2

substituting the value of b above into eq 2, we have,

-1/2-2(1/2)+3c=0

c=1/2.

Lastly, from the pii terms given above we can obtain dimensionless relationship,

π=G(W^-1/2.u^1/2.V^1/2)

We can write this as

π= G[ √1/W.√u. √1/2] = G[(√u.V/√W)] or G[√(u.V/W)].... final answer.

An induced-draft cooling tower cools 90,000 gallons per minute of water from 84 to 68oF. Air at 14.61 psia, 70oF dry bulb and 60

belka [17]

Answer:

a. V = 109.64 × 10⁵ ft/min

b. Mw = 654519.54 kg/hr

Explanation:

Given Parameters

mass flow rate of water, Mw = 90000g/min = 6607.33 kg/s

inlet temperature of water, T1 = 84 F = 28.89 C

outlet temperature of water, T2 = 68 F = 20 C

specific heat capacity of water, c = 4.18kJ/kgK

rate of heat remover from water, Qw is given by

Qw = 6607.33[28.89 - 20] * 4.18

Qw = 245529.545kw

For air, inlet condition

DBT = 70 F hi = 43.43 kJ/kg

WBT = 60 F wi = 0.00874 kJ/kg

u1 = 0.8445 m/kg

oulet condition,

DBT = 70 F RH = 100.1

h1 = 83.504kJ/kg

Wo = 0.222kJ/kg

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.

Who can use NIST resources?

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Federal agencies

Explanation:

NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) also called between 1901 and 1988 National Bureau of Standards (NBS), it is an agency of the Technology Administration of the United States Department of Commerce. The mission of this institute is to promote innovation and industrial competition in the United States through advances in metrology, standards and technology in ways that improve economic stability and quality of life.

As part of this mission, NIST scientists and engineers continually refine the science of measurement (metrology) by creating precise engineering and manufacturing required for most current technological advances. They are also directly involved in the development and testing of standards made by the private sector and government agencies. The NIST was originally called the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), a name it had from 1901 to 1988. The progress and technological innovation of the United States depends on the abilities of the NIST, especially if we talk about four areas: biotechnology , nanotechnology, information technologies and advanced manufacturing.
