Answer:

The surface area of the primary settling tank is 0.0095 m^2.

The effective theoretical detention time is 0.05 s.

Explanation:

The surface area of the tank is calculated by dividing the volumetric flow rate by the overflow rate.

Volumetric flow rate = 0.570 m^3/s

Overflow rate = 60 m/s

Surface area = 0.570 m^3/s ÷ 60 m/s = 0.0095 m^2

Detention time is calculated by dividing the volume of the tank by the its volumetric flow rate

Volume of the tank = surface area × depth = 0.0095 m^2 × 3 m = 0.0285 m^3

Detention time = 0.0285 m^3 ÷ 0.570 m^3/s = 0.05 s

Given Information:

overflow rate = v = 60 m/d

volumetric flow rate = Q = 0.570 m³/s

depth of tank = h = 3 m

Required Information:

detention time = θ = ?

Answer:

detention time = θ = 3 days or 1.2 hours or 72 minutes or 4.32x10³ seconds

Explanation:

We know that the detention time is given by

θ = V/Q

Where V is the volume of tank and Q is the volumetric flow rate of the tank.

To find out the volume of tank, first we have to find the surface area of the tank.

As we know the volumetric flow rate is given by

Q = Av

A = Q/v

Where A is the surface area of tank and v is the over flow rate and Q is the volumetric flow rate.

First convert the overflow rate from m/d into m/s

1 day has 24 hours, each hour has 60 minutes, each minute has 60 seconds.

v = 60/(24*60*60)

v = 6.94x10⁻⁴ m/s

A = Q/v

A = 0.570/6.94x10⁻⁴

A = 821.32 m²

The volume of tank is given by

V = A*h

V = 821.32*3

V = 2463.97 m³

Finally, the detention time is

θ = V/Q

θ = 2463.97/0.570

Detention time in seconds:

θ = 4.32x10³ seconds

Detention time in minutes:

θ = 4.32x10³/60 = 72 minutes

Detention time in hours:

θ = 72/60 = 1.2 hours

Detention time in days:

θ = 1.2/24 = 0.05 days

An electric field is expressed in rectangular coordinates by E = 6x2ax + 6y ay +4az V/m.Find:a) VMN if point M and N are specifi

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

a.) -147V

b.) -120V

c.) 51V

Explanation:

a.) Equation for potential difference is the integral of the electrical field from a to b for the voltage V_ba = V(b)-V(a).

b.) The problem becomes easier to solve if you draw out the circuit. Since potential at Q is 0, then Q is at ground. So voltage across V_MQ is the same as potential at V_M.

c.) Same process as part b. Draw out the circuit and you'll see that the potential a point V_N is the same as the voltage across V_NP added with the 2V from the other box.

Honestly, these things take practice to get used to. It's really hard to explain this.

A conical enlargement in a vertical pipeline is 5 ft long and enlarges the pipe diameter from 12 in. to 24 in. diameter. Calcula

makkiz [27]

Answer:

F_y = 151319.01N = 15.132 KN

Explanation:

From the linear momentum equation theory, since flow is steady, the y components would be;

-V1•ρ1•V1•A1 + V2•ρ2•V2•A2 = P1•A1 - P2•A2 - F_y

We are given;

Length; L = 5ft = 1.52.

Initial diameter;d1 = 12in = 0.3m

Exit diameter; d2 = 24 in = 0.6m

Volume flow rate of water; Q2 = 10 ft³/s = 0.28 m³/s

Initial pressure;p1 = 30 psi = 206843 pa

Thus,

initial Area;A1 = π•d1²/4 = π•0.3²/4 = 0.07 m²

Exit area;A2 = π•d2²/4 = π•0.6²/4 = 0.28m²

Now, we know that volume flow rate of water is given by; Q = A•V

Thus,

At exit, Q2 = A2•V2

So, 0.28 = 0.28•V2

So,V2 = 1 m/s

When flow is incompressible, we often say that ;

Initial mass flow rate = exit mass flow rate.

Thus,

ρ1 = ρ2 = 1000 kg/m³

Density of water is 1000 kg/m³

And A1•V1 = A2•V2

So, V1 = A2•V2/A1

So, V1 = 0.28 x 1/0.07

V1 = 4 m/s

So, from initial equation of y components;

-V1•ρ1•V1•A1 + V2•ρ2•V2•A2 = P1•A1 - P2•A2 - F_y

Where F_y is vertical force of enlargement pressure and P2 = 0

Thus, making F_y the subject;

F_y = P1•A1 + V1•ρ1•V1•A1 - V2•ρ2•V2•A2

Plugging in the relevant values to get;

F_y = (206843 x 0.07) + (1² x 1000 x 0.07) - (4² x 1000 x 0.28)

F_y = 151319.01N = 15.132 KN

A milling operation was used to remove a portion of a solid bar of square cross section. Forces of magnitude P = 18 kN are appli

monitta

The smallest allowable depth is $d=16.04 \mathrm{mm}$ for the milled portion of bar.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given,

Magnitude of force, $\mathbf{p}=18 \mathrm{kN}$

$a=30 \mathrm{mm}$

$=0.03 \mathrm{m}$

Allowable stress, $\sigma_{a l l}=135 \mathrm{MPa}$

cross sectional area of bar,

$A=a \times d$

$A=a d$

e - eccentricity

$e=\frac{a}{2}-\frac{d}{2}$

The internal forces in the cross section are equivalent to a centric force P and a bending couple M.

$M=P e$

$=P\left(\frac{a}{2}-\frac{d}{2}\right)$

$=\frac{P(a-d)}{2}$

Allowable stress

$\sigma=\frac{P}{A}+\frac{M c}{I}$

$c=\frac{d}{2}$

Moment of Inertia,

$I=\frac{b d^{3}}{12}$

$=\frac{a d^{3}}{12}$

$\therefore \sigma=\frac{P}{a d}+\frac{\frac{P(a-d)}{2} \times \frac{d}{2}}{\frac{a d^{3}}{12}}$

$\sigma=\frac{P}{a d}+\frac{3 P(a-d)}{a d^{2}}\\$

$\sqrt{x} \sigma\left(a d^{2}\right)=P d+3 P(a-d)$

$\sigma\left(a d^{2}\right)=P d+3 P a-3 P d$

$\sigma\left(a d^{2}\right)=(P-3 P) d+3 P a$

$\left(\sigma a d^{2}\right)=-2 P d+3 P a$

$\sigma d^{2}=-\frac{2 P}{a} d+3 P$

By substituting values we get,

$\left(135 \times 10^{6}\right) d^{2}+\frac{2 \times 18 \times 10^{3}}{0.03} d-3\left(18 \times 10^{3}\right)=0$

$\left(135 \times 10^{6}\right) d^{2}+\left(12 \times 10^{5}\right) d-54 \times 10^{3}=0$

On solving above equation we get, $d=0.01604 \mathrm{m}\\$

$d=16.04 \mathrm{mm}$
