Answer:

250.7mw

Explanation:

Volume of the reservoir = lwh

Length of reservoir = 10km

Width of reservoir = 1km

Height = 100m

Volume = 10x10³x10³x100

= 10⁹m³

Next we find the volume flow rate

= 0.1/100x10⁹x1/3600

= 277.78m³/s

To get the electrical power output developed by the turbine with 92 percent efficiency

= 0.92x1000x9.81x277.78x100

= 250.7MW

Match the test to the property it measures.
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

a. Rockwell              3. hardness

b. Instron                 2. stress vs strain

c. Charpy                 1. impact strength

d. Fatigue                4. Endurance Limit

e. Brinell                  3. hardness

f. Izod                      1. impact strength

Explanation:

Izod and Charpy are the impact strength testing procedure of a material in which a heavy hammer is attached to an arm is released to impact on the test specimen. In Izod test the specimen with v-notch is held vertical with the notch facing outward while in Charpy test the specimen is supported horizontally with notch facing inward to the impacting hammer.

Instron testing system does universal testing of the material which gradually applies the load recording all the stresses and the corresponding strains until the material fails.

Fatigue is the property of a material due to which it fails under the repeated cyclic loading by the initiation and propagation of cracks. The property of a material resist failure subjected to infinite number of repeated cyclic loads below a certain stress limit.

Rockwell and Brinell are the hardness testing methods. In Rockwell test an intender ball is firstly pressed against the specimen using minor load for a certain time and then a major load is pressed against it for a certain time. After the intender is removed the depth of impression on the surface is measured while in case of Brinell hardness we apply only one load against the intender ball for a certain time and after its removal the radius of impression is measured.

Problem 4.079 SI A rigid tank whose volume is 3 m3, initially containing air at 1 bar, 295 K, is connected by a valve to a large
salantis [7]

Answer:

Q_{cv} = -1007.86kJ

Explanation:

Our values are,

State 1

V=3m^3\\P_1=1bar\\T_1 = 295K

We know moreover for the tables A-15 that

u_1 = 210.49kJ/kg\\h_i = 295.17kJkg

State 2

P_2 =6bar\\T_2 = 296K\\T_f = 320K

For tables we know at T=320K

u_2 = 228.42kJ/kg

We need to use the ideal gas equation to estimate the mass, so

m_1 = \frac{p_1V}{RT_1}

m_1 = \frac{1bar*100kPa/1bar(3m^3)}{0.287kJ/kg.K(295k)}

m_1 = 3.54kg

Using now for the final mass:

m_2 = \frac{p_2V}{RT_2}

m_2 = \frac{1bar*100kPa/6bar(3m^3)}{0.287kJ/kg.K(320k)}

m_2 = 19.59kg

We only need to apply a energy balance equation:

Q_{cv}+m_ih_i = m_2u_2-m_1u_1

Q_{cv}=m_2u_2-m1_u_1-(m_2-m_1)h_i

Q_{cv} = (19.59)(228.42)-(3.54)(210.49)-(19.59-3.54)(295.17)

Q_{cv} = -1007.86kJ

The negative value indidicates heat ransfer from the system

Heather is troubleshooting a computer at her worksite. She has interviewed the computer’s user and is currently trying to reprod
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

Heather is trying to establish a theory of probable cause. In this step of the troubleshooting process, the person troubleshooting questions the obvious and then test the theory or response given by the user to really determine the cause. Once confirmation of this theory has been achieved, the troubleshooter then tries to establish a resolution to the problem. However in the event whereby the theory is not confirmed, the troubleshooter then tries to establish a new theory.
