The processing of raw coal involves “washing,” in which coal ash (nonorganic, incombustible material) is removed. The article “Quantifying Sampling Precision for Coal Ash Using Gy’s Discrete Model of the Fundamental Error” (Journal of Coal Quality, 1989:33–39) provides data relating the percentage of ash to the volume of a coal particle. The average percentage of ash for six volumes of coal particles was measured. The data are as follows: Volume (cm3) 0.01 0.06 0.58 2.24 15.55 276.02 Percent ash 3.32 4.05 5.69 7.06 8.17 9.36 Using the most appropriate model, predict the percent ash for particles with a volume of 48 cm3. Round answer to three decimal places. * the answer i got was of 6.260 was wrong
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING UPVOTE WILL BE GIVEN. PLEASE WRITE THE COMPLETE SOLUTIONS LEGIBLY. SHOW THE STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS WITH SHORT COMMENT/EXPLANATION. ANSWER IN 4 DECIMAL PLACES. Two gaseous streams containing the same fluid enters a mixing chamber and leaves as a single stream. For the first gas the entrance conditions are A1=500 cm², v1=230 m/s, p1=1.60 kg/m³. For the second gas the entrance conditions are A2= 300 cm³, m2=8.84 kg/s, v2=0.502 m³/kg. The exit stream conditions is v3=130 m/s and v3=0.437 m3/kg. Determine the following: (a) the total mass flow leaving the chamber (kg/sec) (b) the velocity of the gas at 2. (m/sec)
The horizontal force due to water acting on the bolt (Fh): Fh=ρ×A1×V1×V1--V2 Fh=1000×π4×0.0752×1.254×1.254+11.286( Fh)=69.472 This is the only part I did not understand how to get. Can you please explain more? I arrived with this equation, -P1A1 - P2A2 (cancelled since atmos. Pres.) +Fh = rho A1v1 (v2-v1) Why did P1A1 disappear in your solution? How did you come up with (v1 - - v2) ? What is the control volume? Why did you not do a summation of forces is equal to change in momentum but instead go immediately to getting the horizontal force acting on the bolt?

An automotive engineer is testing how quickly a newly designed sports car accelerates from rest. He has collected data giving the velocity V, in miles per hour, as a function of time t, in seconds, since the car was at rest. Below is a table giving a portion of his data. Time (t) Velocity (V) 2.0 28.4 2.5 33.9 3.0 39.4 3.5 44.9 (a) By calculating differences, show that the data in this table can be modeled by a linear function. Time 2.0 to 2.5 2.5 to 3.0 3.0 to 3.5 Change in t Change in V (b) What is the slope for the linear function modeling velocity as a function of time? mph per secExplain in practical terms the meaning of the slope. This means that, after every second, the car will be going miles per hour faster. This says that the acceleration is ---Select--- varying constant . (c) Use the data in the table to find the formula for velocity V as a linear function of time t that is valid over the time period covered in the table.V =…
