Why is it important to always be wearing a personal flotation device (PFD) when in or around the water?

Engineering
2 answers:
oee [108]3 years ago

The correct answer is C. A PFD takes some time to fit properly especially in an emergency.

Explanation:

The purpose of a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) such as a life jacket is to keep people floating to prevent drowning. Additionally, its effectiveness depends on whether the Personal Floating Device was fitted properly. Because of this, if an activity involves being in or around water, it is important to wear a Personal Flotation Device and to fit this properly before approaching the water because it is difficult to adjust the device during an emergency. Thus, it is important to wear a PFD in or around water because this takes some time to fit properly (Option C.)

aksik [14]

Answer:

Tmax=14.5MPa

Tmin=10.3MPa

Explanation:

T = 600 * 0.15 = 90N.m

T_max =\frac{T_c}{j}  = \frac{x}{y}  = \frac{90 \times 0.0175}{\frac{\pi}{2} \times (0.0175^4-0.0125^4)}

=14.5MPa

T_{min} =\frac{T_c}{j}  = \frac{x}{y}  = \frac{90 \times 0.0125}{\frac{\pi}{2} \times (0.0175^4-0.0125^4)}

=10.3MPa

Steam at a pressure of 100 bar and temperature of 600 °C enters an adiabatic nozzle with a velocity of 35 m/s. It leaves the noz
butalik [34]

Answer:

Exit velocity V_2=1472.2 m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

At inlet:

P_1=100 bar,T_=600°C,V_1=35m/s

Properties of steam at 100 bar and 600°C

        h_1=3624.7\frac{KJ}{Kg}

At exit:Lets take exit velocity V_2

We know that if we know only one property inside the dome  then we will find the other property by using steam property table.

Given that dryness or quality of steam at the exit of nozzle  is 0.85 and pressure P=80 bar.So from steam table we can find the other properties.

Properties of saturated steam at 80 bar

   h_f= 1316.61\frac{KJ}{Kg} ,h_g= 2757.8\frac{KJ}{Kg}

So the enthalpy of steam at the exit of turbine  

h_2=h_f+x(h_g-h_f)\frac{KJ}{Kg}

h_2=1316.61+0.85(2757.8-1316.61)\frac{KJ}{Kg}

 h_2=2541.62\frac{KJ}{Kg}

Now from first law for open system

h_1+\dfrac{V_1^2}{2}+Q=h_2+\dfrac{V_2^2}{2}+w

In the case of adiabatic nozzle Q=0,W=0

3624.7+\dfrac{35^2}{2000}+0=2541.62+\dfrac{(V_2)^2}{2000}+0

V_2=1472.2 m/s

So Exit velocity V_2=1472.2 m/s.

Considering the analogy between electrical circuit and thermal circuit, show your approach to derive an expression for the therm
Simora [160]

Answer:

Thermal resistance for a wall depends on the material, the thickness of the wall and the cross-section area.

Explanation:

Current flow and heat flow are very similar when we are talking about 1-dimensional energy transfer. Attached you can see a picture we can use to describe the heat flow between the ends of the wall. First of all, a temperature difference is required to flow heat from one side to the other, just like voltage is required for current flow.  You can also see that R_{th} represents the thermal resistance. The next image explains more about the parameters which define the value of the thermal resistances which are the following:

  1. Wall Thickness.  More thickness, more thermal resistance.
  2. Material thermal conductivity (unique value for each material). More conductivity, less thermal resistance.
  3. Cross-section Area. More cross-section area, less thermal resistance.

A expression to define  the thermal resistance for the wall is as follows:  R_{th} =\frac{l}{Ak}, where  l is the distance between the tow sides of the wall, that is to say the wall thickness; A is the cross-section area and k is the material conducitivity.

A cylindrical specimen of a hypothetical metal alloy is stressed in compression. If its original and final diameters are 19.636
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The original length of the specimen is found to be 76.093 mm.

Explanation:

From the conservation of mass principal, we know that the volume of the specimen must remain constant. Therefore, comparing the volumes of both initial and final state as state 1 and state 2:

Initial Volume = Final Volume

πd1²L1/4 = πd2²L2/4

d1²L1 = d2²L2

L1 = d2²L2/d1²

where,

d1 = initial diameter = 19.636 mm

d2 = final diameter = 19.661 mm

L1 = Initial Length = Original Length = ?

L2 = Final Length = 75.9 mm

Therefore, using values:

L1 = (19.661 mm)²(75.9 mm)/(19.636 mm)²

<u>L1 = 76.093 mm</u>
