How would you describe the stability of the atmosphere if you noted a dry adiabatic rate of 10ºC/1000 meters, a wet adiabatic ra

te of 6.5ºC/1000 meters, and an environmental lapse rate of 7.8ºC/1000 meters?

Answer:

conditionally unstable

Explanation:

Given environmental lapse rate (ELR) = 7.8°C/1000 m

Wet adiabatic lapse rate (WALR) = 6.5°C/1000 m  

Dry adiabatic lapse rate (DALR) = 10°C/1000 m  

The stability of the atmosphere can be described in three ways which are;  

a.      Absolutely stable atmosphere: Here the lifted air whether saturated or unsaturated is colder and hence heavier than the surrounding air and it would return to its initial potion when released. In this case the lifted air will descent back to its original position. It occurs when WALR is greater than ELR.  

b.     Absolutely unstable: here both saturated (and moist) and unsaturated (dry) air parcels are warmer than the surrounding and hence lighter. This means both moist and dry air parcels will rise continuously when released. This occurs when DALR is less than ELR.  

c.      Conditionally unstable atmosphere: This occurs where moist air is unstable while dry air is stable. That is moist or saturated air is warmer than the surrounding and hence it will continuously rise when released while dry air is colder than the surrounding and hence it will descent back to its original position when released.  It occurs when DALR is greater than ELR and ELR is greater than WALR (DALR>ELR>WALR).  

The situation given in the question is "c". 10°C/1000 m > 7.8°C/1000 m > 6.5°C/1000 m

Answer:

conditional instability (Γd >  Γe > Γw)

Explanation:

Given;

dry adiabatic rate, Γd = 10ºC/1000 meters

wet adiabatic rate, Γw= 6.5ºC/1000 meters

environmental lapse rate, Γe = 7.8ºC/1000 meters

Stability of the atmosphere can be described as Absolute stability, Absolute instability or conditional instability.

Conditions for Absolute stability:

Γd > Γw > Γe

Conditions for Absolute instability:

Γe > Γd > Γw

Conditions for conditional instability:

Γd >  Γe > Γw

Thus, conditional instability satisfies the given values of the atmospheric condition: Γd (10) > Γe (7.8) >  Γw (6.5)

Match the test to the property it measures.
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

a. Rockwell              3. hardness

b. Instron                 2. stress vs strain

c. Charpy                 1. impact strength

d. Fatigue                4. Endurance Limit

e. Brinell                  3. hardness

f. Izod                      1. impact strength

Explanation:

Izod and Charpy are the impact strength testing procedure of a material in which a heavy hammer is attached to an arm is released to impact on the test specimen. In Izod test the specimen with v-notch is held vertical with the notch facing outward while in Charpy test the specimen is supported horizontally with notch facing inward to the impacting hammer.

Instron testing system does universal testing of the material which gradually applies the load recording all the stresses and the corresponding strains until the material fails.

Fatigue is the property of a material due to which it fails under the repeated cyclic loading by the initiation and propagation of cracks. The property of a material resist failure subjected to infinite number of repeated cyclic loads below a certain stress limit.

Rockwell and Brinell are the hardness testing methods. In Rockwell test an intender ball is firstly pressed against the specimen using minor load for a certain time and then a major load is pressed against it for a certain time. After the intender is removed the depth of impression on the surface is measured while in case of Brinell hardness we apply only one load against the intender ball for a certain time and after its removal the radius of impression is measured.
