Why do the pipes in a steam-heating system need to be insulated?

Physics
1 answer:
qaws [65]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1. Increase Efficiency: Insulating the condensate or hot water return lines reduces heat loss from the water returning to the boiler. The hotter the water returning to the boiler is, the quicker it is to convert back to steam, which takes less energy to accomplish.

What's the value of 1,152 Btu in joules? A. 1,964,445 J B. 2,485,664 J C. 987,875 J D. 1,215,360 J
OLga [1]

Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given,  1,152 British thermal units

1 British thermal unit = 1055.06 joules

So, in 1,152 British thermal units there will be :

1152\times 1055.06 Joules=1215429.12 Joules=1.21542912\times 10^{8} Joules

Hence, from the given options the closest answer is of option (d). So, option (d) is correct.

Leona [35]

Answer:

\vec{d}=17.7km

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector that defines the position of a particle. The vector extends from the initial position to the final position. Therefore, the displacement only takes into account this positions, since its trajectory is not important:

\vec{d}=6.3km-1.8km+13.2km\\\vec{d}=17.7km

A Carnot heat engine uses a hot reservoir consisting of a large amount of boiling water and a cold reservoir consisting of a lar
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

W=4037.36\ J

Explanation:

Given:

mass of ice melted, m=3.3\times10^{-2}\ kg

time taken by the ice to melt, t=5\ min=300\ s

latent heat of the ice, L=3.34\times 10^5\ J

Now the heat rejected by the Carnot engine:

Q_R=m.L

Q_R=0.033\times 3.34\times 10^5

Q_R=11022\ J

Since we have boiling water as hot reservoir so:

T_H=373\ K

The cold reservoir is ice, so:

T_L=273\ K

Now the efficiency:

\eta=1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\eta=1-\frac{273}{373}

\eta=26.81\%

Now form the law of energy conservation:

Heat supplied:

Q_S-W=Q_R

where:

Q_S= heat supplied to the engine

Q_S-\eta\times Q_S=Q_R

Q_S(1-\eta)=Q_R

Q_S=\frac{11022}{1-0.2681}

Q_S=15059.36\ J

Now the work done:

W=Q_S-Q_R

W=15059.36-11022

W=4037.36\ J
