Explanation:

The Challenger accident made them aware of the risks. They had been a little naive, since it was never believed that such a thing could happen. This, together with Space Shuttle Columbia disaster revealed the risks of the space shuttle program, which also had very high maintenance costs.

A 400-m^3 storage tank is being constructed to hold LNG, liquefied natural gas, which may be assumed to be essentially pure meth

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

mass of LNG: 129501.3388 kg

quality: 0.005048662

Explanation:

Volume occupied by liquid:

400 m^3*0.9 = 360 m^3

Volume occupied by vapor

400 m^3*0.1 = 40 m^3

A figured with thermodynamic properties of saturated methane is attached. Notice that a liquid-gas mixture is present

For liquid phase specific volume (vf) at 150 K is 0.002794 m^3/kg and for vapor phase specific volume (vg) is 0.06118 m^3/kg

From specific volume definition:

vf = liquid volume/liquid mass

liquid mass = liquid volume/vf

liquid mass = 360 m^3/0.002794 m^3/kg

liquid mass = 128847.5304 kg

vg = vapor volume/vapor mass

vapor mass = liquid volume/vg

vapor mass = 40 m^3/0.06118 m^3/kg

vapor mass = 653.8084341 kg

total mass = 128847.5304 kg + 653.8084341 kg = 129501.3388 kg

Quality is defined as the ratio between vapor mass and total mass

quality = 653.8084341 kg/129501.3388 kg = 0.005048662

To provide some perspective on the dimensions of atomic defects, consider a metal specimen that has a dislocation density of 105

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

$62.14\ \text{miles}$

$6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

Explanation:

The distance of the chain would be the product of the dislocation density and the volume of the metal.

Dislocation density = $10^5\ \text{mm}^{-2}$

Volume of the metal = $1000\ \text{mm}^3$

$10^5\times 1000=10^8\ \text{mm}\\ =10^5\ \text{m}$

$1\ \text{mile}=1609.34\ \text{m}$

$\dfrac{10^5}{1609.34}=62.14\ \text{miles}$

The chain would extend $62.14\ \text{miles}$

Dislocation density = $10^{10}\ \text{mm}^{-2}$

Volume of the metal = $1000\ \text{mm}^3$

$10^{10}\times 1000=10^{13}\ \text{mm}\\ =10^{10}\ \text{m}$

$\dfrac{10^{10}}{1609.34}=6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

The chain would extend $6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

What is the following passage saying about the relationship between sustainability and responsibility?

7nadin3 [17]

What the given passage is saying about the relationship between sustainability and responsibility is that;

C: We should only consider products or services to be green if their broad impact can be considered so.

<h3>Sustainability</h3>

From the passage, we see a write up questioning if the things we term to be green are truly green.

Now, from the passage, we see that a biofuel that is considered to be green is not really green if we consider that if it requires massive overproduction, it could wreck the water table.

Also, he says that if the production is local but also wasteful then it is not green.

Thus, we can see clearly that before we term a product or service as green, we should also consider their broad impact on the environment.

Which bulb has the lowest total cost of operation? (a) Incandescent (b) Fluorescent (c) LED

Finger [1]

Answer: LED have the lowest cost of operation.

Explanation:

If we ignore the initial procurement cost of the items the operational cost of any device consuming electricity is given by

$Cost=Energy\times cost/unit$

Among the three item's LED consumes the lowest power to give the same level of brightness as compared to the other 2 item's thus LED's shall have the lowest operational cost.

State five applications of thermochromic materials

rusak2 [61]

Explanation:

The end-use industries of thermochromic materials include packaging, printing & coating, medical, textile, industrial, and others. Printing & coating is the fastest-growing end-use industry of thermochromic materials owing to a significant increase in the demand for thermal paper for POS systems. The use of thermochromic materials is gaining momentum for interactive packaging that encourages consumers to take a product off the shelf and use it.
