6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Cast iron or Aluminium alloy are typically used. Aluminium is much lighter in weight and it can transfer heat better to the coolant. While Cast Iron is typically stronger and is thus still used by the manufacturers.

b. Copper can be used as a condensing heat exchanger for hot steam due to its optimal thermal properties and its ability to resist corrosion.

c. high-speed steel are perfect for producing drill bits because of its hardness and resistance to heat to an extent. Drill bits tend to produce heat as a result of the friction between it and the material to be drilled.

d. lead can be used as a container for strong acids because of its anti-corrosive properties

e.zinc and copper can be used as fuel in pyrotechnics mainly due to the fact that burn with refreshing colours. Aluminium can also be used.

f. Platinum is the metal that best suits this purpose because of its high melting point and resistivity to oxidation.

A piston-cylinder apparatus has a piston of mass 2kg and diameterof

iragen [17]

Answer:

M =2.33 kg

Explanation:

given data:

mass of piston - 2kg

diameter of piston is 10 cm

height of water 30 cm

atmospheric pressure 101 kPa

water temperature = 50°C

Density of water at 50 degree celcius is 988kg/m^3

volume of cylinder is $V = A \times h$

$= \pi r^2 \times h$

$= \pi 0.05^2\times 0.3$

mass of available in the given container is

$M = V\times d$

$= volume \times density$

$= \pi 0.05^2\times 0.3 \times 988$

M =2.33 kg

Answer:

A periodic function is a function that returns to its value over a certain period at regular intervals an example is the wave form of flux density (B) = sin wt

Explanation:

A periodic function is a function that returns to its value over a certain period at regular intervals an example is the wave form of flux density (B) = sin wt

attached to the answer is a free plot of the output starting with zero degree for one coil rotating in a uniform magnetic field

B ( wave flux density ) = Bm sinwt and w = 2 $\pi$ f = $\frac{2\pi }{T}$ rad/sec

A very long pipe of 0.05 m (r1) radius and 0.03 m thickness (r2 - r1) is buried at a depth of 2m (z) to transport liquid nitroge

Elenna [48]

Answer:

The surface temperature of the ground is = 296.946K

Explanation:

Solution

Given

r₁= 0.05m

r₂= 0.08m

Tn =Ti = 77K

Ki = 0.0035 Wm-1K-1

Kg = 1 Wm-1K-1

Z= 2m

Now,

The outer type temperature (Skin temperature pipe)

Q = T₀ -T₁/ln (r2/r1)/2πKi = 2πKi T0 -T1/ln (r2/r1)

Thus,

10 w/m = 2π * 0.0035 = T0 -77/ln 0.08/0.05

⇒ T₀ -77 = 231.72

T₀= 290.72K

The shape factor between the cylinder and he ground

S = 2πL/ln 4z/D

where L = length of pipe

D = outer layer of pipe

S = 2π * 1/4 *2/ 2 * 0.08 = 1.606m

The heat gained in the pipe is = S * Kg * (Tg- T₀)

(10* 1) = 1.606 * 1* (Tg- 290.72)

Tg - 290.72 = 6.2266

Tg = 296.946K

Therefore the surface temperature to the ground is 296.946K
