Answer:

The power of the pump is 23.09 kW.

Explanation:

Parameters

gravitational constant, $g = 9.81 m/s^2$

mass flow rate, $\dot{m} = 60.6 kg/s$

flow density, $\rho = 1000 kg/m^3$

efficiency of the pump, $\eta = 0.74$

output gauge pressure, $p_o = 344.75 kPa$

input gauge pressure, $p_i = 68.95 kPa$

cross-sectional area of output pipe, $A_o = 0.069 m^2$

cross-sectional area of input pipe, $A_i = 0.093 m^2$

height of discharge, $z_o = 1.22 m - 0.61 m = 0.61 m$ (evaluated at pump’s maximum height of 1.22 m)

input height, $z_i = 0 m$

hydraulic power of the pump, $P =? kW$

Initially, the volumetric flow (Q) needs to be determined

$Q = \frac{\dot{m}}{\rho}$

$Q = \frac{60.6 kg/s}{1000 kg/m^3}$

$Q = 0.0606 m^3/s$

Next, compute the velocity (v) for both input and output

$v_o = \frac{Q}{A_o}$

$v_o = \frac{0.0606 m^3/s}{0.069 m^2}$

$v_o = 0.88 m/s$

$v_i = \frac{Q}{A_i}$

$v_i = \frac{0.0606 m^3/s}{0.093 m^2}$

$v_i = 0.65 m/s$

Subsequently, the total head (H) can be calculated

$H = (z_o - z_i) + \frac{v_o^2 - v_i^2}{2 \, g} + \frac{p_o - p_i}{\rho \, g}$

$H = (0.61 m - 0 m) + \frac{{0.88 m/s}^2 - {0.65 m/s}^2}{2 \, 9.81 m/s^2} + \frac{(344.75 Pa-68.95 Pa)\times 10^3}{1000 kg/m^3 \, 9.81 m/s^2}$

$H = 28.74m$

Finally, the computation of pump power is done as follows

$P = \frac{Q \, \rho \, g \, H}{\eta}$

$P = \frac{0.0606 m^3/s \, 1000 kg/m^3 \, 9.81 m/s^2 \, 28.74m}{0.74}$

$P = 23.09 kW$

Daniel [215]

For Deterministic Quicksort, which operates by selecting the first element as the pivot, consider a scenario where the pivot consistently divides the array into segments of 1/3 and 2/3 for all recursive calls. (a) The runtime recurrence for this case needs to be determined. (b) Use a recursion tree to justify that this recurrence resolves to Theta(n log n). (c) Provide distinct sequences of 4 and 13 numbers that prompt this behavior.

estimate the area for a landfill for 12000 p producing waste for 10 y. assume that the national average is

alex41 [274]

Answer:

1.015 ha.

Explanation:

To calculate the landfill area required for 12,000 people producing waste over 10 years, follow these steps:[STEP ONE: Calculate the average solid waste generated per person per year (kg p^-1 ^y(kg/py)).

According to the problem, the average solid waste produced is 2.78 kg per person daily (kg/pd), hence converting to kg/py involves:

2.78 × 365 days = 1014.7 kg/py.

STEP TWO: Determine yearly volume of refuse per person.

Thus, volume = 1014.7 kg/py ÷ 500 kg/m^3 = 2.03 m^3 per person per year.

STEP THREE: Calculate total solid waste volume over 10 years for 12,000 individuals.

Total waste volume over 10 years = 10 × 12,000 × 2.03 = 243,600 m^3.

STEP FOUR: Find the required area for the landfill.

Note: The total height for the landfill should be 20 + 4 = 24m.

Thus, the area for the landfill = 243,600 m^3 / 24m = 10,150 m^2.

If 10,000 m^2 equals 1 ha, then 10,150 m^2 ÷ 10,000 m^2 = 1.015 ha.

(f). Ensure to expand the landfill area for enhancements.

A piece of corroded metal alloy plate was found in a submerged ocean vessel. It was estimated that the original area of the plat

Mrrafil [253]

Answer:

t = 5.27 years

Explanation:

Firstly, the corrosion penetration rate is defined by the formula;

CPR = (KW)/(ρAt)

Where;

K = constant based on exposed area A.

W - mass lost over time

t- duration

ρ - density

A - area exposed

From the problem, we have;

W = 7.6kg or 7.6 x 10^(6) mg

CPR = 4 mm/yr

ρ = 4.5 g/cm³

Area = 800 cm²

K is a constant valued at 87.6cm

Rearranging the CPR formula to isolate t, we derive;

t = KW/(ρA(CPR))

t = (87.6 x 7.6 x 10^(6))/(4.5 x 800 x 4) = 46233.3 hours

The duration in question needs to be expressed in years.

Thus, converting hours to years;

There are 8760 hours in a year.

Therefore;

t = 46233.3/8760 = 5.27 years.
