Answer:

Explanation:

Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges can build up on the surface of an object until they find a way to be released or discharged.

A 2-cm-diameter vertical water jet is injected upward by a nozzle at a speed of 15 m/s. Determine the maximum weight of a flat p

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:58.28 N

Explanation:

Given data

$dia. of nozzle \left ( d\right )=2 cm$

$initial velocity\left ( u\right )=15 m/s$

$height\left ( h\right )=2m$

Now velocity of jet at height of 2m

$v^2-u^2=2gh$

$v^2=15^2-2\left ( 9.81\right )\left ( 2\right )$

$v=\sqrt{185.76}=13.62 m/s$

$Now\ forces\ on\ plate\ are\ weight\left ( Downward\right ) and jet\ force\left ( upward\right )$

equating them

W= $\left ( \rho Av\right )v$

W= $10^{3}\times \frac{\pi}{4}\left ( 0.02\right )^2\times 13.62^2$

W=58.28 N

In normal operation, a paper mill generates excess steam at 20 bar and 400◦C. It is planned to use this steam as the feed to a t

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The maximum power that can be generated is 127.788 kW

Explanation:

Using the steam table

Enthalpy at 20 bar = 2799 kJ/kg

Enthalpy at 2 bar = 2707 kJ/kg

Change in enthalpy = 2799 - 2707 = 92 kJ/kg

Mass flow rate of steam = 5000 kg/hr = 5000 kJ/hr × 1 hr/3600 s = 1.389 kg/s

Maximum power generated = change in enthalpy × mass flow rate = 92 kJ/kg × 1.389 kg/s = 127.788 kJ/s = 127.788 kW

An equal-tangent sag vertical curve (with a negative initial and a positive final grade) is designed for 55 mi/h. The PVI is at

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.

Explanation:

Length of curve is given as

$L=2(PVT-PVI)\\L=2(242+30-240+00)\\L=2(230)\\L=460 ft$

$G_2$ is given as

$G_2=\frac{E_{PVT}-E_{PVI}}{0.5L}\\G_2=\frac{127.5-122}{0.5*460}\\G_2=0.025=2.5 \%$

The K value is given from the table 3.3 for 55 mi/hr is 115. So the value of A is given as

$A=\frac{L}{K}\\A=\frac{460}{115}\\A=4$

A is given as

$-G_1=A-G_2\\-G_1=4.0-2.5\\-G_1=1.5\\G_1=-1.5\%$

With initial grade, the elevation of PVC is

$E_{PVC}=E_{PVI}+G_1(L/2)\\E_{PVC}=122+1.5%(460/2)\\E_{PVC}=125.45 ft\\$

The station is given as

$St_{PVC}=St_{PVI}-(L/2)\\St_{PVC}=24000-(230)\\St_{PVC}=237+70\\$

Low point is given as

$x=K \times |G_1|\\x=115 \times 1.5\\x=172.5 ft$

The station of low point is given as

$St_{low}=St_{PVC}-(x)\\St_{low}=23770+(172.5)\\St_{low}=239+42.5 ft\\$

The elevation is given as

$E_{low}=\frac{G_2-G_1}{2L} x^2+G_1x+E_{PVC}\\E_{low}=\frac{2.5-(-1.5)}{2*460} (1.72)^2+(-1.5)*(1.72)+125.45\\E_{low}=124.16 ft$

So the lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.
