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

Physics
1 answer:
qaws [65]3 years ago

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.

Question 11
notka56 [123]

The volume of the gas once it reaches the surface of water is 2 liters.

The volume of the air in balloon at depth of 100ft (30m) is 500ml.

The pressure at this point is 4 atm.

Assuming that the balloon have no compression by rubber of balloon the volume of air at the water surface is V.

The pressure at the surface of water is 1 atms.

As we know, from the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

Where,

P is the Pressure of gas,

V is the volume of the gas,

n is the number of moles,

R is the gas constant whose value is 0.082057 L atm mol-1 K-1,

T is the temperature.

Assuming that the temperature is constant,

We know,

PV = nRT

All quantities on the right side are constants,

So, we can write,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Putting all the the values,

4(0.5) = 1V₂

V₂ = 2 Liters.

The volume of the air at the surface is 2 liters.

1 liter = 0.001 m

Hence,

2 liters = 0.002 m³

So the volume of air at the surface is 0.002m³.

A sprinter accelerates from rest to 10.0 m/s in 1.28 s . Part A Part complete What is her acceleration in m/s2? a a = 7.81 m/s2
Mashutka [201]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of sprinter, u = 0

Final speed of sprinter, v = 10 m/s

Time taken, t = 1.28 s

a. We need to find the acceleration of sprinter. It can be calculated using first equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{10\ m/s}{1.28\ s}

a=7.81\ m/s^2

b. Final speed of the sprinter, v = 36 km/h

Time, t = 0.000355 h

Acceleration, a=\dfrac{36}{0.000355}

a=101408.45\ km/h^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

One baked potato provides an average of 30 mg of vitamin C. If 70 potatoes weigh 20 lb., how many milligrams of vitamin C are pr
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

105 mg

Explanation:

Given that:

1 baked potato provides 30 mg of vitamin C.

So,

70 baked potatoes provide 30\times 70 mg of vitamin C

Also,

70 potatoes = 20 lb

So,

20 lb potatoes provide 30\times 70 mg of vitamin C

Thus,

1 lb potatoes provide \frac {30\times 70}{20} mg of vitamin C

<u>Thus, 105 mg of Vitamin C are provided per pound of the potatoes.</u>

A car travels from Boston to Hartford in 4 hours. The two cities are 240 kilometers apart. What was the average speed of the car
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Average speed is 60 km/hour

Explanation:

When we need to calculate average speed, we use this equation:

V = \frac{x_{f} - x_{o}}{t_{f} - t_{o}}

Where:   x_{o} = 0 km   position at the beginning

              x_{f} = 240 km   at the end

              t_{o} = 0 hours

              t_{f} = 4 hours

Then:     V = \frac{240 km - 0 km}{4 hours - 0 hours}

              V = \frac{240 km}{4 hours}

Finally    V = 60 km/hour
