Answer:

Federal agencies

Explanation:

NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) also called between 1901 and 1988 National Bureau of Standards (NBS), it is an agency of the Technology Administration of the United States Department of Commerce. The mission of this institute is to promote innovation and industrial competition in the United States through advances in metrology, standards and technology in ways that improve economic stability and quality of life.

As part of this mission, NIST scientists and engineers continually refine the science of measurement (metrology) by creating precise engineering and manufacturing required for most current technological advances. They are also directly involved in the development and testing of standards made by the private sector and government agencies. The NIST was originally called the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), a name it had from 1901 to 1988. The progress and technological innovation of the United States depends on the abilities of the NIST, especially if we talk about four areas: biotechnology , nanotechnology, information technologies and advanced manufacturing.

N DevOps, high levels of automation are expected, which increases productivity. Which fact illustrates this productivity increas

Bess [88]

Answer:

Less intervention of humans.

Explanation:

This fact illustrate that less intervention of human in the production is the main cause for increase in productivity because use of machinery completed the work in less time as compared to the use of human labour. In many industries, machines takes the place of humans which increases the production of products but at the same time, increase the unemployment rate in the society. Making the whole industry on automation can increase the productivity of products in less time.

The Energy Losses Associated with Valves and Fittings: a)- are generally associated with a K factor b)- are generally associated

madam [21]

Answer:

a)Are generally associated with factor.

Explanation:

We know that losses are two types

1.Major loss :Due to friction of pipe surface

2.Minor loss :Due to change in the direction of flow

As we know that when any hindrance is produced during the flow of fluid then it leads to generate the energy losses.If flow is along uniform diameter pipe then there will not be any loss but if any valve and fitting placed is the path of fluid flow due to this direction of fluid flow changes and it produce losses in the energy.

Lot' of experimental data tell us that loss in the energy due to valve and fitting are generally associated with K factor.These losses are given as

$Losses=K\dfrac{V^2}{2g}$

A 4-L pressure cooker has an operating pressure of 175 kPa. Initially, one-half of the volume is filled with liquid and the othe

vodomira [7]

Answer:

the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Volume = 4L = 0.004 m³

V $_f$ = V $_g$ = 0.002 m³

Using Table ( saturated water - pressure table);

at pressure p = 175 kPa;

v $_f$ = 0.001057 m³/kg

v $_g$ = 1.0037 m³/kg

u $_f$ = 486.82 kJ/kg

u $_g$ 2524.5 kJ/kg

h $_g$ = 2700.2 kJ/kg

So the initial mass of the water;

m₁ = V $_f$ /v $_f$ + V $_g$ /v $_g$

we substitute

m₁ = 0.002/0.001057 + 0.002/1.0037

m₁ = 1.89414 kg

Now, the final mass will be;

m₂ = V/v $_g$

m₂ = 0.004 / 1.0037

m₂ = 0.003985 kg

Now, mass leaving the pressure cooker is;

m $_{out$ = m₁ - m₂

m $_{out$ = 1.89414 - 0.003985

m $_{out$ = 1.890155 kg

so, Initial internal energy will be;

U₁ = m $_f$ u $_f$ + m $_g$ u $_g$

U₁ = (V $_f$ /v $_f$ )u $_f$ + (V $_g$ /v $_g$ )u $_g$

we substitute

U₁ = (0.002/0.001057)(486.82) + (0.002/1.0037)(2524.5)

U₁ = 921.135288 + 5.030387

U₁ = 926.165675 kJ

Now, using Energy balance;

E $_{in$ - E $_{out$ = ΔE $_{sys$

QΔt - m $_{out$ h $_{out$ = m₂u₂ - U₁

QΔt - m $_{out$ h $_g$ = m₂u $_g$ - U₁

given that time = 75 min = 75 × 60s = 4500 sec

so we substitute

Q(4500) - ( 1.890155 × 2700.2 ) = ( 0.003985 × 2524.5 ) - 926.165675

Q(4500) - 5103.7965 = 10.06013 - 926.165675

Q(4500) = 10.06013 - 926.165675 + 5103.7965

Q(4500) = 4187.690955

Q = 4187.690955 / 4500

Q = 0.9306 kW

Therefore, the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW

Please define the coefficient of thermal expansion?

Vikki [24]

Answer:

The coefficient of thermal expansion tells us how much a material can expand due to heat.

Explanation:

Thermal expansion occurs when a material is subjected to heat and changes it's shape, area and volume as a result of that heat. How much that material changes is dependent on it's coefficient of thermal expansion.

Different materials have different coefficients of thermal expansion (i.e. It is a material property and differs from one material to the next). It is important to understand how materials behave when heated, especially for engineering applications when a change in dimension might pose a problem or risk (eg. building large structures).
