A group of scientists studied the environmental impact of internal combustion engines burning hydrocarbon fuels. The scientist e

quipped four vehicles with devices to capture and measure particulate emissions. One vehicle burned diesel fuel, one burned ordinary gasoline, one burned a gasoline/ethanol mixture and one burned natural gas. The four vehicles have equal masses and carried identical cargo. The scientists drove each vehicle 400 km, recording the volume of fuel burns in the quantity of particulate emissions generated. What is the independent variable in this experiment?

Answer: Combustion of Hydrocarbons

Explanation:

The Independent variable in an experiment is the one whose effect on the dependent variable is being measured. The independent variable therefore is controlled to see the effect it will have in the experiment.

In this experiment, the scientists combusted different types of hydrocarbons (diesel, gasoline, natural gas and a gasoline/ethanol mixture) as they aimed to find out the effect that this burning would have on the environment thereby making the combustion of hydrocarbons the independent variable.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

T  = 20.42 N

Explanation:

given data

standard altitude = 30,000 ft

velocity Ca = 500 mph = 0.4 m/s

inlet areas Aa = 7 ft² = 0.65 m²

exit areas Aj = 4.5 ft²  =  0.42 m²

velocity at exit Cj = 1600 ft/s = 487.68 m/s

pressure exit \rhoj = 640 lb/ft²   = 0.3 bar

solution

we get here thrust of the turbojet that is  express as

thrust of the turbojet T = Mg × Cj - Ma × Ca + ( \rhoj Aj - \rhoa Ag )   .............1

here Ma = Mg

Ma = \rhoa × Ca Aa = 0.042 kg/s

put value in equation 1 we get

T = 0.042 × (487.68 -0.14) + ( 0.3 ×  - 0.3 × 0.65 )  

T  = 20.42 N

Answer:

A Only

Explanation:

Reinforcements, as the name suggests, are used to enhance the mechanical properties of a plastic. Finely divided silica, carbon black, talc, mica, and calcium carbonate, as well as short fibres of a variety of materials, can be incorporated as particulate fillers.

Consider the control volume form of the basic laws. For the conservation of mass form for a control volume with mass flow into a
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

C) Dependent on the mass flows in and out.

Explanation:

Lets take control volume(CV)

Take

          m_i =inlet mass flow rate

          m_e =exit mass flow rate

If we take unsteady flow process then inlet mass can not be equal to exit mass.Some mass can store if inlet mass flow rate is high and exit mass flow rate  is low.

So mass of control volume

    m_{cv}=m_i-m_e.

so above we can say that mass of control volume dependent on inlet and exit mass.
