The nuclear reactions resulting from thermal neutron absorption in boron and cadmium are 10B5 + 1 n0 ï  7Li3 + 4He2 113Cd48 + 1

n0 ï  114Cd48 + γ[5 MeV] The microscopic thermal absorption cross sections for B-10 and Cd-113 are 3841 b and 20,600 b respectively. Which of these two materials would be the more effective radiation shield? Explain

Solution :

The nuclear reaction for boron is given as :

$^{10}\textrm{B}_5 + ^{1}\textrm{n}_0 \rightarrow ^{7}\textrm{Li}_3 + ^{4}\textrm{He}_2$

And the reaction for Cadmium is :

$^{113}\textrm{Cd}_48 + ^{1}\textrm{n}_0 \rightarrow ^{114}\textrm{Cd}_48 + \gamma [5 \ \textrm{MeV}]$

We know that it is easier that to shield or stop an alpha particle (i.e. He nucli) as they can be stopped or obstructed by only a few centimetres of the material. However, the gamma rays ( γ ) can penetrate through the material to a greater distance. Therefore, we can choose the first one.

Determine the period of each of the following discrete-time signals (if a signal is not periodic, denote its period by infinity)
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

a) it is periodic

N = (20/3)k = 20 { for K =3}

b) it is Non-Periodic.

N = ∞

c) x(n) is periodic

N = LCM ( 5, 20 )

Explanation:

We know that In Discrete time system, complex exponentials and sinusoidal signals are periodic only when ( 2π/w₀) ratio is a rational number.

then the period of the signal is given as

N = ( 2π/w₀)K

k is least integer for which N is also integer

Now, if x(n) = x1(n) + x2(n) and if x1(n) and x2(n) are periodic then x(n) will also be periodic; given N = LCM of N1 and N2

now

a) cos(2π(0.15)n)

w₀ = 2π(0.15)

Now, 2π/w₀ = 2π/2π(0.15) = 1/(0.15) = 1×20 / ( 0.15×20) = 20/3

so, it is periodic

N = (20/3)k = 20 { for K =3}

b) cos(2n);

w₀ = 2

Now, 2π/w₀ = 2π/2) = π

so, it is Non-Periodic.

N = ∞

c)  cos(π0.3n) + cos(π0.4n)

x(n) = x1(n) + x2(n)

x1(n) = cos(π0.3n)

x2(n) =  cos(π0.4n)

so

w₀ = π0.3

2π/w₀  = 2π/π0.3 = 2/0.3 = ( 2×10)/(0.3×10) = 20/3

∴ N1 = 20

AND

w₀ = π0.4

2π/w₀  = 2π/π0. = 2/0.4 = ( 2×10)/(0.4×10) = 20/4 = 5

∴ N² = 5

so, x(n) is periodic

N = LCM ( 5, 20 )

Kerosene flows through 3/4 standard type K drawn copper tube. The pressure drop measured at two points 50 m apart is 130 kPa. De
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Q=4.98\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s

Explanation:

Given that

L= 50 m

Pressure drop = 130 KPa

For Copper tube is 3/4 standard type K drawn tube

Outside diameter=22.22 mm

Inside diameter=18.92 mm

Dynamic viscosity for kerosene

\mu =0.00164\ Pa.s

Pressure difference given as

\Delta P=\dfrac{128\mu QL}{\pi d_i^4}

Where

L is length of tube

μ is dynamic viscosity

Q is volume flow rate

d is inner diameter of tube

ΔP is pressure drop

Now by putting the values

\Delta P=\dfrac{128\mu QL}{\pi d_i^4}

130\times 1000=\dfrac{128\times 0.00164\times 50\times Q}{\pi\times 0.0189^4}

Q=4.98\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s

So flow rate is Q=4.98\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s
