One of the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges for Engineering is Develop Carbon Sequestration Methods. The NAE defines carbon sequestration as “capturing the carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels and storing it safely away from the atmosphere.” The most promising storage location is underground, possibly in sedimentary brine formations. You are assigned to develop instrumentation to measure the properties of a brine formation, located 800 meters [m] deep. Assume the instruments will feel an equivalent amount of pressure to the amount of hydrostatic pressure felt at the bottom of an 800-meter [m] high column of brine, with a specific gravity of 1.35. To what hydrostatic pressure, in units of atmospheres [atm], must the instrumentation be built to withstand?

The pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid can be measured by means of a spinal tap. A hollow tube is inserted into the spinal column, and the height to which the fluid rises is observed. If the fluid rises to a height of 160 mm, we write its gauge pressure as 160 mm H2O. (a) Express this pressure in pascals, in atmospheres, and in millimeters of mercury.arrow_forwardIn medical work, pressures are often measured in units of mm of H2O because body fluids, including the cerebrospinal fluid, typically have nearly the same density as water.

If the fluid rises to a height of 160 mm, we write its gauge pressure as 160 mm H2O. a) Sometimes it is necessary to determine whether an accident victim has suffered a crushed vertebra that is blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the spinal column. In other cases, a physician may suspect that a tumor or other growth is locking the spinal column and inhibiting the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Such conditions can be investigated by means of the Queckensted test. In this procedure the veins in the patient’s neck are compressed, to make the blood pressure rise in the brain. The increase in pressure in the blood vessels is…arrow_forward

Could you break down the process by which h=0.02423 m? It's been a while since I was last in school, so the mathematical method by which 'h' was solved is a little unclear to me.arrow_forwardThe amount of time it takes for a pendulum to swing “to-and-fro” through one complete cycle is called the “period” and is calculated using the following equation: where T = period in seconds, I = mass moment of inertia, m = mass of pendulum in kilograms g = gravitational acceleration, 9.8 m/s2, h = effective length of pendulum in meters What is the appropriate unit for I if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units?

- 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…arrow_forwardnOn 23 January 1960, Jacques Piccard (son of the boat's designer Auguste Piccard) and US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh achieved the goal of Project Nekton. nThe Trieste is a Swiss-designed, Italian-built deep-diving research bathyscaphe, reached a record maximum depth of 35,797 ft, in the deepest known part of the Earth's oceans, the Challenger Deep, in the Mariana Trench near Guam in the Pacific Ocean.

We fill our tires with air, or with nitrogen, but it always works out the same way. Enough gas goes in, the tire inflates, and then the pressure starts going up. In this assignment, we’ll be investigating the ways that the gas laws impact how we treat our tires. Q1. I have good information that in Fast 29, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) will need to refill a tire quickly during a dramatic moment. For this reason, he has a 3.00 L tank of compressed air that is under 2.7892*103 mmHg and is kept cool in dry ice at -35.0 °C. When Dom hooks his compressed air up to his completely empty 10.50 L tire at 39.2 °C and lets it run, what will his final tire pressure be, in atm? Assume all the air is transferred into the tire. Is his tire pressure above the 2.31 atm that he needs to save the planet/his family/his crew? Q2. Your car tire pressure sensor looks to see when your tire pressure…arrow_forward
