Answer:

the correct distance is 202 ft

Explanation:

The computation of the correct distance is shown below:

But before that correction to be applied should be determined

= (101 ft - 100 ft) ÷ (100 ft) × 200 ft

= 2 ft

Now the correct distance is

= 200 ft + 2 ft

= 202 ft

Hence, the correct distance is 202 ft

The same would be relevant and considered too

What factors are likely to promote the formation of stress corrosion cracks?

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Stress corrosion cracking

Explanation:

This occurs when susceptible materials subjected to an environment that causes cracking effect by the production of folds and tensile stress. This also depends upon the nature of the corrosive environment.

Factors like high-temperature water, along with Carbonization and chlorination, static stress, and material properties.

A budding electronics hobbyist wants to make a simple 1.0-nF capacitor for tuning her crystal radio, using two sheets of aluminu

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

a. 8 sheets of paper is needed between her plates to get the proper capacitance

b. Area of Aluminum Foil needed = 0.45m²

c. To keep a 1.0-nF, a larger area of Teflon is required.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the distance between two plates.

This is given by

d = Kε0A/C

Where

K = 3

ε0 = Physical Constant = 8.854 * 10^-12 C²/Nm²

A = Area = 22 * 28 = 616cm² = 0.0616m²

C = 1.0-nF = 1 * 10^-12F

So, d = (3 * 8.854 * 10^-12 C²/Nm² * 0.0616) / (1 * 10^-12F)

d = 1.64 * 10^-3m

d = 1.64mm

Now, that the distance has been solved.

The Number of Sheets, N is given by

N = d/d,sheet where d, sheet =the sheet thickness = 0.2mm

N = 1.64/0.2

N = 8.2

N = 8 sheets --- Approximated

Here, she's changed the diameter of the sheets to 12mm

Well make use of the formula in (a) above

Using d = Kε0A/C

Where

d = 12 * 10^-3m

Other constraints remain unchanged

Make A the subject of formula

A = dC/Kε0

A = (12 * 10^-3m * 1 * 10^-12F)/(3 * 8.854 * 10^-12 C²/Nm²)

A= 0.45m²

c. From (b) above

A ∝ 1/K

As the dielectric constant increase, the area decreases

The dielectric constant of a Teflon is 2.1

This means that if she used a Teflon instead, the area will be larger.

So, to keep a 1.0-nF, a larger area of Teflon is required.

Consider the expansion of a gas at a constant temperature in a water-cooled piston-cylinder system. The constant temperature is

Leona [35]

Answer:

$Q_{in} = W_{out} = nRT ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})$

Explanation:

According to the first thermodynamic law, the energy must be conserved so:

$dQ = dU - dW$

Where Q is the heat transmitted to the system, U is the internal energy and W is the work done by the system.

This equation can be solved by integration between an initial and a final state:

(1) $\int\limits^1_2 {} \, dQ = \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dU - \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dW$

As per work definition:

$dW = F*dr$

For pressure the force F equials the pressure multiplied by the area of the piston, and considering dx as the displacement:

$dW = PA*dx$

Here A*dx equals the differential volume of the piston, and considering that any increment in volume is a work done by the system, the sign is negative, so:

$dW = - P*dV$

So the third integral in equation (1) is:

$\int\limits^1_2 {- P} \, dV$

Considering the gas as ideal, the pressure can be calculated as $P = \frac{n*R*T}{V}$ , so:

$\int\limits^1_2 {- P} \, dV = \int\limits^1_2 {- \frac{n*R*T}{V}} \, dV$

In this particular case as the systems is closed and the temperature constant, n, R and T are constants:

$\int\limits^1_2 {- \frac{n*R*T}{V}} \, dV = -nRT \int\limits^1_2 {\frac{1}{V}} \, dV$

Replacion this and solving equation (1) between state 1 and 2:

$\int\limits^1_2 {} \, dQ = \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dU + nRT \int\limits^1_2 {\frac{1}{V}} \, dV$

$Q_{2} - Q_{1} = U_{2} - U_{1} + nRT(ln V_{2} - ln V_{1})$

$Q_{2} - Q_{1} = U_{2} - U_{1} + nRT ln \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}$

The internal energy depends only on the temperature of the gas, so there is no internal energy change $U_{2} - U_{1} = 0$ , so the heat exchanged to the system equals the work done by the system:

$Q_{in} = W_{out} = nRT ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})$

Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Saturated vapor enters the turbine at 12 MPa, and the condenser pressure i

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

$\dot Q_{in} = 372.239\,MW$

Explanation:

The water enters to the pump as saturated liquid and equation is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$w_{in} + h_{in}- h_{out} = 0$

$h_{out} = w_{in}+h_{in}$

$h_{out} = 12\,\frac{kJ}{kg} + 191.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$h_{out} = 203.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

The boiler heats the water to the state of saturated vapor, whose specific enthalpy is:

$h_{out} = 2685.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

The rate of heat transfer in the boiler is:

$\dot Q_{in} = \left(150\,\frac{kg}{s}\right)\cdot \left(2685.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-203.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,MW}{1000\,kW} \right)$

$\dot Q_{in} = 372.239\,MW$
