Answer:

Sediment gravity flows are mixtures of water and sediment particles where the gravity acting on the sediment particles moves the fluid, in contrast to rivers, where the fluid moves the particles.

A 150-lbm astronaut took his bathroom scale (a spring scale) and a beam scale (compares masses) to the moon where the local grav

kozerog [31]

Answer:

a)Wt =25.68 lbf

b)Wt = 150 lbf

F= 899.59 N

Explanation:

Given that

$g = 5.48 ft/s^2.$

m= 150 lbm

Weight on the spring scale(Wt) = m g

We know that

$1\ lbf=32.17 \ lmb.ft/s^2$

Wt = 150 x 5.48/32 lbf

Wt =25.68 lbf

On the beam scale

This is scale which does not affects by gravitational acceleration.So the wight on the beam scale will be 150 lbf.

Wt = 150 lbf

If the plane is moving upward with acceleration 6 g's then the for F

F = m a

We know that

$1\ ft/s^2= 0.304\ m/s^2$

$5.48\ ft/s^2= 1.66\ m/s^2$

a=6 g's

$a=9.99\ m/s^2$

F = 90 x 9.99 N

F= 899.59 N

What is acid mine drainage

avanturin [10]

Acid mine drainage is the formation and movement of highly acidic water rich in heavy metals. This acidic water forms through the chemical reaction of surface water (rainwater, snowmelt, pond water) and shallow subsurface water with rocks that contain sulfur-bearing minerals, resulting in sulfuric acid.

simple Brayton cycle using air as the working fluid has a pressure ratio of 10. The minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycl

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

a) 764.45K

b) 210.48 kJ/kg

c) 30.14%

Explanation:

pressure ratio = 10

minimum temperature = 295 k

maximum temperature = 1240 k

isentropic efficiency for compressor = 83%

Isentropic efficiency for turbine = 87%

a) Air temperature at turbine exit

we can achieve this by interpolating for enthalpy

h4 = 783.05 kJ/kg ( calculated in the background ) at state 4 using Table A-17 for Ideal gas properties of air

T4 ( temperature at Turbine exit ) = 760 + ( 780 - 760 ) $(\frac{783.05-778.18}{800.13-778.18} )$ = 764.45K

b) The net work output

first we determine the actual work input to compressor

Wc = h2 - h1 ( calculated values )

= 626.57 - 295.17 = 331.4 kJ/kg

next determine the actual work done by Turbine

Wt = h3 - h4 ( calculated values )

= 1324.93 - 783.05 = 541.88 kJ/kg

finally determine the network output of the cycle

Wnet = Wt - Wc

= 541.88 - 331.4 = 210.48 kJ/kg

c) determine thermal efficiency

лth = Wnet / qin ------ ( 1 )

where ; qin = h3 - h2

equation 1 becomes

лth = Wnet / ( h3 - h2 )

= 210.48 / ( 1324.93 - 626.57 )

= 0.3014 = 30.14%

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

A 13.7g sample of a compound exerts a pressure of 2.01atm in a 0.750L flask at 399K. What is the molar mass of the compound?a. 3

Katarina [22]

Answer: Option D) 298 g/mol is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that;

Mass of sample m = 13.7 g

pressure P = 2.01 atm

Volume V = 0.750 L

Temperature T = 399 K

Now taking a look at the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

we solve for n

n = PV/RT

now we substitute

n = (2.01 atm x 0.750 L) / (0.0821 L-atm/mol-K x 399 K )

= 1.5075 / 32.7579

= 0.04601 mol

we know that

molar mass of the compound = mass / moles

Molar Mass = 13.7 g / 0.04601 mol

= 297.7 g/mol ≈ 298 g/mol

Therefore Option D) 298 g/mol is the correct answer
