Answer:

a) At about 15 to 35 km from the Earth

b) It helps to absorb most of the ultraviolet rays from the sun, that is otherwise too dangerous here on Earth.

c) The depletion of the ozone layer is due to free radical catalysts, like nitric oxide (NO), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydroxyl (OH), but majorly due to atomic chlorine (Cl), and atomic bromine (Br) finding their way up to the the ozone layer.

d) The refrigeration processes and the aerosol aligned industrial processes, are the major culprits.

Explanation:

a) The ozone layer is lies in the lower portion of the stratosphere, from an height of about 15 to 35 kilometers from the surface of the Earth.

b) The ozone layer contains a large portion of ozone, a molecule of oxygen containing three oxygen atom bonded together. This ozone is created at this level by the action of ultraviolet radiation on an ordinary oxygen molecule, splitting it into two oxygen atom. Each of this oxygen atom then proceed to combine with another ordinary oxygen molecule, to form an ozone molecule. The ozone at this layer absorbs a large portion of the ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

c) The depletion of the ozone layer is due to the presence of some radical, that are able to survive up to the level of the ozone layer. At this level, ultraviolet radiation causes these these radicals to dissociate to give free bromine and chlorine mostly. This chlorine and bromine molecules breaks down the ozone molecules.

d) The various industrial processes includes refrigeration, and the aerosol industries that majorly releases the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and bromofluorocarbons, which are the main culprits of ozone depletion.

Answer is: 12.8 because when you multiply it by the 2nd power of 8 then the scraper equals to be 12.8 in height and that’s how much each scraper requires to operate :)

Why research and development in Maintenance Engineering?

Dimas [21]

Answer:

The research and development plays an important role in the maintenance engineering is that it basically improve the equipment maintainability and reliability.

According to the requirement, the system and the equipment needs to be maintain in the maintenance engineering.

The research and the development basically provide the products and services and also improve the existing products and services of the system in the maintenance engineering.

Consider the brass alloy for which the stress-strain behavior is shown in the Animated Figure 7.12. A cylindrical specimen of th

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

(a) 0.1509 mm

(b) 0.00525 mm

Explanation:

Stress, $\sigma$ is given by

$\sigma=\frac {F}{A}$ where F is force and A is area and area is given by $\frac {\pi d^{2}}{4}$ hence

$\sigma=\frac {4F}{\pi d^{2}}$ where d is the diameter. Substituting 9970 N for F and 10mm=0.01 m for d hence

$\sigma=\frac {4*9970 N}{\pi 0.01m^{2}}=126941982.6 N/m^{2}$

$\sigma \approx 127 Mpa$

From the attached stress-strain diagram, the stress of 127 Mpa corresponds to strain of 0.0015 and since strain is given by

$\epsilon=\frac {\triangle l}{l}$ where $\epsilon$ is the strain, $\triangle l$ is elongation and l is original length and making elongation the subject

$\triangle l= \epsilon \times l$ and substituting strain with 0.0015 and length l with 100.6 mm then

$\triangle l=0.0015\times 100.6=0.1509 mm$

(b)

Lateral strain is given by

$\epsilon_{lat}=\frac {\triangle d}{d}$ and substituting $-v\epsilon$ for $\epsilon_{lat}$ where v is poisson ratio then

$-v\epsilon=\frac {\triangle d}{d}$ and making $\triangle d$ the subject then

$\triangle d=-vd\epsilon$ and substituting 0.35 for v, 0.0015 for strain and 10 mm for d

$\triangle d=-(0.35)*10*0.0015=-0.00525 mm$ and the negative sign indicates decrease in diameter

Answer: Ice melt is generally applied in advance of snow and ice or applied on top of the already formed ice and snow. Ice melt or deicer lowers the freezing point of water, preventing the buildup of ice or breaking up pre-formed ice into liquid slush. This layer absorbs some of the heat from the air and has a slight insulating effect on the remaining ice. When you melt an ice cube in a cup of water, it's exposed to both air and water. The part of the ice cube in the water melts faster than the ice in the air, but as the ice cube melts, it sinks further down. When ice or any other solid melts, its potential energy increases. Indeed, this is the only increase in energy, since the thermal kinetic energy, or temperature, does not increase while melting. At each phase change of water, whether ice to liquid water or liquid water to water vapor, the potential energy decreases.As glaciers melt, they add nutrients to the ocean and fertilize the local ecosystem. In Greenland and Antarctica, the ocean is short on iron, so melting glaciers make up for the lack of iron. Photosynthesizing phytoplankton are the base of the food web in the ocean and require lots of light and nutrients to grow.A
