Compute the mean and maximum velocities for a liquid with a flow rate of 20 L/min in a 1.5-in nominal diameter sanitary pipeline

. The liquid has a density of 1030 kg/m3 and viscosity of 50 cP. Is the flow laminar or turbulent?

Answer:

Mean velocity = 0.292 m/s

Maximum velocity = 0.584 m/s

The flow is laminar as Re = 229.2

Explanation:

D = 1.5 inches = 0.0381 m

Q = volumetric flow rate = 20 L/min = 0.000333 m³/s

Q = A × v

A = Cross sectional Area = πD²/4 = π(0.0381)²/4 = 0.00114 m²

v = average velocity

v = Q/A = 0.000333/0.00114 = 0.292 m/s

For flow in circular pipes, maximum velocity = 2 × average velocity = 2 × 0.292 = 0.584 m/s

To check if the flow is laminar or turbulent, we need its Reynolds number

Re = (ρvD)/μ

ρ = 1030 kg/m

v = 0.292 m/s

D = 1.5 inches = 0.0381 m

μ = 50 cP = 0.5 poise = 0.05 Pa.s

Re = (1030 × 0.292 × 0.0381)/0.05 = 229.2

For laminar flow, Re < 2100

For turbulent flow, Re > 4000

And 229.2 < 2100, hence, this flow is laminar.

Ryan and Becca are moving a folding table out of the sunlight. A cup of lemonade, with the message 0.44 kg is on the table. Becc

jarptica [38.1K]

Calculate the weight of the table through the equation,

W = mg

where W is the weight, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the known values,
W = (0.44 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
<em>W = 4.312 N</em>

The components of this weight can be calculated through the equation,

Wx = W(sin θ)

and Wy = W(cos θ)

x - component:
Wx = W(sin θ)
Substituting,
Wx = (4.312 N)(sin 150°) = <em>2.156 N</em>

Wy = (4.312 N)(cos 150°) =<em> -3.734 N</em>

A sample of an unknown volatile liquid was injected into a Dumas flask (mflask = 27.0928 g, Vflask = 0.1040 L) and heated until

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The gas was Hexane

Explanation:

taking the diference between the mass of the flask and the final mass qe can calculate the mass of liquid injected (assuming none escaped the flask):

$m_{l} = 27.4593g - 27.0928g = 0.3665g$

with the volume of the flask we can get the density of the gas at the indicated pressure and temperature:

$d_{g} = \frac{0.3665 g}{0.1040L} = 3.524 g/L$

From the ideal gases law we have that the density can be calculated as:

$d_{g} = \frac{P*M}{R*T}$

Where R is the ideal gases constant = , and M the molecular weight of the fluid. Solving for M:

$M=\frac{d_{g}*R*T}{P}=\frac{3.524g/L*0,082atmL/molK*291K}{0.976atm}$

$M=86.16 g/mol$

Note that the temperature is computed in Kelvin T= 18+273=291K

The gas with the closer molar mass is Hexane

A composite wall separates combustion gases at 2400°C from a liquid coolant at 100°C, with gas and liquid-side convection coeffi

evablogger [386]

Answer:

$\text{heat loss} = 24864.05 \ W/m^2$

Explanation:

If

$T_1$ , $T_2$ are temperatures of gasses and liquid in Kelvins,

$t_1$ and $t_2$ are thicknesses of gas layer and steel slab in meters,
$h_1$ , $h_2$ are convection coefficients gas and liquid in $W/m^2 \cdot K$ ,
$R_c$ is the contact resistance in $m^2 \cdot K/W$ ,

and $k_1, k_2$ are thermal conductivities of gas and steel in $W/m \cdot K$ ,

then: part(a):

$\text{heat loss } = \frac{T_1 - T_2} { \frac{1}{h_1} + \frac{t_1}{t_2} + R_c + \frac{t_2}{k_2} + \frac{1}{h_2}}$

using known values:

$\text {heat loss} = 2486.05 W/m^2$

part(b): Using the rate equation :

$\text {heat loss} = h_1 (T_1 - T_{s1})$

the surface temperature $T_{s1} = 1678.438 \ K$

and $T_{c1} = T_{s1} - \frac {t_1 (\text{heat loss})}{k_1} = 1664.560 \ K$

Similarly

$T_{c2} = T_{c1} - R_c (\text{heat loss}) = 421.357 \ K$

$T_{s2} = T_{c2} - \frac {t_2 (\text{heat loss})}{ k_2} = 397.864 \ K$

A na+ ion moves from inside a cell, where the electric potential is -72 mv, to outside the cell, where the potential is 0 v. wha

Vlada [557]

The change in electric potential energy of the ion is equal to the charge multiplied by the voltage difference:
$\Delta U = q \Delta V = q (V_f - V_i)$
where the charge q of the na+ ion is equal to one positive charge, so it's equal to the proton charge: $q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ , and Vf and Vi are the final and initial voltages.

Substituting the numbers, we find:
$\Delta U = (1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(0 V-(-0.072 V))=1.15 \cdot 10^{-20} J$
