Answer:

5 years

Explanation:

A hydrostatic testing machine is the equipment used to measure the strength or structural integrity of high pressure vessels that are designed for the transportation of liquids or gas. Among the containers that can be subjected to hydrostatic tests can be found boilers, gas cylinders (transport or storage) and pipes of water and gas systems.

In general, the use of this type of equipment is responsible for ensuring that the different types of containers do not leak in the entire container, pipes and connections, as well as that they are structurally safe to be operated by a person or Otherwise, the risk of leakage or explosion due to high pressure can be very high.

To perform hydrostatic tests on pipes or containers, it is necessary that the object to be evaluated be placed in a steel chamber that is filled with water at normal pressure; subsequently, the pressurized water is pumped into the item being tested, so that the container will expand, forcing the water out of the steel chamber and subsequently the pressure is released, which forces the water to return to The steel chamber.

From this test you can calculate the amount of water that goes out and the one that returns to the steel chamber, which is used to determine if the containers and pipes that are being tested pass or fail the hydrostatic test. From the tests it can be determined if the items are safe for use, if they require repairs or need replacing.

In the case of reusable high pressure refrigerant containers, the tests of said containers must be carried out at least every 5 years to avoid accidents and determine the conditions in which the container is located.

Nancy ate a 500 Cal lunch. Neglecting efficiency issues (i.e., assuming 100% conversion of energy to work), to what height could

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

$4265.04\ \text{m}$

$2.38\times 10^{10}\ \text{W}$

Explanation:

PE = Energy of food = 500 cal = $500\times4184=2.092\times10^6\ \text{J}$

m = Mass of object = 50 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

Potential energy of food is given by

$PE=mgh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{PE}{mg}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{2.092\times 10^6}{50\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=4265.04\ \text{m}$

Nancy could raise the weight to a maximum height of $4265.04\ \text{m}$ .

Mass of $H_2$ used per year = $25\times 10^{9}\ \text{kg/year}$

Energy of $H_2$ = $\dfrac{30\times10^9}{1000}=30\times 10^6\ \text{J/kg}$

Power

$P=25\times 10^{9}\ \text{kg/year}\times 30\times 10^6\ \text{J/kg}\\\Rightarrow P=7.5\times 10^{17}\ \text{J/year}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{7.5\times 10^{17}}{365.25\times 24\times 60\times 60}\\\Rightarrow P=2.38\times 10^{10}\ \text{W}$

The power requirement is $2.38\times 10^{10}\ \text{W}$ .

A venturi meter is to be installed in a 63 mm bore section of a piping system to measure the flow rate of water in it. From spac

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Throat diameter $d_2$ =28.60 mm

Explanation:

Bore diameter $d_1=63mm$ ⇒ $A_1=3.09\times 10^{-3} m^2$

Manometric deflection x=235 mm

Flow rate Q=240 Lt/min⇒ Q=.004 $\frac{m^3}{s}$

Coefficient of discharge $C_d$ =0.8

We know that discharge through venturi meter

$Q=C_d\dfrac{A_1A_2\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}$

$h=x(\dfrac{S_m}{S_w}-1)$

$S_m$ =13.6 for Hg and $S_w$ =1 for water.

$h=0.235(\dfrac{13.6}{1}-1)$

h=2.961 m

Now by putting the all value in

$Q=C_d\dfrac{A_1A_2\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}$

$0.004=0.8\times \dfrac{3.09\times 10^{-3} A_2\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 2.961}}{\sqrt{(3.09\times 10^{-3})^2-A_2^2}}$

$A_2=6.42\times 10^{-4} m^2$

⇒ $d_2$ =28.60 mm

So throat diameter $d_2$ =28.60 mm

Implement the function lastChars() that takes a list of strings as a parameter and prints to the screen the last character of ea

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The following program is in C++.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

void lastChars(string s)

{

int l=s.length();

if(l!=0)

{

cout<<"The last character of the string is: "<<s[l-1];

}

int main() {

string s;//declaring a string..

getline(cin,s);//taking input of the string..

lastChars(s);//calling the function..

return 0;

}

Input:-

Alex is going home

Output:-

The last character of the string is: e

Explanation:

In the function lastChars() there is one argument that is a string.I have declared a integer variable l that stores the length of the string.If the length of the string is not 0.Then printing the last character of the string.In the main function I have called the function lastChars() with the string s that is prompted from the user.
