Answer:

Electric current is the movement of electrons through a wire. Electric current is measured in amperes (amps) and refers to the number of charges that move through the wire per second. If we want current to flow directly from one point to another, we should use a wire that has as little resistance as possible.Current is directly proportional to voltage, inversely proportional to resistance. One of the most common electrical measurements you'll use is the watt, a unit of electrical power: W (Watts) = E (Volts) x I (Amperes). The quantity of electric charge is measured in coulombs.They can even pass through bones and teeth. This makes gamma rays very dangerous. They can destroy living cells, produce gene mutations, and cause cancer.

Answer:

<h2>An electric current is a stream of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space. It is measured as the net rate of flow of electric charge through a surface or into a control volume.</h2>

The heat transfer coefficient decreases with increasing x for both the laminar and turbulent regions a. True b. False

REY [17]

Answer:

A) True

Explanation:

Yes this is true when length is creases the heat transfer coefficient decease with length.

The heat transfer(h) coefficient is varying with x by given expression

For Laminar flow

$h \alpha \dfrac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

For turbulent flow

$h \alpha \dfrac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{5}}}$

But when flow is in transitional state the heat heat transfer(h) coefficient is increases with x.But for laminar as well as turbulent flow h is decrease when x increases.

Prefix version of 6600 volts

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

6.6 kilo volts = 6.6 k volts

Explanation:

A prefix is a word, number or a letter that is added before another word. In physics we have different prefixes for the exponential powers of 10, that are placed before units in place of those powers. Some examples are:

deci (d) ------ 10⁻¹

centi (c) ------ 10⁻²

milli (m) ------ 10⁻³

kilo (k) ------ 10³

mega (M) ----- 10⁶

giga (G) ------ 10⁹

We have:

6600 volts

converting to exponential form:

=> 6.6 x 10³ volts

Thus, we know that the prefix of kilo (k) is used for 10³.

Hence,

=> 6.6 kilo volts = 6.6 k volts

The hot and cold inlet temperatures to a concentric tube heat exchanger are Th,i = 200°C, Tc,i = 100°C, respectively. The outlet

alexgriva [62]

Answer:Counter,

0.799,

1.921

Explanation:

Given data

$T_{h_i}=200^{\circ}C$

$T_{h_o}=120^{\circ}C$

$T_{c_i}=100^{\circ}C$

$T_{c_o}=125^{\circ}C$

Since outlet temperature of cold liquid is greater than hot fluid outlet temperature therefore it is counter flow heat exchanger

Equating Heat exchange

$m_hc_{ph}\left [ T_{h_i}-T_{h_o}\right ]=m_cc_{pc}\left [ T_{c_o}-T_{c_i}\right ]$

$\frac{m_hc_{ph}}{m_cc_{pc}}$ = $\frac{125-100}{200-120}=\frac{25}{80}=C\left ( capacity rate ratio\right )$

we can see that heat capacity of hot fluid is minimum

Also from energy balance

$Q=UA\Delta T_m=\left ( mc_p\right )_{h}\left ( T_{h_i}-T_{h_o}\right )$

$NTU=\frac{UA}{\left ( mc_p\right )_{h}}$ = $\frac{\left ( T_{h_i}-T_{h_o}\right )}{T_m}$

$T_m=\frac{\left ( 200-125\right )-\left ( 120-100\right )}{\ln \frac{75}{20}}$

$T_m=41.63^{\circ}C$

NTU=1.921

$And\ effectiveness \epsilon =\frac{1-exp\left ( -NTU\left ( 1-c\right )\right )}{1-c\left ( -NTU\left ( 1-c\right )\right )}$

$\epsilon =\frac{1-exp\left ( -1.921\left ( 1-0.3125\right )\right )}{1-0.3125exp\left ( -1.921\left ( 1-0.3125\right )\right )}$

$\epsilon =\frac{1-exp\left ( -1.32068\right )}{1-0.3125exp\left ( -1.32068\right )}$

$\epsilon =\frac{1-0.2669}{1-0.0834}$

$\epsilon =0.799$

Which is the better measure of computer system performance—a benchmark, such as SPECINT; or a processor speed measure, such as G

Vesna [10]

Answer:

A benchmark

Explanation:

Most times a benchmark serves as the better measure when assessing a computer's performance, this is because CPU speeds can only evaluate an aspect of a computer's performance whereas a benchmark offers the advantage of measuring all the aspects of a computer's performance for a specific type of computing problem.

