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.

Convert 0.025 in into mm.
malfutka [58]

Answer:  0.025 in = 0.065 mm

Explanation:  To convert the value in inches to mm we have to multiply the inches by the conversion factor 25.4.

So, 0.025 × 25.4 = 0.065 mm (millimeter)

Conversion formula for calculation in (inch) into mm is:

      Value in mm = Value in in × 25.4

  • One inch is equal to the 25.4 mm.

g A food department is kept at -12oC by a refrigerator in an environment at 30oC. The total heat gain to the food department is
boyakko [2]

Answer:

a) \dot W = 0.417\,kW, b) COP_{R} = 2.198, c) Irreversible.

Explanation:

a) The power input required by the refrigerator is:

\dot W = \dot Q_{H} - \dot Q_{L}

\dot W = \left(4800\,\frac{kJ}{h} - 3300\,\frac{kJ}{h}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600} \,\frac{h}{s} \right)

\dot W = 0.417\,kW

b) The Coefficient of Performance of the refrigerator is:

COP_{R} = \frac{\dot Q_{L}}{\dot W}

COP_{R} = \frac{3300\,\frac{kJ}{h} }{(0.417\,kW)\cdot \left(3600\,\frac{s}{h} \right)}

COP_{R} = 2.198

c) The maximum ideal Coefficient of Performance of the refrigeration is given by the inverse Carnot's Cycle:

COP_{R,ideal} = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}

COP_{R,ideal} = \frac{261.15\,K}{303.15\,K - 261.15\,K}

COP_{R,ideal} = 6.218

The refrigeration cycle is irreversible, as COP_{R} < COP_{R,ideal}.

A manufacturer makes integrated circuits that each have a resistance layer with a target thickness of 200 units. A circuit won't
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

probability P = 0.32

Explanation:

this is incomplete question

i found complete A manufactures makes integrated circuits that each have a resistance layer with a target thickness of 200 units. A circuit won't work well if this thickness varies too much from the target value. These thickness measurements are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 200 units and a standard deviation of 12 units. A random sample of 17 measurements is selected for a quality inspection. We can assume that the measurements in the sample are independent. What is the probability that the mean thickness in these 16 measurements x is farther than 3 units away from the target value?

solution

we know that Standard error is expess as

Standard error = \frac{sd}{\sqrt{n}}

Standard error  = \frac{12}{\sqrt{16}}

Standard error  = 3  

so here we get Z value for 3 units away are from mean are

mean =  -1 and + 1

so here

probability P will be

probability P = P( z < -1 or z > 1)

probability P = 0.1587 + 0.1587

probability P =  0.3174

probability P = 0.32

Homes may be heated by pumping hot water through radiators. What mass of water (in g) will provide the same amount of heat when
Nitella [24]

Answer:

a mass of water required is mw= 1273.26 gr = 1.27376 Kg

Explanation:

Assuming that the steam also gives out latent heat, the heat provided should be same for cooling the hot water than cooling the steam and condense it completely:

Q = mw * cw * ΔTw = ms * cs * ΔTw + ms * L

where m = mass , c= specific heat , ΔT=temperature change, L = latent heat of condensation

therefore

mw = ( ms * cs * ΔTw + ms * L )/ (cw * ΔTw )

replacing values

mw = [182g * 2.078 J/g°C*(118°C-100°C) + 118 g * 2260 J/g ] /[4.187 J/g°C * (90.7°C-39.4°C)] = 1273.26 gr = 1.27376 Kg

Write a statement that calls the recursive method backwardsAlphabet() with parameter startingLetter.
Tcecarenko [31]

Recursion refers to the act of calling a function itself. With the use of this strategy, complex problems can be reduced to more manageable, simpler ones. Recursion might be a little challenging to comprehend. The best method to figure out how it works is to experiment with it.

<h3>How to write a programme by recursive method ?</h3>

The process of making a function call itself is known as recursion. With the use of this strategy, complex problems can be reduced to more manageable, simpler ones. Recursion might be a little challenging to comprehend. Experimenting with it is the most effective way to learn how it functions.

public class Recursive Calls {

public static void backwards Alphabet(char currLetter) {

if (currLetter == 'a') {

System.out.println(currLetter);

}

else {

System.out.print(currLetter + " ");

backwards Alphabet(--currLetter);

}

return;

}

public static void main (String [] args) {

char starting Letter = '-';

starting Letter = 'z';

// Your solution goes here

backwards Alphabet(starting Letter);

return;

}

}
