Answer:

the pressure at a closed valve attached to the tank 10 ft above its bottom is 37.88 psi

Explanation:

Given that;

depth 1 = 71 ft

depth 2 = 10 ft

pressure p = 17 psi = 2448 lb/ft²

depth h = 71 ft - 10 ft = 61 ft

we know that;

p = P_air + yh

where y is the specific weight of ethyl alcohol ( 49.3 lb/ft³ )

so we substitute;

p = 2448 + ( 49.3 × 61 )

= 2448 + 3007.3

= 5455.3 lb/ft³

= 37.88 psi

Therefore, the pressure at a closed valve attached to the tank 10 ft above its bottom is 37.88 psi

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

see explaination

Explanation:

Balanced equation or stoichiometry equation means in a product after reaction there is no unburned carbon compound left or we can say the oxygen is sufficient to combine with all the carbon and hydrogen moleculs to form Carbon-dioxide and water respectively.

The dew point temperature of balanced equation will be 100°c because water vapour bis present in it and it will condense at 100°c at 1 bar pressure while the other products need much lower temperatures to liquify.

Explain three (3) modes of heat transfer in air conditioning system.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

1. Conduction

2. Convection

3. Radiation

Explanation:

The 3 modes of heat transfer i an air conditioning system:

1. Conduction:

The transfer of heat by conduction  takes place in solid and is when the conduction takes place as a result of direct contact in between the interacting material which transfer the heat energy from particle to particle thus conducting the heat through out the system.

2. Convection:

The other mode for the transfer of heat which takes place especially in fluids - gases and liquids is through the technique of convection in which the transfer of heat takes place by the circular motion of the atoms and molecules of the fluid which carries the heat energy and results in the distribution of the heated fluid in the entire system thus transferring all the heat energy in the entire system.

3. Radiation:

The third mode of heat transfer in the air conditioning system is through radiation. This method transfers the heat by making use of the electro-magnetic radiation in the infra red spectrum where the waves of the spectrum transfers the heat energy with the help of a medium or without any medium at all.

Thus making the radiation method of heat transfer as the only method out of the three methods which does not require the material medium for the transfer of heat energy.

What type of bond guarantees that if a contractor goes bankrupt on a project the surety will pay the necessary amount to complet
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: Payment bond.

Explanation:

A payment bond is a type of guaranteed payment provided for a contractor which ensure that all subcontractors, suppliers, workers etc involved in a project will be duly paid. Payment bond usually comes along with performance bond especially in the construction industry, and it is obtained before the commencement of a construction project. This serves as a form of protection for subcontractors.

The principal component in glass manufacturing is_____
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Silica is the principal component in glass.

Explanation:

Step1

Glass is the amorphous solid and transparent. Glass products have many of the shapes and design that are available in market.

Step2

Natural quartz is the primary source of glass in sand. Silica is the principal component in approximately all glass. Lime stone, soda ash and aluminum oxide are added in the galas for desired properties depending upon application. So, silica is the principal component in glass.
