    How do I plot a log log graph using this equations?

    Can't I just do it on excel ? I don't undersntand how to get P and M from these equations by taking the log log (hG aH) = log (Ch G^m L^n) and log ( hD aM) = log (Cm G^p L^q) any idea?

    How do I plot a log log graph using this equations?

    (HgAh)=ChG^mL^n (HdAm)=CmG^pL^q I need to plot (HgAh) and (HdAm) As Fuction of G( Gas flow rate) with lines of Constant L( Liquid flow rate) and discern M and P from the equations above from Log Log Graphs. I have collected a table of raw data with Various G at constant L. How do I...

    Water requirement to extinguish fire ?

    I've researched Some real tire fire cases ( having over 1/2 million of tires) and saw that the fire brigade claim that using water isn't feasible as millions of cubic meter would be necessary so they just leave the tires burning. The thing is I don't know what to do with these figures my...

    Water requirement to extinguish fire ?

    My job is to come up with the water requirement for a supposed tire fire. Given tyre caloric value 2800KJ/kg and for water Cp= 4200J/Kg.K and Latent heat: 2260 KJ/kg. Tyre weight: 5.6KG Stockpile containing: Half million tyres. I came up with some ridiculous high numbers but I think...

    Engineering Ideas for preventing a fire at a tyre recycling plant ?

    I've read all of them but the thing is my "project manager" assigned this project and also quoted the latent heat and heat of vaporisation of water as well as for the tires ? I haven't got a clue what to do with those figures. the only data I know is that I have a reservoir nearby and I'm...

    Engineering Ideas for preventing a fire at a tyre recycling plant ?

    Hey guys I was trying to come up with some ideas for preventing a fire at a recycling power plant. From an engineerings perspective. Some method of cooling or something ? any idea/input would be appreciated guys. thanks.

    Calculating Power and Tension for Lifting a Boat on an Incline

    I used the two values because I also need to know the power the required to control the speed of both lock and counterweight when descending. I need to charge each boat lift for each complete cycle. Here is the full problem I edited. ( sorry for the mix up) Homework Statement Hi guys can you...

    Calculating Power and Tension for Lifting a Boat on an Incline

    266 = ( 133m x 2 ) Ascending and descending the incline. is it correct ? When ascending the boat lock is 25t lighter than the counterweight when descending the boat lock is 25 Heavier than the counterweight. it takes 4 min to lift the lock to the max height so a full cycle down the...

    Calculating Power and Tension for Lifting a Boat on an Incline

    Homework Statement Hi guys can you help me with this problem? I have to find the power required to lift a boat up an incline (24.25 degrees to the horizontal). The boat lock is attached to a counterweight which is 25T heavier when the boat is ascending the incline. The mass of a boat...

    What's the volume of water required inside the lock if

    Thanks for the input buddy. I think the second option is what my lecturers are really looking to see in our assumptions while doing this project. Assuming that the hull is a simple box where would the layer between oil and liquid lie ? I am trying to design a way to drain the lock up to a point...

    What's the volume of water required inside the lock if

    Hey sorry, I forgot to mention some of the details yes. The ship average displacement is 400T + 300t ( load = oil C10H22) Oil density is 730 mg mL−1. The ship suffers a hull fracture and empties its load (oil ) into the moving lock. The lock dimension is: 40 long x 6 width x 3.5 height...

    What's the volume of water required inside the lock if

    But how do I repeat the calculation? the ship is 400T heavy without the oil The amount of oil displaced by the **** is greater than the actual oil it emptied into the lock. I don't know how to proceed

    What's the volume of water required inside the lock if

    What's the volume of water required inside the lock if... The dimension of the lock is:40 long x 3.5 height x 6 width allowing 0.5 height. The ship weights 400T plus 300T(LOAD) total= 700T whats the amount of water used per lock allowing allowing 0.5 m from the height? What if the...
