A cylindrical drum (2 ft. dia ,3 ft height) is filled with a fluid whose density is 40 lb/ft^3. Determine (a. the total volume of a fluid, (b) its total mass in pound and Slugs, (c) its specific volume, and (d) its specific weight where g= 31.90 fps^2

Respuesta :

Answer:

a)[tex]V=9.42\ ft^3[/tex]

b)Mass in lb = 376.8 lb

Mass in slug = 11.71 slug

c)[tex]v=0.025\ ft^3/lb[/tex]

d)[tex]w=1276 \ lb/ft.s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that

d= 2 ft

r= 1 ft

h= 3 ft

Density

[tex]\rho = 40\ lb/ft^3[/tex]

a)

We know that volume V given as

[tex]V=\pi r^2 h[/tex]

[tex]V=\pi \times 1^2\times 3[/tex]

[tex]V=9.42\ ft^3[/tex]

b)

Mass = Density x volume

[tex]mass =40\times 9.42\ lb[/tex]

mass= 376.8 lb

We know that

1 lb = 0.031 slug

So 376.8 lb= 11.71 slug

Mass in lb = 376.8 lb

Mass in slug = 11.71 slug

c)

we know that specific volume(v) is the inverse of density.

[tex]v=\dfrac{1}{\rho}\ ft^3/lb[/tex]

[tex]v=\dfrac{1}{40}\ ft^3/lb[/tex]

[tex]v=0.025\ ft^3/lb[/tex]

d)

Specific weight(w) is the product of density and the gravity(g).

w= ρ X g

w = 40 x 31.9

[tex]w=1276 \ lb/ft.s^2[/tex]

The determined values for the fluid

  • a.) The volume of the fluid is 3 × π ft.³ (approximately 9.425 ft.³)
  • b.) The mass of the fluid in pounds is 120·π lb (approximately 376.99 m) The mass of the fluid in slugs is approximately 11.72 slugs
  • c) The specific volume, is approximately 40.02 lbf/ft.³

The reasons why the above values are correct are given as follows;

The known parameter are;

Dimensions of the cylindrical drum, are;

Diameter, D = 2 ft.

Height, h  = 3 ft.

Density of the fluid, ρ = 40 lbf/ft.³

(a) The total volume of fluid is given by the formula for the volume of a cylinder which is presented as follows;

[tex]V = \pi \times \dfrac{D^2}{4} \times h[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]Volume \ of \ a \ cylinder, \ V = \pi \times \dfrac{2^2}{4} \times 3 = 3 \cdot \pi[/tex]

The volume of the cylinder, V = 3·π ft.³

The volume of the cylinder = The volume of the fluid = 3 × π ft.³

(b) Mass = Density × Volume

The total mass of the fluid = The total volume of the fluid × Fluid density

∴ The total mass of the fluid = 3·π ft.³ × 40 lb/ft.³ =  120·π lb

The mass in slugs;

1 slug = 32.1740 lb

[tex]1 \, lb = \dfrac{1 \, slug}{32.1740 }[/tex]

[tex]120 \cdot \pi \, lb = 120 \cdot \pi \times \dfrac{1 \, slug}{32.1740 } \approx 11.72 \ slugs[/tex]

(c) The specific volume is given as follows;

[tex]Specific \ volume = \dfrac{V}{m}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]Specific \ volume = \dfrac{3 \cdot \pi \ ft.^3}{120 \cdot \pi \ lb} = \dfrac{1}{40} \, \dfrac{ft.^3}{lb} = 0.025 \ \dfrac{ft.^3}{lb}[/tex]

(d) The specific weight, γ, is the weight per unit volume

The specific weight is given as follows;

γ = ρ·g

Where;

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 31.90 fps²

Which gives;

γ = 40 lb/ft.³ × 31.90 fps² = 1,276 lb/(ft.²·s²) ≈ 40.02 lbf/ft.³
