In homes today, what is behind the reason for flashover fires occurring much more rapidly than in the past generations?

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

One of the reasons why flashover fires are more prevalent today than it was in the past is that homes and furniture today are made from materials that are far more combustible than those of previous years.

Explanation:

A flashover fire is the rapid ignition and combustion of all flammable materials in an enclosed vicinity in a very short period of time.

Thirty years ago, the average escape time from a house that was on fire is about sixteen and fifty seconds...that would be approximately seventeen minutes. Presently that figure is down to four minutes.

One of the reasons identified is that the internal and external appurtenances especially furniture in use today are more combustible than those of previous years. That is, as they burn, they produce more heat and disintegrate faster.

The reason identified for this is, old houses were made of more natural materials such as real wood etc whilst the furniture and curtains in modern houses are mostly from synthetic materials.

Oil with a density of 800 kg/m3 is pumped from a pressure of 0.6 bar to a pressure of 1.4 bar, and the outlet is 3 m above the i

Naddik [55]

Answer:

23.3808 kW

20.7088 kW

Explanation:

ρ = Density of oil = 800 kg/m³

P₁ = Initial Pressure = 0.6 bar

P₂ = Final Pressure = 1.4 bar

Q = Volumetric flow rate = 0.2 m³/s

A₁ = Area of inlet = 0.06 m²

A₂ = Area of outlet = 0.03 m²

Velocity through inlet = V₁ = Q/A₁ = 0.2/0.06 = 3.33 m/s

Velocity through outlet = V₂ = Q/A₂ = 0.2/0.03 = 6.67 m/s

Height between inlet and outlet = z₂ - z₁ = 3m

Temperature to remains constant and neglecting any heat transfer we use Bernoulli's equation

$\frac {P_1}{\rho g}+\frac{V_1^2}{2g}+z_1+h=\frac {P_2}{\rho g}+\frac{V_2^2}{2g}+z_2\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{P_2-P_1}{\rho g}+\frac{V_2^2-V_1^2}{2g}+z_2-z_1\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{(1.4-0.6)\times 10^5}{800\times 9.81}+\frac{6.67_2^2-3.33^2}{2\times 9.81}+3\\\Rightarrow h=14.896\ m$

Work done by pump

$W_{p}=\rho gQh\\\Rightarrow W_{p}=800\times 9.81\times 0.2\times 14.896\\\Rightarrow W_{p}=23380.8\ W$

∴ Power input to the pump 23.3808 kW

Now neglecting kinetic energy

$h=\frac{P_2-P_1}{\rho g}+z_2-z_1\\\Righarrow h=\frac{(1.4-0.6)\times 10^5}{800\times 9.81}+3\\\Righarrow h=13.19\ m\\$

Work done by pump

$W_{p}=\rho gQh\\\Rightarrow W_{p}=800\times 9.81\times 0.2\times 13.193\\\Rightarrow W_{p}=20708.8\ W$

∴ Power input to the pump 20.7088 kW

A boy weighing 108-lb starts from rest at the bottom A of a 6-percent incline and increases his speed at a constant rate to 7 mi

baherus [9]

Answer:

88.18 W

Explanation:

The weight of the boy is given as 108 lb

Change to kg =108*0.453592= 48.988 kg = 49 kg

The slope is given as 6% , change it to degrees as

6/100 =0.06

tan⁻(0.06)= 3.43°

The boy is travelling at a constant speed up the slope = 7mi/hr

Change 7 mi/h to m/s

7*0.44704 =3.13 m/s

Formula for power P=F*v where

P=power output

F=force

v=velocity

Finding force

F=m*g*sin 3.43°

F=49*9.81*sin 3.43° =28.17

Finding the power out

P=28.17*3.13 =88.18 W
