Which regulations are related to guard rail height and dimensions and uniformity of stairs?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

C.

structural safety

Explanation:

Guards protecting floor surfaces must be 36 inches in height, while guards for stairs must be 34 inches in height measured vertically from the tread nosing. A guard may also serve as the required handrail (34 to 38 inches high) provided the top rail meets the requirements for grip size.

If the price of the car is less than or equal to your available cash, display "no". If the price of the car is more than your av
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

function decision(car_price, available_cash) {

   if(car_price <= available_cash) {

   console.log("no");

   }

   else  {

   console.log("yes");

   }

   }

decision(car_price, available_cash); or decision(available_cash, car_price);

Explanation:

using functions in Javascript:

functions; this refers to dividing codes into reusable parts.

e.g function function_name() {

console.log("How are you?");

}

you can call or invoke this function by using its name followed by parenthesis, like this: function_name(). each time the function is called it will   print out "How are you?".

Parameters: these are variables that act as placeholders for the values that are to be input into a function when it is called

Arguments: The actual values that input or passed into a function when it is called.

e.g

function function_name(parameter1, parameter2) {

console.log(parameter1, parameter2);

}

then we call function_name: function_name("please", "leave"):we have passed two arguments, "please"  and "leave". Inside the function parameter1 equals "please" while parameter2 equals "leave".

Hence, from the question given the two parameters "car_price" and "available_cash" respectively, we write the function with name function_name:

function decision(car_price, available_cash) {

   if(car_price <= available_cash) {

   console.log("no");

   }

   else  {

   console.log("yes");

   }

   }

decision(car_price, available_cash); or decision(available_cash, car_price);

A counter-flow double-piped heat exchange is to heat water from 20oC to 80oC at a rate of 1.2 kg/s. The heating is to be accompl
lawyer [7]

Answer:

110 m or 11,000 cm

Explanation:

  • let mass flow rate for cold and hot fluid = M<em>c</em> and M<em>h</em> respectively
  • let specific heat for cold and hot fluid = C<em>pc</em> and C<em>ph </em>respectively
  • let heat capacity rate for cold and hot fluid = C<em>c</em> and C<em>h </em>respectively

M<em>c</em> = 1.2 kg/s and M<em>h = </em>2 kg/s

C<em>pc</em> = 4.18 kj/kg °c and C<em>ph</em> = 4.31 kj/kg °c

<u>Using effectiveness-NUT method</u>

  1. <em>First, we need to determine heat capacity rate for cold and hot fluid, and determine the dimensionless heat capacity rate</em>

C<em>c</em> = M<em>c</em> × C<em>pc</em> = 1.2 kg/s  × 4.18 kj/kg °c = 5.016 kW/°c

C<em>h = </em>M<em>h</em> × C<em>ph </em>= 2 kg/s  × 4.31 kj/kg °c = 8.62 kW/°c

From the result above cold fluid heat capacity rate is smaller

Dimensionless heat capacity rate, C = minimum capacity/maximum capacity

C= C<em>min</em>/C<em>max</em>

C = 5.016/8.62 = 0.582

          .<em>2 Second, we determine the maximum heat transfer rate, Qmax</em>

Q<em>max</em> = C<em>min </em>(Inlet Temp. of hot fluid - Inlet Temp. of cold fluid)

Q<em>max</em> = (5.016 kW/°c)(160 - 20) °c

Q<em>max</em> = (5.016 kW/°c)(140) °c = 702.24 kW

          .<em>3 Third, we determine the actual heat transfer rate, Q</em>

Q = C<em>min (</em>outlet Temp. of cold fluid - inlet Temp. of cold fluid)

Q = (5.016 kW/°c)(80 - 20) °c

Q<em>max</em> = (5.016 kW/°c)(60) °c = 303.66 kW

            .<em>4 Fourth, we determine Effectiveness of the heat exchanger, </em>ε

ε<em> </em>= Q/Qmax

ε <em>= </em>303.66 kW/702.24 kW

ε = 0.432

           .<em>5 Fifth, using appropriate  effective relation for double pipe counter flow to determine NTU for the heat exchanger</em>

NTU = \\ \frac{1}{C-1} ln(\frac{ε-1}{εc -1} )

NTU = \frac{1}{0.582-1} ln(\frac{0.432 -1}{0.432 X 0.582   -1} )

NTU = 0.661

          <em>.6 sixth, we determine Heat Exchanger surface area, As</em>

From the question, the overall heat transfer coefficient U = 640 W/m²

As = \frac{NTU C{min} }{U}

As = \frac{0.661 x 5016 W. °c }{640 W/m²}

As = 5.18 m²

            <em>.7 Finally, we determine the length of the heat exchanger, L</em>

L = \frac{As}{\pi D}

L = \frac{5.18 m² }{\pi (0.015 m)}

L= 109.91 m

L ≅ 110 m = 11,000 cm
