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.

kari74 [83]

Answer: environmental impact

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Harlin is designing a new car engine that does not create pollution.

The technological design factor which is probably the most important for the design is the impact on the environment.

Pollution has a negative effect on the environment a d doing this shows that emphasis is placed on how the environmental issue of pollution can be tackled.

The fracture toughness of a stainless steel is 137 MPa*m12. What is the tensile impact load sustainable before fracture that a r
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

7.7 kN

Explanation:

The capacity of a material having a crack to withstand fracture is referred to as fracture toughness.

It can be expressed by using the formula:

K = \sigma Y \sqrt{\pi a}

where;

fracture toughness K = 137 MPam^{1/2}

geometry factor Y = 1

applied stress \sigma = ???

crack length a = 2mm = 0.002

∴

137 =\sigma \times 1  \sqrt{ \pi \times 0.002 }

137 =\sigma \times 0.07926

\dfrac{137}{0.07926} =\sigma

\sigma = 1728.489 MPa

Now, the tensile impact obtained is:

\sigma = \dfrac{P}{A}

P = A × σ

P = 1728.289 × 4.5

P = 7777.30 N

P = 7.7 kN
