Answer:

Post indicator valves

Explanation:

Post indicator valves were first made and patented by its inventors Crookham and Lee in 1972 for Clow Corp., a pipe manufacturing company. In 1974, they were publicly installed for the first time.

<em>PIV, indicator post, I post, IP, post indicator, or wall post, a post indicator valve</em> is a valve assembly used for the purpose of underground piping for water supply to fire protection systems such as sprinklers, sprays, foams, deluges, etc. They have a lockable actuator which looks like a red metal steering wheel or a wrench/handle on top of a post. It consists of a glass or plastic window, which indicates whether the valve is open or shut.

<u>PIVs can be of 3 types: </u>

<u />

Ground Post: This is an indicator post that has its base buried in the ground and typically has a lockable handle or clamp. It is used when the valve is installed out of the building.

Wall Post: This is a short indicator post, usually horizontally bound through a flange to the wall of the building. This post can be operated by a handwheel.

Wall Post: This is a short indicator post, usually bolted horizontally to the wall of the building through a flange. This post is operated through a handwheel. This is used when the water supply passes through a cavity of the wall.

Pedestal Post: This post looks like a ground sign. Furthermore, instead of being embedded in the earth, it is bolted through a flange to a horizontal surface, usually a concrete base. It also operates through a handle or wrench that can be locked. It is helpful when the valve is situated inside a building and the water supply is stored

Answer:

P = VI = (IR)I = I2R

Explanation:

What the equation means is that if you double the current you end up with 4 times the power loss. It's like the area of carpet you need for a room - if you make the room twice as long and twice as wide you need 4x as much carpet. The physical explanation is that the voltage difference along a wire depends on the current - more current flowing with a resistance means more voltage (pressure of electricity if you like) is built up.

This extra voltage means more power. So if you double the current your would double the power, but you also double the voltage which doubles the power again = 4x as much power. P = VI = (IR)I = I2R

I hope this helps you out, if I'm wrong, just tell me.

2 ways in which the effects of friction can be minimised in the experiment​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Friction can be minimized by using lubricants like oil and grease and by using ball bearing between machine parts. A substance that is introduced between two surfaces in contact, to reduce friction, is called a lubricant. Fluid friction can be minimized by giving suitable shapes to the objects moving in the fluids.
