Answer

given,

oil barrel weight = 1.5 k N = 1500 N

weight of the barrel = 110 N

Assuming volume of barrel = 0.159 m³

weight of oil = 1500-110

= 1390 N

$specific\ weight = \dfrac{weight}{volume}$

$specific\ weight = \dfrac{1390}{0.159}$

= 8742.14 N/m³

$mass = \dfrac{weight}{g}$

$mass = \dfrac{1390}{9.8}$

= 141.84 kg

$density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}$

$density = \dfrac{141.84}{0.159}$

= 892.05 kg/m³

$Specific\ gravity = \dfrac{density\ of\ oil}{density\ of\ water}$

$Specific\ gravity = \dfrac{892.05}{1000}$

= 0.892

What can your employer do to protect you from overhead power lines?

agasfer [191]

Answer:

Have the power company install insulated sleeves (also known as “eels”) over power lines.

Wearing PPE is the only way to prevent being electrocuted

Explanation:

To prevent electrocution at workplace, employers can ensure that the power company install insulated sleeves (also known as “eels”) over power lines. Additionally, the employees should wear PPEs which are insulators to prevent electrocution.

Wet steam at 15 bar is throttled adiabatically in a steady-flow process to 2 bar. The resulting stream has a temperature of 130°

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

$\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

Explanation:

The adiabatic throttling process is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$m\cdot (h_{in} - h_{out}) = 0$

$h_{in} = h_{out}$

Properties of water at inlet and outlet are obtained from steam tables:

State 1 - Inlet (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 1500\,kPa$

$T = 198.29\,^{\textdegree}C$

$h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 6.3068\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

$x = 0.967$

State 2 - Outlet (Superheated Vapor)

$P = 200\,kPa$

$T = 130\,^{\textdegree}C$

$h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

The change of entropy of the steam is derived of the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

$\Delta s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} - 6.3068\, \frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

$\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

Air at atmospheric pressure and at 300K flows with a velocity of 1.5m/s over a flat plate. The transition from laminar to turbul

Savatey [412]

Answer:3.47 m

Explanation:

Given

Temperature(T)=300 K

velocity(v)=1.5 m/s

At 300 K

$\mu =1.846 \times 10^{-5} Pa-s$

$\rho =1.77 kg/m^3$

And reynold's number is given by

$Re.=\frac{\rho v\time x}{\mu }$

$5\times 10^5=\frac{1.77\times 1.5\times x}{1.846\times 10^{-5}}$

$x=\frac{5\times 10^5\times 1.846\times 10^{-5}}{1.77\times 1.5}$

x=3.47 m

Why is the reflection step in the engineering process the most important step?

Monica [59]

Reflection helps designers to learn from their experiences, to integrate and co-ordinate different aspects of a design situation, to judge the progress of the design process, to evaluate interactions with the design context, and to plan suitable future design activities.
