) A flow is divided into two branches, with the pipe diameter and length the same for each branch. A 1/4-open gate valve is inst

alled in line A, and a 1/3-closed ball valve is installed in line B. The head loss due to friction in each branch is negligible compared with the head loss across the valves. Find the ratio of the velocity in line A to that in line B (include elbow losses for threaded pipe fittings).

Answer:

Va / Vb = 0.5934

Explanation:

First step is to determine total head losses at each pipe

at Pipe A

For 1/4 open gate valve head loss = 17 *Va^2 / 2g

elbow loss = 0.75 Va^2 / 2g

at Pipe B

For 1/3 closed ball valve head loss = 5.5 *Vb^2 / 2g

elbow loss = 0.75 * Vb^2 / 2g

Given that both pipes are parallel

17 *Va^2/2g +  0.75*Va^2 / 2g = 5.5 *Vb^2 / 2g  + 0.75 * Vb^2 / 2g

∴ Va / Vb = 0.5934

Writing an excellent problem statement will not help guide you through the rest of the process and steer you towards the BEST so
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Writing an excellent problem statement will not help guide you through the rest of the process and steer you towards the BEST solution.

False

Explanation:

An excellent problem statement sets the overall tone for the rest of the engineering process, whether it be at the analysis, design, or implementation stages.  This is why a problem statement must be focused, clear, and specific.  An excellent problem statement contains the problem definition, method for solving the problem (the claim proposed), purpose, statement of objectives, and scope.  For an excellent problem statement to be effective, it must also show the gap that is to be closed to achieve the intended objective.

A 11-cm-diameter horizontal jet of water with a velocity of 40 m/s relative to the ground strikes a flat plate that is moving in
Reika [66]

Answer:

F = 8552.7N

Explanation:

We need first our values, that are,

V_{jet} = 40m/s\\V_{Plate} = 10m/s \\D = 11cm

We start to calculate the relative velocity, that is,

V_r = V_{jet}-V_{plate}\\V_r = (40)-(10)\\V_r = 30m/s

With the relative velocity we can calculate the mass flow rate, given by,

\dot{m}_r = \rho A V_r

\dot{m}_r = (1000)(30) \frac{\pi (0.11)^2}{4}

\dot{m}_r = 285.09kg/s

We need to define the Force in the direction of the flow,

\sum\vec{F} = \sum_{out} \beta\dot{m}\vec{V} - \sum_{in} \beta\dot{m} \vec{V}\\

F = \dot{m}V_r

F = (285.09Kg/s)(30)

F = 8552.7N

fgiga [73]

Answer: 1.137*10^7 Btu/h.

Explanation:

Given data:

Efficiency of the plant = 4.5percent

Net power output of the plant = 150kw

Solution:

The required collection rate

QH = W/n

= 150/0.045 * 0.94782/ 1 /60 */60 Btu/h.

= 3333.333 *3412.152Btu/h.

= 11373840 Btu/h

= 1.137*10^7 Btu/h.

Takt time is the rate at which a factory must produce to satisfy the customer's demand. a)- True b)- False
laila [671]

Answer: a)True

Explanation: Takt time is defined as the average time difference between  the production of the two consecutive unit of goods by the manufacturer and this rate is matched with the demand of the customer. This is the time which is calculated to find the acceptable time for which the goods unit must be produced  by the factory to meet the needs of the customer. Therefore , the statement is true that takt time is the rate at which a factory must produce to satisfy the customer's demand.
