1. Crude oil flows through an uphill section of the Keystone pipeline at a rate of 2.94 m3 /s (equivalent to 1.6 million barrels of day). The average elevation gain in the section of pipeline is 10 m per kilometer. The pipe diameter is 1.2m. The maximum allowable pressure in the pipe (at the inlet) is 8.27 MPa; the minimum pressure (at the exit) required is 3.45kPa. The crude oil has density 930kg/m3 and a dynamic viscosity of 1.68×10-2 Pa.s. For above condition consider the surface roughness factor is 0.26 mm. Determine the maximum possible distance between pumping station with and without elevation gain. Use Haaland equation for friction factor.

A beam of light hits a 2.36cm thick silicate glass plate at an angle of 64 degrees (as measured from the normal to the surface of the glass). If the coefficient of linear absorption is 0.019 cm-1 and the index of refraction is 1.417, what fraction of light is passed through the plate. The answer should have three decimals of accuracy.

You Answered: .867 Correct Answer 0.888 You will need to calculate the actual distance the light travels in the plate, do not just use the thickness. Don't forget to include Snell's law as needed.

A small quantity of n-octane is placed in a wide test tube at 20 degrees C and two capillaries are inserted vertically and immersed to the same depth. The radii of the capillaries are unknown but are of the order of 0.1 and 0.01 mm. Air is blown through each capillary in turn and the pressure necessary to just produce a slow stream of bubbles is recorded on a manometer filled with water. Show that the surface tension of each test liquid may be expressed as K(h1 – h2) where h1 and h2 are the two manometer readings and K is a constant for the apparatus.

I need a two pages summary of the book ( Theory And Design For Mechanical Measurements, 6th Edition) for the chapters from one to chapter seven. The book also contain an introduction and summary for every single chapter which helps but these summaries have to be paraphrased and the most important these chapters have to be interconnected- how these chapters are connected to each others?

modules that could be used in various applications, including
integrating nanoscale cooling devices within the uniforms of
firefighters, emergency workers, and military personnel;
embedding thermoelectric modules in facades of a building;
and using thermoelectric modules to recover waste heat in
automobiles. Research two applications for this technology
proposed within the past five years. Investigate the technical
readiness and economic feasibility for each concept. Report your findings in an executive summary.

Superheated steam at 8 MPa and 480°C leaves the steam generator of a vapor power plant. Heat transfer and frictional effects in the line connecting the steam generator and the turbine reduce the pressure and temperature at the turbine inlet to 7.3 MPa and 440°C, respectively. The pressure at the exit of the turbine is 10 kPa, and the turbine operates adiabatically. Liquid leaves the condenser at 8 kPa, 36°C. The pressure is increased to 8.6 MPa across the pump. The turbine and pump isentropic efficiencies are 88%. The mass flow rate of steam is 79.53 kg/s. Determine (a) the net power output, in kW. (b) the thermal efficiency. (c) the rate of heat transfer from the line connecting the steam generator and the turbine, in kW. (d) the mass flow rate of condenser cooling water, in kg/s, if the cooling water enters at 15°C and exits at 35°C with negligible pressure change.
