Answer:

u_e = 9.3 * 10^-8 J / m^3  ( 2 sig. fig)

Explanation:

Given:

- Electric Field strength near earth's surface E = 145 V / m

- permittivity of free space (electric constant) e_o =  8.854 *10^-12 s^4 A^2 / m^3 kg

Find:

- How much energy is stored per cubic meter in this field?

Solution:

- The solution requires the energy density stored between earth's surface and the source of electric field strength. The formula for charge density is given by:

                                        u_e = 0.5*e_o * E^2

- Plug in the values given:

                                        u_e = 0.5*8.854 *10^-12 *145^2

                                        u_e = 9.30777 * 10^-8  J/m^3

How would you expect an increase in the austenite grain size to affect the hardenability of a steel alloy? Why?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The hardenability increases with increasing austenite grain size, because the grain boundary area is decreasing. This means that the sites for the nucleation of ferrite and pearlite are being reduced in number, with the result that these transformations are slowed down, and the hardenability is therefore increased.

A large heat pump should upgrade 5 MW of heat at 85°C to be delivered as heat at 150°C. Suppose the actual heat pump has a COP o
AysviL [449]

Answer:

W=2 MW

Explanation:

Given that

COP= 2.5

Heat extracted from 85°C  

Qa= 5 MW

Lets heat supplied at 150°C   = Qr

The power input to heat pump = W

From first law of thermodynamics

Qr= Qa+ W

We know that COP of heat pump given as

COP=\dfrac{Qr}{W}

2.5=\dfrac{5}{W}

2.5=\dfrac{5}{W}

W=2 MW

For Carnot heat pump

COP=\dfrac{T_2}{T_2-T_1}

2.5=\dfrac{T_2}{T_2-(273+85)}

2.5 T₂ -  895= T₂

T₂=596.66 K

T₂=323.6 °C

Suppose the working pressure for a boiler is 10 psig, then what is the corresponding absolute pressure?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The corresponding absolute pressure of the boiler is 24.696 pounds per square inch.

Explanation:

From Fluid Mechanics, we remember that absolute pressure (p_{abs}), measured in pounds per square inch, is the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the working pressure (gauge pressure). That is:

p_{abs} = p_{atm}+p_{g} (1)

Where:

p_{atm} - Atmospheric pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.

p_{g} - Working pressured of the boiler (gauge pressure), measured in pounds per square inch.

If we suppose that p_{atm} = 14.696\,psi and p_{g} = 10\,psi, then the absolute pressure is:

p_{abs} = 14.696\,psi+10\,psi

p_{abs} = 24.696\,psi

The corresponding absolute pressure of the boiler is 24.696 pounds per square inch.

As a general rule of thumb, in-line engines are easier to work on than the other cylinder arrangements.
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The general rule of thumb is that the SMALLER a substance's atoms and the STRONGER the bonds, the harder the substance. Two of the strongest forms of chemical bonds are the ionic and covalent bonds.
