Answer:
True, <em>Regeneration is the only process where increases the efficiency of a Brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than working fluid leaving the compressor</em>.
Option: A
<u>Explanation:
</u>
To increase the efficiency of brayton cycle there are three ways which includes inter-cooling, reheating and regeneration. <em>Regeneration</em> technique <em>is used when a turbine exhaust fluids have higher temperature than the working fluid leaving the compressor of the turbine. </em>
<em>Thermal efficiency</em> of a turbine is increased as <em>the exhaust fluid having higher temperatures are used in heat exchanger where the fluids from the compressor enters and increases the temperature of the fluids leaving the compressor.
</em>
Answer:
Electrical faults are also caused due to human errors such as selecting improper rating of equipment or devices, forgetting metallic or electrical conducting parts after servicing or maintenance, switching the circuit while it is under servicing, etc.

Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
Alloys are metal compounds with two or more metals or non metals to create new compounds that exhibit superior structural properties. Alloys have high level of hardness that resists deformation thereby making it less ductile compared to polymers. This is due to the varying difference in the chemical and physical characteristics of the constituent metals in the alloy.
Answer:
While calculating the stresses in a body since we we assume a constant distribution of stress across a cross section if the body is loaded along the centroid of the cross section , this assumption of uniformity is assumed only on the basis of Saint Venant's Principle.
Saint venant principle states that the non uniformity in the stress at the point of application of load is only significant at small distances below the load and depths greater than the width of the loaded material this non uniformity is negligible and hence a uniform stress distribution is a reasonable and correct assumption while solving the body for stresses thus greatly simplifying the analysis.

See explanation below
Explanation:
Hypo-eutectoid steel has less than 0,8% of C in its composition.
It is composed by pearlite and α-ferrite, whereas Hyper-eutectoid steel has between 0.8% and 2% of C, composed by pearlite and cementite.
Ferrite has a higher tensile strength than cementite but cementite is harder.
Considering that hypoeutectoid steel contains ferrite at grain boundaries and pearlite inside grains whereas hypereutectoid steel contains a higher amount of cementite, the following properties are obtainable:
Hypo-eutectoid steel has higher yield strength than Hyper-eutectoid steel
Hypo-eutectoid steel is more ductile than Hyper-eutectoid steel
Hyper-eutectoid steel is harder than Hyper-eutectoid steel
Hypo-eutectoid steel has more tensile strength than Hyper-eutectoid steel.
When making a knife or axe blade, I would choose Hyper-eutectoid steel alloy because
1. It is harder
2. It has low cost
3. It is lighter
When making a die to press powders or stamp a softer metals, I will choose hypo-eutectoid steel alloy because
1. It is ductile
2. It has high tensile strength
3. It is durable
