Answer;

B.focus

The point beneath the surface where rock breaks and an earthquake is produced is known as the focus.

Explanation;

When an earthquake occurs an area of the crust will move very suddenly and with a great release of energy. The point of the actual rock rupture is called the focus . The focus is usually found far beneath the surface. The point directly above the focus on the surface of the Earth is called the epicenter.

When the rocks move suddenly they will produce waves in the Earth's crust. These waves move out in all directions and can produce widespread damage on the Earth's surface.

Answer:

The amplitude of the eardrum's oscillation is 6.65×10^-13 m.

Explanation:

Given data:

The sound has a frequency of 262 Hz

The sound level is 84 dB

The air density is 1.21 kg/m^3

The speed of sound is 346 m/s

Solution:

As, Intensity of sound is given by,

I = Io×10^(s/10 db)

I = 2×π^2×ρ×v×f^2×Sm^2

Thus,

Sm = √(Io×10^(s/10 db)) / √( 2×π^2×ρ×v×f^2)

Now, put the values,

Sm = √( 10^-12 × 10^(84/10) ) / √( 2×(3.14)^2×1.21×346×(262)^2 )

Sm = √(2.51×10^-4 / 5.66×10^8)

Sm = √0.443×10^-12

Sm = 6.65×10^-13 m.

Air is compressed from 14.7 psia and 60°F to a pressure of 150 psia while being cooled at a rate of 10 Btu/lbm by circulating wa

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

A. 6.36 lbm/s

b. $T_2=341\textdegree F$

Explanation:

a. Given the following information;

#Compressor inlet:

Air pressure, $P_1=14.7psia,T_1=60\textdegree F$

#Compressor outlet:

$Air \ Pressure, P_2=150psia\\\\Air \ volume \ flow \ rate, \dot V_1=5000ft^3/min$

#Cooling rate,

$q_{out}=10Btu/lbm, \dot W=700hp$

# From table A-1E

Gas constant of air $R=0.3704\ psia.ft^3/lbm.R$

Specific enthalpy at $P_1=520R-h_1=124.27Btu/lbm$

Using the mass balance:

$\dot m_{in}-\dot m_{out}=\bigtriangleup \dot m_{sys}=0.0\\\\\dot m_{in}=\dot m_{out}\\\\v_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}\\\\v_1=\frac{0.3704\times520}{14.7}\\\\\\v_1=13.1026ft^3/lbm\\\\\dot m=\frac{5000/60}{13.1025}\\\\\dot m=6.36\ lbm/s$

Hence, the mass flow rate of the air is 6.36lbm/s

b The specific enthalpy at the exit is defined as the energy balance on the system:

$\dot m_{in}-\dot m_{out}=\bigtriangleup \dot m_{sys}=0.0\\\\\dot m_{in}=\dot m_{out}\\\\\dot W_{in}+ \dot mh_1=\dot Q_{out}+\dot m_2\\\\h_2=\frac{\dot W_{in}-\dot Q_{out}}{\dot m}+h_1\\\\h_2=\frac{700\times 0.7068-10\times 6.36}{6.36}+124.27\\\\h_2=192.06\ Btu/lbm\\\\#at \ h_2=182.06Btu/lbm, T_2=801R=341\textdegree F$

Hence, the temperature at the compressor exit $T_2=341\textdegree F$
