3.1. Oil with (ρ = 788 kg/m3 and ν=0.00067 m2 is removed to the atmosphere through a pipe, 7mm diameter, and 37m long. The pipe is located 3.5m from the top of the oil. If the pipe is build using smooth stainless steel, find the flow rate of the oil and the condition of the flow.
3.2. A water tank is located at the top of the roof with 20°C of water that will be used for showers. The tank is connected to a 25m long and 17mm diameter of asphalted cast iron pipe with 6 bends (KL = 1.2). Water needs to flow at 60 L/s, find the high of the water level.

Each axis of a two-axis plotter utilises a stepper motor with 60 pulses per revolution. For each axis, the output is coupled to a lead screw with a 13:1 gear reduction and has a pitch = 0.9mm. The table is required to travel along a linear trajectory with neither axis exceeding a travel speed of 160mm/min. To achieve an incremental position of 310mm along the x-axis and 800mm along the y-axis, determine the motor speed required for the y-axis in Hz.

The department has been approached by the school superintendent about starting a Fire and Life Safety Education Program for all grades, K-12. As the fire inspector, this project will fall under your responsibility. The superintendent has asked that you submit your program plan in writing so that it can be reviewed and discussed at the next school board meeting. If your plan is approved, the program will begin the next school year. However, there are budget constraints, and several members of the school board feel like there are more important areas and programs that need funding.
You are to create a plan for a Fire and Life Safety Education Program. Given the circumstances with some of the school board members, your plan should begin with a summary of a comprehensive overview of general fire safety for occupied buildings. You should also demonstrate rationale for the general fire safety provisions as methods of fire protection. Let them know how important this program is through the short-term and long-term benefits to students and to the community as a whole. Also, be sure to include the following:
Your response must be at least two pages in length, in APA style. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations. The title and reference pages are not included in the page-count requirement.

We have a metal alloy (bcc) that
Metal A is FCC, 30 atom% (40.244 wt%), r=0.2 nm, A = 55 g/mol
and, Metal B is BCC, 70 atom% (59.756 wt%), r=0.24 nm, A = 35 g/mol
1. Find the volume per atom for metal A and metal B by dividing the unit cell volume by the number of atoms in the unit cell. Put your units in cm3/atom.
2. Use the atom% values and the answers to (a) to find the average volume per atom

An audit was conducted on a large food processing plant and it revealed poor maintenance practices resulting in numerous and repeated equipment failures, low reliability and availability. You are required to recommend the key elements of an effective, optimal and proactive maintenance programme that will ensure sustained and continuous improvement which will result in world class standards of reliability and availability.

On plant Mercury there is a special lake with two layers: dH2O and dHg (liquid mercury). The liquid water layer floats on top of the liquid mercury layer. Let ρH2O and ρHg denote the densities of water and mercury respectively. The gravitational field near the planet’s surface is gy, and the the atmospheric pressure near the surface of the lake P0.
a.Determine an expression in terms of the gi variables for the pressure in the lake as a function of depth all the way to the bottom of the layer of mercury. Graph this function.
b. Suppose an object density ρ is dropped into the lake. Assume ρH2O < ρ < ρHg. What fraction of the object you think will be submerged in the mercury after the object comes to rest in static equilibrium in the limit ρ → ρH2O .What fraction of the object you think will be submerged in the mercury after the object comes to rest in static equilibrium in the limit ρ → ρHg?
c.Determine an expression for ρ in terms of ρH 2O and ρHg that you believe would result in the object being half-submerged in the mercury layer and half-submerged in the water layer?Assume ρH2O < ρ < ρHg
d. Consider the general case where the density of the object is simply the unknown variable p. Determine an expression for the fraction of the object that will be submerged in the mercury when the object comes to rest in static equilibrium?
