Answer:

The options a)- A blast furnace is used and d)-Coke is used to produce the heat are FALSE.

Explanation:

Aluminium is a chemical element and the most abundant metal present in the Earth's crust. An aluminium ore is called bauxite. Aluminium is extracted from its ore by the process of electrolysis, called the Hall–Héroult process. The extraction of aluminium is an expensive process as it requires large amount of electricity. The bauxite is purified to produce aluminium oxide. Then, aluminium is extracted from the aluminium oxide.

<u>Therefore, the refining of aluminum from its ore does not involve the use of a blast furnace and coke to produce heat.</u>

At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 7 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power gen
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given;

The velocity of the wind blow V = 7 m/s

The diameter of the blades  (d) = 80 m

Percentage of the overall efficiency \eta_{overall} = 30\%

The density of air \rho = 1.25 kg/km^3

Then, we can use the concept of the kinetic energy of the wind blowing to estimate the mechanic energy of air per unit mass by using the formula:

e_{mechanic} = \dfrac{mV^2}{2}

here;

m = \rho AV

= 1.25 \times \dfrac{\pi}{4}(80)^2 \times 7

= 43982.29 kg/s

∴

W = e_{mechanic} = \dfrac{mV^2}{2}

= \dfrac{43982.29 \times 7^2}{2}

= 1077566.105 \ W

\mathbf{ =1077.566 \ kW}

The actual electric power is:

W_{electric} = \eta_{overall} \times W

W_{electric} = 0.3 \times 1077.566

\mathbf{W_{electric} =323.26 \ kW}

Are ocean currents always cold
swat32

Answer:

The surface ocean currents have a strong effect on Earth's climate. ... However, these areas do not constantly get warmer and warmer, because the ocean currents and winds transport the heat from the lower latitudes near the equator to higher latitudes near the poles.

Hello, I have a question, I would be glad if you can help.
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

  infinite

Explanation:

The tangent of the angle the arm makes with the vertical will be the ratio of the centripetal acceleration to the acceleration due to gravity on the center of mass of the arm. The angle can only be 90° (fully-open arms) if that ratio is infinite.

The speed must be infinite for the arms to be fully open.

Water flows at a rate of 10 gallons per minute in a new horizontal 0.75?in. diameter galvanized iron pipe. Determine the pressur
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

\frac{\delta p }{l} = 30.4 lb/ft^3

Explanation:

Given data:

flow rate = 10 gallon per  minute = 0.0223 ft^3/sec

diameter = 0.75 inch

we know discharge is given as

Q =  VA

solve for velocity V = \frac{Q}{A}[/tex]

V = \frac{0.223}{\frac{\pi}{4} \frac{0.75}{12}}

V = 7.27 ft/sec

we know that Reynold number

Re = \frac{VD}{\nu}

Re = \frac{7.27 \times \frac{0.75}{12}}{1.21\times 10^{-5}}

Re = 3.76 \times 10^4

calculate the \frac{\epsilon }{D}ratio to determine the fanning friction f

\frac{\epsilon }{D} = \frac{0.0005}{\frac{0.75}{12}} = 0.008

from moody diagram f value corresonding to Re and \frac{\epsilon }{D}is 0.037

for horizontal pipe

\delta p = \frac{f l \rho v^2}{2D}

\frac{\delta p }{l} = \frac{1 \times 0.037 \times 1.94 \times 7.27}{\frac{0.75}{12}}

where 1.94 slug/ft^3is density of  water

\frac{\delta p }{l} = 30.4 lb/ft^3
