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 7.25-kg bowling ball is being swung horizontally in a clockwise direction (as viewed from above) at a constant speed in a circ

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

$a_c=9.66\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}(1)$

Here v is the linear speed and r is the radius of the circular motion. v is defined as the distance traveled to make one revolution ( $2\pi r$ ) divided into the time takes to make one revolution, that is, the period (T).

$v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}(2)$

Replacing (2) in (1) and replacing the given values:

$a_c=\frac{(\frac{2\pi r}{T})^2}{r}\\a_c=\frac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2}\\a_c=\frac{4\pi^2 (1.85m)}{(2.75s)^2}\\a_c=9.66\frac{m}{s^2}$

Which of the following characteristics of Earth's relationship to the Sun explains the existence of Earth's seasons? Choose all

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane.

Earth orbits around the Sun, completing one orbit each year

Explanation:

The earth tilt at an angle causes the sun rays to hit the earth surface around the globe differently. Due to the oblique angle that the rays hit the subtropics and poles, there is less heat intensity compared to the equator where the sun rays hit the earth's surface at a more or less right angle.

The earth rotation around the sun also causes seasons coupled with the earth’s tilts. As the earth rotates, in one point in the orbit, the northern or southern hemispheres will be tilted towards the sun. The phenomenon varies the local temperatures of particular regions of the earth hence driving seasonal climatic changes.

Which response is the least effective when confronted with trying drugs or alcohol? "I'd rather be in control of what I do."

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The least effective answer would be "It's okay to lose control every once in a while."

Explanation:

This answer would make it seem like you are either already on drugs or you are willing to try them, which i assume in this case, you are not.

Find the current that flows in a silicon bar of 10-μm length having a 5-μm × 4-μm cross-section and having free-electron and hol

klasskru [66]

The current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 $\times$ 10^-12 A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Length of silicon bar, l = 10 μm = 0.001 cm

Free electron density, Ne = 104 cm^3

Hole density, Nh = 1016 cm^3

μn = 1200 cm^2 / V s

μр = 500 cm^2 / V s

The total current flowing in the bar is the sum of the drift current due to the hole and the electrons.

J = Je + Jh

J = n qE μn + p qE μp

where, n and p are electron and hole densities.

J = Eq (n μn + p μp)

we know that E = V / l

So, J = (V / l) q (n μn + p μp)

J = (1.6 $\times$ 10^-19) / 0.001 (104 $\times$ 1200 + 1016 $\times$ 500)

J = 1012480 $\times$ 10^-16 A / m^2.

or

J = 1.01 $\times$ 10^-9 A / m^2

Current, I = JA

A is the area of bar, A = 20 μm = 0.002 cm

I = 1.01 $\times$ 10^-9 $\times$ 0.002 = 2.02 $\times$ 10^-12

So, the current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 $\times$ 10^-12 A.
