Answer:

A generator

Explanation:

A generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Mostly they are used a power sources for other machines. There are various sources of mechanical energy that can be used to spin the wire coils in a magnetic field in a generator depending on the type of power plant. The wire coils have to be spined so as to induce electric potentials in the coil. it works on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Both

Explanation:

Because of water, fuel does not burn completely. This brings about water fumes that are white in color and looks like white smoke. If engine is cold and water is heating, it leads to steam formation like water vapor. The white times are because of not firing properly in the heated engine. Technician A is right.

Blue fine is caused by this scoring. It is also caused by dirty oil. Technician b is right too

What will happen in a wire drawing operation when the cross-sectional area has a reduction of 60% in a single pass?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

DRAWING LOAD IS  3.67 A_{O}\sigma

Explanation:

wire drawing is a method of obtaining wire of bigger large diameter from iron rod . it is cold process which need die to obtain wire

drawing load for wire drawing is given as P = A_{F}*\sigma*ln(\frac{A_{O}}{A_{F}})

Where A f is initial area, Ao is original area, σ is yield stress

as given in question sectional area reduce 60%, therefore

A_{f} = A_{O}- 0.6A_{O}

    = 0.4 A_{O}

Due to change in area ,drawing load p is

p = 0.4A_{O}*\sigma*ln(\frac{A_{O}}{0.4A_{O}})

p = 3.67 A_{O}\sigma

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The model system will need water flowing at a velocity of 2.07 meters per second to guarantee kinematic similarity in the form of equal Reynolds numbers.

Explanation:

The Reynolds number (Re_{D}) is a dimensionless criterion use for flow regime of fluids, which is defined as:

Re_{D} = \frac{\rho \cdot v\cdot D}{\mu} (Eq. 1)

Where:

\rho - Density, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

\mu - Dynamic viscosity, measured in kilograms per meter-second.

v - Average flow velocity, measured in meters per second.

D - Pipe diameter, measured in meters.

We need to find the equivalent velocity of water used in the prototype system. In this case, we assume that Re_{D,gas} = Re_{D,w}. That is:

\frac{\rho_{w}\cdot v_{w}\cdot D_{w}}{\mu_{w}} = \frac{\rho_{gas}\cdot v_{gas}\cdot D_{gas}}{\mu_{gas}} (Eq. 2)

Where subindex w is used for water and gas for gasoline.

If we know that \rho_{gas} = 690\,\frac{kg}{m^{2}}, \mu_{gas} = 0.006\,\frac{kg}{m\cdot s}, v_{gas} = 0.5\,\frac{m}{s}, D_{gas} = 1\,m, \rho_{w} = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, \mu_{w} = 0.0018\,\frac{kg}{m\cdot s} and D_{w} = 0.05\,m, then we get the following formula:

57500 = 27777.778\cdot v_{w}

The fluid velocity for the prototype system is:

v_{w} = 2.07\,\frac{m}{y}

The model system will need water flowing at a velocity of 2.07 meters per second to guarantee kinematic similarity in the form of equal Reynolds numbers.
