A collection of electrons in one place is known as what

Write down one metal or alloy that is best suited for each of the following applications:

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Cast iron or Aluminium alloy are typically used. Aluminium is much lighter in weight and it can transfer heat better to the coolant. While Cast Iron is typically stronger and is thus still used by the manufacturers.

b. Copper can be used as a condensing heat exchanger for hot steam due to its optimal thermal properties and its ability to resist corrosion.

c. high-speed steel are perfect for producing drill bits because of its hardness and resistance to heat to an extent. Drill bits tend to produce heat as a result of the friction between it and the material to be drilled.

d. lead can be used as a container for strong acids because of its anti-corrosive properties

e.zinc and copper can be used as fuel in pyrotechnics mainly due to the fact that burn with refreshing colours. Aluminium can also be used.

f. Platinum is the metal that best suits this purpose because of its high melting point and resistivity to oxidation.

Determine the pressure difference in N/m2,between two points 800m apart in horizontal pipe-line,150 mm diameter, discharging wat

zlopas [31]

Answer: $10.631\times 10^3\ N/m^2$

Explanation:

Given

Discharge is $Q=12.5\ L$

Diameter of pipe $d=150\ mm$

Distance between two ends of pipe $L=800\ m$

friction factor $f=0.008$

Average velocity is given by

$\Rightarrow v_{avg}=\dfrac{12.5\times 10^{-3}}{\frac{\pi }{4}(0.15)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow v_{avg}=\dfrac{15.9134\times 10^{-3}}{2.25\times 10^{-2}}\\\\\Rightarrow v_{avg}=7.07\times 10^{-1}\\\Rightarrow v_{avg}=0.707\ m/s$

Pressure difference is given by

$\Rightarrow \Delta P=f\ \dfrac{L}{d}\dfrac{\rho v_{avg}^2}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=0.008\times \dfrac{800}{0.15}\times \dfrac{997\times (0.707)^2}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=10,631.45\ N/m^2\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=10.631\ kPa$

2) The switch in the circuit below has been closed a long time. At t=0, it is opened.

saul85 [17]

Answer:

il(t) = e^(-100t)

Explanation:

The current from the source when the switch is closed is the current through an equivalent load of 15 + 50║50 = 15+25 = 40 ohms. That is, it is 80/40 = 2 amperes. That current is split evenly between the two parallel 50-ohm resistors, so the initial inductor current is 2/2 = 1 ampere.

The time constant is L/R = 0.20/20 = 0.01 seconds. Then the decaying current is described by ...

il(t) = e^(-t/.01)

il(t) = e^(-100t) . . . amperes
