Answer:

There is a huge difference between theory vs. practice. Theory assumes an outcome, while practice allows you to test the theory and see if it is accurate.

Theory and Practice Explained

Practice is the observation of disparate concepts (or a phenomenon) that needs explanation. A theory is a proposed explanation of the relationship between two or more concepts, or an explanation for how/why a phenomenon occurs.

How can we calculate the speed of the output gear in a simple gear train? Explain with the help of an example.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

$N_3=\dfrac{T_1}{T_3}N_1$

Explanation:

In the diagram there three gears in which gear 1 is input gear ,gear 2 is idle gear and gear 3 is out put gear.

Lets take

$Speed\ of\ gear 1=N_1$

$Number\ of\ teeth\ of\ gear 1=T_1$

$Speed\ of\ gear 3=N_3$

$Number\ of\ teeth\ of\ gear 3=T_3$

All external matting gears will rotates in opposite direction with respect to each other.

So the speed of gear third can be given as follows

$\dfrac{T_1}{T_3}=\dfrac{N_3}{N_1}$

$N_3=\dfrac{T_1}{T_3}N_1$

The mass flow rate in a 4.0-m wide, 2.0-m deep channel is 4000 kg/s of water. If the velocity distribution in the channel is lin

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

V = 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

given data:

width of channel = 4 m

depth of channel = 2 m

mass flow rate = 4000 kg/s = 4 m3/s

we know that mass flow rate is given as

$\dot{m}=\rho AV$

Putting all the value to get the velocity of the flow

$\frac{\dot{m}}{\rho A} = V$

$V = \frac{4000}{1000*4*2}$

V = 0.5 m/s

A well is located in a 20.1-m thick confined aquifer with a conductivity of 14.9 m/day and a storativity of 0.0051. If the well

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

S = 5.7209 M

Explanation:

Given data:

B = 20.1 m

conductivity ( K ) = 14.9 m/day

Storativity ( s ) = 0.0051

1 gpm = 5.451 m^3/day

calculate the Transmissibility ( T ) = K * B

= 14.9 * 20.1 = 299.5 m^2/day

Note :

t = 1

U = ( r^2* S ) / (4*T*<em> t </em>)

= ( 7^2 * 0.0051 ) / ( 4 * 299.5 * 1 ) = 2.0859 * 10^-4

Applying the thesis method

W(u) = -0.5772 - In(U)

= 7.9

next we calculate the pumping rate from well ( Q ) in m^3/day

= 500 * 5.451 m^3 /day

= 2725.5 m^3 /day

Finally calculate the drawdown at a distance of 7.0 m form the well after 1 day of pumping

S = $\frac{Q}{4\pi T} * W (u)$

where : Q = 2725.5

T = 299.5

W(u) = 7.9

substitute the given values into equation above

S = 5.7209 M

11–17 A long, thin-walled double-pipe heat exchanger with tube and shell diameters of 1.0 cm and 2.5 cm, respectively, is used t

lana [24]

Answer:

the overall heat transfer coefficient of this heat exchanger is 1855.8923 W/m²°C

Explanation:

Given:

d₁ = diameter of the tube = 1 cm = 0.01 m

d₂ = diameter of the shell = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

Refrigerant-134a

20°C is the temperature of water

h₁ = convection heat transfer coefficient = 4100 W/m² K

Water flows at a rate of 0.3 kg/s

Question: Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient of this heat exchanger, Q = ?

First at all, you need to get the properties of water at 20°C in tables:

k = 0.598 W/m°C

v = 1.004x10⁻⁶m²/s

Pr = 7.01

ρ = 998 kg/m³

Now, you need to calculate the velocity of the water that flows through the shell:

$v_{w} =\frac{m}{\rho \pi (\frac{d_{2}^{2}-d_{1}^{2} }{4} )} =\frac{0.3}{998*\pi (\frac{0.025^{2}-0.01^{2} }{4}) } =0.729m/s$

It is necessary to get the Reynold's number:

$Re=\frac{v_{w}(d_{2}-d_{1}) }{v} =\frac{0.729*(0.025-0.01)}{1.004x10^{-6} } =10891.4343$

Like the Reynold's number is greater than 10000, the regime is turbulent. Now, the Nusselt's number:

$Nu=0.023Re^{0.8} Pr^{0.4} =0.023*(10891.4343)^{0.8} *(7.01)^{0.4} =85.0517$

The overall heat transfer coefficient:

$Q=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{h_{1} }+\frac{1}{h_{2} } }$

Here

$h_{2} =\frac{kNu}{d_{2}-d_{1}} =\frac{0.598*85.0517}{0.025-0.01} =3390.7278W/m^{2}C$

Substituting values:

$Q=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{4100}+\frac{1}{3390.7278} } =1855.8923W/m^{2} C$
