Engineering
1 answer:
ELEN [110]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Calculate the wire pressure for a round copper bar with an original cross-sectional area of 12.56 mm2 to a 30% reduction of area
dybincka [34]

Answer:153.76 MPa

Explanation:

Initial Area\left ( A_0\right )=12.56 mm^2

Final Area\left ( A_f\right )=0.7\times 12.56 mm^2=8.792 mm^2

Die angle=30^{\circ}

\alpha =\frac{30}{2}=15^{\circ}

\mu =0.08

Yield stress\left ( \sigma _y \right )=350 MPa

B=\mu cot\left ( \aplha\right )=0.2985

\sigma _{pressure}=\sigma _y\left [\frac{1+B}{B}\right ]\left [ 1-\frac{A_f}{A_0}\right ]^B

\sigma _{pressure}=350\left [\frac{1+0.2985}{0.2985}\right ]\left [ 1-\frac{8.792}{12.56}\right ]^{0.2985}

\sigma _{pressure}=153.76 MPa

A double-pane insulated window consists of two 1 cm thick pieces of glass separated by a 1.8 cm layer of air. The window measure
Elanso [62]

Answer:

(b). T = 22.55 ⁰C

(c). q = 557.8 W

Explanation:

we take follow a step by step process to solving this problem.

from the question, we have that

The two glass pieces is separated by a 1.8 cm distance layer of air.

the thickness of glass piece is 1 cm

width = 4 m

the height = 3 m

(a). the sketch of the thermal circuit is uploaded in the picture below.

(b).  the thermal resistance due to the conduction in the first glass plane is given thus;

R₁ = Lg / Kg A ................(1)

given that Kg rep. the thermal conductivity of the glass plane

A = conduction surface area

Lg = Thickness of glass plane4

taking the thermal conductivity of glass plane as Kg = 0.78 w/mk

inputting values into equation (1) we have,

R₁ = [1 (cm) ˣ 1 (m)/100 (cm)] / [(0.78 w/mk)(4m ˣ 3m)]

R₁ = 1.068 ˣ 10 ⁻³ k/w

Being that we have same thermal resistance in the first and second plane,

therefore R₁ = R₃ = 1.068 ˣ 10 ⁻³ k/w

⇒ Also the thermal resistance between air and glass as a result of the conduction by the layer is given thus

R₂ = La/KaA .....................(2)

given Ka = thermal conductivity of air

A = surface area

La = thickness of air

substituting values into the equation we have

R₂ = [1.8 (cm) ˣ 1 (m)/100 (cm)] / [(0.0262 w/mk)(4m ˣ 3m)]

R₂ = 5.73 ˣ 10⁻² k/w

Given the thermal resistance on the outer surface due to convection, we have

R₄ = 1/hA

inputting value gives R₄ = 1 / (12 w/m² ˣ 12m) = 6.94 ˣ 10⁻³k/w

R₄ = 6.94 ˣ 10⁻³k/w

Finally the sum total of thermal resistance = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + R₄

R-total = 0.0663 kw

From this we can calculate the rate of heat loss

using  q = Ti - To / R-total ..............(3)

given Ti and To is the inside and outside temperature i.e. 27⁰C and -10⁰C

from equation (3),

q = 27- (-10) / 0.0063 = 557.8 W

q = 557.8 W  

⇒ Applying the heat transfer formula for inside surface glass temperature gives;

q = Ti - T₂ / R₃ + R₄

T₂ = Ti - q (R₃ + R₄)

T₂ = 27 - 557.8 (1.068ˣ10⁻³ + 6.94ˣ10⁻³ ) = 22.55°C

T₂ = 22.55°C

cheers i hope this helps

At the instant under consideration, the hydraulic cylinder AB has a length L = 0.75 m, and this length is momentarily increasing
Inessa [10]

Answer:

vB = - 0.176 m/s   (↓-)

Explanation:

Given

(AB) = 0.75 m

(AB)' = 0.2 m/s

vA = 0.6 m/s

θ = 35°

vB = ?

We use the formulas

Sin θ = Sin 35° = (OA)/(AB) ⇒  (OA) = Sin 35°*(AB)

⇒   (OA) = Sin 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.43 m

Cos θ = Cos 35° = (OB)/(AB) ⇒  (OB) = Cos 35°*(AB)

⇒   (OB) = Cos 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.614 m

We apply Pythagoras' theorem as follows

(AB)² = (OA)² + (OB)²

We derive the equation

2*(AB)*(AB)' = 2*(OA)*vA + 2*(OB)*vB

⇒  (AB)*(AB)' = (OA)*vA + (OB)*vB

⇒  vB = ((AB)*(AB)' - (OA)*vA) / (OB)

then we have

⇒  vB = ((0.75 m)*(0.2 m/s) - (0.43 m)*(0.6 m/s) / (0.614 m)

⇒  vB = - 0.176 m/s   (↓-)

The pic can show the question.
