Brine, with a density of 1.25 grams per cubic centimeter [g/cm3] and a viscosity of 0.015 grams per centimeter second [g/(cm s)] is pumped through a 5-centimeter [cm] radius steel pipe at an average velocity of 15 centimeters per second [cm/s]. Determine the Reynolds number in the pipe for the system and indicate if the flow is laminar, transitional, or turbulent.

(f) and the fluidity of the liquid?arrow_forwardsssolve very very fast in 15 min | I need a clear answer by hand, not by keyboardarrow_forwardSuppose you're converting a bill of materials for machining feedstock from the British gravitational (U.S. system) of units to International System (SI) units. Your goal is to have all of the material quantities in kilograms. Your bill of materials lists values for required weights of brass rod in pounds. To convert to these values to kilograms you first you divide by gravitational acceleration in feet per second squared to get a mass in slugs, then convert slugs to kilograms using standard conversion factors.

- In the movie Back to the Future, Marty travels back in time to 1955. In 1955, the only available light bulbs in the United States were incandescent bulbs. Assume that last year, you traveled back in time to 1955 and changed all the light bulbs in a single average American household (45 light bulbs) from 75-watt incandescent bulbs to the corresponding 17-watt LED bulbs. The estimated usage is 3 hours per day , at a cost of $0.11 per kilowatt-hour . Based on energy cost alone - not considering the cost to replace any light bulbs and not considering any changes in energy cost with time - how much money in dollars would this household have saved over a 66-year time span (from 1955 to 2021) by changing from incandescent to LED bulbs?arrow_forwardThe differential change in pressure p close to the surface of a static fluid is given by the following expression:dp/dy = -3Ap2,where A is a constant, with units of 1/(atm•m), and p is the pressure in atm. The pressure at the surface of the fluid is p(0) = 1 atm, and the coordinate y here is positive upwards with origin at the surface. An absulute pressure gauge is placed at a depth 0.19m in the fluid. What would be the reading of the pressure gauge in units in atm? you can take the constant A=1(atm.m)^-1arrow_forwardProcess Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers , please help in this Question , thanks.arrow_forward
- A mercury thermometer, which has been on a table for some time, is registering the room temperature, 50°F. Suddenly, it is placed in a 395°F oil bath. The following data are obtained for the response of the thermometer. If after 10 seconds the thermometer reading is 176 F, determine the thermometer time constant.

Oil drilling rigs are used for drilling holes for identification of oil or natural gas sources and for extraction.An oil drilling system can be thought of as a drillinside a straw, which is placed inside a glass. Thestraw assembly represents the drill string, the drillsurrounded by fluid, and the glass represents thevolume, the annulus, around the drill string throughwhich slurry and eventually oil will flow as the drillingprogresses.Assume that we want to control the drill pressure output, Pd (t), with a reference voltage input,Vd (t). A control loop model (Zhao, 2007) consistsof a drill-pressure controller, drill motor subsystem,pulley subsystem, and drill stick subsystem. Theoutput signal of the latter, the drill pressure, Pd (t),is measured using a transducer, which transmits anegative feedback voltage signal, Vb(t), to the drillpressure controller. That signal is compared at theinput of the controller to the reference voltage, Vr(t),Based on the error, e(t) = Vr (t) – Vb(t),…arrow_forwardTires are one of the most frequently encountered applications of the gas laws that we never think about. 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
