Should the ship breaking business continue why or why not?

Answer:

Ship-breaking or ship demolition is a type of ship disposal involving the breaking up of ships for either a source of parts, which can be sold for re-use, or for the extraction of raw materials, chiefly scrap. It may also be known as ship dismantling, ship cracking, or ship recycling. Modern ships have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years before corrosion, metal fatigue and a lack of parts render them uneconomical to operate.[1] Ship-breaking allows the materials from the ship, especially steel, to be recycled and made into new products. This lowers the demand for mined iron ore and reduces energy use in the steel making process. Fixtures and other equipment on board the vessels can also be reused. While ship-breaking is sustainable, there are concerns about the use of poorer countries without stringent environmental legislation. It is also labor-intensive, and considered one of the world's most dangerous industries.[2]

In 2012, roughly 1,250 ocean ships were broken down, and their average age was 26 years.[3][4] In 2013, the world total of demolished ships amounted to 29,052,000 tonnes, 92% of which were demolished in Asia. As of January 2020, India has the largest global share at 30%;[5] followed by Bangladesh, China and Pakistan.[6] Alang, India currently has the world's largest ship graveyard,[5] followed by Chittagong Ship Breaking Yard in Bangladesh and Gadani in Pakistan.[6]

The largest sources of ships are states of China, Greece and Germany respectively, although there is a greater variation in the source of carriers versus their disposal.[7] The ship-breaking yards of India, Bangladesh, China and Pakistan employ 225,000 workers as well as providing many indirect jobs. In Bangladesh, the recycled steel covers 20% of the country's needs and in India it is almost 10%.[8]

As an alternative to ship-breaking, ships may be sunk to create artificial reefs after legally-mandated removal of hazardous materials, or sunk in deep ocean waters. Storage is a viable temporary option, whether on land or afloat, though all ships will be eventually scrapped, sunk, or preserved for museums.

What is the value of the work interaction in this process?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The answer is "-121\  \frac{KJ}{Kg}".

Explanation:

Please find the correct question in the attachment file.

using formula:

\to W=-P_1V_1+P_2V_2 \\\\When \\\\\to W= \frac{P_1V_1-P_2V_2}{n-1}\ \   or \ \  \frac{RT_1 -RT_2}{n-1}\\\\

W =\frac{R(T_1 -T_2)}{n-1}\\\\

    =\frac{0.287(25 -237)}{1.5-1}\\\\=\frac{0.287(-212)}{0.5}\\\\=\frac{-60.844}{0.5}\\\\=-121.688 \frac{KJ}{Kg}\\\\=-121 \frac{KJ}{Kg}\\\\

g Let the charges start infinitely far away and infinitely far apart. They are placed at (6 cm, 0) and (0, 3 cm), respectively,
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a) V =10¹¹*(1.5q₁ + 3q₂)

b) U = 1.34*10¹¹q₁q₂

Explanation:

Given

x₁ = 6 cm

y₁ = 0 cm

x₂ = 0 cm

y₂ = 3 cm

q₁ = unknown value in Coulomb

q₂ = unknown value in Coulomb

A) V₁ = Kq₁/r₁

where   r₁ = √((6-0)²+(0-0)²)cm = 6 cm = 0.06 m

V₁ = 9*10⁹q₁/(0.06) = 1.5*10¹¹q₁

V₂ = Kq₂/r₂

where   r₂ = √((0-0)²+(3-0)²)cm = 3 cm = 0.03 m

V₂ = 9*10⁹q₂/(0.03) = 3*10¹¹q₂

The electric potential due to the two charges at the origin is

V = ∑Vi = V₁ + V₂ = 1.5*10¹¹q₁ + 3*10¹¹q₂ = 10¹¹*(1.5q₁ + 3q₂)

B) The electric potential energy associated with the system, relative to their infinite initial positions, can be obtained as follows

U = Kq₁q₂/r₁₂

where

r₁₂ = √((0-6)²+(3-0)²)cm = √45 cm = 3√5 cm = (3√5/100) m

then

U = 9*10⁹q₁q₂/(3√5/100)

⇒ U = 1.34*10¹¹q₁q₂

A Pitot-static probe is used to measure the speed of an aircraft flying at 3000 m. If the differential pressure reading is 3200
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Speed of aircraft ; (V_1) = 83.9 m/s

Explanation:

The height at which aircraft is flying = 3000 m

The differential pressure = 3200 N/m²

From the table i attached, the density of air at 3000 m altitude is; ρ = 0.909 kg/m3

Now, we will solve this question under the assumption that the air flow is steady, incompressible and irrotational with negligible frictional and wind effects.

Thus, let's apply the Bernoulli equation :

P1/ρg + (V_1)²/2g + z1 = P2/ρg + (V_2)²/2g + z2

Now, neglecting head difference due to high altitude i.e ( z1=z2 ) and V2 =0 at stagnation point.

We'll obtain ;

P1/ρg + (V_1)²/2g = P2/ρg

Let's make V_1 the subject;

(V_1)² = 2(P1 - P2)/ρ

(V_1) = √(2(P1 - P2)/ρ)

P1 - P2 is the differential pressure and has a value of 3200 N/m² from the question

Thus,

(V_1) = √(2 x 3200)/0.909)

(V_1) = 83.9 m/s

2. Determine the surface area of a primary settling tank sized to handle a maximum hourly flow of 0.570 m3/s at an overflow rate
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The surface area of the primary settling tank is 0.0095 m^2.

The effective theoretical detention time is 0.05 s.

Explanation:

The surface area of the tank is calculated by dividing the volumetric flow rate by the overflow rate.

Volumetric flow rate = 0.570 m^3/s

Overflow rate = 60 m/s

Surface area = 0.570 m^3/s ÷ 60 m/s = 0.0095 m^2

Detention time is calculated by dividing the volume of the tank by the its volumetric flow rate

Volume of the tank = surface area × depth = 0.0095 m^2 × 3 m = 0.0285 m^3

Detention time = 0.0285 m^3 ÷ 0.570 m^3/s = 0.05 s
