Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

A) overall mean = 5.535, standard deviation ≈ 0.3239

B ) upper limit = 5.85, lower limit = 5.0

C) Not all the samples meet the contract specifications

D) fluctuation ( unstable Asphalt content )

Explanation:

B) The daily average asphalt content has to obtained in order to determine the upper and lower control limits using an average asphalt content of 5.5% +/- 0.5% everyday

The upper limit : 14 may = ( 5.8 + 5.1 ) / 2 = 5.85

The lower limit : 16 may = ( 5.2 + 4.8 ) / 2 = 5.0

attached below is the required plot

C ) Not all the samples meet the contract specifications and the samples that do not meet up are samples from :

15 may and 16 may . this is because their Asphalt contents are 6.2 and 4.8 respectively and sample number 18 and 20

D ) what can be observed is that the ASPHALT content fluctuates between the dates while the contract specification is fixed

What is an isentropic process?

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: Isentropic process is the process in fluids which have a constant entropy.

Explanation: The isentropic process is considered as the ideal thermodynamical process and has both adiabatic as well as reversible processes in internal form.This process supports no transfer of heat and no transformation of matter .The entropy of the provided mass also remains unchanged or consistent.These processes are usually carried out on material on the efficient device.

14. The maximum amount a homeowner should spend on housing is

Simora [160]

Answer:

28%

Explanation:

Although there are sources that says 30% of gross income can be spent on housing, the most reliable amount that can be spent (according to other sources) is 28%.

Take for instance, you earn $5000 monthly, the maximum that you can spend on housing is:

$Max = 28\% * \$5000$

Using a calculator, we have:

$Max = \$1400$

<em>The maximum that can be spent on a monthly gross income of $5000 is $1400</em>

How many robots does bailey nursery own

givi [52]

Answer:

The Bailey family has flourished during its business’ 110-year history. But Bailey Nurseries’ leaders still operate with the belief that the family doesn’t always know best. The company has grown from a one-man operation selling fruit trees and ornamental shrubs to one of the largest wholesale nurseries in the United States, thanks to insights from those who are family and those who aren’t.

“For a business to thrive, you have to ask for outside help,” says Terri McEnaney, president of the Newport-based company and a fourth-generation family member. “We get an outside perspective through family business programs, advisors and our board, because you can get a bit ingrained in your own way of thinking.”

When Bailey Nurseries chose its current leader in 2000, it brought in a facilitator who gathered insights from key employees, board members and owners. Third-generation leaders (and brothers) Gordie and Rod Bailey picked Rod’s daughter McEnaney, who had experience both inside and outside the company.

An aluminum block weighing 28 kg initially at 140°C is brought into contact with a block of iron weighing 36 kg at 60°C in an in

Anika [276]

Answer:

Equilibrium Temperature is 382.71 K

Total entropy is 0.228 kJ/K

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the Aluminium block, M = 28 kg

Initial temperature of aluminium, $T_{a} = 140^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 140 = 413 K

Mass of Iron block, m = 36 kg

Temperature for iron block, $T_{i} = 60^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 60 = 333 K

At 400 k

Specific heat of Aluminium, $C_{p} = 0.949\ kJ/kgK$

At room temperature

Specific heat of iron, $C_{p} = 0.45\ kJ/kgK$

Now,

To calculate the final equilibrium temperature:

Amount of heat loss by Aluminium = Amount of heat gain by Iron

$MC_{p}\Delta T = mC_{p}\Delta T$

$28\times 0.949(140 - T_{e}) = 36\times 0.45(T_{e} - 60)$

Thus

$T_{e} = 109.71^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 109.71 = 382.71 K

where

$T_{e}$ = Equilibrium temperature

Now,

To calculate the changer in entropy:

$\Delta s = \Delta s_{a} + \Delta s_{i}$

Now,

For Aluminium:

$\Delta s_{a} = MC_{p}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}$

$\Delta s_{a} = 28\times 0.949\times ln\frac{382.71}{413} = - 2.025\ kJ/K$

For Iron:

$\Delta s_{i} = mC_{i}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}$

$\Delta s_{a} = 36\times 0.45\times ln\frac{382.71}{333} = 2.253\ kJ/K$

Thus

$\Delta s =-2.025 + 2.253 = 0.228\ kJ/K$

An example of Ferrous alloy is Brass a)-True b)-False

djyliett [7]

Answer: False

Explanation: No, brass is not a ferrous alloy.

Ferrous alloys are those alloy which contain iron like cast iron, steel, strain-less steel, high carbon steel. Brass on the other hand does not contain any composition. of iron hence it can not be considered as a ferrous alloy. Brass comes under the category of non- ferrous made with a composition of copper and zinc, however their proportion is not strict and we can add other elements like aluminium or lead to alter its durability or corrosiveness.
