Answer:

It serves as a guarantee that the contractor who wins the bid will honor the terms of the bid after the contract is signed.

Explanation:

A bid bond is a type of construction bond that protects the obligee in a construction bidding process.

A bid bond typically involves three parties:

The obligee; the owner or developer of the construction project under bid. The principal; the bidder or proposed contractor.

The surety; the agency that issues the bid bond to the principal example insurance company or bank.

A bid bond generally serves as a guarantee that the contractor who wins the bid will honor the terms of the bid after the contract is signed.

Nata [24]

<u>Explanation</u>:

For series

$\Delta V=V_{1}+V_{2}+\ldots+V_{n}=I R_{1}+I R_{2}+\ldots+I R_{n}(\text {voltages add to the batter } y)$

$$I=I_{1}=I_{2}=I_{n}$ (current is the same)$

$V=I R(\text {voltage is directly proportional to } R)$

$R_{e q}=R_{1}+R_{2}+\ldots+R_{n} \quad \text { (resistance increase) }$

For parallel

$\Delta V=\Delta V_{1}=\Delta V_{2}=\Delta V_{n} \quad(\text { same voltage })$

$I=I_{1}+I_{2}+\ldots+I_{n}(\text {current adds})$

$I=\frac{\Delta V}{R_{e q}} \quad(R \text { inversal } y \text { proportional to } I)$

$\frac{1}{R_{e q}}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\ldots+\frac{1}{R_{n}}$

A cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains 2 kg of R-134a at 3.5 bar and 100 C. The cylinder is now cooled so that th

inna [77]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The heat transferred in the process is -274.645 kJ

Explanation:

To solve the question, we list out the variables thus

R-134a = Tetrafluoroethane

Intitial Temperaturte t₁ = 100 °C

Initial pressure = 3.5 bar = 350 kPa

For closed system we have m₁ = m₂ = m

ΔU = m×(u₂ - u₁) = ₁Q₂ -₁W₂

For constant pressure process we have

Work done = W = $\int\limits^a_b P \, dV$ = P×ΔV = P × (V₂ - V₁) = P×m×(v₂ - v₁)

From the tables we have

State 1 we have h₁ = (490.48 +489.52)/2 = 490 kJ/kg

State 2 gives h₂ = 206.75 + 0.75 × 194.57= 352.6775 kJ/kg

Therefore Q₁₂ = m×(u₂ - u₁) + W₁₂ = m × (u₂ - u₁) + P×m×(v₂ - v₁)

= m×(h₂ - h₁) = 2.0 kg × (352.6775 kJ/kg - 490 kJ/kg) =-274.645 kJ

Which is a common refrigerant for domestic air conditioners?

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The most common HFC used in air conditioners is R-410A. This refrigerant is better than R-22 in terms of “Ozone Depletion” potential and energy efficiency, but it still causes global warming. A few more HFCs that are commonly used are: R-32 in Air Conditioners and R-134A in refrigerators.
