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.

Answer:

the crown is false densty= 12556kg/m^3[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello! The first step to solve this problem is to find the mass of the crown, this is found using the weight of the crown in the air by means of the equation for the weight.

W=mg

W=weight(N)=31.4N

M=Mass

g=gravity=9.81m/S^2

solving for M

m=W/g

$m=\frac{31.4N}{9.81m/S^2}=3.2kg$

The second step is find the volume of crown remembering that when an object is weighed in the water the result is the subtraction between the weight of the object and the buoyant force of the water which is the product of the volume of the crown by gravity by density of water

$F=mg-\alpha V g$

Where

F=weight in water=28.9N

m=mass of crown=3.2kg

g=gravity=9.81m/S^2

α=density of water=1000kg/m^3

V= crown´s volume

solving for V

$V=\frac{mg-F }{g \alpha } =\frac{(3.2)(9.81)-28.9}{9.81(1000)} =0.000254m^3$

finally, we remember that the density is equal to the index between mass and volume

$\alpha =\frac{m}{v} =\frac{3.2}{0.000254} =12556kg/m^3$

To determine the density of the crown without using the weight in the water and with a bucket we can use the following steps.

1.weigh the crown in the air and find the mass

2. put water in a cylindrical bucket and measure its height with a ruler.

3. Put the crown in the bucket and measure the new water level with a ruler.

4. Subtract the heights, and find the volume of a cylinder knowing the difference in heights and the diameter of the bucket, in order to determine the volume of the crown.

5. find density by dividing mass by volume

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The flexural strength of a specimen is = 78.3 M pa

Explanation:

Given data

Height = depth = 5 mm

Width = 10 mm

Length L = 45 mm

Load = 290 N

The flexural strength of a specimen is given by

$\sigma = \frac{3 F L}{2 bd^{2} }$

$\sigma = \frac{3(290)(45)}{2 (10)(5)^{2} }$

$\sigma =$ 78.3 M pa

Therefore the flexural strength of a specimen is = 78.3 M pa

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: a) The technology that deals with the generation, control and transmission of power using pressurized fluids

Explanation: Fluid power is defined as the fluids which are under pressure and then are used for generation,control and transmit the power. Fluid power systems produces high forces as well as power in small amount . These systems usually tend to have better life if maintained properly. The force that are applied on this system can be monitored by gauges as well as meter.

A European car manufacturer reports that the fuel efficiency of the new MicroCar is 48.5 km/L highway and 42.0 km/L city. What a

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Fuel efficiency for highway = 114.08 miles/gallon

Fuel efficiency for city = 98.79 miles/gallon

Explanation:

1 gallon = 3.7854 litres

1 mile = 1.6093 km

Let's first convert the efficiency to km/gallon:

48.5 km/litre = (48.5 * 3.7854) km/gallon

48.5 km/litre = 183.5919 km/gallon (highway)

42.0 km/litre = (42.0 * 3.7854) km/gallon

42.0 km/litre = 158.9868 km/gallon (city)

Next, we convert these to miles/gallon:

183.5919 km/gallon = (183.5919 / 1.6093) miles/gallon

183.5919 km/gallon = 114.08 miles/gallon (highway)

158.9868 km/gallon = (158.9868 /1.6093) miles/gallon

158.9868 km/gallon = 98.79 miles/gallon (city)
