Answer:
1709.07 ft^3/s
Explanation:
Annual peak streamflow = Log10(Q [ft^3/s] )
mean = 1.835
standard deviation = 0.65
Probability of levee been overtopped in the next 15 years = 1/5
Determine the design flow ins ft^3/s
P₁₅ = 1 - ( q )^15 = 1 - ( 1 - 1/T )^15 = 0.2
∴ T = 67.72 years
Q₁₅ = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8
Applying Lognormal distribution : Zt = mean + ( K₂ * std ) --- ( 1 )
K₂ = 2.054 + ( 67.72 - 50 ) / ( 100 - 50 ) * ( 2.326 - 2.054 )
= 2.1504
back to equation 1
Zt = 1.835 + ( 2.1504 * 0.65 ) = 3.23276
hence:
Log₁₀ ( Qt(ft^3/s) ) = Zt = 3.23276
hence ; Qt = 10^3.23276
= 1709.07 ft^3/s

Determine the pressure difference in N/m2,between two points 800m apart in horizontal pipe-line,150 mm diameter, discharging water at the rate of 12.5litres per second. Take the frictional coefficient ,f, as being 0.008
Answer: [tex]10.631\times 10^3\ N/m^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
Discharge is [tex]Q=12.5\ L[/tex]
Diameter of pipe [tex]d=150\ mm[/tex]
Distance between two ends of pipe [tex]L=800\ m[/tex]
friction factor [tex]f=0.008[/tex]
Average velocity is given by
[tex]\Rightarrow v_{avg}=\dfrac{12.5\times 10^{-3}}{\frac{\pi }{4}(0.15)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow v_{avg}=\dfrac{15.9134\times 10^{-3}}{2.25\times 10^{-2}}\\\\\Rightarrow v_{avg}=7.07\times 10^{-1}\\\Rightarrow v_{avg}=0.707\ m/s[/tex]
Pressure difference is given by
[tex]\Rightarrow \Delta P=f\ \dfrac{L}{d}\dfrac{\rho v_{avg}^2}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=0.008\times \dfrac{800}{0.15}\times \dfrac{997\times (0.707)^2}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=10,631.45\ N/m^2\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=10.631\ kPa[/tex]

The propeller shaft of the submarine experiences both torsional and axial loads. Draw Mohr's Circle for a stress element on the outside surface of the solid shaft. Determine the principal stresses, the maximum in-plane shear stress and average normal stress using Mohr's Circle.
Answer: Attached below is the missing detail and Mohr's circle.
i) б1 = 9.6 Ksi
б2 = -10.7 ksi
ii) 10.2 Ksi
iii) -0.51Ksi
Explanation:
First step :
direct compressive stress on shaft
бd = P / π/4 * d^2
= -20 / 0.785 * 5^2 = -1.09 Ksi
shear stress at the outer surface due to torsion
ζ = 16*T / πd^3
= (16 * 250 ) / π * 5^3 = 010.19 Ksi
Calculate the Principal stress, maximum in-plane shear stress and average normal stress
Using Mohr's circle ( attached below )
i) principal stresses:
б1 = 4.8 cm * 2 = 9.6 Ksi
б2 = -5.35 cm * 2 = -10.7 ksi
ii) maximum in-plane shear stress
ζ = radius of Mohr's circle
= 5.1 cm = 10.2 Ksi ( Given that ; 1 cm = 2Ksi )
iii) average normal stress
= 9.6 + ( - 10.7 ) / 2
= -0.51Ksi
An ideal neon sign transformer provides 9130 V at 51.0 mA with an input voltage of 240 V. Calculate the transformer's input power and current.
Answer:
Input power = 465.63 W
current = 1.94 A
Explanation:
we have the following data to answer this question
V = 9130
i = 0.051
the input power = VI
I = 51.0 mA = 0.051
= 9130 * 0.051
= 465.63 watts
the current = 465.63/240
= 1.94A
therefore the input power is 465.63 wwatts
while the current is 1.94A
the input power is the same thing as the output power.

