A bathtub faucet has a maximum flow rate of 3 gal/min. The tub is rectangular (3 ft long x 2 ft wide x 1.5 ft deep). Although th

e tub drain is plugged, water leaks out at 0.01 gal/min. There is an overflow opening which allows water to drain from the tub. The overflow opening is 1 ft above the bottom of the tub. How long will it take the tub to fill to 1 ft deep with the faucet on at its maximum flow rate? If the area of the overflow opening is 0.5 in2 and water drains with a velocity of 1.8 ft/sec, will the tub ever overflow if you turn the faucet on at the maximum flow rate? If so, how long will it take? (Note: since the overflow opening is very small, assume that water drains through the entire opening once the water is 1 ft deep).

Calculate the reactions at 4 ends (supports) of this bookshelf. Assume that the weight of each book is approximately 1 lb. The w
hoa [83]

Answer:

R = 4.75 lb  (↑)

Explanation:

Number of books = n = 19

Weight of each book = W = 1 lb

Length of the bookshelf = L = 40 inches

We can get the value of the distributed load as follows

q = n*W/L = 19*1 lb/ 40 inches = 0.475 lb/in

then the reactions at 4 ends (supports) of the bookshelf are

R = (q/2)/2 = 4.75 lb

We can see the bookshelf in the pic.

Consider a fan located in a 3 ft by 3 ft square duct. Velocities at various points at the outlet are measured, and the average f
natulia [17]

Answer:

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s

Explanation:

given data

area = 3 ft by 3 ft

air density = 0.075 lbm/ft³

to find out

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor

solution

we know that energy balance equation that is express as

E in - E out  = \frac{dE \ system}{dt}    ......................1

and at steady state  \frac{dE \ system}{dt} = 0

so we can say from equation 1

E in = E out

so

minimum power required is

E in = W = m \frac{V^2}{2} = \rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}  

put here value

E in =  \rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}  

E in =  0.075 *3*3* 22 \frac{22^2}{2}  

E in = 0.1437 Btu/s

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s

The intake and exhaust processes are not considered in the p-V diagram of Otto cycle. a) true b) false
vovangra [49]

Answer:

b) false

Explanation:

We know that Otto cycle is the ideal cycle for all petrol working engine.In Otto cycle all process are consider is ideal ,means there is no any ir-reversibility in the processes.

It consist four processes

1-2:Reversible adiabatic compression

2-3:Constant volume heat addition

3-4:Reversible adiabatic expansion

3-4:Constant volume heat rejection

Along with above 4 processes intake and exhaust processes are parallel to each other.From the P-v diagram we can see that all processes.

But actually in general we are not showing intake and exhaust line then it did not mean that in Otto cycle did not have intake and exhaust processes.

Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Saturated vapor enters the turbine at 12 MPa, and the condenser pressure i
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

\dot Q_{in} = 372.239\,MW

Explanation:

The water enters to the pump as saturated liquid and equation is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

w_{in} + h_{in}- h_{out} = 0

h_{out} = w_{in}+h_{in}

h_{out} = 12\,\frac{kJ}{kg} + 191.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

h_{out} = 203.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

The boiler heats the water to the state of saturated vapor, whose specific enthalpy is:

h_{out} = 2685.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

The rate of heat transfer in the boiler is:

\dot Q_{in} = \left(150\,\frac{kg}{s}\right)\cdot \left(2685.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-203.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,MW}{1000\,kW} \right)

\dot Q_{in} = 372.239\,MW
