Answer:

The required power is P_i = 0.2692 \ hp

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The temperature of the water entering ice machine is T_1 =  55 ^o F

    The temperature of the water leaving is T_2 = 25 ^oF

    The COP of the ice machine is COP= 3.7

    The production rate of an ice  \r m = 15.0 \ lbm /hr

    The energy that needs to removed from each lbm of water at 55 F is E = 169 Btu

Generally the cooling load of the ice machine is mathematically represented as

       \r Q_L =  \r m * E

      \r Q_L =15 * 169

=>  \r Q_L = 2535 \ Btu/h

Generally the COP of the ice machine is mathematically represented as

       COP =  \frac{\r Q_L}{P_i}

Here P_i is the net power  input needed to successfully run the ice machine

So  

     3.7 =  \frac{2535}{P_i}

=>   P_i = 685 \  Btu/h

Converting to horsepower

      P_i = \frac{685}{2545}

=>   P_i = 0.2692 \ hp

Two different sources of radiation give the same dose equivalent in Sv. Does this mean that the radiation from each source has t
Alisiya [41]

The product of the dosage Gy and relative biological efficiency yields a radiation dose equivalent Sv (RBE).

Sv =dose in Gy * RBE Sv=dose in GyRBE

The quantity of ionising energy absorbed by 1 text kg1 kg of tissue is defined as a radiation dose Gy. While RBE is a measure of a specific dose's biological effect relative to the biological effect of an equal quantity of X rays.

<h3>What is radiation?</h3>

Radiation is energy that moves through space at the speed of light from a source. This energy is coupled with an electric and magnetic field, and it exhibits wave-like qualities. Radiation is sometimes known as "electromagnetic waves."

Nature has a diverse variety of electromagnetic radiation. One example is visible light.

X-rays and gamma rays are extremely energetic. They may take electrons from atoms when they engage with them, causing the atom to become ionised.

During a tennis serve, a racket is given an angular acceleration of magnitude 150 rad/s^2. At the top of the serve, the racket h
QveST [7]

Answer:

270 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

α = 150 rad/s²

ω = 12.0 rad/s

r = 1.30 m

Find:

a

The acceleration will have two components: a radial component and a tangential component.

The tangential component is:

at = αr

at = (150 rad/s²)(1.30 m)

at = 195 m/s²

The radial component is:

ar = v² / r

ar = ω² r

ar = (12.0 rad/s)² (1.30 m)

ar = 187.2 m/s²

So the magnitude of the total acceleration is:

a² = at² + ar²

a² = (195 m/s²)² + (187.2 m/s²)²

a = 270 m/s²