A 1m3 tank containing air at 25℃ and 500kPa is connected through a valve to
another tank containing 5kg of air at 35℃ and 200kPa. Now the valve is opened,
and the entire system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium, which is at 20℃
(Take: Ru = 8.314 kJ / kg.K).
Answer:
The right answer is "2.2099 m³".
Explanation:
Given:
Mass,
m = 5 kg
Temperature,
T = 35℃
or,
= 35 + 273
Pressure,
P = 200 kPa
Gas constant,
R = 0.2870 kj/kgK
By using the ideal gas equation,
The volume will be:
⇒ [tex]PV=mRT[/tex]
or,
⇒ [tex]V=\frac{mRT}{P}[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
[tex]=\frac{5(0.2870)(35+273)}{200}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{441.98}{200}[/tex]
[tex]=2.2099 \ m^3[/tex]
Air is compressed in a well insulated compressor from 95 kPa and 27 C to 600 kPa and 277 C. Use the air tables; assume negligible changes in kinetic and potential energy. Find the isentropic efficiency of the compressor. Find the exit temperature of the air if the compressor was reversible.
Answer:
a) 1.9%
b) T2s = 505.5 k = 232.5°C
Explanation:
P1 = 95 kPa
T1 = 27°C = 300 k
P2 = 600 kPa
T1 = 277°c = 550 k
Table used : Table ( A - 17 ) Ideal gas properties of air
a) determining the isentropic efficiency of the compressor
Л = ( h2s - h1 ) / ( h2a - h1 ) ---- ( 1 )
where ; h1 = 300.19 kJ/kg , T1 = 300 K , h2a = 554.74 kJ/kg , T2 = 550 k
To get h2s we have to calculate the the value of Pr2 using Pr1(relative pressure)
Pr2 = P2/P1 * Pr = ( 600 / 95 ) * 1.306 hence; h2s = 500.72 kJ/kg
back to equation1
Л = 0.019 = 1.9%
b) Calculate the exit temperature of the air if compressor is reversible
if compressor is reversible the corresponding exit temperature
T2s = 505.5 k = 232.5°C
given that h2s = 500.72 kJ/kg

A 20-mm-diameter steel bar is to be used as a torsion spring. If the torsional stress in the bar is not to exceed 110 MPa when one end is twisted through an angle of 15°, what must be the length of the bar?
Answer:
1.887 m
Explanation:
(15 *pi)/180
= 0.2618 rad
Polar moment
= Pi*d⁴/32
= (22/7*20⁴)/32
= 15707.96
Torque on shaft
= ((22/7)*20³*110)/16
= 172857.14
= 172.8nm
Shear modulus
G = 79.3
L = Gjθ/T
= 79.3x10⁹x(1.571*10^-8)x0.2618/172.8
= 1.887 m
The length of the bar is therefore 1.887 meters

In low speed subsonic wind tunnels, the value of test section velocity can be controlled by adjusting the pressure difference between the inlet and test-section for a fixed ratio of inlet-to-test section cross-sectional area.
a. True
b. false
Answer:
Hence the given statement is false.
Explanation:
For low-speed subsonic wind tunnels, the air density remains nearly constant decreasing the cross-section area cause the flow to extend velocity, and reduce pressure. Similarly increasing the world cause to decrease and therefore the pressure to extend.
The speed within the test section is decided by the planning of the tunnel.
Thus by adjusting the pressure difference won't change the worth of test section velocity.
Answer:
The given statement is false .

Consider two houses that are identical, except that the walls are built using bricks in one house, and wood in the other. The walls of the brick house are twice as thick. Which house do you think will be more energy efficient?
Answer:
Walls Built Using Bricks and Wood
The brick house is more energy-efficient than the one built with wood.
Explanation:
Because of their high thermal mass, which gives bricks the ability to absorb heat and release it over time, bricks remain more energy-efficient than other building materials, including wood. In summer, bricks leave your home cool. In winter, they make it warm. With these two advantages provided by bricks over other building materials, bricks are the most energy-efficient building material.
Steam at 4 MPa and 350°C is expanded in an adiabatic turbine to 125kPa. What is the isentropic efficiency (percent) of this turbine if the steam is exhausted as a saturated vapor?
Answer:
[tex]\eta_{turbine} = 0.603 = 60.3\%[/tex]
Explanation:
First, we will find actual properties at given inlet and outlet states by the use of steam tables:
AT INLET:
At 4MPa and 350°C, from the superheated table:
h₁ = 3093.3 KJ/kg
s₁ = 6.5843 KJ/kg.K
AT OUTLET:
At P₂ = 125 KPa and steam is saturated in vapor state:
h₂ = [tex]h_{g\ at\ 125KPa}[/tex] = 2684.9 KJ/kg
Now, for the isentropic enthalpy, we have:
P₂ = 125 KPa and s₂ = s₁ = 6.5843 KJ/kg.K
Since s₂ is less than [tex]s_g[/tex] and greater than [tex]s_f[/tex] at 125 KPa. Therefore, the steam is in a saturated mixture state. So:
[tex]x = \frac{s_2-s_f}{s_{fg}} \\\\x = \frac{6.5843\ KJ/kg.K - 1.3741\ KJ/kg.K}{5.91\ KJ/kg.K}\\\\x = 0.88[/tex]
Now, we will find [tex]h_{2s}[/tex](enthalpy at the outlet for the isentropic process):
[tex]h_{2s} = h_{f\ at\ 125KPa}+xh_{fg\ at\ 125KPa}\\\\h_{2s} = 444.36\ KJ/kg + (0.88)(2240.6\ KJ/kg)\\h_{2s} = 2416.088\ KJ/kg[/tex]
Now, the isentropic efficiency of the turbine can be given as follows:
[tex]\eta_{turbine} = \frac{h_1-h_2}{h_1-h_{2s}}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = \frac{3093.3\ KJ/kg-2684.9\ KJ/kg}{3093.3\ KJ/kg-2416.088\ KJ/kg}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = \frac{408.4\ KJ/kg}{677.212\ KJ/kg}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = 0.603 = 60.3\%[/tex]
A 0.82-in-diameter aluminum rod is 5.5 ft long and carries a load of 3000 lbf. Find the tensile stress, the total deformation, the unit strains, and the change in the rod diameter.
Answer:
Tensile stress = 0.1855Kpsi
Total deformation = 0.0012243 in
Unit strain = 1.855 *10^-5 or 18.55μ
Change in the rod diameter = 5.02 * 10^ -6 in
Explanation:
Data given: D= 0.82 in
L = 5.5 ft * 12 = 66 in
load (p) = 3000 (Ibf) /32.174 = 93.243 Ibm
Area = (π/4) D² = (π/4) 0.82² = 0.502655 in²
∴ Tensile stress Rt = P/A = 93.243/0.502655 = 185.50099 pound/in²
Rt = 0.1855 Kpsi
∴ Total deformation = PL / AE = Rt * L/ Eal
= 0.1855 * 10³ * 66 / 10000 * 10³
= 0.0012243 in
∴the unit strains = total deformation / L = 0.0012243/ 66
=0.00001855 = 1.855 *10^-5
= 18.55μ
∴ Change in rod Δd/ d = μ ΔL/L
= (0.33) 1.855 *10^-5 * 0.82
= 5.02 * 10^ -6 in

