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

Engineering
1 answer:
mario62 [17]3 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.

Solar energy stored in large bodies of water, called solar ponds, is being used to generate electricity. If such a solar power p
fgiga [73]

Answer: 1.137*10^7 Btu/h.

Explanation:

Given data:

Efficiency of the plant = 4.5percent

Net power output of the plant = 150kw

Solution:

The required collection rate

QH = W/n

= 150/0.045 * 0.94782/ 1 /60 */60 Btu/h.

= 3333.333 *3412.152Btu/h.

= 11373840 Btu/h

= 1.137*10^7 Btu/h.

The fracture strength of glass may be increased by etching away a thin surface layer. It is believed that the etching may alter
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

the ratio of the etched to the original crack tip radius is 30.24

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we determine the initial fracture stress using the following expression;

(σf)₁ = 2(σ₀)₁ [ α₁/(p_t)₁ ]^{1/2 ----- let this be equation 1

where; (σ₀)₁ is the initial fracture strength

(p_t)₁ is the original crack tip radius

α₁ is the original crack length.

first, we determine the final crack length;

α₂ = α₁ - 16% of α₁

α₂ = α₁ - ( 0.16 × α₁)

α₂ = α₁ - 0.16α₁

α₂ = 0.84α₁

next, we calculate the final fracture stress;

the fracture strength is increased by a factor of 6;

(σ₀)₂ = 6( σ₀ )₁

Now, expression for the final fracture stress

(σf)₂ = 2(σ₀)₂ [ α₂/(p_t)₂ ]^{1/2 ------- let this be equation 2

where (p_t)₂ is the etched crack tip radius

value of fracture stress of glass is constant

Now, we substitute 2(σ₀)₁ [ α₁/(p_t)₁ ]^{1/2 from equation for (σf)₂  in equation 2.

0.84α₁ for α₂.

6( σ₀ )₁ for (σ₀)₂.

∴

2(σ₀)₁ [ α₁/(p_t)₁ ]^{1/2  = 2(6( σ₀ )₁) [ 0.84α₁/(p_t)₂ ]^{1/2  

divide both sides by 2(σ₀)₁

[ α₁/(p_t)₁ ]^{1/2  =  6 [ 0.84α₁/(p_t)₂ ]^{1/2

[ 1/(p_t)₁ ]^{1/2  =  6 [ 0.84/(p_t)₂ ]^{1/2

[ 1/(p_t)₁ ]  =  36 [ 0.84/(p_t)₂ ]

1 / (p_t)₁ = 30.24 / (p_t)₂

(p_t)₂ = 30.24(p_t)₁

(p_t)₂/(p_t)₁ = 30.24

Therefore, the ratio of the etched to the original crack tip radius is 30.24

How many robots does bailey nursery own ​
givi [52]

Answer:

The Bailey family has flourished during its business’ 110-year history. But Bailey Nurseries’ leaders still operate with the belief that the family doesn’t always know best. The company has grown from a one-man operation selling fruit trees and ornamental shrubs to one of the largest wholesale nurseries in the United States, thanks to insights from those who are family and those who aren’t.

“For a business to thrive, you have to ask for outside help,” says Terri McEnaney, president of the Newport-based company and a fourth-generation family member. “We get an outside perspective through family business programs, advisors and our board, because you can get a bit ingrained in your own way of thinking.”

When Bailey Nurseries chose its current leader in 2000, it brought in a facilitator who gathered insights from key employees, board members and owners. Third-generation leaders (and brothers) Gordie and Rod Bailey picked Rod’s daughter McEnaney, who had experience both inside and outside the company.
