Answer:

Flow energy is defined as, flow energy is the energy needed to push fluids into control volume and it is the amount of work done required to push the entire fluid. It is also known as flow work. Flow energy is not the fundamental quantities like potential and kinetic energy.

Fluid at state of rest do not possess any flow energy. It is mostly converted into internal energy as, rising in the fluid temperature.

Write down one metal or alloy that is best suited for each of the following applications:

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Cast iron or Aluminium alloy are typically used. Aluminium is much lighter in weight and it can transfer heat better to the coolant. While Cast Iron is typically stronger and is thus still used by the manufacturers.

b. Copper can be used as a condensing heat exchanger for hot steam due to its optimal thermal properties and its ability to resist corrosion.

c. high-speed steel are perfect for producing drill bits because of its hardness and resistance to heat to an extent. Drill bits tend to produce heat as a result of the friction between it and the material to be drilled.

d. lead can be used as a container for strong acids because of its anti-corrosive properties

e.zinc and copper can be used as fuel in pyrotechnics mainly due to the fact that burn with refreshing colours. Aluminium can also be used.

f. Platinum is the metal that best suits this purpose because of its high melting point and resistivity to oxidation.

Twenty-five wooden beams were ordered or a construction project. The sample mean and he sample standard deviation were measured

aksik [14]

Answer:

Correct option: B. 90%

Explanation:

The confidence interval is given by:

$CI = [\bar{x} - z\sigma_{\bar{x}} , \bar{x}+z\sigma_{\bar{x}} ]$

If $\bar{x}$ is 190, we can find the value of $z\sigma_{\bar{x}}$ :

$\bar{x} - z\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 188.29$

$190 - z\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 188.29$

$z\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 1.71$

Now we need to find the value of $\sigma_{\bar{x}}$ :

$\sigma_{\bar{x}} = s / \sqrt{n}$

$\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 5/ \sqrt{25}$

$\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 1$

So the value of z is 1.71.

Looking at the z-table, the z value that gives a z-score of 1.71 is 0.0436

This value will occur in both sides of the normal curve, so the confidence level is:

$CI = 1 - 2*0.0436 = 0.9128 = 91.28\%$

The nearest CI in the options is 90%, so the correct option is B.

A transformer has 300,000 windings in its primary coil and uses 12,000V AC input. (4 points) How many windings would be needed t

viva [34]

Answer:

2750

Explanation:

The number of windings and the voltage are proportional.

Let n represent the number of windings to produce 110 Vac. Then the proportion is ...

n/110 = 300,000/12,000

n = 110(300/12) = 2750 . . . . multiply by 110

2750 windings would be needed to produce 110 Vac at the output.

If a signal is transmitted at a power of 250 mWatts (mW) and the noise in the channel is 10 uWatts (uW), if the signal BW is 20M

Bess [88]

Answer:

C = 292 Mbps

Explanation:

Given:

- Signal Transmitted Power P = 250mW

- The noise in channel N = 10 uW

- The signal bandwidth W = 20 MHz

Find:

what is the maximum capacity of the channel?

Solution:

-The capacity of the channel is given by Shannon's Formula:

C = W*log_2 ( 1 + P/N)

- Plug the values in:

C = (20*10^6)*log_2 ( 1 + 250*10^-3/10)

C = (20*10^6)*log_2 (25001)

C = (20*10^6)*14.6096

C = 292 Mbps

Harlin is designing a new car engine that does not create pollution. Which technological design factor is probably the most

kari74 [83]

Answer: environmental impact

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Harlin is designing a new car engine that does not create pollution.

The technological design factor which is probably the most important for the design is the impact on the environment.

Pollution has a negative effect on the environment a d doing this shows that emphasis is placed on how the environmental issue of pollution can be tackled.
