An engineer lives in Hawaii at a location where the annual rain fall is 300 inches. She decides to use the rain to generate elec

tricity. She places a rain barrel in a tree at a height of 100 ft. If the volumetric flow rate of water in the system is 3.6x10-6 ft3 /s, what is the average rate that power that could be generated in one year (in lbf-ft/hr)? [Ws= 80.7 lbfft/hr]

Answer:

80.7lbft/hr

Explanation:

Flow rate of water in the system = 3.6x10^-6

The height h = 100

1s = 1/3600h

This implies that

Q = 3.6x10^-6/[1/3600]

Q = 0.0000036/0.000278

Q = 0.01295

Then the power is given as

P = rQh

The specific weight of water = 62.3 lb/ft³

P = 62.3 x 0.01295 x 100

P = 80.675lbft/h

When approximated

P = 80.7 lbft/h

This is the average power that could be generated in a year.

This answers the question and also corresponds with the answer in the question.

Two wastewater treatment plant workers (one male and one female) are exposed to hydrogen sulfide in confined spaces in the treat
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Go to explaination for the details of the answer.

Explanation:

In order to determine the lifetime (75 years) chronic daily exposure for each individual, we have to first state the terms of our equation:

CDI = Chronic Daily Intake

C= Chemical concentration

CR= Contact Rate

EFD= Exposure Frequency and Distribution

BW= Body Weight

AT = Average Time.

Having names our variables lets create the equations that will be used to derive our answers.

Please kindly check attachment for details of the answer.

Which of the following has special properties that allow forces and pressure to be distributed evenly?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Fluids

Explanation:

Fluids has special properties that allow forces and pressure to be distributed evenly within them.

  • Fluids are gases and liquids whose intermolecular forces of attraction are generally weak or non-existence.
  • Therefore, when pressure is applied to them, it permeates evenly on all parts.
  • Their ability to tend to randomness makes liquids and gases very viable for distributing pressure.

The heat transfer coefficient decreases with increasing x for both the laminar and turbulent regions a. True b. False
REY [17]

Answer:

A) True  

Explanation:

Yes this is true when length is creases the heat transfer coefficient decease with length.

The heat transfer(h) coefficient is varying with x by given expression

For Laminar flow

h \alpha \dfrac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}}

For turbulent flow

h \alpha \dfrac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{5}}}

But when flow is in transitional state the heat heat transfer(h) coefficient is increases with x.But for laminar as well as turbulent flow h is decrease when x increases.

State the four advantages of levers
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Here are 2 sense i cant find 4

Explanation:

Levers are used to multiply force, In other words, using a lever gives you greater force or power than the effort you put in.

In a lever, if the distance from the effort to the fulcrum is longer than the distance from the load to the fulcrum, this gives a greater mechanical advantage.
