Answer:

The corresponding absolute pressure of the boiler is 24.696 pounds per square inch.

Explanation:

From Fluid Mechanics, we remember that absolute pressure ( $p_{abs}$ ), measured in pounds per square inch, is the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the working pressure (gauge pressure). That is:

$p_{abs} = p_{atm}+p_{g}$ (1)

Where:

$p_{atm}$ - Atmospheric pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.

$p_{g}$ - Working pressured of the boiler (gauge pressure), measured in pounds per square inch.

If we suppose that $p_{atm} = 14.696\,psi$ and $p_{g} = 10\,psi$ , then the absolute pressure is:

$p_{abs} = 14.696\,psi+10\,psi$

$p_{abs} = 24.696\,psi$

The corresponding absolute pressure of the boiler is 24.696 pounds per square inch.

(20 points) A 1 mm diameter tube is connected to the bottom of a container filled with water to a height of 2 cm from the bottom

zzz [600]

Solution :

Given :

h = 2 cm

Diameter of the tube , d = 1 mm

Diameter of the hose, D = 6 mm

Between 1 and 2, by applying Bernoulli's principle, we get

As point 1 is just below the free surface of liquid, so

$P_1=P_{atm} \text{ and} \ V_1=0$

$\frac{P_{atm}}{\rho g}+\frac{v_1^2}{2g} +h = \frac{P_2}{\rho g}$

$\frac{101.325}{1000 \times 9.81}+0.02 =\frac{P_2}{\rho g}$

$P_2 = 111.35 \ kPa$

Therefore, 111.325 kPa is the gas supply pressure required to keep the water from leaking back into the tube.

Velocity at point 2,

$V_2=\sqrt{\left(\frac{111.135}{\rho g}+0.02}\right)\times 2g$

= 1.617 m/s

Flow of water, $Q_2 = A_{tube} \times V_2$

$=\frac{\pi}{4} \times (10^{-3})^2 \times 1.617$

$1.2695 \times 10^{-6} \ m^3/s$

Minimum air flow rate,

$Q_2 = Q_3 = A_{hose} \times V_3$

$V_3 = \frac{Q_2}{\frac{\pi}{4}D^2}$

$V_3 = \frac{1.2695 \times10^{-6}}{\pi\times 0.25 \times 36 \times 10^{-6}}$

= 0.0449 m/s

b). Reynolds number in hose,

$Re = \frac{\rho V_3 D}{\mu} = \frac{V_3 D}{\nu}$

υ for water at 25 degree Celsius is $8.9 \times 10^{-7} \ m^2/s$

υ for air at 25 degree Celsius is $1.562 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2/s$

$Re_{hose}=\frac{0.0449 \times 6 \times 10^{-3}}{1.562 \times 10^{-5}}$

= 17.25

Therefore the flow is laminar.

Reynolds number in the pipe

$Re = \frac{V_2 d}{\nu} = \frac{1.617 \times 10^{-3}}{8.9 \times 10^{-7}}$

= 1816.85, which is less than 2000.

So the flow is laminar inside the tube.

Answer:

As many variables as we can coherently communicate in 2 dimensions

Explanation:

Visualization is a descriptive analytical technique that enables people to see trends and dependencies of data with the aid of graphical information tools. Some of the examples of visualization techniques are pie charts, graphs, bar charts, maps, scatter plots, correlation matrices etc.

When we utilize a visualization on paper/screen, that visualization is limited to exploring as many variables as we can coherently communicate in 2-dimensions (2D).
