Why is the process for making flat glass called the float process?

Engineering
1 answer:
mario62 [17]2 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Step1

Float glass is the process of glass manufacturing on the flat surface of metal like tin. In this method molten glass is allowed to float on the surface of metal.

Step2

Float glass gives the uniform and flat surface of glass product. The thickness of the glass produced is uniform throughout. This process of glass making is very cheap and has negligible distortion. Flat glass process is called the float process because of producing high quality flat surface.

A pressure gage at the inlet to a gas compressor indicates that the gage pressure is 40.0 kPa. Atmospheric pressure is 1.01 bar.
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Given

inlet Pga =40kpa = 40000pa

Patm=1.01bar = 1.01 x 100000pa =101000pa

exit Pab= 6.5 (inlet Pab)

But generally, Pab = Patm + Pga

1. the absolute pressure of the gas at the inlet, inlet Pab?

inlet Pab = Patm + inlet Pga

            = 101000pa + 40000pa = 141kpa

the absolute pressure of the gas at the inlet, inlet Pab = 141kpa

2. the gage pressure of the gas at the exit? exit Pga?

exit Pab = Patm + exit Pga

exit Pga = exit Pab - Patm

             = (6.5 x 141kpa) - 101kpa

              = 815.5kpa

the gage pressure of the gas at the exit exit Pga=815.5kpa

Would be much appreciated if someone could help with this will give brainiest.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:   both mm and inches on each dimension in a sketch (with the main dimension in one format and the other in brackets below it), in the way you can have dual dimensions shown when detailing an idw view.

personally think it would look a mess/cluttered with even more text all over the sketch environment, but everyone's differenent.

If it's any help - you know you can enter dimensions in either format?  If you're working in mm you can still dimension a line and type "2in" and vice-versa.  Probably know this already, but no harm saying it, just in case.

You can enter the units directly in or mm and Inventor will convert to current document settings (which  you can change - maybe someone can come up with a simple toggle icon to toggle the document settings).  Tools>Document Settings>Units

Unlike SolidWorks when you edit the dimension the original entry shows in the dialog box so it makes it easy to keep track of different units even if they aren't always displayed.  (SWx does the conversion or equation and then that is what you get.)

I work quite a bit in inch and metric and combination (ex metric frame motor on inch machine) and it doesn't seem to be a real difficulty to me.
