Explanation:

Styrene is a vinyl monomer in which there is a carbon carbon double bond.

The polymerization of the styrene, which is initiated by using a free radical which reacts with the styrene and the compound thus forms react again and again to form polystyrene (PS).

The equation is shown below as:

$\begin{matrix}& C_6H_5 \\&|\\n H_2C & =CH\end{matrix}$ ⇒ $\begin{matrix}&C_6H_5 \\&|\\ -[-H_2C & -CH-]-_n\end{matrix}$

An irreversible heat pump and a Carnot heat pump operate between the same two thermal reservoirs. Which heat pump has higher COP

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Carnot heat pump

Explanation:

Carnot heat pump is an ideal heat pump in which all processes are reversible and that consume minimum amount of work to and produces maximum amount of heating effect compare to all real engine.And that is why COP of Carnot heat pump is more as compare to real heat pump.

All real heat pump are not perfectly reversible heat pump So this is also called irreversible heat pump .Due to irreversibility the COP of irreversible heat pump is always less than the COP of Carnot heat pump.

Water leaves a penstock (the flow path through a hydroelectric dam) at a velocity of 100 ft/s. How deep is the water behind the

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

155fts

Explanation:

We apply the bernoulli's equation to get the depth of water.

We have the following information

P1 = pressure at top water surface = 0

V1 = velocity at too water surface = 0

X1 = height of water surface = h

Hf = friction loss = 0

P2 = pressure at exit = 0

V2 = velocity at exit if penstock = 100ft/s

X2 = height of penstock = 0

g = acceleration due to gravity = 32.2ft/s²

Applying these values to the equation

0 + 0 + h = 0 + v2²/2g +0 + 0

= h = 100²/2x32.2

= 10000/64.4

= 155.28ft

= 155

The cantilevered W530 x 150 beam shown is subjected to a 9.8-kN force F applied by means of a welded plate at A. Determine the e

snow_lady [41]

The equivalent force-couple system at O is the force and couple experienced when at point O due to the applied force at point A

The equivalent force couple system at O due to force F are;

Force, F = (8.65·i - 4.6·j) KN

Couple, M₀ ≈ 40.9 k kN·m

The reason the above values are correct is as follows:

The known values for the cantilever are;

The height of the beam = 0.65 m

The magnitude of the applied force, F = 9.8 kN

The length of the beam = 4.9 m

The angle away from the vertical the force is applied = 26°

The required parameter:

The equivalent force-couple system at the centroid of the beam cross-section of the cantilever

Solution:

The equivalent force-couple system is the force-couple system that can replace the given force at centroid of the beam cross-section at the cantilever O ;

The equivalent force $\overset \longrightarrow F$ = 9.8 kN × cos(28°)·i - 9.8 kN × sin(28°)·j

Which gives;

The equivalent force $\overset \longrightarrow F$ ≈ (8.65·i - 4.6·j) KN

The couple acting at point O due to the force F is given as follows;

The clockwise moment = 9.8 kN × cos(28°) × 4.9

The anticlockwise moment = 9.8 kN × sin(28°) 0.65/2

The sum of the moments = Anticlockwise moment - Clockwise moments

∴ The sum of the moments, ∑M, gives the moment acting at point O as follows;

M₀ = 9.8 kN × sin(28°) 0.65/2 - 9.8 kN × cos(28°) × 4.9 ≈ 40.9 kN·m

The couple acting at O, due to F, M₀ ≈ 40.9 kN·m

The equivalent force couple system acting at point O due the force, F, is as follows

F = (8.65·i - 4.6·j) KN

M₀ ≈ 40.9 k kN·m

Harvey has an inclination towards astronomy and wants to construct telescope mirrors. Which metal should he use for reflective c

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The metal Harvey should use for reflective coatings in telescope mirror is;

C. Aluminum

Explanation:

In a telescope, the mirror of the telescope is usually made of a temperature-resistant and strong glass, while the reflective coating of the mirrors is made usually from aluminum. A protective coating often composed of silicon dioxide is placed n the top of the reflective coating

Aluminum is used in a telescope, rather than the silver, which is the most reflective material, because silver requires special conditions to be able to work, and silver tarnishes when exposed to air containing sulfur, and silver is susceptible to corrode.
