Answer:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Explanation:

Pollution can be defined as the physical degradation or contamination of the environment through an emission of harmful, poisonous and toxic chemical substances.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the organization that oversees environmental compliance.

In the United States of America, the agency which was established by US Congress and saddled with the responsibility of overseeing all aspects of pollution, environmental clean up, pesticide use, contamination, and hazardous waste spills is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Also, EPA research solutions, policy development, and enforcement of regulations through the resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

Hence, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the governmental agency set up to ensure that various industries, factories and people comply with laws and regulations concerning the environment.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

(a) 0.12924

(b) Taking into consideration significance level of 0.05 yet the value of p is greater than 0.05, it suggests that the coin is fair hence the coin can be used at the beginning of any sport event.

Explanation:

(a)

n=200 for fair coin getting head, p= 0.5

Expectation = np =200*0.5=100

Variance = np(1 - p) = 100(1-0.5)=100*0.5=50

Standard deviation, $s = \sqrt {variance}=\sqrt {50}= 7.071068$

Z value for 108, $z =\frac {108-100}{7.071068}= 1.131371$

P( x ≥108) = P( z >1.13)= 0.12924

(b)

Taking into consideration significance level of 0.05 yet the value of p is greater than 0.05, it suggests that the coin is fair hence the coin can be used at the beginning of any sport event.

Consider a Carnot heat pump cycle executed in a steady-flow system in the saturated mixture region using R-134a flowing at a rat

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

7.15

Explanation:

Firstly, the COP of such heat pump must be measured that is,

$COP_{HP}=\frac{T_H}{T_H-T_L}$

Therefore, the temperature relationship, $T_H=1.15\;T_L$

Then, we should apply the values in the COP.

$=\frac{1.15\;T_L}{1.15-1}$

$=7.67$

The number of heat rejected by the heat pump must then be calculated.

$Q_H=COP_{HP}\times W_{nst}$

$=7.67\times5=38.35$

We must then calculate the refrigerant mass flow rate.

$m=0.264\;kg/s$

$q_H=\frac{Q_H}{m}$

$=\frac{38.35}{0.264}=145.27$

The $h_g$ value is 145.27 and therefore the hot reservoir temperature is 64° C.

The pressure at 64 ° C is thus 1849.36 kPa by interpolation.

And, the lowest reservoir temperature must be calculated.

$T_L=\frac{T_H}{1.15}$

$=\frac{64+273}{1.15}=293.04$

$=19.89\°C$

the lowest reservoir temperature = 258.703 kpa

So, the pressure ratio should be = 7.15

The current entering the positive terminal of a device is i(t)= 6e^-2t mA and the voltage across the device is v(t)= 10di/dtV.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

a) 2,945 mC

b) P(t) = -720*e^(-4t) uW

c) -180 uJ

Explanation:

Given:

i (t) = 6*e^(-2*t)

v (t) = 10*di / dt

Find:

( a) Find the charge delivered to the device between t=0 and t=2 s.

( b) Calculate the power absorbed.

( c) Determine the energy absorbed in 3 s.

Solution:

- The amount of charge Q delivered can be determined by:

dQ = i(t) . dt

$Q = \int\limits^2_0 {i(t)} \, dt = \int\limits^2_0 {6*e^(-2t)} \, dt = 6*\int\limits^2_0 {e^(-2t)} \, dt$

- Integrate and evaluate the on the interval:

$= 6 * (-0.5)*e^-2t = - 3*( 1 / e^4 - 1) = 2.945 C$

- The power can be calculated by using v(t) and i(t) as follows:

v(t) = 10* di / dt = 10*d(6*e^(-2*t)) /dt

v(t) = 10*(-12*e^(-2*t)) = -120*e^-2*t mV

P(t) = v(t)*i(t) = (-120*e^-2*t) * 6*e^(-2*t)

P(t) = -720*e^(-4t) uW

- The amount of energy W absorbed can be evaluated using P(t) as follows:

$W = \int\limits^3_0 {P(t)} \, dt = \int\limits^2_0 {-720*e^(-4t)} \, dt = -720*\int\limits^2_0 {e^(-4t)} \, dt$

- Integrate and evaluate the on the interval:

$W = -180*e^-4t = - 180*( 1 / e^12 - 1) = -180uJ$
