Answer:

The cost and size of materials needed to produce energy

Explanation:

Artificial photosynthesis is a chemical process that uses solar cells instead of chlorophyll to absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. This process uses artificial leaves that require man-made catalyst to spilt water present in the air into hydrogen and oxygen. It is clear that the reaction requires heat from the sun for energy production thus the technology is expensive to be applied in most areas of the world. Additionally, results obtained from previous undertaken projects of this type has been ineffective and unsustainable because it involves a lot of trial and error.

For a flow rate of 212 cfs find the critical depth in (a) a rectangular channel with ????=6.5 ft, (b) a triangular channel with

Fofino [41]

Answer:

A. 3.21ft

B. 3.51ft

C. 2.95ft

D. 1.5275ft

Explanation:

A) Q =212 cu.f/s

Formula for critical depth of rectangular section is: dc =[(Q^2) /(b^2(g))]^1/3

Where dc =critical depth, ft

Q= quantity of flow or discharge, ft3/s

B= width of channel, ft (m)

g = acceleration due to gravity which is 9.81m/s2 or 32.185ft/s2

Now, from the question,

Q = 212 cu.f/s and b=6.5ft

Therefore, the critical depth is: [(212^2)/(6.5^2 x32. 185)]^(1/3)

To give ; critical depth= (44,944/1359.82)^(1/3) = 3.21ft

B. Formula for critical depth of a triangular section; dc = (2Q^2/gm^2)^(1/5)

From the question, Q =212 cu.f/s and m=1.6ft while g= 32.185ft/s2

Therefore, critical depth = [(212^2) /(1.6^2 x32. 185)] ^(1/5) = (44,944/84.466)^(1/5) = 3.51ft

C. For trapezoidal channel, critical depth(y) is derived from (Q^2 /g) = (A^3/T)

Where A= (B + my)y and T=(B+2my)

Now from the question, B=6.5ft and m=5ft.

Therefore, A= (6.5 + 2y)y and T=(6. 5 + 2(5y))= 6.5 + 10y

Now, let's plug the value of A and T into the initial equation to derive the critical depth ;

(212^2 /32.185) = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]/ (6.5 + 10y)

Which gives;

1396.43 = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]/ (6.5 + 10y)

Multiply both sides by 6.5 + 10y to get;

1396.43(6.5 + 10y) = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]

Factorizing this, we get y = 2. 95ft

D) Formula for critical depth of a circular section; dc =D/2[1 - cos(Ѳ/2)]

Where D is diameter of pipe and Ѳ is angle at critical depth in radians.

Angle not given, so we assume it's perpendicular angle is 90.

Since angle is in radians, therefore Ѳ/2 = 90/2 = 45 radians ; converting to degree, = 2578. 31

Therefore, dc = (6.5/2) (1 - cos (2578.31))

dc = 3.25(1 - 0.53) = 3.25 x 0.47 = 1.5275ft
