Answer: overall composition ⇒ 87 wt% { AL₂O₃] + 13% wt { SiO₂}

Explanation:

Given that;

from the phase diagram SiO₂ - Al₂O₃

alumina at 1400°C

mullite + alumina ranges from 74 - 100% wt

so for 50% mullite and 50wt% alumina

we have;

50/100 = 100 - x /  100 - 74

0.5 = 100 - x / 26

0.5 × 26 = 100 - x

13 = 100 - x

x = 100 - 13

x = 87 wt% { AL₂O₃]

[ 100% - 87% = 13%] 13% wt SiO₂

So overall composition ⇒ 87 wt% { AL₂O₃] + 13% wt { SiO₂}

Sheet metal cutting operation along a straight line between two cutting edges is called Shearing Operation's. a)- True b)-False
AURORKA [14]

Answer: True

Explanation: The process in sheet metal which separates the metal sheet in straight line by cutting is known as shearing operation.The process of shearing is carried out by application of shearing forces on the metal sheet. this operation separates the metal sheet into two parts by the edges. They have the certain limited tolerance. Therefore the given statement in the question is true.

Why are scientists and engineers looking for ways to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels? Help
Alchen [17]
Fossil fuels when burned let out toxins and pollution in the air. Because of that scientists and engineers work together to find ways to not be so dependent on fossil fuels so we are not polluting our air.

Technician A says that latent heat is hidden heat and cannot be measured on a thermometer. Technician B says that latent heat is
AysviL [449]

Answer: C

Both A and B are correct

Explanation:

Latent heat is the hidden heat.

Latent heat is the heat energy required to change one state of matter to another state of matter without change in temperature. For example, solid state to liquid state, or liquid state to gaseous state.

Thermometer can not detect the latent heat. That is why it is called hidden heat.

If Technician A says that latent heat is hidden heat and cannot be measured on a thermometer. And Technician B says that latent heat is hidden heat that is required for a change of state of matter, then we can therefore conclude that both Technician A and Technician B are correct.

A 1:50 scale model of a ship is towed at 4.8 km/hr using a force of 9 N. If we assume the same fluid in the model as in the prot
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

A: density and gravity

Explanation:

The Froude Number is defined as a dimensionless parameter that measures the ratio of the force of inertia on an element of fluid to the weight of the fluid element. In simple terms, it's the force of inertia divided by the gravitational force.

Froudes number is usually expressed as;

Fr = v/√(gd)

Where;

Fr = froude number

v = velocity

g = gravitational acceleration = specific weight/density

d = depth of flow

Now, to calculate the corresponding speed and force in the prototype, it means we have to use equal froude number and thus this will mean that it has to be dominated by gravity and density.

Consider a Carnot refrigeration cycle executed in a closed system in the saturated liquid–vapor mixture region using 1.06 kg of
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

P_m_i_n = 442KPA

Explanation:

We are given:

m = 1.06Kg

T_H = 1.2T_L

T = 22kj

Therefore we need to find coefficient performance or the cycle

COP_R = \frac {1}{(T_R/T_l) -1}

= \frac {1 }{1.2-1}

= 5

For the amount of heat absorbed:

Q_l = COP_R Wm

= 5 × 22 = 110KJ

For the amount of heat rejected:

Q_H = Q_L + W_m

= 110 + 22 = 132KJ

[tex[ q_H = \frac{Q_L}{m} [/tex];

= = \frac{132}{1.06}

= 124.5KJ

Using refrigerant table at hfg = 124.5KJ/Kg we have 69.5°c

Convert 69.5°c to K we have 342.5K

To find the minimum temperature:

T_L = \frac{T_H}{1.2};

T_L = \frac{342.5}{1.2}

= 285.4K

Convert to °C we have 12.4°C

From the refrigerant R -134a table at T_L = 12.4°c we have 442KPa
