Answer:

1) the volume of solid (Vs) is 4733.33 ft³

2) the total cost to pay Pit A is $58220

3) the total cost to pay to Pit B is $53344.67

4) the total cost to pay to Pit C is $34269.32

5) the total cost to pay to Pit D is $49132.02

Explanation:

given the data in the question;

Vs = ?, V = 7100 ft³, e = 0.5

1) Calculate the volume of solid (Vs)

Vs = V / ( 1 + e )

we substitute

Vs = 7100 / ( 1 + 0.5 )

Vs = 7100 / 1.5

Vs = 4733.33 ft³

Therefore, the volume of solid (Vs) is 4733.33 ft³

2) Calculate the total cost to pay to Pit A

VpitA / Vcomp = ( 1 + e $_{PHA}$ ) / ( 1 + e $_{comp$ )

we substitute

VpitA / 7100 = ( 1 + 1.5) / ( 1 + 0.5)

VpitA / 7100 = 1.3666666

VpitA = 1.3666666 × 7100

VpitA = 9703.33 ft³

Total cost = volume × unit cost = 9703.33 ft³ × 6 = $58220

Therefore, the total cost to pay Pit A is $58220

3) Calculate the total cost to pay to Pit B = Borrow Pit C: void ratio = 0.81 and the unit cost = $ 4 /ft3

Vpitb / Vcomp = ( 1 + e $_{PHB}$ ) / ( 1 + e $_{comp$ )

we substitute

VpitB / 7100 = ( 1 + 0.61) / ( 1 + 0.5)

VpitB / 7100 = 1.0733333

VpitB = 1.0733333 × 7100

VpitB = 7620.666 ft³

Total cost = volume × unit cost = 7620.666 × 7 = $53344.67

Therefore, the total cost to pay to Pit B is $53344.67

4) Calculate the total cost to pay to Pit C = Borrow Pit D: void ratio = 0.73 and the unit cost = $6 /ft3

VpitC / Vcomp = ( 1 + e $_{PHC}$ ) / ( 1 + e $_{comp$ )

we substitute

VpitC / 7100 = ( 1 + 0.81) / ( 1 + 0.5)

VpitC / 7100 = 1.2066666

VpitC = 1.2066666× 7100

VpitC = 8567.33 ft³

Total cost = volume × unit cost = 8567.33 × 4 = $34269.32

Therefore, the total cost to pay to Pit C is $34269.32

5) Calculate the total cost to pay to Pit D

VpitD / Vcomp = ( 1 + e $_{PHD}$ ) / ( 1 + e $_{comp$ )

we substitute

VpitD / 7100 = ( 1 + 0.73) / ( 1 + 0.5)

VpitD / 7100 = 1.1533333

VpitD = 1.1533333 × 7100

VpitD = 8188.67 ft³

Total cost = volume × unit cost = 8188.67 × 6 = $49132.02

Therefore, the total cost to pay to Pit D is $49132.02

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy$

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.

Air at T1 = 32°C, p1 = 1 bar, 50% relative humidity enters an insulated chamber operating at steady state with a mass flow rate

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

4.5kg/min

Explanation:

Given parameters

$T_1 = 32^0 C, m_1 = 3 kg/min, T_2 = 7^0 C ,T_3 = 17^0$

if we take

The mass flow rate of the second stream = $m_2(kg/min)$

The mass flow rate of mixed exit stream = $m_3 (kg/min)$

Now from mass conservation

$m_3 = m_2 + m_1$

$m_3 = m_2 + 3 (kg/min)$

The temperature of the mixed exit stream given as

$T_3m_3 = T_2m_2 +T_1m_1\\\\17 ( 3 + m_2) = 7 \times m_2 + 32 \times 3\\\\51 + 17 m_2 = 7 m_2 + 96\\\\10 m_2 = 96 - 51\\\\m_2 = 4.5 kg/min\\\\\\\\$

Therefore the mass flow rate of second stream will be 4.5 kg/min.

Water vapor at 100 psi, 500 F and a velocity of 100 ft./sec enters a nozzle operating at steady sate and expands adiabatically t

almond37 [142]

Answer:

a)exit velocity of the steam, V2 = 2016.8 ft/s

b) the amount of entropy produced is 0.006 Btu/Ibm.R

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 100 psi

V1 = 100 ft./sec

T1 = 500f

P2 = 40 psi

n = 95% = 0.95

a) for nozzle:

Let's apply steady gas equation.

$h_1 + \frac{(v_1) ^2}{2} = h_2 + \frac{(v_2)^2}{2}$

h1 and h2 = inlet and exit enthalpy respectively.

At T1 = 500f and P1 = 100 psi,

h1 = 1278.8 Btu/Ibm

s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

At P2 = 40psi and s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

1193.5 Btu/Ibm

Let's find the actual h2 using the formula :

$n = \frac{h_1 - h_2*}{h_1 - h_2}$

$n = \frac{1278.8 - h_2*}{1278.8 - 1193.5}$

solving for h2, we have

$h_2 = 1197.77 Btu/Ibm$

Take Btu/Ibm = 25037 ft²/s²

Using the first equation, exit velocity of the steam =

$(1278.8 * 25037) + \frac{(100)^2}{2}= (1197.77*25037)+ \frac{(V_2)^2}{2}$

Solving for V2, we have

V2 = 2016.8 ft/s

b) The amount of entropy produced in BTU/ lbm R will be calculated using :

Δs = s2 - s1

Where s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

At h2 = 1197.77 Btu/Ibm and P2 =40 psi,

S2 = 1.714 Btu/Ibm.R

Therefore, amount of entropy produced will be:

Δs = 1.714Btu/Ibm.R - 1.708Btu/Ibm.R

= 0.006 Btu/Ibm.R
