Consider a 2-foot wide rectangular lab flume. Two sharp-crested weirs are available for use: one is a contracted rectangular weir that is 12 inches wide (L = 12 inches) and the other is a v-notch weir with an angleof 90°. Either one could be installed in the downstream end of the flume to measure the flowrate. (a) Draw each weir to scale – an end-view as if you are downstream looking back upstream at the weir, not a longitudinal profile. Assume the dimension P (distance from bottom of flume to lowest point of the weir) is 8 inches and the maximum H is 6 inches. (b) If the smallest head over the weir (H) that you can measure is 0.01 ft, what is the lowest flowrate that you can measure with each weir? (c) If the construction of the flume and weirs limits you to a maximum H of 6 inches, what is the maximum flowrate that you can measure with each weir? (d) If you are planning an experiment that requires precise measurement of low flowrates, which weir would be a better choice? Explain why

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
