Which device may be used to throttle and vaporize liquid refrigerant before it enters the compressor?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: An expansion valve.

Explanation:
The expansion valve is a copper tubing that contains a small orifice. The orifice restricts the flow of the refrigerant and makes it undergo a severe drop in pressure and temperature when it exits the orifice.
The temperature drop provides the cooling required in the cooling coils of the refrigerator.

A force of 200 N stretches a spring 30 cm. What is the spring constant of the spring? How far would this spring stretch with a f

bija089 [108]

Hooke's Law

F = k. Δx

Δx = 30 cm = 0.3 m

200 = k . 0.3

$\tt k =\dfrac{200}{0.3}= 666.6$

the spring stretch for 100 N:

$\tt \Delta x=\dfrac{100}{666.6}=0.15=15\:cm$

Two circles are drawn in a 12-inch by 14-inch rectangle. Each circle has a diameter of 6 inches. If the circles do not extend be

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

d = 10 inch

Explanation:

The farthest distance between the centers, is along the diagonal of the rectangle. Therefore, we need to calculate the diagonal of the rectangle, but counting the fact that we have both circles.

So if, one side is 12 inch, and the other is 14 inch, we can use the Pitagoras theorem which is:

d = √(a²) + (b)²

Where a and b, are the lenght of the rectangle, but without the lenght of the diameter of both circles.

With this, the expression is this:

d = √(14 - 6)² + (12 - 6)²

d = √64+36

d = √100

d = 10 inches

how can there be so many different substances in the world if there are only a few elements that are common?

LuckyWell [14K]

-- If there are only 10 elements in the universe that can make compound molecules, and a compound molecule can be formed by combining 1, 2, 3, or 4 different elements, then that's already the possibility of at least 400 different molecules.

-- There are many more than 10 elements that can combine to form compound molecules.

-- Every single "organic" molecule, of which there are thousands, is the combination of carbon with other elements.

-- Most all of the substances that can be distilled out of oil, including the paraffin waxes, the alcohols, gasoline, kerosene, butane, propane, octane, and natural gas, are made of just carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, only with different numbers of each one.

-- Plastics, drugs, rubber, and DNA are examples of molecules that are made of hundreds of atoms.

A coil is connected in series with a 12.6 kΩ resistor. An ideal 65.2 V battery is applied across the two devices, and the curren

ivolga24 [154]

To solve the problem, start by applying the concepts related to current in an RL circuit. The current is defined exponentially and using Ohm's law we can put the initial current in terms of the voltage and resistance. Consecutively with the calculated time constant we can find the respective inductance. For the second part we will apply the electrical potential energy connectors to find the amount of stored energy.
