Answer:

Explanation:

CO, carbon monoxide is a toxic gas. It casues asphixiation on people and animals by interfering with hemoglobin, not allowing blood to transport oxygen to the cells in the body.

The normal emissions resulting from the combustion of fussil fuels are CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water). Carbon monoxide is formed by an incomplete combustion of fossil fuels or carbon containing fuels in general, this not only produces toxic gas, but also is an inefficient combustion that wastes energy.

2.) A fluid moves in a steady manner between two sections in a flow

Talja [164]

Answer:

$250\ \text{lbm/min}$

$625\ \text{ft/min}$

Explanation:

$A_1$ = Area of section 1 = $10\ \text{ft}^2$

$V_1$ = Velocity of water at section 1 = 100 ft/min

$v_1$ = Specific volume at section 1 = $4\ \text{ft}^3/\text{lbm}$

$\rho$ = Density of fluid = $0.2\ \text{lb/ft}^3$

$A_2$ = Area of section 2 = $2\ \text{ft}^2$

Mass flow rate is given by

$m=\rho A_1V_1=\dfrac{A_1V_1}{v_1}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{10\times 100}{4}\\\Rightarrow m=250\ \text{lbm/min}$

The mass flow rate through the pipe is $250\ \text{lbm/min}$

As the mass flowing through the pipe is conserved we know that the mass flow rate at section 2 will be the same as section 1

$m=\rho A_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{m}{\rho A_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{250}{0.2\times 2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=625\ \text{ft/min}$

The speed at section 2 is $625\ \text{ft/min}$ .

Westkost [7]

Metallic glasses are sometimes formed when molten metal is cooled too fast for its atoms to arrange themselves in a structured, crystalline order. "The material can't decide which crystalline structure it wants to converge to, and a metallic glass emerges
