A life cycle assessment (LCA) determines the environmental impact at all stages of a product's life cycle, including production,

usage, and disposal;
the LCA process includes procedures that gather and evaluate the inputs and outputs of materials, energy, and the related impact that can be directly assigned to the product or process at any point in its life cycle;
the main purpose of an LCA is to assess potential environmental impact in order to address issues before hazardous or irreversible effects are created;
LCAs include goal definitions, inventories, impact analyses, and improvement analyses, which enable companies to identify environmental issues and explore possible solutions to problems; and
inherency is the property of a life cycle that may hide hazardous or energy-consuming processes, creating a net total product that appears to be benign or efficient but in actuality does have negative impacts.

The function below takes a single parameter, a list of numbers called number_list. Complete the function to return a string of t
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The solution code is written in Python:

  1. def convertCSV(number_list):
  2.    str_list = []
  3.    for num in number_list:
  4.        str_list.append(str(num))
  5.    
  6.    return ",".join(str_list)
  7. result = convertCSV([22,33,44])
  8. print(result)

Explanation:

Firstly, create a function "convertCSV" with one parameter "number_list". (Line 1)

Next, create an empty list and assign it to a new variable <em>str_list</em>. (Line 2)

Use for-loop to iterate through all the number in the <em>number_list</em>.(Line 4). Within the loop, each number is converted to a string using the Python built-in function <em>str() </em>and then use the list append method to add the string version of the number to <em>str_list</em>.

Use Python string<em> join() </em>method to join all the elements in the str_list as a single string. The "," is used as a separator between the elements (Line 7) . At the end return the string as an output.

We can test the function by calling the function and passing [22,33,34] as an argument and we shall see "22,33,44" is printed as an output. (Line 9 - 10)

An air-conditioning system operating on the reversed Carnot cycle is required to transfer heat from a house at a rate of 755 kJ/
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

There is 0.466 KW required to operate this air-conditioning system

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Heat transfer rate of the house = Ql = 755 kJ/min

House temperature = Th = 24°C = 24 +273 = 297 Kelvin

Outdoor temperature = To = 35 °C = 35 + 273 = 308 Kelvin

<u>Step 2: </u> Calculate the coefficient of performance o reversed carnot air-conditioner working between the specified temperature limits.

COPr,c = 1 / ((To/Th) - 1)

COPr,c = 1 /(( 308/297) - 1)

COPr,c = 1/ 0.037

COPr,c = 27

<u>Step 3:</u> The power input cna be given as followed:

Wnet,in = Ql / COPr,max

Wnet, in = 755  / 27

Wnet,in = 27.963 kJ/min

Win = 27.963 * 1 KW/60kJ/min  = 0.466 KW

There is 0.466 KW required to operate this air-conditioning system

is released from under a vertical gate into a 2-mwide lined rectangular channel. The gate opening is 50 cm, and the flow rate in
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer: There is a hydraulic jump

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the depth of flow downstream of the gate

y1 = C_{c} y_{g} ----------- ( 1 )

Cc ( concentration coefficient ) = 0.61  ( assumed )

Yg ( depth of gate opening ) = 0.5

hence equation 1 becomes

y1 = 0.61 * 0.5 = 0.305 m

calculate the flow per unit width q

q = Q / b ----------- ( 2 )

Q = 10 m^3 /s

 b = 2 m

hence equation 2 becomes

q = 10 / 2 = 5 m^2/s

next calculate the depth before hydraulic jump y2 by using the hydraulic equation

answer : where  y1 < y2 hence a hydraulic jump occurs in the lined channel

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

Steam at 20 bars is in the saturated vapor state (call this state 1) and contained in a pistoncylinderdevice with a volume of 0.
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

<u>At state 1:</u>

Pressure P₁ = 20 bar

Volume V₁ = 0.03 \mathbf{m^{3}}

From the tables at saturated vapour;

Temperature T₁ = 212.4⁰ C  ; v_1 = vg_1 = 0.0996 \mathbf{m^{3}} / kg

The mass inside the cylinder is m = 0.3 kg, which is constant.

The specific internal energy u₁ = ug₁ = 2599.2 kJ/kg

<u>At state 2:</u>

Temperature T₂ = 200⁰ C

Since the 1 - 2 occurs in an isochoric process v₂ = v₁ = 0.099 \mathbf{m^{3}} / kg

From temperature T₂ = 200⁰ C

v_f_2 = 0.0016 \ m^3/kg  

vg_2 = 0.127 \ m^3/kg  

Since  vf_2 < v_2 , the saturated pressure at state 2 i.e. P₂ = 15.5 bar

Mixture quality x_2 = \dfrac{v_2-vf_2}{vg_2 -vf_2}

x_2 = \dfrac{(0.099-0.0016)m^3/kg}{(0.127 -0.0016) m^3/kg}

x_2 = \dfrac{(0.0974)m^3/kg}{(0.1254) m^3/kg}

\mathsf{x_2 =0.78}

At temperature T₂, the specific internal energy u_f_2 = 850.6 \ kJ/kg , also ug_2 = 2594.3 \ kJ/kg

Thus,

u_2 = uf_2 + x_2 (ug_2 -uf_2)

u_2 =850.6  +0.78 (2594.3 -850.6)

u_2 =850.6  +1360.086

u_2 =2210.686 \ kJ/kg

<u>At state 3:</u>

Temperature T_3=T_2 = 200 ^0 C ,

V_3 = 2V_1 = 0.06 \ m^3

Specific volume v_3 = 0.2  \ m^3/kg

Thus; vg_3 =vg_2 = 0.127 \ m^3/kg ,

SInce v_3 > vg_3, therefore, the phase is in a superheated vapour state.

From the tables of superheated vapour tables; at v_3 = 0.2  \ m^3/kg and T₃ = 200⁰ C

The pressure = 10 bar and v =0.206 \ m^3/kg

The specific internal energy u_3 at the pressure of 10 bar = 2622.3 kJ/kg

The changes in the specific internal energy is:

u_2-u_1

= (2210.686 - 2599.2) kJ/kg

= -388.514 kJ/kg

≅ - 389 kJ/kg

u_3-u_2

= (2622.3 - 2210.686)  kJ/kg

= 411.614 kJ/kg

≅ 410 kJ/kg  

We can see the correct sketches of the T-v plot showing the diagrammatic expression in the image attached below.
