True, Uber drivers can be deactivated/fired if they ratings reach a certain point, despite the fact they are still considered “independent contractors”. They still belong to a company.

A rigid 10-L vessel initially contains a mixture of liquid and vapor water at 100 °C, with a quality factor of 0.123. The mixtur

masya89 [10]

Answer:

$Q_{in} = 46.454\,kJ$

Explanation:

The vessel is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics. Let suppose the inexistence of mass interaction at boundary between vessel and surroundings, changes in potential and kinectic energy are negligible and vessel is a rigid recipient.

$Q_{in} = U_{2} - U_{1}$

Properties of water at initial and final state are:

State 1 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 101.42\,kPa$

$T = 100\,^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 675.761\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.123$

State 2 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 476.16\,kPa$

$T = 150\,^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 1643.545\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.525$

The mass stored in the vessel is:

$m = \frac{V}{\nu}$

$m = \frac{10\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }$

$m = 0.048\,kg$

The heat transfer require to the process is:

$Q_{in} = m\cdot (u_{2}-u_{1})$

$Q_{in} = (0.048\,kg)\cdot (1643.545\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 675.761\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )$

$Q_{in} = 46.454\,kJ$

Annealing is a process by which steel is reheated and then cooled to make it less brittle. Consider the reheat stage for a 100-m

zvonat [6]

Answer:

T = 858.25 s

Explanation:

Given data:

Reheat stage for a 100-mm-thick steel plate ( 7830 kg/m3, c 550 J/kg K, k 48 W/m K),

initial uniform temperature ( Ti ) = 200 c

Final temperature = 550 c

convection coefficient = 250 w/m^2 k

products combustion temp = 800 c

calculate how long the plate should be left in the furnace ( to attain 550 c )

first calculate/determine the Fourier series Number ( Fo )

$\frac{T_{0}-T_{x} }{T_{1}-T_{x} } = C_{1} e^{(-0.4888^{2}*Fo )}$

= 0.4167 = $1.0396e^{-0.4888*Fo}$

therefore Fo = 3.8264

Now determine how long the plate should be left in the furnace

Fo = $(\frac{k}{pc_{p} } ) ( \frac{t}{(L/2)^2} )$

k = 48

p = 7830

L = 0.1

Input the values into the relation and make t subject of the formula

hence t = 858.25 s

A 225 MPa conducted in which the mean stress was 50 MPa and the stress amplitude was (a) Compute the maximum and (b) Compute the

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data in question

mean stress = 50 MPa

amplitude stress = 225 MPa

to find out

maximum stress, stress ratio, magnitude of the stress range.

solution

we will find first maximum stress and minimum stress

and stress will be sum of (maximum +minimum stress) / 2

so for stress 50 MPa and 225 MPa

$\sigma _{m}$ = $\sigma _{maximum}$ + $\sigma _{minimum}$ / 2

50 = $\sigma _{maximum}$ + $\sigma _{minimum}$ / 2 ...........1

and

225 = $\sigma _{maximum}$ + $\sigma _{minimum}$ / 2 ...........2

from eqution 1 and 2 we get maximum and minimum stress

$\sigma _{maximum}$ = 275 MPa ............3

and $\sigma _{minimum}$ = -175 MPa ............4

In 2nd part we stress ratio is will compute by ratio of equation 3 and 4

we get ratio = $\sigma _{minimum}$ / $\sigma _{maximum}$

ratio = -175 / 227

ratio = -0.64

now in 3rd part magnitude will calculate by subtracting maximum stress - minimum stress i.e.

magnitude = $\sigma _{maximum}$ - $\sigma _{minimum}$

magnitude = 275 - (-175) = 450 MPa

A storm sewer is carrying snow melt containing 1.2 g/L of sodium chloride into a small stream. The stream has a naturally occurr

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Given Data:

concentration of sewer Csewer = 1.2 g/L

converting into mg/L = Csewer = 1.2 g/L x 1000 mg/g = 1200 mg/L

flow rate of sewer Qsewer = 2000 L/min

concentration of sewer Cstream = 20 mg/L

flow rate of sewer Qstream = 2m3/s

converting Q into L/min = 2m3/s x 1000 x 60 = 120000 L/min
