Answer: $17,206.13

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:  

Annual electricity cost = (P x 0.746 x Ckwh x h) /η  

P = compressor power = 78 hp  

0.746 kw/hp= constant (conversion to kw)

Ckwh = Cost per kilowatt hour = $0.11/kWh  

h = operating hours per year = 2500 h  

η = efficiency = 93% = 0.93 (decimal form)  

Replacing with the values given :  

C = ( 78 hp x 0.746 kw/hp x 0.11 $/kwh x 2500 h ) / 0.93 = $17,206.13

Write using about 10-15 lines for each of the six materials (metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, composites, and semiconductors
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

See Answer below- Explanation is the entire answer

Explanation:

Metals:

Properties: Ductile, good heat conductivity, good electrical conductivity, high strength;

Drawbacks: Relatively high weight, reactive with oxygen to create oxides- corrosion is presented;

Examples: steel, aluminum alloys, brass, copper, titanium

Applications: Body of the vehicles, structures in the skyscrapers, cooking pots.

Ceramics:

Properties: Brittle, poor heat conductors, poor electrical conductors, high wear resistance, corrosion resistance;

Drawbacks: Deforms by fracturing, shock resistance is low, no conductivity of electricity;

Examples: concrete, tungsten carbide, diamond

Applications: bricks for constructions, clay pots to keep heat, cutting tools for metals;

Glasses:

Properties: amorphous, transparent, high weight

Drawbacks: poor conductors of heat and electricity; brittle; low shock resistance;

Examples: Silica, lead glass, glaze;

Applications: windows, protection screens;

Polymers:

Properties: low density, recyclable, poor heat and electrical conductors, plastic deformation;

Drawbacks: low strength, low operating temperatures;

Examples: polyethylene, nylon, ABS-plastic, rubber;

Applications: toys, tires, insulation covers for the wires.

Composites:

Properties: high strength to weight ratio, can get combination of properties from the used materials, rarely conductive, good shock resistance;

Drawbacks: high cost, hard to recycle, expensive;

Examples: steel-reinforced concrete, carbon fiber, fiber glass, Nomex, sandwich roof panels;

Applications: buildings, bullet proof vests, body of the Formula 1 cars, rockets, roof panels.

Semiconductors:

Properties: brittle, change conductive behavior under certain scenario, poor heat conductors;

Drawbacks: hard to manufacture, expensive;

Examples: Silicon-based semiconductors, Germanium-based semiconductors, Ga-based semiconductors;

Applications: chips, LED, diodes, transistors, op-amps, microprocessors.

Why is the face of the claw on a claw hammer usually a smooth curve? Why isn't it straight or some other shape?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The face of the claw on the claw hammer is usually a smooth curve so as to improve the ease with which nails are removed when removing nails because as the nail held between the V shaped split claw is being pulled out from the wood, it slides more and more towards cheek, reducing the distance of the nail from the cheek which is the fulcrum, thereby increasing the mechanical advantage because the location of the hand on the grip remains unchanged

2. A thin vertical panel L = 3 m high and w = 1.5 m wide is thermally insulated on one side and exposed to a solar radiation flu
n200080 [17]

Answer: 383.22K

Explanation:

L = 3m, w = 1.5m

Area A = 3 x 1.5 = 4.5m2

Q' = 750W/m2 (heat from sun) ,

& = 0.87

Q = &Q' = 0. 87x750 = 652.5W/m2

E = QA = 652.5 x 4.5 = 2936.25W

T(sur) = 300K, T(panel) = ?

Using E = §€A(T^4(panel) - T^4(sur))

§ = Stefan constant = 5.7x10^-8

€ = emmisivity = 0.85

2936.25 = 5.7x10^-8 x 0.85 x 4.5 x (T^4(panel) - 300^4)

T(panel) = 383.22K

Daniel Wiseman, a scientist for Gres-Trans Corp., wants to determine if the flow rate of a particular material changes with diff
kiruha [24]

Answer: C. There is no relationship

Explanation:

At the various temperatures, the flow rates do not seem to show any relation as similar temperatures can yield different flow rates.

The flow rates neither appear to generally increase nor decrease as a result of a decrease or an increase in temperature which means that there is a lack of a positive, negative and curvilinear relationship.

There is simply no relationship.
