This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

the water depths upstream and downstream of a hydraulic jump is 0.3 m and 1.2 m. Determine flow rate  ( in m³ ) if the rectangular channel is 20 m wide.

Answer:

the flow rate is 32.549 m³/sec

Explanation:

Given that

y₁ = 0.3 m

y₂ = 1.2 m

β = 20 m

Now for Rectangular Channel, we know that;

2q²/g = y₁y₂( y₁ + y₂)

where g = 9.81 m/s²

and q = Q/β

so

2(Q/β)²/g = y₁y₂( y₁ + y₂)

we substitute our given values

2(Q/20)²/9.81 = 0.3 × 1.2( 0.3 + 1.2)

2(Q²/400)/9.81 = 0.36(1.5)

2(Q²/400) = 0.54 × 9.81

Q²/400 = 5.2974 / 2

Q²/400 = 2.6587

Q² = 1059.48

Q = √1059.48

Q = 32.549 m³/sec

Therefore the flow rate is 32.549 m³/sec

Refrigerant-134a is throttled from the saturated liquid state at 800 kPa to a pressure of 140 kPa. Determine the temperature dro
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The temperature drop is 61.1 °C

The final specific volume of the refrigerant is 1.236 m^3/kg

Explanation:

Initial pressure of refrigerant = 800 kPa = 800/100 = 8 bar

Final pressure of refrigerant = 140 kPa = 140/100 = 1.4 bar

From steam table

At 8 bar, initial saturated temperature is 170.4 °C

At 1.4 bar, final saturated temperature is 109.3 °C

Temperature drop = initial saturated temperature - final saturated temperature = 170.4 - 109.3 = 61.1 °C

Also, from steam table

At 1.4 bar, specific volume is 1.236 m^3/kg

Final specific volume of the refrigerant is 1.236 m^3/kg

A horizontal curve on a two-lane road is designed with a 2,300-ft radius, 12-ft lanes, and a 65-mph design speed. Determine the
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

distance = 22.57 ft

superelevation rate = 2%

Explanation:

given data

radius = 2,300-ft

lanes width = 12-ft

no of lane = 2

design speed = 65-mph

solution

we get here sufficient sight distance SSD that is express as

SSD = 1.47 ut + \frac{u^2}{30(\frac{a}{g}\pm G)}     ..............1

here u is speed and t is reaction time i.e 2.5 second and a is here deceleration rate i.e 11.2 ft/s² and g is gravitational force i.e 32.2 ft/s² and G is gradient i.e 0 here

so put here value and we get

SSD = 1.47 × 65 ×2.5  + \frac{65^2}{30(\frac{11.2}{32.2}\pm 0)}

solve it we get

SSD = 644 ft  

so here minimum distance clear from the inside edge of the inside lane is

Ms = Rv ( 1  - cos (\frac{28.65 SSD}{Rv}) )        .....................2

here Rv is = R - one lane width

Rv = 2300 - 6 = 2294 ft

put value in equation 2 we get

Ms = 2294 ( 1  - cos (\frac{28.65 \times 664}{2294})  )  

solve it we get

Ms = 22.57 ft

and

superelevation rate for the curve will be here as

R  = \frac{u^2}{15(e+f)}  ..................3

here f is coefficient of friction that is 0.10

put here value and we get e

2300 = \frac{65^2}{15(e+0.10)}

solve it we get

e = 2%

An inventor claims that he wants to build a dam to produce hydroelectric power. He correctly realizes that civilization uses a l
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The problem is that the pumps would consume more energy than the generators would produce.

Explanation:

Water has a potential energy associated with the height it is at. The higher it is, the higher the potential energy. When water flows down into the turbines that energy is converted to kinetic energy and then into electricity.

A pump uses electricity to add energy to the water to send it to a higher potential energy state.

Ideally no net energy woul be hgenerate or lost, because the generators would release the potential energy and pumps would store it again in the water. However the systems are not ideal, everything has an efficiency and losses. The losses would accumulate and the generator would be generating less energy than the pumps consume, so that system wastes energy.

What should be done is closing the floodgates to keep the water up in the dam at night producing only the power that is needed and releasing more water during the day.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The correct approach will be "Polymer".

Explanation:

  • A polymer, because it has a very broad molecular structure, seems to be a class or kind of organic solid. It is indeed a material consisting of long sequences, or monomers, of simplified components.
  • The existence of a large number of monomers which have been mentioned several times seems to be the principal design characteristic of polymeric materials.