Identify the first step in preparing a spectrophotometer for use.
A. Make sure all samples and the blank are ready for measurement.
B. Prepare a calibration curve.
C. Measure the absorbance of the blank.
D. Turn on the light source and the spectrophotometer.
Answer:
D. Turn on the light source and the spectrophotometer.
Explanation:
A spectrophotometer is a machine used to measure the presence of any light-absorbing particle in a solution as well as its concentration. To prepare a spectrophotometer for use, the first step is to turn on the spectrophotometer and allow it to warm up for at least 15 minutes. After this is done, the next step will be to ensure that the samples and blank are ready. Next, an appropriate wavelength is set for the solute being determined. Finally, the absorbance is measured of both the blank and samples.
The temperature gradient in a spherical (or cylindrical) wall at steady state will always decrease (in magnitude) with increasing distance from the center (line), i.e. radial distance.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Yes it is true that the Temperature gradient would also decrease with magnitude just as the distances rise from the centre line.
We have this cylinder equation as
[T1-T2 / ln(r1-r2)]2πKL
The radial distance is r2-r1
The gradient of temperature is T1-T2
From the equation,
The temperature gradient has a direct and proportional relationship to radial distance
T1-T2 ∝ ln(r2-r1)
1/T1-T2 = k(r2-r1)
This inverse relationship above confirms that the statement is true
Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 6 MPa, 600°C, and 80 m/s and leaves at 50 kPa, 100°C, and 140 m/s. If the power output of the turbine is 5 MW, determine (a) the reversible power output and (b) the second-law efficiency of the turbine. Assume the surroundings to be at 25°C.
Answer:
(a) the reversible power output of turbine is 5810 kw
(b) The second-law efficiency of he turbine = 86.05%
Explanation:
In state 1: the steam has a pressure of 6 MPa and 600°C. Obtain the enthalpy and entropy at this state.
h1 = 3658 kJ/kg s1=7.167 kJ/kgK
In state 2: the steam has a pressure of 50 kPa and 100°C. Obtain the enthalpy and entropy at this state
h2 = 2682kl/kg S2= 7.694 kJ/kg
Assuming that the energy balance equation given
Wout=m [h1-h2+(v1²-v2²) /2]
Let
W =5 MW
V1= 80 m/s V2= 140 m/s
h1 = 3658kJ/kg h2 = 2682 kJ/kg
∴5 MW x1000 kW/ 1 MW =m [(3658-2682)+ ((80m/s)²-(140m/s)²)/2](1N /1kg m/ s²) *(1KJ/1000 Nm)
m = 5.158kg/s
Consider the energy balance equation given
Wrev,out =Wout-mT0(s1-s2)
Substitute Wout =5 MW m = 5.158kg/s 7
s1= 7.167 kJ/kg-K s2= 7.694kJ/kg-K and 25°C .
Wrev,out=(5 MW x 1000 kW /1 MW) -5.158x(273+25) Kx(7.167-7.694)
= 5810 kW
(a) Therefore, the reversible power output of turbine is 5810 kw.
The given values of quantities were substituted and the reversible power output are calculated.
(b) Calculating the second law efficiency of the turbine:
η=Wout/W rev,out
Let Wout = 5 MW and Wrev,out = 5810 kW
η=(5 MW x 1000 kW)/(1 MW *5810)
η= 86.05%
