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.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

61257.6 kW per day

Explanation:

The rating of the refrigerator is given as : 709 w

This means the power consumption is 709 joules per second

The operating time is given as 10 hours.

Change hours to second as

1 hour = 3600 seconds

10 hours = 36000 seconds

Apply the rating as;

709 w = 1 s

?         = 36000 seconds

perform cross product to get;

709 * 36000= 25524000 w

25524000 = 25524kW

For a day, 24 hours will be;

25524 kW = 10 hours

?                 =24 hours

={24*25524}/10 = 61257.6 kW per day

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be "400.4 N". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass of truck,

m = 600 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

On equating torques at the point O,

⇒  T\times Cos(10+5)\times (1.3+4)=mg\times Sin(5)\times 4

So that,

On putting the values, we get

⇒  T\times Cos(15^{\circ})\times 5.3=600\times 9.8\times Sin(5^{\circ})\times 4

⇒                             T=400.4 \ N

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

volume of 20.9 N

= 20.9 / 11.5 m³

= 1.8174 m³

In one hour 1.8174 m³ flows

in one second volume flowing = 1.8174 / 60 x 60

= 5 x 10⁻⁴ m³

Rate of volume flow = 5 x 10⁻⁴ m³ / s .
