Answer:
b)Poly crystalline and amorphous materials with small diameter
Explanation:
Fibers have high length to diameter ratio and also have high strength.Generally length of fibers is very high and diameter is very low as compare to length.
Mostly fibers is used to transfer data from one place to another place with help of fiber optical cables.Fiber optic cables is used in telecommunication.In these cables data covert in to the electric single and reach at define location and after data is decode and covert from electric single in to original data.
Fibers poly crystalline and amorphous materials with small diameter.
Answer:
The claim is valid.
Explanation:
Let assume that heat pump is reversible. The coefficient of performance for the heat pump is:



The claim is valid as real heat pumps have lower coefficients of performance.
Answer:
-6.326 KJ/K
Explanation:
A) the entropy change is defined as:

In an isobaric process heat (Q) is defined as:

Replacing in the equation for entropy
m is the mass and Cp is the specific heat of R134a. We can considerer these values as constants so the expression for entropy would be:
Solving the integral we get the expression to estimate the entropy change in the system

The mass is 5.25 Kg and Cp for R134a vapor can be consulted in tables, this value is 
We can get the temperature at the beginning knowing that is saturated vapor at 500 KPa. Consulting the thermodynamic tables, we get that temperature of saturation at this pressure is: 288.86 K
The temperature in the final state we can get it from the heat expression, since we know how much heat was lost in the process (-976.71 kJ). By convention when heat is released by the system a negative sign is used to express it.

With
clearing for T2 we get:

Now we can estimate the entropy change in the system

The entropy change in the system is negative because we are going from a state with a lot of disorder (high temperature) to one more organize (less temperature. This was done increasing the entropy of the surroundings.
b) see picture.
Answer:
Explanation:
Attached is the solution to the question
The load is 17156 N.
<u>Explanation:</u>
First compute the flexural strength from:
σ = FL / π
= 3000
(40
10^-3) / π (5
10^-3)^3
σ = 305
10^6 N / m^2.
We can now determine the load using:
F = 2σd^3 / 3L
= 2(305
10^6) (15
10^-3)^3 / 3(40
10^-3)
F = 17156 N.
