Liquid flows with a free surface around a bend. The liquid is inviscid and incompressible, and the flow is steady and irrotation

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

9 cm

Explanation:

The liquid on the bend will be affected by two accelerations: gravity and centripetal force.

Gravity will be of 9.81 m/s^2 pointing down at all points.

The centripetal acceleration will be of

ac = v^2/r

Pointing to the center of the bend (perpendicular to gravity).

The velocity will depend on the radius

v = (1 m^2/s) / r

Replacing:

ac = (1/r)^2 / r

ac = (1 m^4/s^2) / r^3

If we set up a cylindrical reference system with origin at the center of the bend, the total acceleration will be

a = (-1/r^3 * i - 9.81 * j)

The surface of the liquid will be an equipotential surface, this means all points on the surface have the same potential energy.

The potential energy of the gravity field is:

pg = g * h

The potential energy of the centripetal force is:

pc = ac * r

Then the potential field is:

p = -1/r^2 * - 9.81*h

Points on the surface at r = 1 m and r = 3 m have the same potential.

-1/1^2 * - 9.81*h1 = -1/3^2 * - 9.81*h2

-1 - 9.81*h1 = -1/9 - 9.81*h2

-1 + 1/9 = 9.81 * (h1 - h2)

h1 - h2 = (-8/9) / 9.81

h2 - h1 = 0.09 m

The outer part will be 9 cm higher than the inner part.

An escalator handles a steady load of 26 people per minute in elevating them from the first to the second floor through a vertic

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$\eta = 70.711\,\%$

Explanation:

The power needed to make the escalator working is obtained by means of the Work-Energy Theorem:

$\dot W = \dot U_{g}$

$\dot W = \dot n \cdot m_{p}\cdot g \cdot \Delta y$

$\dot W = \left(26\,\frac{persons}{min}\right)\cdot (124\,lbm)\cdot \left(32.174\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,lbf}{32.174\,\frac{lbm\cdot ft}{s^{2}} } \right)\cdot (27.5\,ft)$
