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

1 answer:

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.

Answer:

k = 4.21 * 10⁻³(L/(mol.s))

Explanation:

We know that

k = Ae $^{-E/RT}$ ------------------- euqation (1)

K= rate constant;

A = frequency factor = 4.36 10^11 M⁻¹s⁻¹;

E = activation energy = 93.1kJ/mol;

R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K;

T= temperature = 332 K;

Put values in equation 1.

k = 4.36*10¹¹(M⁻¹s⁻¹)e $^{[(-93.1*10^3)(J/mol)]/[(8.314)(J/mol.K)(332K)}$

k = 4.2154 * 10⁻³(M⁻¹s⁻¹)

here M =mol/L

k = 4.21 * 10⁻³((mol/L)⁻¹s⁻¹)

or

k = 4.21 * 10⁻³((L/mol)s⁻¹)

or

k = 4.21 * 10⁻³(L/(mol.s))

An inductor has a 50.0-Ω reactance when connected to a 60.0-Hz source. The inductor is removed and then connected to a 45.0-Hz s

nignag [31]

Given:

$X_{L} = 50.0 \ohm$

frequency, f = 60.0 Hz

frequency, f' = 45.0 Hz

$V_rms} = 85.0 V$

Solution:

To calculate max current in inductor, $I_{L(max)$ :

At f = 60.0 Hz

$X_{L} = 2\pi fL$

$50.0 = 2\pi\times 60.0\times L$

L = 0.1326 H

Now, reactance $X_{L}$ at f' = 45.0 Hz:

$X'_{L} = 2\pi f'L$

$X'_{L} = 2\pi\times 45.0\times 0.13263 = 37.5\ohm$

Now, $I_{L(max)$ is given by:

$I_{L(max) = \sqrt {\frac{2V_{rms}}{X'_{L}}}$

$I_{L(max) = \sqrt {\frac{2\times 85.0}{37.5}} = 2.13 A$

Therefore, max current in the inductor, $I_{L(max)$ = 2.13 A

A gas tank is known to have a thickness of 0.5 inches and an internal pressure of 2.2 ksi. Assuming that the maximum allowable s

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

$D_o=11.9inch$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Thickness $T=0.5$

Internal Pressure $P=2.2Ksi$

Shear stress $\sigma=12ksi$

Elastic modulus $\gamma= 35000$

Generally the equation for shear stress is mathematically given by

$\sigma=\frac{P*r_1}{2*t}$

Where

r_i=internal Radius

Therefore

$12=\frac{2.2*r_1}{2*0.5}$

$r_i=5.45$

Generally

$r_o=r_1+t$

$r_o=5.45+0.5$

$r_o=5.95$

Generally the equation for outer diameter is mathematically given by

$D_o=2r_o$

$D_o=11.9inch$

Therefore

Assuming that the thin cylinder is subjected to integral Pressure

Outer Diameter is

$D_o=11.9inch$
