Which is an alloy made up of iron and carbon and has high compressive and tensile strength?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: Steel is an alloy of iron with typically a few percent of carbon to improve its strength and fracture resistance compared to iron. Many other additional elements may be present or added. Stainless steels that are corrosion and oxidation resistant need typically an additional 11% chromium.

Which of the following is true about modern hydraulic lifts?

kaheart [24]

The modern hydraulic lifts make use of biodegradable fluid to transmit hydraulic power

Question: The options are left out in the question. The details and facts about the modern hydraulic lift are presented here

Details about the modern hydraulic lifts include;

The development of the modern hydraulic occurred in the Industrial Revolution to perform task done previously by steam powered elevators

The power of the hydraulic lift come from the hydraulic cylinder known as the actuator, which in turn is powered by pressurized hydraulic fluid such as oil

The hydraulic fluid is pushed by a piston rod through which energy is capable of being transferred, such that the applied force is multiplied, to provide more power for lifting

Facts about the modern hydraulic lifts include;

The dry motor in the modern hydraulic lift is more efficient and consumes 20% less energy

It comprises of valves that are controlled electronically such that the response is much rapid and the energy consumption is reduced by a further 20%

The cars used in the modern lift are lighter, as well as the slings, which reduces the power usage by 20%

It makes use of chemicals which are environmentally friendly as hydraulic fluid

The flash point of the fluid used is higher, as well as it posses 50% lower compressibility as well elasticity

You are given a body with no body forces and told that the stress state is given as: ⎡ ⎣ 3αx 5βx2 + αy γz3 5βx2 + αy βx2 0 γz3 0

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

This doesn't represent an equilibrium state of stress

Explanation:

∝ = 1 , β = 1 , y = 1

x = 0 , y = 0 , z = 0 ( body forces given as 0 )

Attached is the detailed solution is and also the conditions for equilibrium

for a stress state to be equilibrium all three conditions has to meet the equilibrum condition as explained in the attached solution

A utility generates electricity with a 36% efficient coal-fired power plant emitting the legal limit of 0.6 lb of SO2 per millio

Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) 570 kWh of electricity will be saved

b) the amount of SO₂ not be emitted or heat of electricity saved is 0.00162 ton/CLF

c) $1.296 can be earned by selling the SO₂ saved by a single CFL

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) How many kilowatt-hours of electricity would be saved?

first, we determine the total power consumption by the incandescent lamp

$P_{incandescent}$ = 75 w × 10,000-hr = 750000 wh = 750 kWh

next, we also find the total power consumption by the fluorescent lamp

$P_{fluorescent}$ = 18 × 10000 = 180000 = 180 kWh

So the value of power saved will be;

$P_{saved}$ = $P_{incandescent}$ - $P_{fluorescent}$

$P_{saved}$ = 750 - 180

$P_{saved}$ = 570 kWh

Therefore, 570 kWh of electricity will be saved.

now lets find the heat of electricity saved in Bituminous

heat saved = energy saved per CLF / efficiency of plant

given that; the utility has 36% efficiency

we substitute

heat saved = 570 kWh/CLF / 36%

we know that; 1 kilowatt (kWh) = 3,412 btu per hour (btu/h)

heat saved = 570 kWh/CLF / 0.36 × (3412 Btu / kW-hr (

heat saved = 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF

i.e eat of electricity saved per CLF is 5.4 × 10⁶

b) How many 2,000-lb tons of SO₂ would not be emitted

2000 lb/tons = 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF

0.6 lb SO₂ / million Btu = x

x = [( 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF ) × ( 0.6 lb SO₂ / million Btu )] / 2000 lb/tons

x = [( 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF ) × ( 0.6 lb SO₂ )] / [ ( 10⁶) × ( 2000 lb/ton) ]

x = 3.24 × 10⁶ / 2 × 10⁹

x = 0.00162 ton/CLF

Therefore, the amount of SO₂ not be emitted or heat of electricity saved is 0.00162 ton/CLF

c) If the utility can sell its rights to emit SO2 at $800 per ton, how much money could the utility earn by selling the SO2 saved by a single CFL?

Amount = ( SO₂ saved per CLF ) × ( rate per CFL )

we substitute

Amount = 0.00162 ton/CLF × $800

= $1.296

Therefore; $1.296 can be earned by selling the SO₂ saved by a single CFL.
