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.
Answer:
yes
- electric and/or hybrid cars
- microwave ovens
- LED lighting
- low-power electronics
Explanation:
Advances in technology and changes in social organization have brought about reductions in energy use on many fronts.
- hybrid/electric vehicles have reduced transportation energy needs
- microwave ovens have reduced cooking energy needs
- LED lighting has reduced lighting energy needs
- low-power electronics have reduced the energy cost of technology and entertainment
- heat pumps and insulated windows have reduced energy needs for home heating and cooling
- zoning laws have reduced the need for travel to work and shopping areas
Answer:
Explanation:
For automobile emission, a uniform standard is preferred, because no unnecessary advantage is given by it to any company that is located in particular states where the regional standards are less severe.
Since pollution has its impact across the states and in the whole of the USA, then there should be uniform standards across all the states. It will also invalidate the impact of regional standards as a factor in the selection of plant locations for the automobile company. It means that a state offering less valid emission standards, will attract more companies to herself and it will be against the other states who care more about the natural environment. It can make more states to opt for the permissive emission standards, that will be more harmful to the USA as a country, than the good. So, a uniform standard is preferred to eliminate it as a factor in plant location decisions.
Yes, uniform standards are beneficial to everyone, because it will bring effective control upon the pollution level because there will be no state where the culprit firm can hide. Besides, it is more effective as efforts done towards environment conservation.
Answer:
as soon as there is a design to improve
Explanation:
As a design engineer, I started on the "design improvement" step as soon as I had an initial conceptual design.
__
Then, I started that step again when my boss told me, "make it better."
_____
The more interesting question is, "when do you <em>stop</em> the design improvement step?" (Judging by the constant barrage of software updates, that answer is, "never.")
