Answer:

Absolute pressure , P(abs)= 433.31 KPa

Explanation:

Given that

Gauge pressure P(gauge)=  50 psi

We know that barometer reads atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure P(atm) = 29.1 inches of Hg

We know that

1 psi = 6.89 KPa

So 50 psi = 6.89 x 50 KPa

P(gauge)=  50 psi =344.72 KPa

We know that

1 inch = 0.0254 m

29.1 inches = 0.739 m

Atmospheric pressure P(atm) = 0.739 m of Hg

We know that density of Hg =13.6\times 10^3\ kg/m^3

P = ρ g h

P(atm) = 13.6 x 1000 x 9.81 x 0.739 Pa

P(atm) = 13.6  x 9.81 x 0.739 KPa

P(atm) =98.54 KPa

Now

Absolute pressure = Gauge pressure + Atmospheric pressure

P(abs)=P(gauge) + P(atm)

P(abs)= 344.72 KPa + 98.54 KPa

P(abs)= 433.31 KPa

A gear train has two gears. The driver gear has 8 teeth and a diametral pitch of 6 teeth/inch. the follower gear has 24 teeth. W
Sliva [168]

Answer:

18 teeth/inch

Explanation:

Given that: i. driver gear has 8 teeth and diametral pitch of 6 teeth/inch.

                  ii. follower gear has 24 teeth.

Let the followers diametral pitch be represented by x.

Then,

8 teeth ⇒  6 teeth/inch

24 teeth ⇒ x teeth/inch

So that;

x = \frac{24 x 6}{8}

   = \frac{144}{8}

   = 18 teeth/inch

The diametral is 18 teeth/inch

The underground cafe has an operating cash flow of $187,000 and a cash flow to creditors of $71,400 for the past year. During th
Serggg [28]

Answer:

cash flow to stockholders = $39,700

Explanation:

Operating cash flow = $187,000

cash flow to creditors = $71,400

Net working capital = $28,000

Net capital spending =  $47,900

Cash flow to stockholders = ?

CFF = operating cash flow - net working capital - net capital spending

CFF = $187,000 - $28,000 - $47,900 = $111,100

CFF = cash flow to creditors + cash flow to stockholders

cash flow to stockholders = CFF - cash flow to creditors

cash flow to stockholders = $111,100 - $71,400 = $39,700

Hence $39,700 is the amount of the cash flow to stockholders for the last year.

Assume the work done compressing the He gas is -63 kJ and the internal energy change of the gas is 79 kJ. What is the heat loss
klemol [59]

Answer:

Heat gain of 142 kJ

Explanation:

We can see that job done by compressing the He gas is negative, it means that the sign convention we are going to use is negative for all the work done by the gas and positive for all the job done to the gas. With that being said, the first law of thermodynamics equation will help us to solve this problem.

ΔU = Q + W ⇒ Q = ΔU -W

Q = 79 - (-63) = 142 kJ

Therefore, the gas gained heat by an amount of 142 kJ.

Fresh cut potato strips with a moisture content of 50% (w/w) on wet basis are fried in peanut oil to produce French fries.
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Percentage of oil uptake by the potato = 5.57% on a wet basis (including the moisture content)

Percentage of oil uptake by the potato = 7.24% on a dry basis (excluding the moisture content)

Explanation:

Starting with 1000kg of fresh potatoes,

It is given that this consists of 50% (w/w) of water.

Meaning that, 1000 kg of fresh potatoes consists of (1000 × 50%) of water = 500 kg of water.

If 1000 kg of potatoes consist of 500 kg of water, then the remaining 500 kg is pure potatoes (since it is stated that freshly cut potatoes have no oil content)

After frying, the weight of the French fries is 700 kg now.

But of this 700 kg, 23 % of its weight is moisture content, i.e. water,

23% of 700 kg = 161 kg.

This means that the amount of potatoes and oil in the French fries is 700 - 161 = 539 kg

But, recall, that the amount of potatoes in this process from the start is 500 kg. This amount doesn't change even on frying the fresh potatoes into French fries.

So, amount of oil in the French fries = 539 - 500 = 39 kg

Percentage of oil uptake by the potato = 100% × (amount of oil intake)/(total mass of potatoes) = 100% × 39/700 = 5.57% on a wet basis (including the moisture content)

And 100% × 39/539 = 7.24% on a dry basis (excluding the moisture content)
