(SI units) Molten metal is poured into the pouring cup of a sand mold at a steady rate of 400 cm3/s. The molten metal overflows

the pouring cup and flows into the downsprue. The cross section of the sprue is round, with a diameter at the top = 3.4 cm. If the sprue is 20 cm long, determine the proper diameter at its base so as to main- tain the same volume flow rate.

Answer:

diameter of the sprue at the bottom is 1.603 cm

Explanation:

Given data;

Flow rate, Q = 400 cm³/s

cross section of sprue: Round

Diameter of sprue at the top $d_{top}$ = 3.4 cm

Height of sprue, h = 20 cm = 0.2 m

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s²

Calculate the velocity at the sprue base

$V_{base}$ = √2gh

we substitute

$V_{base}$ = √(2 × 9.81 m/s² × 0.2 m )

$V_{base}$ = 1.98091 m/s

$V_{base}$ = 198.091 cm/s

diameter of the sprue at the bottom will be;

Q = AV = (π $d_{bottom}^2$ /4) × $V_{base}$

$d_{bottom}$ = √(4Q/π $V_{base}$ )

we substitute our values into the equation;

$d_{bottom}$ = √(4(400 cm³/s) / (π×198.091 cm/s))

$d_{bottom}$ = 1.603 cm

Therefore, diameter of the sprue at the bottom is 1.603 cm

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

$18 ft^{2}$

Explanation:

Soil bearing pressure= $\frac {Load}{Area}$

Since we're given pressure of 2500 psf and load of 45000 pounds

The area= $\frac {45000}{2500}=18$

Therefore, the smallest area of safe footings should not be less than $18 ft^{2}$

An equal-tangent sag vertical curve (with a negative initial and a positive final grade) is designed for 55 mi/h. The PVI is at

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.

Explanation:

Length of curve is given as

$L=2(PVT-PVI)\\L=2(242+30-240+00)\\L=2(230)\\L=460 ft$

$G_2$ is given as

$G_2=\frac{E_{PVT}-E_{PVI}}{0.5L}\\G_2=\frac{127.5-122}{0.5*460}\\G_2=0.025=2.5 \%$

The K value is given from the table 3.3 for 55 mi/hr is 115. So the value of A is given as

$A=\frac{L}{K}\\A=\frac{460}{115}\\A=4$

A is given as

$-G_1=A-G_2\\-G_1=4.0-2.5\\-G_1=1.5\\G_1=-1.5\%$

With initial grade, the elevation of PVC is

$E_{PVC}=E_{PVI}+G_1(L/2)\\E_{PVC}=122+1.5%(460/2)\\E_{PVC}=125.45 ft\\$

The station is given as

$St_{PVC}=St_{PVI}-(L/2)\\St_{PVC}=24000-(230)\\St_{PVC}=237+70\\$

Low point is given as

$x=K \times |G_1|\\x=115 \times 1.5\\x=172.5 ft$

The station of low point is given as

$St_{low}=St_{PVC}-(x)\\St_{low}=23770+(172.5)\\St_{low}=239+42.5 ft\\$

The elevation is given as

$E_{low}=\frac{G_2-G_1}{2L} x^2+G_1x+E_{PVC}\\E_{low}=\frac{2.5-(-1.5)}{2*460} (1.72)^2+(-1.5)*(1.72)+125.45\\E_{low}=124.16 ft$

So the lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.

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.

A container filled with a sample of an ideal gas at the pressure of 150 Kpa. The gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of

lyudmila [28]

Answer: c) 450 kPa

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$ (At constant temperature and number of moles)

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 150 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = ?

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = v L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = $\frac{v}{3}L$

$150\times v=P_2\times \frac{v}{3}$

$P_2=450kPa$

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas will be 450 kPa.
