Why are bathroom tiles usually rough

1 answer:

8 0

-- Bathroom tiles are usually cool, so water condenses on them
when you take a hot bath or shower in the room.

-- The natural result is that a smooth tile would become slippery,
exactly when you're walking around with wet feet and nothing on them ...
a dangerous situation.

-- In order to circumvent this safety hazard, the tiles in the bathroom
should be rough, especially on the floor.

Hybrid

Hybrid modified the concept by adding an internal combustion engine and marketing hybrids that were part electric and part gas powered.

The driving wheels of hybrid vehicles receive power from their drivetrains.
A hybrid car has numerous sources of propulsion.
There are numerous hybrid configurations.
A hybrid vehicle might, for instance, get its energy from burning gasoline while alternating between an electric motor and a combustion engine.
Although they have primarily been employed for rail locomotives, electrical vehicles have a long history of integrating internal combustion and electrical transmission, like in a diesel-electric power-train.
Because the electric drive transmission directly substitutes the mechanical gearbox rather than serving as an additional source of motive power, a diesel-electric powertrain does not meet the definition of a hybrid.
Only the electric/ICE hybrid car type was readily accessible on the market as of 2017.
One type used parallel operation to power both motors at the same time.
Another ran in series, using one source to supply power solely and the other to supply electricity.
Either source may act as the main driving force, with the other source serving to strengthen the main.

What change in entropy occurs when a 0.15 kg ice cube at -18 °C is transformed into steam at 120 °c 4.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: The change in entropy of the given process is 1324.8 J/K

Explanation:

The processes involved in the given problem are:

$1.)H_2O(s)(-18^oC,255K)\rightarrow H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\\2.)H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\\3.)H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\\4.)H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\\5.)H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(120^oC,393K)$

Pressure is taken as constant.

To calculate the entropy change for same phase at different temperature, we use the equation:

$\Delta S=m\times C_{p,m}\times \ln (\frac{T_2}{T_1})$ .......(1)

where,

$\Delta S$ = Entropy change

$C_{p,m}$ = specific heat capacity of medium

m = mass of ice = 0.15 kg = 150 g (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

$T_2$ = final temperature

$T_1$ = initial temperature

To calculate the entropy change for different phase at same temperature, we use the equation:

$\Delta S=m\times \frac{\Delta H_{f,v}}{T}$ .......(2)

where,

$\Delta S$ = Entropy change

m = mass of ice

$\Delta H_{f,v}$ = enthalpy of fusion of vaporization

T = temperature of the system

Calculating the entropy change for each process:

For process 1:

We are given:

$m=150g\\C_{p,s}=2.06J/gK\\T_1=255K\\T_2=273K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta S_1=150g\times 2.06J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{273K}{255K})\\\\\Delta S_1=21.1J/K$

For process 2:

We are given:

$m=150g\\\Delta H_{fusion}=334.16J/g\\T=273K$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\Delta S_2=\frac{150g\times 334.16J/g}{273K}\\\\\Delta S_2=183.6J/K$

For process 3:

We are given:

$m=150g\\C_{p,l}=4.184J/gK\\T_1=273K\\T_2=373K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta S_3=150g\times 4.184J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{373K}{273K})\\\\\Delta S_3=195.9J/K$

For process 4:

We are given:

$m=150g\\\Delta H_{vaporization}=2259J/g\\T=373K$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\Delta S_2=\frac{150g\times 2259J/g}{373K}\\\\\Delta S_2=908.4J/K$

For process 5:

We are given:

$m=150g\\C_{p,g}=2.02J/gK\\T_1=373K\\T_2=393K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta S_5=150g\times 2.02J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{393K}{373K})\\\\\Delta S_5=15.8J/K$

Total entropy change for the process = $\Delta S_1+\Delta S_2+\Delta S_3+\Delta S_4+\Delta S_5$

Total entropy change for the process = $[21.1+183.6+195.9+908.4+15.8]J/K=1324.8J/K$

Hence, the change in entropy of the given process is 1324.8 J/K

A 320 g air track cart traveling at 1.25 m/s collides with a stationary 270 g cart. What is the speed of the 270 g cart after th

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The speed of the 270g cart after the collision is 0.68m/s

Explanation:

Mass of air track cart (m1) = 320g

Initial velocity (u1) = 1.25m/s

Mass of stationary cart (m2) = 270g

Velocity after collision (V) = m1u1/(m1+m2) = 320×1.25/(320+270) = 400/590 = 0.68m/s
