Answer:

49.484 m³ / s

Explanation:

Volume flow rate = Power in W / (efficiency × density × height × acceleration due to gravity)

Volume flow rate = 100 × 10⁶ / ( 1 × 1000 kg/m³ × 206 m × 9.81 m/s²)

V = 49.484 m³ / s

Answer:

m' = 4948.38 kg/s

Explanation:

For a case of 100% efficiency, the power produced must be equal to the rate of potential energy conversion

GIVEN THAT

Power = 100 MW

rate of Potential energy = (m')*g*h

100*10^6 = (m')*9.81*206

m' = 4948.38 kg/s

Burn rate can be affected by: A. Variations in chamber pressure B. Variations in initial grain temperature C. Gas flow velocity
Digiron [165]

Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

Burn rate can be affected by all of the above reasons as, variation in chamber pressure because the pressure are dependence on the burn rate and temperature variation in initial gain can affect the rate of the chemical reactions and initial gain in the temperature increased the burning rate. As, gas flow velocity also influenced to increasing the burn rate as it flowing parallel to the surface burning. Burn rate is also known as erosive burning because of the variation in flow velocity and chamber pressure.

B)<br>State the essential difference between a plain carbon steel<br>and an alloy steel​
choli [55]

Answer:

Plain carbon steel has no or trace external elements while alloy steel has high amount of other elements.

Explanation:

Plain carbon steel has no or trace amount of other elements while alloy steel has high amount of other elements in their composition.

The presence of other elements in alloy steel improvise several physical properties of the steel while plain carbon steel has the basic properties.

La probabilidad de que un nuevo producto tenga éxito es de 0.85. Si se eligen 10 personas al azar y se les pregunta si compraría
liq [111]

Answer:

La probabilidad pedida es 0.820196

Explanation:

Sabemos que la probabilidad de que un nuevo producto tenga éxito es de 0.85. Sabemos también que se eligen 10 personas al azar y se les pregunta si comprarían el nuevo producto. Para responder a la pregunta, primero definiremos la siguiente variable aleatoria :

X: '' Número de personas que adquirirán el nuevo producto de 10 personas a las que se les preguntó ''

Ahora bien, si suponemos que la probabilidad de que el nuevo producto tenga éxito se mantiene constante (p=0.85) y además suponemos que hay independencia entre cada una de las personas al azar a las que se les preguntó ⇒ Podemos modelar a X como una variable aleatoria Binomial. Esto se escribe :

X ~ Bi(n,p) en donde ''n'' es el número de personas entrevistadas y ''p'' es la probabilidad de éxito (una persona adquiriendo el producto) en cada caso.

Utilizando los datos ⇒ X ~ Bi(10,0.85)

La función de probabilidad de la variable aleatoria binomial es :

p_{X}(x)=P(X=x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n&x\end{array}\right)p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}    con x=0,1,2,...,n

Si reemplazamos los datos de la pregunta en la función de probabilidad obtenemos :

P(X=x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}10&x\end{array}\right)(0.85)^{x}(0.15)^{10-x} con x=0,1,2,...,10

Nos piden la probabilidad de que por lo menos 8 personas adquieran el nuevo producto, esto es :

P(X\geq 8)=P(X=8)+P(X=9)+P(X=10)

Calculando P(X=8), P(X=9) y P(X=10) por separado y sumando, obtenemos que P(X\geq 8)=0.820196

Tech A says that horsepower is a measurement simply of the amount of work being performed. Tech B says that horsepower can be ca
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Tech B

Explanation:

Horsepower (hp) refers to a unit of measurement of power in respect of the output of engines or motors.

Horsepower is the common unit of power. It indicates the rate at which work is done.

The formula \frac{rpm*T}{5252}, where rpm is the engine speed, T is the torque, and 5,252 is radians per second.

So,

Tech B is correct
