The title of our study is "Design and Fabrication of an Agricultural Spraying Attachment for an Autonomous Rover" we need help in the machine design part of our study, specifically Pump selection, battery selection, and center of gravity computation I already sent you the image of the rover Rover weight capacity 35 kilo grams (payload) Rover measurements: Wheel distance - 14.5 inches and 8.5 inches Rover platform size (width & length) 14.4 inches x 10.4 inches Height- 15.8 inches. Water tank selection More or less 25 liters *For tank selection we need to justify the size with the center of gravity, proving that is the maximum dimension or liters of the tank because the center of gravity will be higher making the rover prone to toppling Pump selection *Our sprayer design has two nozzles which splits using a tee splitter, we need to find the size of the pump to obtain the same discharge rate of a normal sprayer. A normal sprayer has a 12V pump and a pressure from 0.2 to 0.45 mpa…

During a steady flow process, the pressure of the working substance drops from 1,380 kpa to 138 kpa, the speed increases from 61 m/s to 305 m/s, the internal energy of the open system decreases 58.1 KJ/kg, and the specific volume increases from 0.0625 m3/kg to 0.5 m3/kg. No heat is transferred, determine the work in KW if the mass flow at the rate of 272.15 kg/hr.arrow_forwardA commonly used unit in everyday language to state weight is the pound (lb). There are actually several formal definitions of pound. One classification system defines a pound-mass (analogous to kg in SI units) and a pound-force (lbf) (analogous to a Newton); this is formally called English Engineering units but also commonly used in US Customary System units. The “pound” in the “pounds per square inch” of psi refers to pound-force. Hence, psi has units of force per area. Note that 1 lbf is defined as the gravitational force generated by 1 lb (mass) by multiplying it by the standard gravitational acceleration at the earth’s surface. Starting with just the two everyday conversion approximations every Canadian should know (1.00 kg ≈ 2.20 lb (mass) and 1.00 inch ≈ 2.54 cm), derive an approximation of 1.00 psi in Pa through unit conversions only (show each step).arrow_forwardQuestion 2.
