Explanation:

Engineering is science in practical terms. It is the application of scientific findings in problem solving and creating a better world.

How does technological advancements create more problems for engineers?

Loss of job to automation: the world is driving at automating work processes through the use of specially designed and crafted machinery. Work is now properly being done using machines with little to no human input in the whole process. This is a huge let off for engineers. Engineers have to compete with machines which are their own inventions for jobs now.
Fast paced work environment: machines can handle work more efficiently and faster than the people making them. There is an increasing race between engineers and their own inventions today for better product delivery. Unless a machine is faulty, they are more productive and efficient than man. This can cause engineers to want to catch up with their own inventions leading to a work life of stress.
Environmental problems they cannot solve: most inventions use components from the environment. They release effluents that are very difficult to be properly disposed or stored. This is a huge problem for engineers and can lead to ethical calls from the government and the populace. In short, they can create problems they are expected to solve but cannot solve.
Social problems: engineers can be portrayed as terrible beings for their own inventions. This leads to psychological problems on a good and creative invention. For example, rare earth metals in DR Congo are instrumental in making solar panels, but mining of these metals have forced several thousands of people into hard and intense labor on mines; there is a call on technological firms to stop exploiting people this way for their own gains.
Misuse of technology: any good technology can be put into the wrong use. A nuclear reaction can be packaged into a bomb and also, it can be the center of electricity generation on a commercial scale. How can engineers solve this kind of problem? Technological inventions are subjective in their usage.

Water flows at a rate of 10 gallons per minute in a new horizontal 0.75?in. diameter galvanized iron pipe. Determine the pressur

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

$\frac{\delta p }{l} = 30.4 lb/ft^3$

Explanation:

Given data:

flow rate = 10 gallon per minute = 0.0223 ft^3/sec

diameter = 0.75 inch

we know discharge is given as

Q = VA

solve for velocity V = \frac{Q}{A}[/tex]

$V = \frac{0.223}{\frac{\pi}{4} \frac{0.75}{12}}$

V = 7.27 ft/sec

we know that Reynold number

$Re = \frac{VD}{\nu}$

$Re = \frac{7.27 \times \frac{0.75}{12}}{1.21\times 10^{-5}}$

$Re = 3.76 \times 10^4$

calculate the $\frac{\epsilon }{D}$ ratio to determine the fanning friction f

$\frac{\epsilon }{D} = \frac{0.0005}{\frac{0.75}{12}} = 0.008$

from moody diagram f value corresonding to Re and $\frac{\epsilon }{D}$ is 0.037

for horizontal pipe

$\delta p = \frac{f l \rho v^2}{2D}$

$\frac{\delta p }{l} = \frac{1 \times 0.037 \times 1.94 \times 7.27}{\frac{0.75}{12}}$

where 1.94 slug/ft^3is density of water

$\frac{\delta p }{l} = 30.4 lb/ft^3$

Define an ADT for a two-dimensional array of integers. Specify precisely the basic operations that can be performed on such arra

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Explanation:

ADT for an 2-D array:

struct array{

int arr[10];

}arrmain[10];

An application that stores an array with 1000 rows and 1000 columns, where less than 10,000 of the array values are non-zero. The two different implementations for such arrays that would be more space efficient than a standard two-dimensional array implementation requiring one million positions are :

1) struct array{

int *p;

}arr[1000];

2) struct array{

int *p;

}arr[1000];
