Chapter 5, Problem 1P
To determine

Summarize the number of neutrons, protons, and electrons for neutral atoms of the following nuclides: 29Si,44Sc,49V,210Bi, and241Pu.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

For nuclide 29Si:

Find the atomic number (Z):

Refer Periodic Table,

The atomic number (Z) (it gives both the number of protons and electrons for the neutral atom) is 14.

Find the number of neutrons (N):

A=N+ZN=AZ

Here, A is total number of nucleons.

Substitute 29 for A and 14 for Z.

N=2914=15

Similarly calculate the number of neutrons, protons, and electrons for the remaining neutral atoms.

Summarize the calculated values of number of neutrons, protons, and electrons as in Table (1).

6.48 This "double" nozzle discharges water (p = 62.4 lbm/ft³) into the atmosphere at a rate of 16 cfs. If the nozzle is lying in a horizontal plane, what X-component of force acting through the flange bolts is required to hold the nozzle in place? Note: Assume irrotational flow, and assume the water speed in each jet to be the same. Jet A is 4 in. in diameter, jet B is 4.5 in. in diameter, and the pipe is 1.4 ft in diameter.
