Water at 20°C flows by gravity through a smooth pipe from one reservoir to a lower one. The elevation difference is 60 m. The pi

pe is 360 m long, with a diameter of 12 cm. For the given system a pump is used at night to drive water back to the upper reservoir. If the pump delivers 15,000 W to the water, estimate the flow rate. For water at 20°C, take rho = 998 kg/m3 and μ = 0.001 kg/m-s. Round the answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

Flow Rate = 80 m^3 /hours  (Rounded to the nearest whole number)

Explanation:

Given

  • Hf = head loss
  • f = friction factor
  • L = Length of the pipe = 360 m
  • V = Flow velocity, m/s
  • D = Pipe diameter = 0.12 m
  • g = Gravitational acceleration, m/s^2
  • Re = Reynolds's Number
  • rho = Density =998 kg/m^3
  • μ = Viscosity = 0.001 kg/m-s
  • Z = Elevation Difference = 60 m

Calculations

Moody friction loss in the pipe = Hf = (f*L*V^2)/(2*D*g)

The energy equation for this system will be,

Hp = Z + Hf

The other three equations to solve the above equations are:

Re = (rho*V*D)/ μ

Flow Rate, Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Power = 15000 W = rho*g*Q*Hp

1/f^0.5 = 2*log ((Re*f^0.5)/2.51)

We can iterate the 5 equations to find f and solve them to find the values of:

Re = 235000

f = 0.015

V = 1.97 m/s

And use them to find the flow rate,

Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Q = (1.97)*(pi/4)*(0.12)^2 = 0.022 m^3/s = 80 m^3 /hours

A standing wave of the third overtone is induced in a stopped pipe, 2.5 m long. The speed of sound is The frequency of the sound
NemiM [27]

Answer:

f3 = 102 Hz

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the sound produced by the pipe you use the following formula:

f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}

n: number of the harmonic = 3

vs: speed of sound = 340 m/s

L: length of the pipe = 2.5 m

You replace the values of n, L and vs in order to calculate the frequency:

f_{3}=\frac{(3)(340m/s)}{4(2.5m)}=102\ Hz

hence, the frequency of the third overtone is 102 Hz

Pistons are fitted to two cylindrical chambers connected through a horizontal tube to form a hydraulic system. The piston chambe
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

order   d> a = e> c> b = f

Explanation:

Pascal's law states that a change in pressure is transmitted by a liquid, all points are transmitted regardless of the form

      P₁ = P₂

Using the definition of pressure

      F₁ / A₁ = F₂ / A₂

      F₂ = A₂ /A₁   F₁

Now we can examine the results

a) F1 = 4.0 N A1 = 0.9 m2 A2 = 1.8 m2

     F₂ = 1.8 / 0.9 4

     F₂a = 8 N

b) F1 = 2.0 N A1 = 0.9 m2 A2 = 0.45 m2

    F₂b = 0.45 / 0.9 2

    F₂b = 1 N

c) F1 2.0 N A1 = 1.8 m2 A2 = 3.6 m2

    F₂c = 3.6 / 1.8 2

    F₂c = 4 N

d) F1 = 4.0N A1 = 0.45 m2 A2 = 1.8 m2

    F₂d = 1.8 / 0.45 4.0

    F₂d = 16 m2

e) F1 = 4.0 N A1 = 0.45 m2 A2 = 0.9 m2

   F₂e = 0.9 / 0.45 4

   F₂e = 8 N

f) F1 = 2.0N A1 = 1.8 m2 A2 = 0.9 m2

   F₂f = 0.9 / 1.8 2.0

   F₂f = 1 N

Let's classify the structure from highest to lowest

F₂d> F₂a = F₂e> F₂c> F₂b = F₂f

I mean the combinations are

 d> a = e> c> b = f

How do air mass conditions ahead of the squall line support the development of new cell?
IRISSAK [1]
<span>Storm cells in a squall line typically move from the southwest to the northeast, and as the mature cells in the northeast begin to die off, new ones are formed at the opposite end to advance the line. The air in the southwest corner has strong vertical updrafts that allow new cells to grow and develop into thunderstorms.</span>

(a) when rebuilding her car's engine, a physics major must exert 300 n of force to insert a dry steel piston into a steel cylind
Vilka [71]
There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03

Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:
F_f = \mu N
where \mu is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:
F=\mu N
since we know that F=300 N and \mu=0.3, we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:
N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.3}=1000 N

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is \mu=0.03 due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.03}=10000 N

Jin walked 4 km on a straight path to get to the sandwich shop. He traveled 30° south of east.
Molodets [167]

Answer: -2 km

Explanation:

If we imagine Jin's movement to be the hypothenuse of a right triangle, then the southern component of Jin's movement corresponds to the side of the triangle opposite to the angle of 30 degrees. Therefore, the magnitude of this southern component is given by

However, the angle of 30 degrees is south of east: this means that the direction of this southern component is south, and since we generally take north as positive direction, we must add a negative sign, so the correct answer is

-2 km
