Explanation:

McLeod gauge:

It is used to measure very low pressure of gas.It measure gas pressure by the help of mercury(Hg).it measure absolute pressure of gas.

McLeod gauge on the principle of Boyle's law.Boyle's law state that ,at constant temperature the pressure of gas is directly proportional to its volume.From Boyle's law

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

A sample of gas is taken from vacuum then its pressure is measured by help Hg.

To provide some perspective on the dimensions of atomic defects, consider a metal specimen that has a dislocation density of 105

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

$62.14\ \text{miles}$

$6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

Explanation:

The distance of the chain would be the product of the dislocation density and the volume of the metal.

Dislocation density = $10^5\ \text{mm}^{-2}$

Volume of the metal = $1000\ \text{mm}^3$

$10^5\times 1000=10^8\ \text{mm}\\ =10^5\ \text{m}$

$1\ \text{mile}=1609.34\ \text{m}$

$\dfrac{10^5}{1609.34}=62.14\ \text{miles}$

The chain would extend $62.14\ \text{miles}$

Dislocation density = $10^{10}\ \text{mm}^{-2}$

Volume of the metal = $1000\ \text{mm}^3$

$10^{10}\times 1000=10^{13}\ \text{mm}\\ =10^{10}\ \text{m}$

$\dfrac{10^{10}}{1609.34}=6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

The chain would extend $6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

Air expands through a turbine operating at steady state. At the inlet p1 = 150 lbf/in^2, T1 = 1400R and at the exit p2 = 14.8 lb

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The power developed in HP is 2702.7hp

Explanation:

Given details.

P1 = 150 lbf/in^2,

T1 = 1400°R

P2 = 14.8 lbf/in^2,

T2 = 700°R

Mass flow rate m1 = m2 = m = 11 lb/s Q = -65000 Btu/h

Using air table to obtain the values for h1 and h2 at T1 and T2

h1 at T1 = 1400°R = 342.9 Btu/h

h2 at T2 = 700°R = 167.6 Btu/h

Using;

Q - W + m(h1) - m(h2) = 0

W = Q - m (h2 -h1)

W = (-65000 Btu/h ) - 11 lb/s (167.6 - 342.9) Btu/h

W = (-65000 Btu/h ) - (-1928.3) Btu/s

W = (-65000 Btu/h ) * {1hr/(60*60)s} - (-1928.3) Btu/s

W = -18.06Btu/s + 1928.3 Btu/s

W = 1910.24Btu/s

Note; Btu/s = 1.4148532hp

W = 2702.7hp
