Water enters the constant 130-mm inside-diameter tubes of a boiler at 7 MPa and 65°C and leaves the tubes at 6 MPa and 450°C wit

h a velocity of 72 m/s. Calculate the velocity of the water at the tube inlet and the inlet volume flow rate. The specific volumes of water at the inlet and exit are 0.001017 m3/kg and 0.05217 m3/kg.

The inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Explanation:

When water entering the tube of constant diameter flows through the tube, it exhibits continuity of mass in the hydrostatics. So the mass of water moving from the inlet to the outlet tend to be same, but the velocity may differ.

As per mass flow equality which states that the rate of flow of mass in the inlet is equal to the product of area of the tube with the velocity of the water and the density of the tube.

Since, the inlet volume flow is measured as the product of velocity with the area.

Inlet volume flow=Inlet velocity*Area*time

And the mass flow rate is  

Mass flow rate in the inlet=density*area*inlet velocity*time

Mass flow rate in the outlet=density*area*outlet velocity*time

Since, the time and area is constant, the inlet and outlet will be same as

(Mass inlet)/(density*inlet velocity)=Area*Time

(Mass outlet)/(density*outlet velocity)=Area*Time

As the ratio of mass to density is termed as specific volume, then  

(Specific volume inlet)/(Inlet velocity)=(Specific volume outlet)/(Outlet velocity)

Inlet velocity=  (Specific volume inlet)/(Specific volume outlet)*Outlet velocity

As, the specific volume of water at inlet is 0.001017 m³/kg and at outlet is 0.05217 m³/kg and the outlet velocity is given as 72 m/s, the inlet velocity

is

Inlet velocity = \frac{0.001017}{0.05217}*72 =1.4035 m/s

So, the inlet velocity is 1.4035 m/s.

Then the inlet volume will be

Inlet volume = inlet velocity*area of circle=\pi  r^{2}*inlet velocity

As the diameter of tube is 130 mm, then the radius is 65 mm and inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s

Inlet volume = 1.4*3.14*65*65*10^{-6} =0.019 \frac{m^{3} }{s}

So, the inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Thus, the inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

fr = ½ m v₀²/x

Explanation:

This exercise the body must be on a ramp so that a component of the weight is counteracted by the friction force.

The best way to solve this exercise is to use the energy work theorem

            W = ΔK

Where work is defined as the product of force by distance

           W = fr x cos 180

The angle is because the friction force opposes the movement

          Δk =K_{f} –K₀

          ΔK = 0 - ½ m v₀²

We substitute

         - fr x = - ½ m v₀²      

           fr = ½ m v₀²/x

If the intensity level by 15 identical engines in a garage is 100 dB, what is the intensity level generated by each one of these
insens350 [35]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Sound Intensity.

By definition the intensity is given by the equation

\beta = 10Log(\frac{I}{I_0})

Where,

I = Intensity of Sound

I_0= Intensity of Reference

At this case we have that 15 engines produces 15 times the reference intensity, that is

I= 15I_0

And the total mutual intensity is 100 dB, so we should

\beta = 100-10*log(\frac{15I_0}{I_0})

\beta = 100-10*log(15)

\beta = 100-11.76

\beta = 88.23dB

Therefore each one of these engines produce D. 88dB.

<h2>The hiker will go up to 850 m on the hill</h2>

Explanation:

The total energy gained  by the hiker = 140 x 4186 J

This energy is consumed in the potential energy acquired , while climbing up the hill.

The potential energy P.E = mass of hiker x acceleration due to gravity x height

Thus

140 x 4186 = 69 x 10 x h

or h = \frac{4186x140}{69x10}  = 850 m

If the 20% of the total energy is used

the height h₀ = \frac{0.2x4186x140}{69x10} = 170 m

Zanzabum

(a)  3.3\cdot 10^{-6} Pa

The radiation pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a surface that totally absorbs the radiation is given by

p=\frac{I}{c}

where

I is the intensity of the wave

c is the speed of light

In this problem,

I=1000 W/m^2

and substituting c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s, we find the radiation pressure

p=\frac{1000 W/m^2}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa

(b) 4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2

Since we know the cross-sectional area of the laser beam:

A=6.65\cdot 10^{-29}m^2

starting from the radiation pressure found at point (a), we can calculate the force exerted on a tritium atom:

F=pa=(3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa)(6.65\cdot 10^{-29} m^2)=2.2\cdot 10^{-34}N

And then, since we know the mass of the atom

m=5.01\cdot 10^{-27}kg

we can find the acceleration, by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^{-34} N}{5.01\cdot 10^{-27} kg}=4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2

A certain signal molecule S in heart tissue is degraded by two different biochemical pathways: when only Path 1 is active, the h
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Half life of S = 3.76secs

Explanation:

The concept of half life in radioactivity is applied. Half life is the time taken for a radioactive material to decay to half of its initial size.

For part 1 - How much signal will be degraded in 1secs = 1/3.9 = 0.2564

for part 2 - How much signal will be degraded in 1secs = 1/104 = 0.009615

Simply say = 1/3.9 + 1/104 = 0.266015

So both part 1 and part 2 took 1/0.266015 = 3.76secs is the half life of S when both pathways are active
