A rectangular channel 6 m wide with a depth of flow of 3 m has a mean velocity of 1.5 m/s. The channel undergoes a smooth, gradu

al contraction to a width of 4.5 m.
(a) Calculate the depth and velocity in the contracted section.
(b) Calculate the net fluid force on the walls and floor of the contraction in the flow direction.
In each case, identify any assumptions made.

Hand tools based on job requirement and its importance and the classification of hand tools according to its function and its importance are discussed below in details.

Explanation:

Hand tools based on work requirement is essential because Every tool is specifically invented for a particular purpose, so picking the accurate tool will also reduce the amount of energy needed to get work done right without causing injury or harm to either the tools or the exterior being worked on.

classifying of hand tools: wrenches, screwdrivers, cutters, striking tools, hammer tool or struck, pliers, vise, clamps, snips, saws, drills, and knives.

A silicon diode has a saturation current of 6 nA at 25 degrees Celcius. What is the saturation current at 100 degrees Celsius?

Illusion [34]

Answer:

0.0659 A

Explanation:

Given that :

$I_{0} = 6nA$ ( saturation current )

at 25°c = 300 k ( room temperature )

n = 2 for silicon diode

Determine the saturation current at 100 degrees = 373 k

Diode equation at room temperature = I = Io $\frac{V}{e^{0.025*n} }$

next we have to determine the value of V at 373 k

q / kT = (1.6 * 10^-19) / (1.38 * 10^-23 * 373) = 31.08 V^-1

Given that I is constant

Io = $\frac{e^{0.025*2} }{31.08}$ = 0.0659 A

Two common methods of improving fuel efficiency of a vehicle are to reduce the drag coefficient and the frontal area of the vehi

qaws [65]

Answer:

$\Delta V = 209.151\,L$ , $\Delta C = 217.517\,USD$

Explanation:

The drag force is equal to:

$F_{D} = C_{D}\cdot \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho_{air}\cdot v^{2}\cdot A$

Where $C_{D}$ is the drag coefficient and $A$ is the frontal area, respectively. The work loss due to drag forces is:

$W = F_{D}\cdot \Delta s$

The reduction on amount of fuel is associated with the reduction in work loss:

$\Delta W = (F_{D,1} - F_{D,2})\cdot \Delta s$

Where $F_{D,1}$ and $F_{D,2}$ are the original and the reduced frontal areas, respectively.

$\Delta W = C_{D}\cdot \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho_{air}\cdot v^{2}\cdot (A_{1}-A_{2})\cdot \Delta s$

The change is work loss in a year is:

$\Delta W = (0.3)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot (1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}})\cdot (27.778\,\frac{m}{s})^{2}\cdot [(1.85\,m)\cdot (1.75\,m) - (1.50\,m)\cdot (1.75\,m)]\cdot (25\times 10^{6}\,m)$

$\Delta W = 2.043\times 10^{9}\,J$

$\Delta W = 2.043\times 10^{6}\,kJ$

The change in chemical energy from gasoline is:

$\Delta E = \frac{\Delta W}{\eta}$

$\Delta E = \frac{2.043\times 10^{6}\,kJ}{0.3}$

$\Delta E = 6.81\times 10^{6}\,kJ$

The changes in gasoline consumption is:

$\Delta m = \frac{\Delta E}{L_{c}}$

$\Delta m = \frac{6.81\times 10^{6}\,kJ}{44000\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }$

$\Delta m = 154.772\,kg$

$\Delta V = \frac{154.772\,kg}{0.74\,\frac{kg}{L} }$

$\Delta V = 209.151\,L$

Lastly, the money saved is:

$\Delta C = \left(\frac{154.772\,kg}{0.74\,\frac{kg}{L} }\right)\cdot (1.04\,\frac{USD}{L} )$

$\Delta C = 217.517\,USD$
