pantera1 [17]4 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

We feel chilled in summer but comfortable in the summer under the same temperature because of our thermal comfort.

Thermal comfort is a function of heat loss from the body and during winter there is excessive heat loss due to heat flux.

As room temperature is fixed so summer and winter comfort cannot be attributed due to heat loss by convection. Due to differences in heat flux radiations in summer and winter there is a chilled feeling associated with winters.

A Carnot heat engine operates between 1000 deg F and 50 deg F, producing 120 BTU of work. What is the heat input to the engine?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

184.6 BTU

Explanation:

The thermal efficiency for a Carnot cycle follows this equation:

η = 1 - T2/T1

Where

η: thermal efficiency

T1: temperature of the heat source

T2: temperature of the heat sink

These temperatures must be in absolute scale:

1000 F = 1460 R

50 F = 510 R

Then

η = 1 - 510/1460 = 0.65

We also know that for any heat engine:

η = L / Q1

Where

L: useful work

Q1: heat taken from the source

Rearranging:

Q1 = L / η

Q1 = 120 / 0.65 = 184.6 BTU

The function below takes a single parameter, a list of numbers called number_list. Complete the function to return a string of t
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The solution code is written in Python:

  1. def convertCSV(number_list):
  2.    str_list = []
  3.    for num in number_list:
  4.        str_list.append(str(num))
  5.    
  6.    return ",".join(str_list)
  7. result = convertCSV([22,33,44])
  8. print(result)

Explanation:

Firstly, create a function "convertCSV" with one parameter "number_list". (Line 1)

Next, create an empty list and assign it to a new variable <em>str_list</em>. (Line 2)

Use for-loop to iterate through all the number in the <em>number_list</em>.(Line 4). Within the loop, each number is converted to a string using the Python built-in function <em>str() </em>and then use the list append method to add the string version of the number to <em>str_list</em>.

Use Python string<em> join() </em>method to join all the elements in the str_list as a single string. The "," is used as a separator between the elements (Line 7) . At the end return the string as an output.

We can test the function by calling the function and passing [22,33,34] as an argument and we shall see "22,33,44" is printed as an output. (Line 9 - 10)

"Water is flowing in a metal pipe. The pipe OD (outside diameter) is 61 cm. The pipe length is 120 m. The pipe wall thickness is
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Total wight =640.7927 KN

Explanation:

Given that

do= 61 cm

L =120

t= 0.9 cm

That is why inner diameter of the pipe

di= 61 - 2 x 0.9 cm

di=59.2 cm

Water density ,ρ = 1 kg/L = 1000 kg/m³

Weight of the pipe ,wt = 2500 N/m

wt = 2500 x 120 N = 300,000 N

The wight of the water

wt ' = ρ V g

wt'=1000\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (0.61^2-0.0592^2)\times 9.81\times 120 N

wt'=340792.47 N

That is why total wight

Total wight = wt + wt'

Total wight =300,000+ 340792.47 N

Total wight =640,792.47 N

Total wight =640.7927 KN
