Significant figures are an indicator of accuracy. a) True b) False

Engineering
1 answer:
san4es73 [151]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:  False

Explanation: Significant figures are the figure or numbers that display the preciseness. Being precise in the scientific field describes that the measured figures obtained are close to each other.

Significant are those figures which are used for reporting any measurement precisely and correctly whereas accuracy defines that the obtained figure has a value close to any known value. Thus the statement given in the question is false.

A vacuum pump is used to drain a basement of 20 °C water (with a density of 998 kg/m3 ). The vapor pressure of water at this tem
lord [1]

Answer:

The maximum theoretical height that the pump can be placed above liquid level is \Delta h=9.975\,m

Explanation:

To pump the water, we need to avoid cavitation. Cavitation is a phenomenon in which liquid experiences a phase transition into the vapour phase because pressure drops below the liquid's vapour pressure at that temperature.  As a liquid is pumped upwards, it's pressure drops. to see why, let's look at Bernoulli's equation:

\frac{\Delta P}{\rho}+g\, \Delta h +\frac{1}{2}  \Delta v^2 =0

(\rho stands here for density, h for height)

Now, we are assuming that there aren't friction losses here. If we assume further that the fluid is pumped out at a very small rate, the velocity term would be negligible, and we get:

\frac{\Delta P}{\rho}+g\, \Delta h  =0

\Delta P= -g\, \rho\, \Delta h

This means that pressure drop is proportional to the suction lift's height.

We want the pressure drop to be small enough for the fluid's pressure to be always above vapour pressure, in the extreme the fluid's pressure will be almost equal to vapour pressure.

That means:

\Delta P = 2.34\,kPa- 100 \,kPa = -97.66 \, kPa\\

We insert that into our last equation and get:

\frac{ \Delta P}{ -g\, \rho\,}= \Delta h\\\Delta h=\frac{97.66 \, kPa}{998 kg/m^3 \, \, 9.81 m/s^2} \\\Delta h=9.975\,m

And that is the absolute highest height that the pump could bear. This, assuming that there isn't friction on the suction pipe's walls, in reality the height might be much less, depending on the system's pipes and pump.

The air contained in a room loses heat to the surroundings at a rate of 60 kJ/min while work is supplied to the room by computer
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The net amount of energy change of the air in the room during a 10-min period is 120 KJ.

Explanation:

Given that

Heat loss from room (Q)= 60 KJ/min

Work supplied to the room(W) = 1.2 KW = 1.2 KJ/s

We know that  1 W = 1 J/s

Sign convention for heat and work:

1. If heat is added to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is rejected from the system then it is taken as negative.

2. If work is done by the system then it is taken as positive and if work is done on the system then it is taken as negative.

So

Q = -60 KJ/min

In 10 min Q = -600 KJ

W = -1.2 KJ/s

We know that

1 min = 60 s

10 min = 600 s

So   W = -1.2 x 600 KJ

W = -720 KJ

WE know that ,first law of thermodynamics

Q = W + ΔU

-600  =  - 720 + ΔU

ΔU = 120 KJ

The net amount of energy change of the air in the room during a 10-min period is 120 KJ.

In a creep test, increasing the temperature will (choose the best answer) A. increase the instantaneous initial deformation B. i
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

firstly, a creep can be explained as the gradual deformation of a material over a time period. This occurs at a fixed load with the temperature the same or more than the recrystallization temperature.

Once the material gets loaded, the instantaneous creep would start off and it is close to electric strain. in the primary creep area, the rate of the strain falls as the material hardens. in the secondary area, a balance between the hardening and recrystallization occurs. The material would get to be fractured hen recrstallization happens.  As temperature is raised the recrystallization gets to be more.
