3. What is a caliber (relate it to rockets)

Engineering
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

In this context a caliber is defined as the diameter of the body tube, and it is used to support the general rule of thumb that for a rocket of typical aspect ratio to be stable the CG should be one caliber ahead of CP.

Different metabolic control systems have different characteristic time scales for a control response to be achieved. Match the t
prisoha [69]

Answer:

a. Covalent modification = Seconds to minutes

b. Allosteric control = Milliseconds

c. Gene expression = Hours

Explanation:

Covalent modifications refer to the addition and/or removal of chemical groups by the action of particular enzymes such as methylases, acetylases, phosphorylases, phosphatases, etc. For example, histones are chromatin-associated proteins covalently modified by enzymes that add methyl groups (histone methylation), acetyl groups (histone acetylation), phosphate groups (histone phosphorylation), etc. Moreover, allosteric control, also known as allosteric regulation, is a type of regulation of the enzyme activity by binding an effector molecule (allosteric modulator) at a different site than the enzyme's active site, thereby triggering a conformational change on the enzyme upon binding of an effector. Finally, gene expression encompasses the cellular processes by which genetic information flows from genes to proteins (i.e., transcription >> translation). In metabolic pathways, enzymes that are able to catalyze irreversible reactions represent sites of control (for example, during glycolysis, pyruvate kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes an irreversible reaction, thereby serving as a control site). In turn, enzymatic activity is modulated by covalent modifications or reversible binding of allosteric effectors. Finally, metabolic pathways are also modulated by gene regulatory mechanisms that control the transcription of specific enzymes required for such pathways. During these processes, the times required for allosteric regulation, covalent modification (e.g., phosphorylation) and transcriptional control can be counted in milliseconds, seconds, and hours, respectively.

An insulated piston-cylinder device contains 0.15 of saturated refrigerant-134a vapor at 0.8 MPa pressure. The refrigerant is no
Stells [14]

Answer:

Assumption:

1. The kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible

2. The cylinder is well insulated and thus heat transfer is negligible.

3. The thermal energy stored in the cylinder itself is negligible.

4. The process is stated to be reversible

Analysis:

a. This is reversible adiabatic(i.e isentropic) process and thus s_{1} =s_{2}

From the refrigerant table A11-A13

P_{1} =0.8MPa   \left \{ {{ {{v_{1}=v_{g}  @0.8MPa =0.025645 m^{3/}/kg } } \atop { {{u_{1}=u_{g}  @0.8MPa =246.82 kJ/kg } -   also  {{s_{1}=s_{g}  @0.8MPa =0.91853 kJ/kgK } } \right.

sat vapor

m=\frac{V}{v_{1} } =\frac{0.15}{0.025645} =5.8491 kg\\and \\\\P_{2} =0.2MPa  \left \{ {{x_{2} =\frac{s_{2} -s_{f} }{s_{fg }}=\frac{0.91853-0.15449}{0.78339}   = 0.9753 \atop {u_{2} =u_{f} +x_{2} }(u_{fg}) =  38.26+0.9753(186.25)= 38.26+181.65 =219.9kJ/kg \right. \\s_{1} = s_{2}

T_{2} =T_{sat @ 0.2MPa} = -10.09^{o}  C

b.) We take the content of the cylinder as the sysytem.

This is a closed system since no mass leaves or enters.

Hence, the energy balance for adiabatic closed system can be expressed as:

E_{in} - E_{out}  =ΔE

w_{b, out}  =ΔU

w_{b, out} =m([tex]u_{1} -u_{2)

w_{b, out}  = workdone during the isentropic process

=5.8491(246.82-219.9)

=5.8491(26.91)

=157.3993

=157.4kJ
