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.

Steam enters an adiabatic condenser (heat exchanger) at a mass flow rate of 5.55 kg/s where it condensed to saturated liquid wat

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The minimum mass flow rate will be "330 kg/s".

Explanation:

Given:

For steam,

$m_{s}=5.55 \ kg/s$

$\Delta h=2491 \ kg/kj$

For water,

$\Delta T=10^{\circ}C$

$(Cp)_{w}=4.184 \ kJ/kg^{\circ}C$

They add energy efficiency as condenser becomes adiabatic, with total mass flow rate of minimal vapor,

⇒ $m_{s}\times (\Delta h)=M_{w}\times(Cp)_{w}\times \Delta T$

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒ $5.55\times 2491=M_{w}\times 4.184\times 10\\$

⇒ $13825.05=M_{w}\times 41.84$

⇒ $M_{w}=330 \ kg/s$

If a hoist lifts a 4500lb load 30ft in 15s, the power delivered to the load is a) 18.00hp b) 9000hp c) 16.36hp d) None of the ab

12345 [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

load = 4500lb lift height= 30 ft

time =15 s

velocity= $\frac{30}{15}$ ft/s

velocity=2 ft/s

power = force $\times$ velocity

power= ${4500}\times2$

power= 9000 lb ft/s

1 hp= 550 lb ft/s

power= $\frac{9000}{550} =16.36$ hp

Does the Diesel engine have engine knock or detonation problem? Why?

Luda [366]

Explanation:

Yes Diesel engine have problem of knocking.

We know that knocking is phenomenon in which suddenly large amount of power generates this large amount of power will cause the failure of diesel engine.

Actually when one set of fuel inject inside the cylinder to burn with already compressed air (in general up to 10-15 bar) then this fuel does not burn complete and accumulate inside the cylinder.After that second set of fuel inject inside the cylinder then that one set of fuel burns with second set of fuel and produces large amount of sudden power for engine and causes the breaks in the crank or connecting rod of engine.it leads to damage the engine.

What is the effect of connecting

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: A capacitor connected across the output allows the AC signal to pass through it and blocks the DC signal, thus acting as a high pass filter. The output across the capacitor is thus an unregulated filtered DC signal. This output can be used to drive electrical components like relays, motors, etc.