Tensile Strength (MPa) Number-Average Molecular Weight (g/mol)

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

$\mathbf{T_{S \infty } \ \approx 215.481 \ MPa}$

$\mathbf{M_n = 49163.56431 \ g/mol }$

Explanation:

The question can be well structured in a table format as illustrated below:

Tensile Strength (MPa) Number- Average Molecular Weight (g/mol)

82 12,700

156 28,500

The tensile strength and number-average molecular weight for two polyethylene materials given above.

Estimate the number-average molecular weight that is required to give a tensile strength required above. Using the data given find TS (infinity) in MPa.

SOLUTION:

We know that :

$T_S = T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{M_n}$

where;

$T_S$ = Tensile Strength

$T_{S \infty}$ = Tensile Strength (Infinity)

$M_n$ = Number- Average Molecular Weight (g/mol)

SO;

$82= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{12700} ---- (1)$

$156= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{28500} ---- (2)$

From equation (1) ; collecting the like terms; we have :

$T_{S \infty} =82+ \dfrac{A}{12700}$

From equation (2) ; we have:

$T_{S \infty} =156+ \dfrac{A}{28500}$

So; $T_{S \infty} = T_{S \infty}$

Then;

$T_{S \infty} =82+ \dfrac{A}{12700} =156+ \dfrac{A}{28500}$

Solving by L.C.M

$\dfrac{82(12700) + A}{12700} =\dfrac{156(28500) + A}{28500}$

$\dfrac{1041400 + A}{12700} =\dfrac{4446000 + A}{28500}$

By cross multiplying ; we have:

$({4446000 + A})* {12700} ={28500} *({1041400 + A})$

$(5.64642*10^{10} + 12700A) =(2.96799*10^{10}+ 28500A)$

Collecting like terms ; we have

$(5.64642*10^{10} - 2.96799*10^{10} ) =( 28500A- 12700A)$

$2.67843*10^{10} = 15800 \ A$

Dividing both sides by 15800:

$\dfrac{ 2.67843*10^{10} }{15800} =\dfrac{15800 \ A}{15800}$

A = 1695208.861

From equation (1);

$82= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{12700} ---- (1)$

Replacing A = 1695208.861 in the above equation; we have:

$82= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{1695208.861}{12700}$

$T_{S \infty}= 82 + \dfrac{1695208.861}{12700}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{82(12700) +1695208.861 }{12700}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{1041400 +1695208.861 }{12700}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{2736608.861 }{12700}$

$\mathbf{T_{S \infty } \ \approx 215.481 \ MPa}$

From equation(2);

$156= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{28500} ---- (2)$

Replacing A = 1695208.861 in the above equation; we have:

$156= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{1695208.861}{28500}$

$T_{S \infty}= 156 + \dfrac{1695208.861}{28500}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{156(28500) +1695208.861 }{28500}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{4446000 +1695208.861 }{28500}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{6141208.861}{28500}$

$\mathbf{T_{S \infty } \ \approx 215.481 \ MPa}$

We are to also estimate the number- average molecular weight that is required to give a tensile strength required above.

If the Tensile Strength (MPa) is 82 MPa

Definitely the average molecular weight will be = 12,700 g/mol

If the Tensile Strength (MPa) is 156 MPa

Definitely the average molecular weight will be = 28,500 g/mol

But;

Let us assume that the Tensile Strength (MPa) = 181 MPa for example.

Using the same formula:

$T_S = T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{M_n}$

Then:

$181 = 215.481- \dfrac{1695208.861 }{M_n}$

Collecting like terms ; we have:

$\dfrac{1695208.861 }{M_n} = 215.481- 181$

$\dfrac{1695208.861 }{M_n} =34.481$

1695208.861= 34.481 $M_n$

Dividing both sides by 34.481; we have:

$M_n$ = $\dfrac{1695208.861}{34.481}$

$\mathbf{M_n = 49163.56431 \ g/mol }$
