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.

What is the lehr and what purpose does it serve?

levacccp [35]

Explanation:

Step1

Lehr is the long open or closed insulated space for glass manufacturing. Lehr must be large enough to keep the cooling of glass uniform. The function of Lehr is the same as an annealing process in metallurgy.

Step2

Lehr decrease the cooling and temperature variation in glass production. Uneven temperature creates the internal stress in the glass. Lehr reduces the internal stress in the glass product. So, the main purpose of the Lehr is to reduce the internal stress and keep the cooling uniform.
