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.

Steam enters an adiabatic condenser (heat exchanger) at a mass flow rate of 5.55 kg/s where it condensed to saturated liquid wat

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The minimum mass flow rate will be "330 kg/s".

Explanation:

Given:

For steam,

$m_{s}=5.55 \ kg/s$

$\Delta h=2491 \ kg/kj$

For water,

$\Delta T=10^{\circ}C$

$(Cp)_{w}=4.184 \ kJ/kg^{\circ}C$

They add energy efficiency as condenser becomes adiabatic, with total mass flow rate of minimal vapor,

⇒ $m_{s}\times (\Delta h)=M_{w}\times(Cp)_{w}\times \Delta T$

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒ $5.55\times 2491=M_{w}\times 4.184\times 10\\$

⇒ $13825.05=M_{w}\times 41.84$

⇒ $M_{w}=330 \ kg/s$

A total of 245 kip force is applied to a set of 10 similar bolts. If the spring constant of each bolt is 0.4 Mlb/in and that of

zubka84 [21]

Answer: The net force in every bolt is 44.9 kip

Explanation:

Given that;

External load applied = 245 kip

number of bolts n = 10

External Load shared by each bolt (P_E) = 245/10 = 24.5 kip

spring constant of the bolt Kb = 0.4 Mlb/in

spring constant of members Kc = 1.6 Mlb/in

combined stiffness factor C = Kb / (kb+kc) = 0.4 / ( 0.4 + 1.6) = 0.4 / 2 = 0.2 Mlb/in

Initial pre load Pi = 40 kip

now for Bolts; both pre load Pi and external load P_E are tensile in nature, therefore we add both of them

External Load on each bolt P_Eb = C × PE = 0.2 × 24.5 = 4.9 kip

So Total net Force on each bolt Fb = P_Eb + Pi

Fb = 4.9 kip + 40 kip

Fb = 44.9 kip

Therefore the net force in every bolt is 44.9 kip

Why might construction crews want to install pipes before the foundation is poured

Crazy boy [7]

The answer is choice C

Explanation:

As during construction ,the site is cleared for all debris before laying out the foundation. Even the sewer lines are dug out .

So it will be useful for the construction crews to connect the pipes to the sewer lines before the foundation is poured.

But usually the steps take in construction activity is:- first the site is cleared for the foundation to be poured and once the foundation wall is set , then all utilities , including plumbing and electrical activities are done.,

After this process is over, the city inspector comes to check whether the foundation has been laid down as per the code of construction.

Only after that the rest of the construction activity follows through.
