You are in charge of ordering the concrete for a basement wall concrete pour. The wall forms are all set up and ready. The wall

choli [55]

Answer:

189.15cy

Explanation:

To understand this problem we need to understand as well the form.

It is clear that there is four wall, two short and two long.

The two long are $\rightarrow 120ft5in+2(10ft)$

The two long are $\rightarrow 122ft1in=122.08ft$

The two shors are $\rightarrow 86ft4.5in = 86.375ft$

The height and the thickness are 14ft and 0.83ft respectively.

So we only calculate the Quantity of concrete,

$Q_c = [(2*122.08)+(2*86-375)]*14*0.833\\Q_c=4864.02ft^3$

That in cubic yards is equal to $180.15 (1cy=27ft^3)$

Hence, we need order 5% plus that represent with the quantity

$Q_{ordered}=1.05*180.15=189.15cy$

You set a sensor to transmit the wind speed on top of a mountain. Which of these languages are you most likely to have used?

kifflom [539]

The programming language that is most likely used to transmit the wind speed is: B. SQL.

<h3>What is SQL?</h3>

SQL is an acronym for structured query language and it can be defined as a domain-specific programming language that is designed and developed for the management of various data that are saved in a relational or structured database.

This ultimately implies that, a structured query language (SQL) can be used to communicate with a database in accordance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards.

In conclusion, the programming language that is most likely used to transmit the wind speed is SQL.

What is the thermal efficiency of this regeneration cycle in terms of enthalpies and fractions of total flow?

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

$\eta =\dfrac{(h_3-h_4)-(h_2-h_1)}{(h_3-h_5)}$

Explanation:

generally regeneration of cycle is used in the case of gas turbine. due to regeneration efficiency of turbine is increased but there is no effect on the on the net work out put of turbine.Actually in regeneration net heta input is decreases that is why total efficiency increase.

Now from T-S diagram

$W_{net}=W_{out}-W_{in}$

$W_{net}=(h_3-h_4)-(h_2-h_1)$

$Q_{in}=h_3-h_5$

Due to generation $(h_5-h_2)$ amount of energy has been saved.

$Q_{generation}=Q_{saved}$

So efficiency of cycle $\eta =\frac{W_{net}}{Q_{in}}$

$\eta =\dfrac{(h_3-h_4)-(h_2-h_1)}{(h_3-h_5)}$

Effectiveness of re-generator

$\varepsilon =\dfrac{(h_5-h_2)}{(h_4-h_2)}$

So the efficiency of regenerative cycle

$\eta =\dfrac{(h_3-h_4)-(h_2-h_1)}{(h_3-h_5)}$

Write the chemical equation of the polymerization reaction to synthesize PS

marin [14]

Explanation:

Styrene is a vinyl monomer in which there is a carbon carbon double bond.

The polymerization of the styrene, which is initiated by using a free radical which reacts with the styrene and the compound thus forms react again and again to form polystyrene (PS).

The equation is shown below as:

$\begin{matrix}& C_6H_5 \\&|\\n H_2C & =CH\end{matrix}$ ⇒ $\begin{matrix}&C_6H_5 \\&|\\ -[-H_2C & -CH-]-_n\end{matrix}$
