What is the mass of the same dragster body (volume of 150 cm3) if it is made of basswood instead?

Oliver is designing a new children’s slide to increase the speed at which a child can descend. His first design involved steel b

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A) Steel becomes too hot in the Sun and can burn the children

Explanation:

The properties of steel includes;

Low specific heat capacity, high thermal and electrical toughness, high hardness, high tensile strength, high yield strength, appreciable elongation, high fatigue strength, can easily corrode, high malleability and ability to creep

Therefore, due to the low specific heat capacity, which is 0.511 J/(g·°C) and high conductivity of steel which is about 32 W/(m·k), the temperature of the steel can rapidly rise and the hot steel surface can readily conduct the heat, (due to the temperature difference) to other bodies that come in contact

What is the difference between a Datum and a Datum Feature? a) A Datum and Datum Feature are synonymous. b) A Datum is theoretic

aliina [53]

Difference between Datum and Datum feature is<em> 'Datum is theoretical and Datum feature is real'. </em>

Option: (b)

<u>Explanation:</u>

A Datum is a perfect plane, line, point or surface but only occurs theoretically.

However a Datum Feature is fully based on a tangible surface, axis or point on a part where that theoretical datum is located.

The reason behind in this is they are not equal to each other because the 'part surface' is never 100% perfect.

The important functional features of the Datum is controlled during measurements.

A steam power plant operates on an ideal Rankine cycle with two stages of reheat and has a net power output of 120 MW. Steam ent

uysha [10]

Answer:

a) 40.6%

b)72.19kg/s

Explanation:

The Rankine cycle with two reheat stages has 9 stages in total.

The maximum pressure will be at the first inlet stage of the HP turbine which is stage 3. The minimum pressure will be the exit stage of the condenser because the condenser operates under vacuum pressure which is stage 1.

The following assumptions can be made:

1 - Each component in the cycle is analyzed as an open system operating at steady-state.

2 - All of the processes are internally reversible.

3 - The turbine and pump operate adiabatically and are internally reversible, so they are also isentropic.

4 - Condensate exits the condenser as saturated liquid.

5 - The effluent from the HP turbine is a saturated vapor.

6 - No shaft work crosses the system boundary of the boiler or condenser.

7 - Changes in kinetic and potential energies are negligible

a) The thermal efficiency of the cycle is defined as the work of the cycle divided by the total heat input to the system. The stages that have heat input is stages 2-3, 4-5, 6-7.

For stage 2:

s₁=s₂ assuming isentropic

$s_1=0.4762 @ P_1=15MPa$
