Answer:

Due to oxidation process apple gets brown color.

Explanation:

When we cut the apple it turn brown in color because of the oxidation process. The peel of apple protect it from the oxidation. When the apple is peel off the oxygen and water molecules in air react with it and oxidation take place. The oxidation process is very efficient in ambient temperature.

For example, if the peal off apple is placed into the refrigerator it take a time to got oxidize and turn brown, but if it is placed in room temperature it quickly turn brown.

when oxygen is react with peel off apple , it trigger the polyphenol oxidase enzyme to oxidize the phenolic compound and quinones are formed which then react with amino acids and produced brown color.

Which has greater heat capacity—iron, tin, or bismuth? Why do you say this?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Bismuth, because when three cubes of the same mass were heated and dropped into the same temperature water, the water the bismuth cube was dropped in heated up much less than the water with iron or tin.

The fire department needs information on friction losses occurring between a water main and an open fire hydrant. At maximum mai
lisov135 [29]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

      P_{1} = 85 psig,   P_{2} = P_{atm} = 15 psia

        Q = 1620 gpm,  d = 2.5 inch,     l = 8 ft = 2.4384 m

According to Darey-Weisbach equation,

                        h_{l} = \frac{4fl \nu^{2}}{2gD}  ......... (1)

Value of 'f' will be decided on the basis of Reynold number.

As, it is known that R_{l} = \frac{\rho \nu d}{\mu}

where,  \mu_{water} = 10^{-3} kg/ms

As it is known that 1 gpm = \frac{1}{3.67} m^{3}/hr

So,  1 m^{3}/hr = 3.67 gpm

Therefore,   Q = 1620 \times \frac{1}{3.67}

                        = 441.4168 m^{3}/hr

                         = 0.1226 m^{3}/s

In, 1 inch = 2.54 cm = 0.0254 m

Therefore, d = 2.5 \times 0.0254 = 0.0635 m

                V = \frac{Q}{\frac{\pi}{4}d^{2}}

                    = \frac{0.1226}{0.785 \times (0.0635)^{2}}

                    = 38.73 m/s

Hence, we will calculate Reynold number as follows.

             R_{l} = \frac{1000 \times 38.73 \times 0.0635}{10^{-3}}

                             = 2459355

As R_{l} > 2000 then, it means that flow is turbulent.

As, f = 0.079 R^{-0.25}_{l}

        = 0.001994

Putting all the values into equation (1) formula as follows.    

                          h_{l} = \frac{4fl \nu^{2}}{2gD}

                                     = \frac{4 \times 0.001994 \times 2.4384 \times (38.73)^{2}}{2 \times 9.81 \times 0.0635}

                                      = 1.04069 \times 10^{5} m

Thus, we can conclude that friction loss from the main to the discharge point is 1.04069 \times 10^{5} m.
