Answer:

of 150 pounds per square inch

Explanation:

Note that the unit for measuring water pressure is called pounds per square inch (psi)

In the case of sprinklers and standpipe systems, a pressure of 150 pounds per square inch was used initially.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

$62.14\ \text{miles}$

$6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

Explanation:

The distance of the chain would be the product of the dislocation density and the volume of the metal.

Dislocation density = $10^5\ \text{mm}^{-2}$

Volume of the metal = $1000\ \text{mm}^3$

$10^5\times 1000=10^8\ \text{mm}\\ =10^5\ \text{m}$

$1\ \text{mile}=1609.34\ \text{m}$

$\dfrac{10^5}{1609.34}=62.14\ \text{miles}$

The chain would extend $62.14\ \text{miles}$

Dislocation density = $10^{10}\ \text{mm}^{-2}$

Volume of the metal = $1000\ \text{mm}^3$

$10^{10}\times 1000=10^{13}\ \text{mm}\\ =10^{10}\ \text{m}$

$\dfrac{10^{10}}{1609.34}=6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

The chain would extend $6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

A circular hoop sits in a stream of water, oriented perpendicular to the current. If the area of the hoop is doubled, the flux (

natka813 [3]

Answer:

The flux (volume of water per unit time) through the hoop will also double.

Explanation:

The flux = volume of water per unit time = flow rate of water through the hoop.

The Flow rate of water through the hoop is proportional to the area of the hoop, and the velocity of the water through the hoop.

This means that

Flow rate = AV

where A is the area of the hoop

V is the velocity of the water through the hoop

This flow rate = volume of water per unit time = Δv/Δt =Q

From all the above statements, we can say

Q = AV

From the equation, if we double the area, and the velocity of the stream of water through the hoop does not change, then, the volume of water per unit time will also double or we can say increases by a factor of 2

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a) $COP_{R} = 25.014$ , b) $T_{H} = 327.78\,K\,(54.63\,^{\textdegree}C)$

Explanation:

a) The coefficient of performance of a reversible refrigeration cycle is:

$COP_{R} = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

Temperatures must be written on absolute scales (Kelvin for SI units, Rankine for Imperial units)

$COP_{R} = \frac{275.15\,K}{286.15\,K-275.15\,K}$

$COP_{R} = 25.014$

b) The respective coefficient of performance is determined:

$COP_{R} = \frac{Q_{L}}{Q_{H}-Q_{L}}$

$COP_{R} = \frac{8.75\,kW}{10.5\,kW-8.75\,kW}$

$COP_{R} = 5$

But:

$COP_{R} = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

The temperature at hot reservoir is found with some algebraic help:

$COP_{R} \cdot (T_{H}-T_{L})=T_{L}$

$T_{H}-T_{L} = \frac{T_{L}}{COP_{R}}$

$T_{H} = T_{L}\cdot \left(1+\frac{1}{COP_{R}} \right)$

$T_{H} = 273.15\,K \cdot \left(1+\frac{1}{5} \right)$

$T_{H} = 327.78\,K\,(54.63\,^{\textdegree}C)$
