A pipeline is installed to transport a red mud slurry from an open tank in an alumina plant to a disposal pond. The line is 5- in schedule 80 commercial steel, 12,000 ft long and is designed to transport the slurry at a rate of 300 gpm. The slurry properties are that of a Bingham plastic with a yield stress of 15 dyne/cm2, a limiting viscosity of 20 cP and a specific gravity of 1.3. Fittings can be neglected.

a. What delivered pump head and horsepower would be required to pump the mud.

b. What would be the required pump head and horsepower to pump water at the same rate through the same pipeline.

c. Choose a Goulds 3196 pump that could be used for both flow scenarios. What would be the proper impeller size and motor horsepower for each scenario?

To understand the behavior of the electric field at the surface of a conductor, and its relationship to surface charge on the conductor. a conductor is placed in an external electrostatic field. the external field is uniform before the conductor is placed within it. the conductor is completely isolated from any source of current or charge. part a: which of the following describes the electric field inside this conductor? it is in the same direction as the original external field.it is in the opposite direction from that of the original external field.it has a direction determined entirely by the charge on its surface.it is always zero. part b: the charge density inside the conductor is: 0non-zero; but uniformnon-zero; non-uniforminfinite part c: assume that at some point just outside the surface of the conductor, the electric field has magnitude e and is directed toward the surface of the conductor. what is the charge density η on the surface of the conductor at that point? express your answer in terms of e and ϵ0

Two loudspeakers, 5.5 m apart and facing each other, play identical sounds of the same frequency. you stand halfway between them, where there is a maximum of sound intensity. moving from this point toward one of the speakers, you encounter a minimum of sound intensity when you have moved 0.33 m . assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s.part a) what is the frequency of the sound? part b) if the frequency is then increased while you remain 0.21 m from the center, what is the first frequency for which that location will be a maximum of sound intensity? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
