4 0

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.

Answer:

d) Binary

Explanation:

Binary search is a search algorithm that finds the position of a value in an ordered array. It compares the value with the element in the middle of the array, if they are not equal, half in which the value cannot be eliminated and the search continues in the remaining half until the value is found.

Can a 1½ " conduit, with a total area of 2.04 square inches, be filled with wires that total 0.93 square inches if the maximum f

Papessa [141]

Answer:

it is not possible to place the wires in the condui

Explanation:

given data

total area = 2.04 square inches

wires total area = 0.93 square inches

maximum fill conduit = 40%

to find out

Can it is possible place wire in conduit conduit

solution

we know maximum fill is 40%

so here first we get total area of conduit that will be

total area of conduit = 40% × 2.04

total area of conduit = 0.816 square inches

but this area is less than required area of wire that is 0.93 square inches

so we can say it is not possible to place the wires in the conduit

Water at atmospheric pressure boils on the surface of a large horizontal copper tube. The heat flux is 90% of the critical value

masya89 [10]

Answer:

The tube surface temperature immediately after installation is 120.4°C and after prolonged service is 110.8°C

Explanation:

The properties of water at 100°C and 1 atm are:

pL = 957.9 kg/m³

pV = 0.596 kg/m³

ΔHL = 2257 kJ/kg

CpL = 4.217 kJ/kg K

uL = 279x10⁻⁶Ns/m²

KL = 0.68 W/m K

σ = 58.9x10³N/m

When the water boils on the surface its heat flux is:

$q=0.149h_{fg} \rho _{v} (\frac{\sigma (\rho _{L}-\rho _{v})}{\rho _{v}^{2} } )^{1/4} =0.149*2257*0.596*(\frac{58.9x10^{-3}*(957.9-0.596) }{0.596^{2} } )^{1/4} =18703.42W/m^{2}$

For copper-water, the properties are:

Cfg = 0.0128

The heat flux is:

qn = 0.9 * 18703.42 = 16833.078 W/m²

$q_{n} =uK(\frac{g(\rho_{L}-\rho _{v}) }{\sigma })^{1/2} (\frac{c_{pL}*deltaT }{c_{fg}h_{fg}Pr } \\16833.078=279x10^{-6} *2257x10^{3} (\frac{9.8*(957.9-0.596)}{0.596} )^{1/2} *(\frac{4.127x10^{3}*delta-T }{0.0128*2257x10^{3}*1.76 } )^{3} \\delta-T=20.4$

The tube surface temperature immediately after installation is:

Tinst = 100 + 20.4 = 120.4°C

For rough surfaces, Cfg = 0.0068. Using the same equation:

ΔT = 10.8°C

The tube surface temperature after prolonged service is:

Tprolo = 100 + 10.8 = 110.8°C
