FLOW is typically expressed as some volume of water per second or minute. Common examples are gallons or liters per second (or minute), and cubic feet or cubic meters per second (or minute): Each can be easily converted to another, as follows:

  • 1 cubic foot = 7.481 gallons
  • 1 cubic meter = 35.31 cubic feet
  • 1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters
Method 1: Measuring Time to Fill ContainerThe Container Fill method works only for very small systems.

Build a temporary dam that forces all the water to flow through a single outlet pipe, Using a bucket or larger container of a known volume, use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to fill the container. Then, divide the container size by the number of seconds.

Example:

Container = 5 gallon paint bucket

Time to fill = 8 seconds

  • 5 gallons / 8 seconds = 0.625 gallons per second (gps)

To convert into Cubic Feet per Second (cfs):

  • 7.481 gallons per second = 1 cubic foot per second, so
  • 0.625 gps / 7.481 = 0.0835 cubic feet per second (cfs).

What if only half of the water vapor that the air can hold is actually in the air.What is the relative humidity?

Relative humidity is a measure of the current amount of water vapor in the air compared to the maximum amount it can hold at a given temperature. If only half of the water vapor that the air can hold is present, the relative humidity would be 50%. This means the air is at half of its saturation point for moisture.


How many half pints are in a pound?

A half pint is a measure of volume, typically equal to 8 fluid ounces. Since a pound is a measure of weight, the conversion between the two depends on the substance being measured, as different substances have different densities. For example, a pound of water is approximately 1.92 half pints, but this will vary for other liquids or solids.


How do you prepare ammonium molybdate?

Ammonium molybdate is (NH4)2MoO4. Its molar mass is 148g/mol. A 0.5M solution will have half a mole per liter of water. Half a mole of ammonium molybdate is 74g, so you would measure out 74g of it, and dissolve it in a liter of water.


Why is it not possible to measure reduction potential of isolated half cell?

The reduction potential of an isolated half-cell cannot be measured directly because it is defined relative to another half-cell. To measure the potential, a complete electrochemical cell is required, consisting of two half-cells connected by a conductive path and a salt bridge. The potential difference arises from the tendency of electrons to flow from the anode to the cathode, making it necessary to have both a reducing and an oxidizing half-reaction to establish a measurable voltage. Thus, without a reference point, the absolute reduction potential of a single half-cell remains undefined.

Is an oil pipeline simplex half-duplex or full-duplex and why?

An oil pipeline would be classified as SIMPLEX, because the oil flows in only one direction. Theoretically, I suppose it also could be half-duplex (flows in only one direction at a time, but can change direction). However, it would be very impractical to switch the direction of flow (but not impossible).
