Answer:

The nearest plant (A) receives 4 times more radiation from the farthest plant

Explanation:

The energy emitted by the star is distributed on the surface of a sphere, whereby intensity received is the power emitted between the area of ​​the sphere

                I = P / A

               P = I A

The area of ​​the sphere is

               A = 4π r²

Since the amount of radiation emitted by the star is constant, we can write this expression for the position of the two planets

               P = I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

               I₁ / I₂ = A₂ / A₁

 Suppose index 1 corresponds to the nearest planet,

            r2 = 2 r₁

            I₁ / I₂ = r₁² / r₂²

            I₁ / I₂ = r₁² / (2r₁)²

            I₁ / I₂ = ¼

           4 I₁ = I₂

The nearest plant (A) receives 4 times more radiation from the farthest plant

Explanation:

Hydraulic Pressure-Control, On-Off Deluge Valve

FP-400Y-5DC

The BERMAD model 400Y-5DC is an elastomeric, hydraulic line pressure operated deluge valve, designed specifically for advanced fire protection systems and the latest industry standards. The 400Y-5DC is activated by a hydraulically operated relay valve, through which opening and closing of the valve can be controlled either with a remote hydraulic command or with a wet pilot line with closed fusible plugs. An integral pressure reducing pilot valve ensures a precise, stable, pre-set downstream water pressure. The optional valve position indicator can include a limit switch suitable for Fire & Gas monitoring systems. The 400Y-5DC is ideal for systems that combine a remote wet pilot line with a high pressure water supply.
