Answer:

Sensor/transducer: bimetallic thermometer

Output: displacement of thermometer tip

Control Tstages: mercury contact switch (open:furnace off; closed:furnace on

Explanation:

for a standard room thermostat : This is the device that sets/determines the temperature of an enclosure.

Sensor/transducer: bimetallic thermometer: Bimetalic thermometer are used for measuring the temperature of the ambient air . bimetallic thermometer actually contains two metals. they undergo linear expansivity as the temperature of the room changes.in other words, they experience contraction and expansion with increase or decrease in temperature.The sensor is basically coupled with a transducer which turns the measured variable(Temperature) into something else, such as a movement on a dial or an electrical signal

Output: displacement of thermometer tip

Controller: mercury contact switch (open:furnace off; closed:furnace on)

once the contact switch is open the furnace can go off. when the contact switch is closed, the furnace will come up.

Cavitation in pump assemblies can be avoided by decreasing tank pressure. a)-True b)-False

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

a) True

Explanation:

Cavitation in a pump occurs when the pressure of the liquid inside the pump suction is less than the vapour pressure at the suction. And also when the pump discharge pressure is extremely high.

Therefore cavitation in the pump assemblies can be avoided by decreasing the tank pressure because discharge cavitation takes place when the pressure at the pump discharge is extremely high. High pressure at the discharge end of the pump prevents the water from flowing easily out, thereby recirculating the water within the pump which causes cavitation. So when the tank pressure is low, the pump discharge pressure will be low thus avoiding cavitation.

A tensile test was made on a tensile specimen, with a cylindrical gage section which had a diameter of 10 mm, and a length of 40

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The answers are as follow:

a) 10 mm

b) 12.730 N/ $mm^{2}$

c) 127.307 N/ $mm^{2}$

d) 0.25

Explanation:

d1 = 10mm , L1 = 40 mm, L2 = 50 mm, reduction in area = 90% = 0.9

Force = F =1000 N

let us find initial area first, A1 = pi* $r^{2}$ = 78.55 $mm^{2}$

using reduction in area formula : 0.9 = (A1 - A2 ) / A1

solving it will give, A2 = 0.1 A1 = 7.855 $mm^{2}$

a) The specimen elongation is final length - initial length

50 - 40 = 10 mm

b) Engineering stress uses the original area for all stress calculations,

Engineering stress = force / original area = F / A1 = 1000 / 78.55

Engineering stress = 12.730 $N / mm^{2}$

c) True stress uses instantaneous area during stress calculations,

True fracture stress = force / final area = F / A2 = 1000 / 7.855

True Fracture stress = 127.30 $N / mm^{2}$

e) strain = change in length / original length

strain = 10 / 40 = 0.25

When using an alternative method of sizing with two vent connectors for draft hood-equipped water heaters, the effective area of

amid [387]

Answer:

Fifty (50) percent.<em> [50%] </em>

Explanation:

Water heater is a home appliance that comprises of an electric or gas heating unit as well as a water-tank where water is heated and stored for use.

When using an alternative method of sizing with two vent connectors for draft hood-equipped water heaters, the effective area of the common vent connector or vent manifold and all junction fittings shall not be less than the area of the larger vent connector plus fifty (50) percent of the areas of smaller flue collar outlets.

A water heater is primarily vented with an approved and standardized plastic or metallic pipe such as flue or chimney, which allows gas to flow out of the water heater into the surrounding environment.

For a draft hood-equipped water heater, both the water heater and the barometric draft regulators must be installed in the same room. Also, the technician should ensure that the vent is through a concealed space such as conduit and should be labeled as Type L or Type B.

The minimum capacity of a water heater should be calculated based on the number of bathrooms, bedrooms and its first hour rating.
