Steel has lower carbon percentage than cast iron.a)-True b)-False

Engineering
2 answers:
Sedbober [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Steel has low carbon percentage than cast iron.

Steel has carbon content around 2% where as cast iron has carbon content around 4%.

hence, more the carbon percentage more brittle  is the material i.e. cast iron is brittle  in nature and steel is ductile in nature.

that is why steel is used in various material. It is used from utensil to huge structures.

Answer:

The statement is True.

Explanation:

Steel and cast iron are made up of similar material but the composition of iron and carbon in both are different.

Carbon steel contains 99% iron and only 1% carbon while Cast iron contains 97% iron and 3% carbon.

Thus, steel has lower carbon percentage than cast iron.

However, this minute difference in the composition of both the materials makes a very big difference in the properties of both materials. That's why, Cast iron is more brittle than steel.

Thus, the given statement is true.

Why/how is a paperclip able to float on water?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Water surface tension

Explanation:

The water around the paperclip forms a kind of elastic surface, deforming, in which the clip can stay afloat.

This is because the molecules that are on the surface of the water, already in contact with the air, try to cling to those that are next to them and those that are immediately below.

If we added even if it were just a drop of soap in the water, the clip would go to the bottom, because the soap has the ability to decrease the surface tension of the water.

The viscosity of all liquids decreases as the temperature is a) Increased b) decreased c) maintained constant d) fluctuating e)
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

b) decreased

Explanation:

Viscosity is the measure of the resistance between the layers of the liquid. On increasing temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecules of the liquid increases which in turn increase in the random motion of the molecules. Thus,  the relative motion of  the molecules in the liquid become easier and hence, viscosity decreases.

What is the most likely cause of a double precipitin ring in a RID test
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The most likely cause of a double precipitin ring in a RID test is when there is an antigen-antibody reaction ratio within the equivalence zone. The precipitin line forms when the antigen (with one or more epitopes) and antibody are in optimal proportions to each other and form an insoluble precipitates.

A coil of wire 8.6 cm in diameter has 15 turns and carries a current of 2.7 A. The coil is placed in a magnetic field of 0.56 T.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

it is given that diameter = 8.6 cm

radius =\frac{8.6}{2}=4.3\ cm=4.3\times 10^{-2}\ m

current =2.7 ampere

number of turns = 15

area =\pi r^2=3.14\times \left ( 4.3\times 10^{-2} \right )^{2}=0.005806 m^{2}

magnetic field =0.56 T

maximum torque= BINASINΘ  for maximum torque sinΘ=1

so maximum torque==0.56×2.7×0.005806×15=0.13174 Nm

Can you use isentropic efficiency for a non-adiabatic compressor?
vodomira [7]
Mark brainliest please!

Isothermal work will be less than the adiabatic work for any given compression ratio and set of suction conditions. The ratio of isothermal work to the actual work is the isothermal efficiency. Isothermal paths are not typically used in most industrial compressor calculations.

Compressors

Compressors are used to move gases and vapors in situations where large pressure differences are necessary.

Types of Compressor

Compressors are classified by the way they work: dynamic (centrifugal and axial) or reciprocating. Dynamic compressors use a set of rotating blades to add velocity and pressure to fluid. They operate at high speeds and are driven by steam or gas turbines or electric motors. They tend to be smaller and lighter for a given service than reciprocating machines, and hence have lower costs.

Reciprocating compressors use pistons to push gas to a higher pressure. They are common in natural gas gathering and transmission systems, but are less common in process applications. Reciprocating compressors may be used when very large pressure differences must be achieved; however, since they produce a pulsating flow, they may need to have a receiver vessel to dampen the pulses.

The compression ratio, pout over pin, is a key parameter in understanding compressors and blowers. When the compression ratio is below 4 or so, a blower is usually adequate. Higher ratios require a compressor, or multiple compressor stages, be used.

When the pressure of a gas is increased in an adiabatic system, the temperature of the fluid must rise. Since the temperature change is accompanied by a change in the specific volume, the work necessary to compress a unit of fluid also changes. Consequently, many compressors must be accompanied by cooling to reduce the consequences of the adiabatic temperature rise. The coolant may flow through a jacket which surrounds the housing with liquid coolant. When multiple stage compressors are used, intercooler heat exchangers are often used between the stages.

Dynamic Compressors

Gas enters a centrifugal or axial compressor through a suction nozzle and is directed into the first-stage impeller by a set of guide vanes. The blades push the gas forward and into a diffuser section where the gas velocity is slowed and the kinetic energy transferred from the blades is converted to pressure. In a multistage compressor, the gas encounters another set of guide vanes and the compression step is repeated. If necessary, the gas may pass through a cooling loop between stages.

Compressor Work

To evaluate the work requirements of a compressor, start with the mechanical energy balance. In most compressors, kinetic and potential energy changes are small, so velocity and static head terms may be neglected. As with pumps, friction can be lumped into the work term by using an efficiency. Unlike pumps, the fluid cannot be treated as incompressible, so a differential equation is required:

Compressor Work
Evaluation of the integral requires that the compression path be known - - is it adiabatic, isothermal, or polytropic?
uncooled units -- adiabatic, isentropic compression
complete cooling during compression -- isothermal compression
large compressors or incomplete cooling -- polytropic compression
Before calculating a compressor cycle, gas properties (heat capacity ratio, compressibility, molecular weight, etc.) must be determined for the fluid to be compressed. For mixtures, use an appropriate weighted mean value for the specific heats and molecular weight.

Adiabatic, Isentropic Compression

If there is no heat transfer to or from the gas being compressed, the porocess is adiabatic and isentropic. From thermodynamics and the study of compressible flow, you are supposed to recall that an ideal gas compression path depends on:

Adiabatic Path
This can be rearranged to solve for density in terms of one known pressure and substituted into the work equation, which then can be integrated.
Adiabatic Work
The ratio of the isentropic work to the actual work is called the adiabatic efficiency (or isentropic efficiency). The outlet temperature may be calculated from
Adiabatic Temperature Change
Power is found by multiplying the work by the mass flow rate and adjusting for the units and efficiency.
Isothermal Compression

If heat is removed from the gas during compression, an isothermal compression cycle may be achieved. In this case, the work may be calculated from:
