Answer:

3) the pressure drop across high MERV filters is significant.

Explanation:

MERV (Minimum-Efficiency Reporting Value) is used to measure the efficiency of filter to remove particles. A filter of high MERV can filter smaller particles but this causes an increase in reduced air flow that is an increase in pressure drop. High MERV filters capture more particles causing them to get congested faster and thereby increasing pressure drop.

Excessive pressure drop can cause overheating and lead to damage of the filter. The pressure drop can be reduced by increasing the surface area of the filter.

Answer:

3) The pressure drop across high MERV filters is significant.

Explanation:

The higher the MERV filter rate is, the most efficient it will be when it comes to trapping small particles. This comes with a cost. Since the space between fibers is smaller, this translates into a higher pressure drop. This is a disadvantge since in air conditioning or ventilation systems, the higher the pressure drop, the biggest the equipment and the most expensive it is.

Affect the amount and rate the alcohol reaches the bloodstream.

just olya [345]

Answer:

Answer to the following question is as follows;

Explanation:

The amount of alcohol consumption can be influenced by a variety of things, including food.

The proportion and pace at which alcohol reaches the circulation is affected by drinking rate, body mass, and the size of the beverage. Alcohol enters your system as soon as it reaches that first sip, as per the National Institute on Drug Abuse and Alcoholism. After 10 minutes, the results are noticeable.

Which is the better measure of computer system performance—a benchmark, such as SPECINT; or a processor speed measure, such as G

Vesna [10]

Answer:

A benchmark

Explanation:

Most times a benchmark serves as the better measure when assessing a computer's performance, this is because CPU speeds can only evaluate an aspect of a computer's performance whereas a benchmark offers the advantage of measuring all the aspects of a computer's performance for a specific type of computing problem.

1.0•10^-10 standard form

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$1.0 * 10^{-10} = 0.0000000001$

Explanation:

Given

$1.0 * 10^{-10}$

Required

Convert to standard form

$1.0 * 10^{-10}$

From laws of indices

$a^{-x} = \frac{1}{a^x}$

So, $1.0 * 10^{-10}$ is equivalent to

$1.0 * 10^{-10} = 1.0 * \frac{1}{10^{10}}$

$1.0 * 10^{-10} = 1.0 * \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}$

$1.0 * 10^{-10} = 1.0 * \frac{1}{10000000000}$

$1.0 * 10^{-10} = 1.0 * 0.0000000001$

$1.0 * 10^{-10} = 0.0000000001$

Hence, the standard form of $1.0 * 10^{-10}$ is $0.0000000001$

Four kilograms of carbon monoxide (CO) is contained in a rigid tank with a volume of 1 m3. The tank is fitted with a paddle whee

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

a) 1 m^3/Kg

b) 504 kJ

c) 514 kJ

Explanation:

Given

-The mass of C_o2 = 1 kg

-The volume of the tank V_tank = 1 m^3

-The added energy E = 14 W

-The time of adding energy t = 10 s

-The increase in specific internal energy Δu = +10 kJ/kg

-The change in kinetic energy ΔKE = 0 and The change in potential energy

ΔPE =0

Required

(a)Specific volume at the final state v_2

(b)The energy transferred by the work W in kJ.

(c)The energy transferred by the heat transfer W in kJ and the direction of

the heat transfer.

Assumption

-Quasi-equilibrium process.

Solution

(a) The volume and the mass doesn't change then, the specific volume is constant.

v= V_tank/m ---> 1/1= 1 m^3/Kg

(b) The added work is defined by.

W =E * t ---> 14 x 10 x 3600 x 10^-3 = 504 kJ

(c) From the first law of thermodynamics.

Q - W = m * Δu

Q = (m * Δu) + W--> (1 x 10) + 504 = 514 kJ

The heat have (+) sign the n it is added to the system.
