Answer:

Reservoirs usually have zero pressure

Explanation:

accumulators are controlled by pressure valves while reservoirs are not

accumulators "accumulate" pressure while reservoirs are used to store "overflow" fluids for later use if needed

Water flows steadily through the pipe as shown below, such that the pressure at section (1) and at section (2) are 300 kPa and 1

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The velocity at section is approximately 42.2 m/s

Explanation:

For the water flowing through the pipe, we have;

The pressure at section (1), P₁ = 300 kPa

The pressure at section (2), P₂ = 100 kPa

The diameter at section (1), D₁ = 0.1 m

The height of section (1) above section (2), D₂ = 50 m

The velocity at section (1), v₁ = 20 m/s

Let 'v₂' represent the velocity at section (2)

According to Bernoulli's equation, we have;

$z_1 + \dfrac{P_1}{\rho \cdot g} + \dfrac{v^2_1}{2 \cdot g} = z_2 + \dfrac{P_2}{\rho \cdot g} + \dfrac{v^2_2}{2 \cdot g}$

Where;

ρ = The density of water = 997 kg/m³

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

z₁ = 50 m

z₂ = The reference = 0 m

By plugging in the values, we have;

$50 \, m + \dfrac{300 \ kPa}{997 \, kg/m^3 \times 9.8 \, m/s^2} + \dfrac{(20 \, m/s)^2}{2 \times 9.8 \, m/s^2} = \dfrac{100 \ kPa}{997 \, kg/m^3 \times 9.8 \, m/s^2} + \dfrac{v_2^2}{2 \times 9.8 \, m/s^2}$ 50 m + 30.704358 m + 20.4081633 m = 10.234786 m + $\dfrac{v_2^2}{2 \times 9.8 \, m/s^2}$

50 m + 30.704358 m + 20.4081633 m - 10.234786 m = $\dfrac{v_2^2}{2 \times 9.8 \, m/s^2}$

90.8777353 m = $\dfrac{v_2^2}{2 \times 9.8 \, m/s^2}$

v₂² = 2 × 9.8 m/s² × 90.8777353 m

v₂² = 1,781.20361 m²/s²

v₂ = √(1,781.20361 m²/s²) ≈ 42.204308 m/s

The velocity at section (2), v₂ ≈ 42.2 m/s

At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 5 mph. Suppose that the mass density of air is 0.0796 lbm/ft3 and determine t

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The radius of a wind turbine is 691.1 ft

The power generation potential (PGP) scales with speed at the rate of 7.73 kW.s/m

Explanation:

Given;

power generation potential (PGP) = 1000 kW

Wind speed = 5 mph = 2.2352 m/s

Density of air = 0.0796 lbm/ft³ = 1.275 kg/m³

Radius of the wind turbine r = ?

Wind energy per unit mass of air, e = E/m = 0.5 v² = (0.5)(2.2352)²

Wind energy per unit mass of air = 2.517 J/kg

PGP = mass flow rate * energy per unit mass

PGP = ρ*A*V*e

$PGP = \rho *\frac{\pi r^2}{2} *V*e \\\\r^2 = \frac{2*PGP}{\rho*\pi *V*e} , r=\sqrt{ \frac{2*PGP}{\rho*\pi *V*e}} = \sqrt{ \frac{2*10^6}{1.275*\pi *2.235*2.517}}$

r = 210.64 m = 691.1 ft

Thus, the radius of a wind turbine is 691.1 ft

PGP = CVᵃ

For best design of wind turbine Betz limit (c) is taken between (0.35 - 0.45)

Let C = 0.4

PGP = Cvᵃ

take log of both sides

ln(PGP) = a*ln(CV)

a = ln(PGP)/ln(CV)

a = ln(1000)/ln(0.4 *2.2352) = 7.73

The power generation potential (PGP) scales with speed at the rate of 7.73 kW.s/m

A 1 turn coil carries has a radius of 9.8 cm and a magnetic moment of 6.2 X 10 -2 Am 2. What is the current through the coil?

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The current through the coil is 2.05 A

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the coil, N = 1

radius of the coil, r = 9.8 cm = 0.098 m

magnetic moment of the coil, P = 6.2 x 10⁻² A m²

The magnetic moment is given by;

P = IA

Where;

I is the current through the coil

A is area of the coil = πr² = π(0.098)² = 0.03018 m²

The current through the coil is given by;

I = P / A

I = (6.2 x 10⁻² ) / (0.03018)

I = 2.05 A

Therefore, the current through the coil is 2.05 A
