The fins attached to a surface are determined to have an effectiveness of 0.9. Do the rate of heat transfer from the surface dec

Answer: The rate of heat transfer decreases.

Explanation:

Fin effectiveness is defined as the ratio of heat transfer rate from a  finned surface to the heat transfer rate from the same surface if there were no fins.  Its  value is expected to be greater than 1.

Having effectiveness  value of 0.9  which is less than 1 indicates that the heat transfer rate will decrease since a fin effectiveness smaller than 1 shows that the  fin acts as insulation (thermal insulation).

How can pavement markings indicate that you are driving in the right direction?
Ann [662]

Answer:

There is a yellow line on your left and a white line on your right.

Explanation:

The yellow line between the roads separate the oncoming traffic lane, so the drivers won't get confused. Since the driver is on the right side of the road, the yellow line would be on their left, since the middle line (yellow line) is in the middle of the road.

Why metals are good thermal conductors, but polymers are not?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: Metals are good thermal conductors because they have close packaged metal ions in their lattice structure but in polymers they have discontinuous structure which make them poor as a conductor.

Explanation: Metals are considered as good thermal conductors because of their lattice structure which has tightly packed ions in it. In the outer shell of atoms the electrons are free to move and thus conduct the electricity but for the polymers, they have a different structure as compared to metals thus it makes it difficult for a polymer to conduct electricity due to high number of discontinuous particle chains. Therefore metals are good conductors , but polymers are not.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

(A) Adding Nitrogen

Explanation:

R11 or R123 are flammable substance under certain conditions when mixed with Oxygen, adding Nitrogen is a safety procedure used in displacing any R11 or R123 which are considered as hazardous when mixed with Oxygen.
