So I’m thinking C because they both have a lot to do with design here is my evidence. Structural engineering is a component of civil engineering which focuses on the design and development of infrastructures such as bridges, skyscrapers, dams. Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment. I may be wrong but hope this helped!

Answer:

Explanation:

For ligation process the 1:3 vector to insert ratio is the good to utilize . By considering that we can take 1 ratio of vector and 3 ratio of insert ( consider different insert size ) and take 10 different vials of ligation ( each calculated using different insert size from low to high ) and plot a graph for transformation efficiency and using optimum transformation efficiency we can find out the insert size.

A spring-loaded piston-cylinder contains 1 kg of carbon dioxide. This system is heated from 104 kPa and 25 °C to 1,068 kPa and 3

labwork [276]

Answer:

Q = -68.859 kJ

Explanation:

given details

mass $co_2 = 1 kg$

initial pressure P_1 = 104 kPa

Temperature T_1 = 25 Degree C = 25+ 273 K = 298 K

final pressure P_2 = 1068 kPa

Temperature T_2 = 311 Degree C = 311+ 273 K = 584 K

we know that

molecular mass of $co_2 = 44$

R = 8.314/44 = 0.189 kJ/kg K

c_v = 0.657 kJ/kgK

from ideal gas equation

PV =mRT

$V_1 = \frac{m RT_1}{P_1}$

$=\frac{1*0.189*298}{104}$

$V_1 = 0.5415 m3$

$V_2 = \frac{m RT_2}{P_2}$

$=\frac{1*0.189*584}{1068}$

$V_1 = 0.1033 m3$

WORK DONE

$W =P_{avg}*{V_2-V_1}$

w = 586*(0.1033 -0.514)

W =256.76 kJ

INTERNAL ENERGY IS

$\Delta U = m *c_v*{V_2-V_1}$

$\Delta U = 1*0.657*(584-298)$

$\Delta U =187.902 kJ$

HEAT TRANSFER

$Q = \Delta U +W$

= 187.902 +(-256.46)

Q = -68.859 kJ

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat- regenerative Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 80 MW. Steam enters th

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

flow(m) = 54.45 kg/s

thermal efficiency u = 44.48%

Explanation:

Given:

- P_1 = P_8 = 10 KPa

- P_2 = P_3 = P_6 = P_7 = 800 KPa

- P_4 = P_5 = 10,000 KPa

- T_5 = 550 C

- T_7 = 500 C

- Power Output P = 80 MW

Find:

- The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Solution:

State 1:

P_1 = 10 KPa , saturated liquid

h_1 = 192 KJ/kg

v_1 = 0.00101 m^3 / kg

State 2:

P_2 = 800 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_2 = h_1 + v_1 * ( P_2 - P_1)

h_2 = 192 + 0.00101*(790) = 192.80 KJ/kg

State 3:

P_3 = 800 KPa , saturated liquid

h_3 = 721 KJ/kg

v_3 = 0.00111 m^3 / kg

State 4:

P_4 = 10,000 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_4 = h_3 + v_3 * ( P_4 - P_3)

h_4 = 721 + 0.00111*(9200) = 731.21 KJ/kg

State 5:

P_5 = 10,000 KPa , T_5 = 550 C

h_5 = 3500 KJ/kg

s_5 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

State 6:

P_6 = 800 KPa , s_5 = s_6 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

h_6 = 2810 KJ/kg

State 7:

P_7 = 800 KPa , T_7 = 500 C

h_7 = 3480 KJ/kg

s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

State 8:

P_8 = 10 KPa , s_8 = s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

h_8 = 2490 KJ/kg

- Fraction of steam y = flow(m_6 / m_3).

- Use energy balance of steam bleed and cold feed-water:

E_6 + E_2 = E_3

flow(m_6)*h_6 + flow(m_2)*h_3 = flow(m_3)*h_3

y*h_6 + (1-y)*h_3 = h_3

y*2810 + (1-y)*192.8 = 721

Compute y: y = 0.2018

- Heat produced by the boiler q_b:

q_b = h_5 - h_4 +(1-y)*(h_7 - h_8)

q_b = 3500 -731.21 + ( 1 - 0.2018)*(3480 - 2810)

Compute q_b: q_b = 3303.58 KJ/ kg

-Heat dissipated by the condenser q_c:

q_c = (1-y)*(h_8 - h_1)

q_c= ( 1 + 0.2018)*(2810 - 192)

Compute q_c: q_c = 1834.26 KJ/ kg

- Net power output w_net:

w_net = q_b - q_c

w_net = 3303.58 - 1834.26

w_net = 1469.32 KJ/kg

- Given out put P = 80,000 KW

flow(m) = P / w_net

compute flow(m) flow(m) = 80,000 /1469.32 = 54.45 kg/s

- Thermal efficiency u:

u = 1 - (q_c / q_b)

u = 1 - (1834.26/3303.58)

u = 44.48 %

How do technological artifacts affect the way that you live?

Maslowich

Answer:

Artefacts can influence our actions in several ways. They can be instruments, enabling and facilitating actions, where their presence affects the number and quality of the options for action available to us. They can also influence our actions in a morally more salient way, where their presence changes the likelihood that we will actually perform certain actions. Both kinds of influences are closely related, yet accounts of how they work have been developed largely independently, within different conceptual frameworks and for different purposes. In this paper I account for both kinds of influences within a single framework. Specifically, I develop a descriptive account of how the presence of artefacts affects what we actually do, which is based on a framework commonly used for normative investigations into how the presence of artefacts affects what we can do. This account describes the influence of artefacts on what we actually do in terms of the way facts about those artefacts alter our reasons for action. In developing this account, I will build on Dancy’s (2000a) account of practical reasoning. I will compare my account with two alternatives, those of Latour and Verbeek, and show how my account suggests a specification of their respective key concepts of prescription and invitation. Furthermore, I argue that my account helps us in analysing why the presence of artefacts sometimes fails to influence our actions, contrary to designer expectations or intentions.

When it comes to affecting human actions, it seems artefacts can play two roles. In their first role they can enable or facilitate human actions. Here, the presence of artefacts changes the number and quality of the options for action available to us.Footnote1 For example, their presence makes it possible for us to do things that we would not otherwise be able to do, and thereby adopt new goals, or helps us to do things we would otherwise be able to do, but in more time, with greater effort, etc

Explanation:

Technological artifacts are in general characterized narrowly as material objects made by (human) agents as means to achieve practical ends. ... Unintended by-products of making (e.g. sawdust) or of experiments (e.g. false positives in medical diagnostic tests) are not artifacts for Hilpinen.

Give me the description of - Feedforward control loops with an example.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Feedforward basically configured and used mainly to avoid errors in a control system entering or disrupting a control loop

Explanation:

Feedforward basically configured and used mainly to avoid errors in a control system entering or disrupting a control loop. Although Feedforward control seems to be a very attractive idea, it imposes a high responsibility on both the system developer and the operator to examine and consider mathematically the effect of disruptions on the process concerned.

example of feedforward is

Shower

which consist of following control points

Hear toilet flush (measurement)

Customize water to compensate

feedback refers to that point when water turns hot before the configuration changes
