Answer:Many people don't understand or have a clear picture of what the engineers do.

Explanation: Due to the nature of the engineering profession which makes it a field of study that is connected to all aspects of life, Most people don not have a clear picture or understanding of the job of engineers.

The engineering profession,takes major parts in the core economic components of the society but their roles are not felt directly by the vast majority of the people.

Different opinion polls/ surveys have shown how uninformed the people are as it regards the field of engineering like the Harris poll.

Where has the process of nuclear fusion been occurring for over four billion years

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Inside the Sun.

Explanation:

Inside the Sun, this process begins with protons (which is simply a lone hydrogen nucleus) and through a series of steps, these protons fuse together and are turned into helium. This fusion process occurs inside the core of the Sun, and the transformation results in a release of energy that keeps the sun hot.

A gas cylinder is connected to a manometer that contains water. The other end of the manometer is open to the atmosphere, which

horrorfan [7]

Answer: the absolute static pressure in the gas cylinder is 82.23596 kPa

Explanation:

Given that;

patm = 79 kPa, h = 13 in of H₂O,

A sketch of the problem is uploaded along this answer.

Now

pA = patm + 13 in of H₂O ( h × density × g )

pA= 79 + (13 × 0.0254 × 9.8 × 1000/1000)

pA = 82.23596 kPa

the absolute static pressure in the gas cylinder is 82.23596 kPa

Consider a pan of water being heated (a) by placing it on an electric range and (b) by placing a heating element in the water. W

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Method B is the more efficient way of heating the water.

Explanation:

Method B is more efficient because by placing a heating element in the water as in described in method B, the heat that is lost to the surroundings is minimized which implies that more heat is supplied directly to the water. Therefore, more heating is achieved with a lesser amount of electrical energy input. Whereas placing the pan on a range means more heat losses to the surrounding and as such it will take a longer time for the water to heat up and also take more electrical energy.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$r=K A^{1/5} \rho^{-1/5} t^{2/5}$

$A= \frac{r^5 \rho}{t^2}$

$A=1.033x10^{21} ergs *\frac{Kg TNT}{4x10^{10} erg}=2.58x10^{10} Kg TNT$

Explanation:

Notation

In order to do the dimensional analysis we need to take in count that we need to conditions:

a) The energy A is released in a small place

b) The shock follows a spherical pattern

We can assume that the size of the explosion r is a function of the time t, and depends of A (energy), the time (t) and the density of the air is constant $\rho_{air}$ .

And now we can solve the dimensional problem. We assume that L is for the distance T for the time and M for the mass.

[r]=L with r representing the radius

[A]= $\frac{ML^2}{T^2}$ A represent the energy and is defined as the mass times the velocity square, and the velocity is defined as $\frac{L}{T}$

[t]=T represent the time

$[\rho]=\frac{M}{L^3}$ represent the density.

Solution to the problem

And if we analyze the function for r we got this:

$[r]=L=[A]^x [\rho]^y [t]^z$

And if we replpace the formulas for each on we got:

$[r]=L =(\frac{ML^2}{T^2})^x (\frac{M}{L^3})^y (T)^z$

And using algebra properties we can express this like that:

$[r]=L=M^{x+y} L^{2x-3y} T^{-2x+z}$

And on this case we can use the exponents to solve the values of x, y and z. We have the following system.

$x+y =0 , 2x-3y=1, -2x+z=0$

We can solve for x like this x=-y and replacing into quation 2 we got:

$2(-y)-3y = 1$

$-5y = 1$

$y= -\frac{1}{5}$

And then we can solve for x and we got:

$x = -y = -(-\frac{1}{5})=\frac{1}{5}$

And if we solve for z we got:

$z=2x =2 \frac{1}{5}=\frac{2}{5}$

And now we can express the radius in terms of the dimensional analysis like this:

$r=K A^{1/5} \rho^{-1/5} t^{2/5}$

And K represent a constant in order to make the porportional relation and equality.

The problem says that we can assume the constant K=1.

And if we solve for the energy we got:

$A^{1/5}=\frac{r}{t^{2/5} \rho^{-1/5}}$

$A= \frac{r^5 \rho}{t^2}$

And now we can replace the values given. On this case t =0.025 s, the radius r =140 m, and the density is a constant assumed $\rho =1.2 kg/m^2$ , and replacing we got:

$A=\frac{140^5 1.2 kg/m^3}{(0.025 s)^2}=1.033x10^{14} \frac{kg m^2}{s^2}$

And we can convert this into ergs we got:

$A= 1.033x10^{14} \frac{kgm^2}{s^2} * \frac{1 x10^7 egrs}{1 \frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}=1.033x10^{21} ergs$

And then we know that 1 g of TNT have $4x10^4 erg$

And we got:

$A=1.033x10^{21} ergs *\frac{Kg TNT}{4x10^{10} erg}=2.58x10^{10} Kg TNT$
