Answer:

-2 and 6

Explanation:

Let "x" and "y" be 2 numbers.

The sum of the two numbers is 4. The mathematical expression is:

x + y = 4

y = 4 - x   [1]

The sum of their squares minus three times their product is 76. The mathematical expression is:

x² + y² - 3 x y = 76   [2]

If we substitute [1] in [2], we get:

x² + (4 - x)² - 3 x (4 - x) = 76

x² + 16 - 8 x + x² - 12 x + 3 x² = 76

5 x² - 20 x - 60 = 0

We apply the solving formula for second order equations and we get x₁ = 6 and x₂ = -2.

If we replace these x values in [1], we get:

y₁ = 4 - x₁ = 4 - 6 = -2

y₂ = 4 - x₂ = 4 - (-2) = 6

As a consequence, one of the numbers is 6 and the other is -2.

Water flows through a nozzle at the end of a fire hose. If the nozzle exit velocity must be 20 m/s and the exit diameter is 40 m
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

minimum flow rate provided by pump is 0.02513 m^3/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Exit velocity of nozzle = 20m/s

Exit diameter = 40 mm

We know that flow rate Q is given as

Q = A \times V

where A is Area

A =\frac{\pi}{4} \times (40\times 10^{-3})^2 = 1.256\times 10^{-3} m^2

Q = 1.256\times 10^{-3} \times 20 = 0.02513 m^3/s

minimum flow rate provided by pump is 0.02513 m^3/s

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

a)Δs = 834 mm

b)V=1122 mm/s

a=450\ mm/s^2

Explanation:

Given that

s = 15t^3 - 3t\ mm

a)

When t= 2 s

s = 15t^3 - 3t\ mm

s = 15\times 2^3 - 3\times 2\ mm

s= 114 mm

At t= 4 s

s = 15t^3 - 3t\ mm

s = 15\times 4^3- 3\times 4\ mm

s= 948 mm

So the displacement between 2 s to 4 s

Δs = 948 - 114 mm

Δs = 834 mm

b)

We know that velocity V

V=\dfrac{ds}{dt}

\dfrac{ds}{dt}=45t^2-3

At t=  5 s

V=45t^2-3

V=45\times 5^2-3

V=1122 mm/s

We know that acceleration a

a=\dfrac{d^2s}{dt^2}

\dfrac{d^2s}{dt^2}=90t

a= 90 t

a = 90 x 5

a=450\ mm/s^2

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat- regenerative Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 80 MW. Steam enters th
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

flow(m) = 54.45 kg/s

thermal efficiency u = 44.48%

Explanation:

Given:

- P_1 = P_8 = 10 KPa

- P_2 = P_3 = P_6 = P_7 = 800 KPa

- P_4 = P_5 = 10,000 KPa

- T_5 = 550 C

- T_7 = 500 C

- Power Output P = 80 MW

Find:

-  The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler

-  The thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Solution:

State 1:

P_1 = 10 KPa , saturated liquid

h_1 = 192 KJ/kg

v_1 = 0.00101 m^3 / kg

State 2:

P_2 = 800 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_2 = h_1 + v_1 * ( P_2 - P_1)

h_2 = 192 + 0.00101*(790) = 192.80 KJ/kg

State 3:

P_3 = 800 KPa , saturated liquid

h_3 = 721 KJ/kg

v_3 = 0.00111 m^3 / kg

State 4:

P_4 = 10,000 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_4 = h_3 + v_3 * ( P_4 - P_3)

h_4 = 721 + 0.00111*(9200) = 731.21 KJ/kg

State 5:

P_5 = 10,000 KPa , T_5 = 550 C

h_5 = 3500 KJ/kg

s_5 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

State 6:

P_6 = 800 KPa , s_5 = s_6 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

h_6 = 2810 KJ/kg

State 7:

P_7 = 800 KPa , T_7 = 500 C

h_7 = 3480 KJ/kg

s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

State 8:

P_8 = 10 KPa , s_8 = s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

h_8 = 2490 KJ/kg

- Fraction of steam y = flow(m_6 / m_3).

- Use energy balance of steam bleed and cold feed-water:

                                        E_6 + E_2 = E_3

               flow(m_6)*h_6 + flow(m_2)*h_3 = flow(m_3)*h_3

                                    y*h_6 + (1-y)*h_3 = h_3

                                  y*2810 + (1-y)*192.8 = 721

Compute y:                          y = 0.2018

- Heat produced by the boiler q_b:

                             q_b = h_5 - h_4 +(1-y)*(h_7 - h_8)

                    q_b = 3500 -731.21 + ( 1 - 0.2018)*(3480 - 2810)

Compute q_b:               q_b = 3303.58 KJ/ kg

-Heat dissipated by the condenser q_c:

                                       q_c = (1-y)*(h_8 - h_1)

                                 q_c= ( 1 + 0.2018)*(2810 - 192)

Compute q_c:               q_c = 1834.26 KJ/ kg

- Net power output w_net:

                                     w_net = q_b - q_c

                                w_net = 3303.58 - 1834.26

                                    w_net = 1469.32 KJ/kg

- Given out put P = 80,000 KW

                                     flow(m) = P / w_net

compute flow(m)          flow(m) = 80,000 /1469.32 = 54.45 kg/s

- Thermal efficiency u:

                                     u = 1 - (q_c / q_b)

                                     u = 1 - (1834.26/3303.58)

                                     u = 44.48 %

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The differences are listed below

Explanation:

The differences between consolidation and compaction are as follows:

In compaction the mechanical pressure is used to compress the soil. In consolidation, there is an application of stead pressure.

In compaction, there is a dynamic load by rapid mechanical methods like tamping, rolling, etc. In consolidation, there is static and sustained pressure applied for a long time.

In compaction, the soil volume is reduced by removing air from the void. In consolidation, the soil volume is reduced by squeezing out water from the pores.

Compaction is used for sandy soil, consolidation on the other hand, is used for clay soil.
