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.

Kerosene flows through 3/4 standard type K drawn copper tube. The pressure drop measured at two points 50 m apart is 130 kPa. De

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

$Q=4.98\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s$ .

Explanation:

Given that

L= 50 m

Pressure drop = 130 KPa

copper tube is 3/4 standard type K drawn tube.

From standard chart ,the dimension of 3/4 standard type K copper tube given as

Outside diameter=22.22 mm

Inside diameter=18.92 mm

Dynamic viscosity for kerosene

$\mu =0.00164\ Pa.s$

We know that

$\Delta P=\dfrac{128\mu QL}{\pi d_i^4}$

Where Q is volume flow rate

L is length of tube

$d_i$ is inner diameter of tube

ΔP is pressure drop

μ is dynamic viscosity

Now by putting the values

$\Delta P=\dfrac{128\mu QL}{\pi d_i^4}$

$130\times 1000=\dfrac{128\times 0.00164\times 50Q}{\pi \times 0.01892^4}$

$Q=4.98\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s$

So flow rate is $Q=4.98\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s$ .

How many 10" diameter circles can be cut from a semicircular shape that has a 20"

N76 [4]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Explanation:

Only one such circle can be drawn. The diameter of the 10" circle will be a radius of the semicircle. In order for the 10" circle to be wholly contained, the flat side of the semicircle must be tangent to the 10" circle. There is only one position in the figure where that can happen. (see attached).
