Answer:

The percentage of recycling in high socioeconomic localities is 11.02%.

Explanation:

Since in high socioeconomic localities, 10% of paper is recycled, 12% of plastic, 1.7% of fabrics, 1.2% of rubbers, 0.9% of metals, 3.5% of glass, 33% of food wastes, 35% soil and 1.9% miscellaneous, to determine the average recycling percentage the following calculation must be performed:

(10 + 12 + 1.7 + 1.2 + 0.9 + 3.5 + 33 + 35 + 1.9) / 9 = X

99.2 / 9 = X

11.02 = X

Therefore, the percentage of recycling in high socioeconomic localities is 11.02%.

A 11-cm-diameter horizontal jet of water with a velocity of 40 m/s relative to the ground strikes a flat plate that is moving in

Reika [66]

Answer:

F = 8552.7N

Explanation:

We need first our values, that are,

$V_{jet} = 40m/s\\V_{Plate} = 10m/s \\D = 11cm$

We start to calculate the relative velocity, that is,

$V_r = V_{jet}-V_{plate}\\V_r = (40)-(10)\\V_r = 30m/s$

With the relative velocity we can calculate the mass flow rate, given by,

$\dot{m}_r = \rho A V_r$

$\dot{m}_r = (1000)(30) \frac{\pi (0.11)^2}{4}$

$\dot{m}_r = 285.09kg/s$

We need to define the Force in the direction of the flow,

$\sum\vec{F} = \sum_{out} \beta\dot{m}\vec{V} - \sum_{in} \beta\dot{m} \vec{V}\\$

$F = \dot{m}V_r$

$F = (285.09Kg/s)(30)$

$F = 8552.7N$

Convert 25 mm into in.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

25 mm = 0.984252 inches

Explanation:

Millimeter and inches are both units of distance. The conversion of millimeter into inches is shown below:

1 mm = 1/25.4 inches

From the question, we have to convert 25 mm into inches

Thus,

25 mm = (1/25.4)*25 inches

So,

$25 mm=\frac{25}{25.4} inches$

Thus, solving we get:

25 mm = 0.984252 inches

Refrigerant 134a enters the evaporator of a refrigeration system operating at steady state at -16oC and a quality of 20% at a ve

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

mass flow rate = 0.0534 kg/sec

velocity at exit = 29.34 m/sec

Explanation:

From the information given:

Inlet:

Temperature $T_1 = -16^0\ C$

Quality $x_1 = 0.2$

Outlet:

Temperature $T_2 = -16^0 C$

Quality $x_2 = 1$

The following data were obtained at saturation properties of R134a at the temperature of -16° C

$v_f= 0.7428 \times 10^{-3} \ m^3/kg \\ \\ v_g = 0.1247 \ m^3 /kg$

$v_1 = v_f + x_1 ( vg - ( v_f)) \\ \\ v_1 = 0.7428 \times 10^{-3} + 0.2 (0.1247 -(0.7428 \times 10^{-3})) \\ \\ v_1 = 0.0255 \ m^3/kg \\ \\ \\ v_2 = v_g = 0.1247 \ m^3/kg$

$m = \rho_1A_1v_1 = \rho_2A_2v_2 \\ \\ m = \dfrac{1}{0.0255} \times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (1.7 \times 10^{-2})^2\times 6 \\ \\ \mathbf{m = 0.0534 \ kg/sec}$

$\rho_1A_1v_1 = \rho_2A_2v_2 \\ \\ A_1 =A_2 \\ \\ \rho_1v_1 = \rho_2v_2 \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{1}{0.0255} \times6 = \dfrac{1}{0.1247}\times (v_2)\\ \\ \\\mathbf{\\ v_2 = 29.34 \ m/sec}$
