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.

Flura [38]

Answer:

T = 480.2N

Explanation:

In order to find the required force, you take into account that the sum of forces must be equal to zero if the object has a constant speed.

The forces on the boxes are:

$T-Mg=0$ (1)

T: tension of the rope

M: mass of the boxes 0= 49kg

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

The pulley is frictionless, then, you can assume that the tension of the rope T, is equal to the force that the woman makes.

By using the equation (1) you obtain:

$T=Mg=(49kg)(9.8m/s^2)=480.2N$

The woman needs to pull the rope at 480.2N

Rasek [7]

Answer:

The freight train would take 542.265 second to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour.

Explanation:

Statement is incomplete. Complete description is presented below:

<em>A freight train has a mass of </em> $1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg$ <em>. The wheels of the locomotive push back on the tracks with a constant net force of </em> $7.50\times 10^{5}\,N$ <em>, so the tracks push forward on the locomotive with a force of the same magnitude. Ignore aerodynamics and friction on the other wheels of the train. How long, in seconds, would it take to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour?</em>

If locomotive have a constant net force ( $F$ ), measured in newtons, then acceleration ( $a$ ), measured in meters per square second, must be constant and can be found by the following expression:

$a = \frac{F}{m}$ (1)

Where $m$ is the mass of the freight train, measured in kilograms.

If we know that $F = 7.50\times 10^{5}\,N$ and $m = 1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg$ , then the acceleration experimented by the train is:

$a = \frac{7.50\times 10^{5}\,N}{1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg}$

$a = 4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Now, the time taken to accelerate the freight train from rest ( $t$ ), measured in seconds, is determined by the following formula:

$t = \frac{v-v_{o}}{a}$ (2)

Where:

$v$ - Final speed of the train, measured in meters per second.

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed of the train, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $a = 4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = 22.222\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the time taken by the freight train is:

$t = \frac{22.222\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s} }{4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 542.265\,s$

The freight train would take 542.265 second to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour.

Answer:

He sowed the seeds

Explanation:

While the question should have given the person who did the sowing for example the seeds were sown by him/ her/ the farmer/ or any name. Therefore, voice is given in passive and to change passive voice to active voice then the sentence will read as follows assuming that the seeds were sown by him

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Horizontal component: $F_x = 58\ N$

Vertical component: $F_y = 33.5\ N$

Explanation:

To find the horizontal and vertical components of the force, we just need to multiply the magnitude of the force by the cosine and sine of the angle with the horizontal, respectively.

Therefore, for the horizontal component, we have:

$F_x = F * cos(angle)$

$F_x = 67 * cos(30)$

$F_x = 58\ N$

For the vertical component, we have:

$F_y = F * sin(angle)$

$F_y = 67 * sin(30)$

$F_y = 33.5\ N$

So the horizontal component of the tension force is 58 N and the vertical component is 33.5 N.
