Ice. The formation of ice in the myriad of tiny cracks and joints in a rock's surface slowly pries it apart over thousands of years. Frost wedging results when the formation of ice widens and deepens the cracks, breaking off pieces and slabs. Frost wedging is most effective in those climates that have many cycles of freezing and thawing. Frost heaving is the process by which rocks are lifted vertically from soil by the formation of ice. Water freezes first under rock fragments and boulders in the soil; the repeated freezing and thawing of ice gradually pushes the rocks to the surface.

Indicate the correct statement about the effect of Reynolds number on the character of the flow over an object.
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

If Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.

Explanation:

Reynolds number is an important dimensionless parameter in fluid mechanics.

It is calculated as;

R_e__N} = \frac{\rho vd}{\mu}

where;

ρ is density

v is velocity

d is diameter

μ is viscosity

All these parameters are important in calculating Reynolds number and understanding of fluid flow over an object.

In aerodynamics, the higher the Reynolds number, the lesser the viscosity plays a role in the flow around the airfoil. As Reynolds number increases, the boundary layer gets thinner, which results in a lower drag. Or simply put, if Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.

About ceramics: Only can be optically opaque or semi-transparent. a) True b)-False
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer: True

Explanation: Ceramics have the property that when the band gap present between the atoms are larger than the light energy then the tend to become opaque because the light scattering is caused . They also show the property of being translucent when there are chances of the light to get a path through the surface of ceramic so they get the light at some parts e.g.porcelain .Therefore the statement given is true that ceramics can be optically opaque or semi-transparent(translucent).

german

Answer:

BOD concentration at the outflow = 17.83 mg/L

Explanation:

given data

flow rate of Q = 4,000 m³/day

BOD1 concentration of Cin = 25 mg/L

volume of the pond = 20,000 m³

first-order rate constant equal = 0.25/day

to find out

What is the BOD concentration at the outflow of the pond

solution

first we find the detention time that is

detention time t = \frac{volume}{flow rate}

detention time t = \frac{20000}{4000}

detention time = 5 days

so

BOD concentration at the outflow of pond is express as

BOD concentration at the outflow = Cin ( 1 - e^{-kt} )

here k is first-order rate constant and t is detention time and Cin is BOD1 concentration

so

BOD concentration at the outflow = 25 ( 1 - e^{-0.25(5)} )

BOD concentration at the outflow = 17.83 mg/L
