Answer:64.10 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

Work done in an isothermally compressed steady flow device is expressed as

Work done = P₁V₁ In { P₁/ P₂}

Work done=RT In { P₁/ P₂}

where P₁=13 psia

          P₂= 80 psia

Temperature =°F Temperature is convert to  °R

T(°R) = T(°F) + 459.67

T(°R) = 55°F+ 459.67

=514.67T(°R)

According to the properties of molar gas, gas constant and critical properties table, R  which s the gas constant of air is given as 0.06855 Btu/lbm

Work = RT In { P₁/ P₂}

0.06855 x 514.67 In { 13/ 80}

=0.06855 x 514.67 In {0.1625}

= 0.06855 x 514.67  x -1.817

=- 64.10Btu/lbm

The required work therefore for this  isothermal compression is 64.10 Btu/lbm

Question

Determine the average water exit velocity

Answer:

53.05 m/s

Explanation:

Given information

Volume flow rate, Q=16 m^{3}/min

Diameter d= 8cm= 0.08 m

Assumptions

  • The flow is jet flow hence momentum-flux correction factor is unity
  • Gravitational force is not considered
  • The flow is steady, frictionless and incompressible
  • Water is discharged to the atmosphere hence pressure is ignored

We know that Q=AV and making v the subject then

V=\frac {Q}{A} where V is the exit velocity and A is area

Area, A=\frac {\pi d^{2}{4} where d is the diameter

By substitution

V=\frac {16\times 4}{\pi 0.08^{2}}=3183.098862 m/min

To convert v to m/s from m/s, we simply divide it by 60 hence

V=\frac {3183.098862  m/min}{60 s}=53.0516477 m/s\approx 53.05 m/s

Why might construction crews want to install pipes before the foundation is poured
Crazy boy [7]

The answer is choice C

Explanation:

As during construction ,the site is cleared for all debris before laying out the foundation. Even the sewer lines are dug out .

So it will be useful for the construction crews to  connect the pipes to the sewer lines before the foundation is poured.

But usually the steps take in construction activity is:- first the site is cleared for the foundation to be poured  and once the foundation wall is set , then all utilities , including plumbing and electrical activities are done.,

After this process is over, the city inspector comes to check whether the foundation has been laid down as per the code of construction.

Only after that the rest of the construction activity follows through.
