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.

A hydraulic jump is induced in an 80 ft wide channel.The water depths on either side of the jump are 1 ft and 10 ft.Please calcu

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

a) 42.08 ft/sec

b) 3366.33 ft³/sec

c) 0.235

d) 18.225 ft

e) 3.80 ft

Explanation:

Given:

b = 80ft

y1 = 1 ft

y2 = 10ft

a) Let's take the formula:

$\frac{y2}{y1} = \frac{1}{5} * \sqrt{1 + 8f^2 - 1}$

$10*2 = \sqrt{1 + 8f^2 - 1$

1 + 8f² = (20+1)²

= 8f² = 440

f² = 55

f = 7.416

For velocity of the faster moving flow, we have :

$\frac{V_1}{\sqrt{g*y_1}} = 7.416$

$V_1 = 7.416 *\sqrt{32.2*1}$

V1 = 42.08 ft/sec

b) the flow rate will be calculated as

Q = VA

VA = V1 * b *y1

= 42.08 * 80 * 1

= 3366.66 ft³/sec

c) The Froude number of the sub-critical flow.

V2.A2 = 3366.66

Where A2 = 80ft * 10ft

Solving for V2, we have:

$V_2 = \frac{3666.66}{80*10}$

= 4.208 ft/sec

Froude number, F2 =

$\frac{V_2}{g*y_2} = \frac{4.208}{32.2*10}$

F2 = 0.235

d) $El = \frac{(y_2 - y_1)^3}{4*y_1*y_2}$

$El = \frac{(10-1)^3}{4*1*10}$

$= \frac{9^3}{40}$

= 18.225ft

e) for critical depth, we use :

$y_c = [\frac{(\frac{3366.66}{80})^2}{32.2}]^1^/^3$

= 3.80 ft

What type of car engine is best for cold weather.

Komok [63]

Answer:Antifreeze/coolant

Explanation: keeps your engine cool in warm weather and keeps it from freezing up in the winter. A 50-50 mix of full strength coolant and water generally protects to around -30 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure you check with the supplier or your owner's manual for the correct formulation

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

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