Explanation:

Probiotics are a combination of live beneficial bacteria and/or yeasts that naturally live in your body. Bacteria is usually viewed in a negative light as something that makes you sick. However, you have two kinds of bacteria constantly in and on your body — good bacteria and bad bacteria.

Using a harmless strain of E. coli that colonizes the liver, the researchers programmed the bacteria to produce a luminescent signal that can be detected with a simple urine test.

Which regulations are related to guard rail height and dimensions and uniformity of stairs?

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

structural safety

Explanation:

Guards protecting floor surfaces must be 36 inches in height, while guards for stairs must be 34 inches in height measured vertically from the tread nosing. A guard may also serve as the required handrail (34 to 38 inches high) provided the top rail meets the requirements for grip size.

A single-phase transformer circuit feeds a motor and lighting load of 50 kilowatts. At a power factor of .8, the KVA rating of t

AveGali [126]

The KVA rating of the step down transformer at the given power factor would be 62.5 kVA.

<h3>What is power factor of a transformer?</h3>

Power factor (PF) is the ratio of working power, measured in kilowatts (kW), to apparent power, measured in kilovolt amperes (kVA).

PF = working power / apparent power

PF = kW/kVA

kVA = kW/PF

kVA = 50 kW/0.8

kVA = 62.5 kVA

Thus, the KVA rating of the step down transformer at the given power factor would be 62.5 kVA.

Answer:

a) $\eta_{th} = 10.910\,\%$ , b) Yes.

Explanation:

a) The maximum thermal efficiency is given by the Carnot's Cycle, whose formula is:

$\eta_{th} =\left(1-\frac{253.15\,K}{284.15\,K} \right) \times 100\,\%$

$\eta_{th} = 10.910\,\%$

b) The claim of the inventor is possible since real efficiency is lower than maximum thermal efficiency.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

☐ NE-SW

Explanation:

Based on the description, the rock direction is North East - South West (NE-SW). Rocks generally can expand or compress depending on the type and magnitude of stress applied on the rocks. However, if the applied stress is sufficiently high, cracks and fractures will be created on the rock and it can ultimately lead to the formation of particles.

A tubular reactor has been sized to obtain 98% conversion and to process 0.03 m^3/s. The reaction is a first-order irreversible

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The conversion in the real reactor is = 88%

Explanation:

conversion = 98% = 0.98

process rate = 0.03 m^3/s

length of reactor = 3 m

cross sectional area of reactor = 25 dm^2
