an airplane has a propeller diameter of 8 feet with a propeller pitch of 30 degrees. If the propeller has an efficiency of 70% (i.e., for every rotation of the propeller, the airplane moves forward 70% of the distance that would be achieved if the propeller where a perfect screw). Find the distance the propeller tip makes in one minute at 3000 rpm, the distance propeller tip would make if it were perfect, and find the distance the airplane moves in that minute.

4. A single-start, square-threaded power screw has the following baseline character- istics: Outside diameter pitch, p Load, W 25.4 mm 5.08 mm 1500 N thread friction coefficient 0.08 collar friction coefficient collar diameter 0.04 28 mm (a) What torque, TR, total, is required to raise the load? Include units. (b) What torque, TL, total, is required to lower the load? Include units (c) Suppose the screw runs at 100 rpm for ten seconds, raising the load. How much energy is...
2. A square threaded power screw is used for a machine tool. The screw has 75 mm external diameter and 12 mm pitch. The operating nut takes the axial load of 550 N on a flat surface of 70 mm and 105 mm internal and external diameters respectively If the coefficient of friction is 0.16 for all contact surfaces on the nut, determine the power required to rotate the operating nut when the cutting speed is 7.5 m/min. Also find...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
