A hair dryer is basically a duct of constant diameter in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan pulls

the air in and forces it through the resistors where it is heated. If the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3 at the inlet and 0.955 kg/m3 at the exit, determine the percent increase in the velocity of air as it flows through the dryer.

Answer:

the percent increase in the velocity of air is 25.65%

Explanation:

Hello!

The first thing we must consider to solve this problem is the continuity equation that states that the amount of mass flow that enters a system is the same as what should come out.

m1=m2

Now remember that mass flow is given by the product of density, cross-sectional area and velocity

(α1)(V1)(A1)=(α2)(V2)(A2)

where

α=density

V=velocity

A=area

Now we can assume that the input and output areas are equal

(α1)(V1)=(α2)(V2)

\frac{V2}{V1} =\frac{\alpha1 }{\alpha 2}

Now we can use the equation that defines the percentage of increase, in this case for speed

i=(\frac{V2}{V1} -1) 100

Now we use the equation obtained in the previous step, and replace values

i=(\frac{\alpha1 }{\alpha 2} -1) 100\\i=(\frac{1.2}{0.955} -1) 100=25.65

the percent increase in the velocity of air is 25.65%

A piston/cylinder contains 1.5 kg of water at 200 kPa, 150°C. It is now heated by a process in which pressure is linearly relate
Fofino [41]

Answer:

final volume V2 = 0.71136 m³

work done in process W = -291.24 kJ

heat transfer Q = 164 kJ

Explanation:

given data

mass = 1.5 kg

pressure p1 = 200 kPa

temperature t1 = 150°C

final pressure p2 = 600 kPa

final temperature t2 = 350°C

solution

we will use here superheated water table that is

for pressure 200 kPa and 150°C temperature

v1 = 0.95964 m³/kg

u1 = 2576.87 kJ/kg

and

for pressure 600 kPa and 350°C temperature

v2 = 0.47424 m³/kg

u2 = 2881.12 kJ/kg

so v1 is express as

V1 = v1 × m    ............................1

V1 = 0.95964 × 1.5

V1 = 1.43946 m³

and

V2 = v2 × m    ............................2

V2 = 0.47424 × 1.5

final volume V2 = 0.71136 m³

and

W = P(avg) × dV      .............................3

P(avg) = \frac{p1+p2}{2}    = \frac{200+600}{2} = 400 × 10³

put here value

W = 400 × 10³ × (0.71136 - 1.43946 )

work done in process W = -291.24 kJ

and

heat transfer is

Q = m × (u2 - u1)  + W       .............................4

Q = 1.5 × (2881.12 - 2576.87)  + 292.24

heat transfer Q = 164 kJ

Calculate the equivalent capacitance of the three series capacitors in Figure 12-1 A) 0.060 uF B) 0.8 uF C) 0.58 uF D) 0.01 uF
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (A) 0.060 uF

Note: Kindly find an attached image of the complete question below

Sources: The complete question was well researched from Quizlet.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

C₁ = 0.1 μF

C₂ =0.22 μF

C₃ = 0.47 μF

In this case, C₁, C₂ and C₃ are in series

Thus,

Their equivalent becomes:

1/Ceq = (1/C₁ + 1/C₂ +1/C₃

1/Ceq =[ (1/0.1 + 1/0.22 +1/0.47)]

1/Ceq =[(0.22 * 0.47) + (0.1 * 0.47) + (0.1 * 0.22)/(0.1 * 0.22 *0.47)]

1/Ceq =[(0.1034 + 0.047 + 0.022)/(0.01034)

1/Ceq =[(0.1724)/(0.01034)]

1/Ceq = [(16.67)]

1/Ceq =(1/16.67) = 0.059μf

Ceq = 0.059μf ≈ 0.060μf

Therefore the equivalent capacitance of the three series capacitors is 0.060μf

Looking at the response vehicles (pictured above), explain two options you have in order to abide by the Move
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

  • slow down
  • change lanes

Explanation:

The "Move Over law" varies by state, but generally requires you vacate the adjacent lane (the one you're currently traveling in), or slow down. Some states have specific speed requirements; others require only "safe and prudent" speed.

The sort of parked vehicles that require you to "move over" also vary by state. It would be "safe and prudent" to move over for <em>any</em> vehicle parked on the shoulder, especially if there are people or animals around those vehicles.

Your study space does not need to be quiet as long as you can ignore any noise coming from the space true or false?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

When you're studying, you need to make sure that you can focus properly. This means that you shouldn't be hungry or too full and that you should be well-rested, in a quiet room with good lighting and no distractions. Noise is never good when you need to memorize something. Some people can partially ignore it as long as it isn't too loud, but it will begin to bother them eventually. That's why it's better to study in a quiet room.
