What would be the smallest natural number which when divided either by 20 or by 42 or by 76 leaves a remainder of 7 in each case?
A mine fan running at 300 rpm delivers 150 m/s of air at a pressure of 900 Pa. Fan and motor efficiencies are 75% and 90% respectively. If the fan speed is reduced to 250 rpm, the saving in electric power input to the motor in kW is ______.
Subsidence profile function, s(x), along the lateral cross-section over a flat longwall panel is given as
where = distance (m) from the inflection point and = depth (m) of the seam. Considering that the inflection point lies vertically above the edge of the panel, the angle of draw in degrees for a depth of 250 m is ______.
A goat void of 250 m is filled in 3 hours by hydraulic sand stowing method. Density of the sand is 2.6 tonne/m. If the filling factor of goat void is 0.9 and sand to water ratio in the stowing mixture is 1.0 tonne to 1.1 m, the stowing rate in m/h is ______.
A single-acting reciprocating pump delivers 0.018 m/s of water when running at 45 cycles per minute. The piston diameter is 300 mm and stroke length is 400 mm. The volumetric efficiency of the pump in % is ______.
