Answer:

The risk of catastrophic wildfire is a real and serious threat facing those who reside in the forested areas of Boulder County. Dating back to the Black Tiger Fire of 1989, wildfires have collectively destroyed some 250 homes or other structures, burned over 16,000 acres, and threatened the lives and properties of thousands of mountain residents. In an attempt to mitigate the loss of life and property in Boulder County, the Land Use Department has included wildfire mitigation measures in the planning review and building permit process.

A pressure gage connected to a tank reads 50 psi at a location where the barometric reading is 29.1 inches Hg. Determine the abs

Effectus [21]

Answer:

Absolute pressure , P(abs)= 433.31 KPa

Explanation:

Given that

Gauge pressure P(gauge)= 50 psi

We know that barometer reads atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure P(atm) = 29.1 inches of Hg

We know that

1 psi = 6.89 KPa

So 50 psi = 6.89 x 50 KPa

P(gauge)= 50 psi =344.72 KPa

We know that

1 inch = 0.0254 m

29.1 inches = 0.739 m

Atmospheric pressure P(atm) = 0.739 m of Hg

We know that density of Hg = $13.6\times 10^3\ kg/m^3$

P = ρ g h

P(atm) = 13.6 x 1000 x 9.81 x 0.739 Pa

P(atm) = 13.6 x 9.81 x 0.739 KPa

P(atm) =98.54 KPa

Now

Absolute pressure = Gauge pressure + Atmospheric pressure

P(abs)=P(gauge) + P(atm)

P(abs)= 344.72 KPa + 98.54 KPa

P(abs)= 433.31 KPa

A venturi meter is to be installed in a 63 mm bore section of a piping system to measure the flow rate of water in it. From spac

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Throat diameter $d_2$ =28.60 mm

Explanation:

Bore diameter $d_1=63mm$ ⇒ $A_1=3.09\times 10^{-3} m^2$

Manometric deflection x=235 mm

Flow rate Q=240 Lt/min⇒ Q=.004 $\frac{m^3}{s}$

Coefficient of discharge $C_d$ =0.8

We know that discharge through venturi meter

$Q=C_d\dfrac{A_1A_2\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}$

$h=x(\dfrac{S_m}{S_w}-1)$

$S_m$ =13.6 for Hg and $S_w$ =1 for water.

$h=0.235(\dfrac{13.6}{1}-1)$

h=2.961 m

Now by putting the all value in

$Q=C_d\dfrac{A_1A_2\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}$

$0.004=0.8\times \dfrac{3.09\times 10^{-3} A_2\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 2.961}}{\sqrt{(3.09\times 10^{-3})^2-A_2^2}}$

$A_2=6.42\times 10^{-4} m^2$

⇒ $d_2$ =28.60 mm

So throat diameter $d_2$ =28.60 mm

List one advantage and one disadvantage of the use of the commutator?

Mariulka [41]

Answer and Explanation:

Commutator are used in DC machine commutator is mainly used for the reversing the direction of the current .It is connected to the armature of the DC generator or motor

ADVANTAGE OF COMMUTATOR The main advantage of the commutator in DC motor is to keep keep the direction of the toque always in the same direction by changing the current direction

DISADVANTAGE OF COMMUTATOR : The main disadvantage is due to the friction between the commutator and brushes there is a friction loss.
