agasfer [191]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  add resistance to a circuit

Explanation:

It depends on the design in which it is incorporated. A fixed resistor has many uses, including, but not limited to ...

  • dropping voltage
  • limiting current
  • contributing to a time delay
  • adjusting frequency response
  • eliminating (or creating) signal reflections
  • acting as a fuse
  • calibrating or trimming a response
  • providing protection against electrical shock or ESD
  • acting as a reference when measuring variable resistors

Saturated steam coming off the turbine of a steam power plant at 40°C condenses on the outside of a 3-cm-outer-diameter, 35-m-lo
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

93.57 KJ/s

Explanation:

Rate of heat transfer from the steam to the cooling water = mass rate  ×  Heat of vaporization of water at 40 °C

H vaporization of water 40 °C  at saturation pressure = 2406.0 kJ / Kg

rate of heat transfer = 2406.0 kJ / Kg × 140 Kg / ( 60 × 60s) = 93.57 KJ/s

The volume of microbial culture is observed to increase according to the formula
saw5 [17]

The expression of V(m³)=e^(t(s)) to make V in in³ and t in minutes is;

V(in³) = (¹/₆₁₀₂₄)ae^{\frac{1}{60}bt(h)

We are given that;

Volume of microbial culture is observed to increase according to the formula;

V = e^(t)

where;

t is in seconds

V is in m³

We want to now express V in in³ and t in minutes.

Now, from conversions;

1 m³ = 61024 in³

Also; 1 second = 1/60 minutes

according to formula for exponential decay, we know that;

V = ae^(bt)

Thus, we have;

61024V = ae^(¹/₆₀b(t(h))

V(in³) = (¹/₆₁₀₂₄)ae^{\frac{1}{60}bt(h)

Explain the difference between thermoplastics and thermosets giving structure property correlation.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Thermosetting polymers are infusible and insoluble polymers. The reason for such behavior is that the chains of these materials form a three-dimensional spatial network, intertwining with strong equivalent bonds. The structure thus formed is a conglomerate of interwoven chains giving the appearance and functioning as a macromolecule, which as the temperature rises, simply the chains are more compacted, making the polymer more resistant to the point where it degrades.

Macromolecules are molecules that have a high molecular mass, formed by a large number of atoms. Generally they can be described as the repetition of one or a few minimum units or monomers, forming the polymers. In contrast, a thermoplastic is a material that at relatively high temperatures, becomes deformable or flexible, melts when heated and hardens in a glass transition state when it cools sufficiently. Most thermoplastics are high molecular weight polymers, which have associated chains through weak Van der Waals forces (polyethylene); strong dipole-dipole and hydrogen bond interactions, or even stacked aromatic rings (polystyrene). Thermoplastic polymers differ from thermosetting polymers or thermofixes in that after heating and molding they can overheat and form other objects.

Thermosetting plastics have some advantageous properties over thermoplastics. For example, better resistance to impact, solvents, gas permeation and extreme temperatures. Among the disadvantages are, generally, the difficulty of processing, the need for curing, the brittle nature of the material (fragile) and the lack of reinforcement when subjected to tension. But even so in many ways it surpasses the thermoplastic.

The physical properties of thermoplastics gradually change if they are melted and molded several times (thermal history), these properties are generally diminished by weakening the bonds. The most commonly used are polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polybutylene (PB), polystyrene (PS), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyvinylchloride (PVC), ethylene polyterephthalate (PET), Teflon (or polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE) and nylon (a type of polyamide).

They differ from thermosets or thermofixes (bakelite, vulcanized rubber) in that the latter do not melt when raised at high temperatures, but burn, making it impossible to reshape them.

Many of the known thermoplastics can be the result of the sum of several polymers, such as vinyl, which is a mixture of polyethylene and polypropylene.

When they are cooled, starting from the liquid state and depending on the temperatures to which they are exposed during the solidification process (increase or decrease), solid crystalline or non-crystalline structures may be formed.

This type of polymer is characterized by its structure. It is formed by hydrocarbon chains, like most polymers, and specifically we find linear or branched chains

A thick steel slab ( 7800 kg/m3 , c 480 J/kg K, k 50 W/m K) is initially at 300 C and is cooled by water jets impinging on one o
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

1791 secs  ≈ 29.85 minutes

Explanation:

( Initial temperature of slab )  T1 = 300° C

temperature of water ( Ts ) = 25°C

T2 ( final temp of slab ) = 50°C

distance between slab and water jet = 25 mm

<u>Determine how long it will take to reach T2</u>

First calculate the thermal diffusivity

∝  = 50 / ( 7800 * 480 ) = 1.34 * 10^-5 m^2/s

<u>next express Temp as a function of time </u>

T( 25 mm , t ) = 50°C

next calculate the time required for the slab to reach 50°C at a distance of 25mm

attached below is the remaining part of the detailed solution
