Why does the auto industry prefer uniform (national) standards for automobile emissions as opposed to regionally varying standar
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Explanation:

For automobile emission, a uniform standard is preferred, because no unnecessary advantage is given by it to any company that is located in particular states where the regional standards are less severe.

Since pollution has its impact across the states and in the whole of the USA, then there should be uniform standards across all the states. It will also invalidate the impact of regional standards as a factor in the selection of plant locations for the automobile company. It means that a state offering less valid emission standards, will attract more companies to herself and it will be against the other states who care more about the natural environment. It can make more states to opt for the permissive emission standards, that will be more harmful to the USA as a country, than the good. So, a uniform standard is preferred to eliminate it as a factor in plant location decisions.

Yes, uniform standards are beneficial to everyone, because it will bring effective control upon the pollution level because there will be no state where the culprit firm can hide. Besides, it is more effective as efforts done towards environment conservation.

The exhaust steam from a power station turbine is condensed in a condenser operating at 0.0738 bar(abs). The surface of the heat
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Percentage change 5.75 %.

Explanation:Given ;

Given

 Pressure of condenser =0.0738 bar

Surface temperature=20°C

Now from steam table

Properties of steam at 0.0738 bar  

Saturation temperature corresponding to saturation pressure =40°C      

 h_f= 167.5\frac{KJ}{Kg},h_g= 2573.5\frac{KJ}{Kg}

So Δh=2573.5-167.5=2406 KJ/kg

Enthalpy of condensation=2406 KJ/kg

So total heat=Sensible heat of liquid+Enthalpy of condensation

Total\ heat\ =C_p\Delta T+\Delta h

Total heat =4.2(40-20)+2406

Total heat=2,544 KJ/kg

Now film coefficient before inclusion of sensible heat

  h_1=\dfrac{\Delta h}{\Delta T}

  h_1=\dfrac{2406}{20}

h_1=120.3\frac{KJ}{kg-m^2K}

Now film coefficient after inclusion of sensible heat

 h_2=\dfrac{total\ heat}{\Delta T}

 h_2=\dfrac{2,544}{20}

h_2=127.2\frac{KJ}{kg-m^2K}

So\ Percentage\ change=\dfrac{h_2-h_1}{h_1}\times 100

             =\dfrac{127.2-120.3}{120.3}\times 100

                   =5.75 %

So Percentage change 5.75 %.

Some organizations prohibit workers from bringing certain kinds of devices into the workplace, such as cameras, cell phones, and
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Personal computers:

Personal computers may be useful and lead to productivity as using a computer an employee familiars with is a good thing. However, the disadvantages in some facilities especially ones dealing with customer and information security can include data theft, unauthorized data sharing, uses of internet connection for personal purposes, as this can slow down internet connection at the facility, distraction at work place etc.

Hard drive:

Due to large amount of data that can be stored on a hard drive, it might not be allowed in some facilities to avoid data theft and unauthorized transfer.

Music players:

This might be restricted to avoid distraction at work. Noice in places such as libraries would cause abnormality and poor service delivery. An employee with loud speaker at work would not only distracts himself but also other staffs and customers.

PSP Game Device and other game devices:

Playing games during working hour may jeopardize the productivity and therefore might be resctrited in some facilities and working places.

Electronic digital notepad:

Carrying a handheld electronic digital notepad to the work place can cause lack of concentration and division of attention on work and other personal activities. These can harm working harmony and business productivity.

Video recorder:

In some facilities, this device might not be allowed due to facility privacy and protection from unwanted navigation.

The heat rate is essentially the reciprocal of the thermal efficiency. a)- True b)- False
jeyben [28]

Answer:

a). TRUE

Explanation:

Thermal efficiency of a system is the defined as the ratio of the net work done to the total heat input to the system. It is a dimensionless quantity.

Mathematically, thermal efficiency is

        η =  net work done / heat input

While heat rate is  the reciprocal of efficiency. It is defined as the ratio of heat supplied to the system to the useful work done.

Mathematically, heat rate is

       Heat rate = heat input / net work done

Thus from above we can see that heat rate is the reciprocal of thermal efficiency.

Thus, Heat rate is reciprocal of thermal efficiency.
