Answer and Explanation:

The increase in entropy principle is defined as the process in which the total change in entropy of system with its adiabatic surroundings is always positive or equal to zero. The increase in entropy mostly takes place when a solid becomes liquid because randomness is increases when solid becomes liquid so entropy is also increases.

example of increase of entropy is when solid burns and become ash, ice melting

Determine the pressure difference in N/m2,between two points 800m apart in horizontal pipe-line,150 mm diameter, discharging wat

zlopas [31]

Answer: $10.631\times 10^3\ N/m^2$

Explanation:

Given

Discharge is $Q=12.5\ L$

Diameter of pipe $d=150\ mm$

Distance between two ends of pipe $L=800\ m$

friction factor $f=0.008$

Average velocity is given by

$\Rightarrow v_{avg}=\dfrac{12.5\times 10^{-3}}{\frac{\pi }{4}(0.15)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow v_{avg}=\dfrac{15.9134\times 10^{-3}}{2.25\times 10^{-2}}\\\\\Rightarrow v_{avg}=7.07\times 10^{-1}\\\Rightarrow v_{avg}=0.707\ m/s$

Pressure difference is given by

$\Rightarrow \Delta P=f\ \dfrac{L}{d}\dfrac{\rho v_{avg}^2}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=0.008\times \dfrac{800}{0.15}\times \dfrac{997\times (0.707)^2}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=10,631.45\ N/m^2\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=10.631\ kPa$

The insulation resistance of a motor operated by an electronic drive is to be tested using a megger. What precaution should you

EleoNora [17]

Use protective gear. Use insulated tools, Wear flame resistant clothing, safety glasses, and insulation gloves, Remove watches or other jewelry, Stand on an insulation mat. 03. Never connect the insulation tester to energized conductors or energized equipment and always follow the manufacturer's recommendations. When installing new electrical machinery or equipment, testing insulation resistance is important for two reasons. First, it ensures that the insulation is in adequate condition to begin operation. ... The test is accomplished by applying DC voltage through the de-energized circuit using an insulation tester. Insulation resistance should be approximately one megohm for each 1,000 volts of operating voltage, with a minimum value of one megohm. For example, a motor rated at 2,400 volts should have a minimum insulation resistance of 2.4 megohms.

A circular column is fixed at the base and not supported at the top. If the column needs to be 15ft and hold 10kips, what is the

muminat

Answer:

The required size of column is length = 15 ft and diameter = 4.04 inches

Explanation:

Given;

Length of the column, L = 15 ft

Applied load, P = 10 kips = 10 × 10³ Psi

End condition as fixed at the base and free at the top

thus,

Effective length of the column, $\L_e$ = 2L = 30 ft = 360 inches

now, for aluminium

Elastic modulus, E = 1.0 × 10⁷ Psi

Now, from the Euler's critical load, we have

$P =\frac{\pi^2EI}{L_e^2}$

where, I is the moment of inertia

on substituting the respective values, we get

$10\times10^3 =\frac{\pi^2\times1.0\times10^7\times I}{360^2}$

I = 13.13 in⁴

also for circular cross-section

I = $\frac{\pi}{64}\times d^4$

thus,

13.13 = $\frac{\pi}{64}\times d^4$

d = 4.04 inches

The required size of column is length = 15 ft and diameter = 4.04 inches
