When removing a diesel engine from a truck, Technician A says it is OK to disconnect an air con­ditioning hose, but the refriger

ant should be vented to the outside of the shop. Technician B says do not loosen any air conditioning hoses until the refrigerant can be recovered. Who is right? *

Answer:

Technician B is right.

Explanation:

Air conditioning refrigerant contains Freon R22 and R410a, which have been linked to environmental damages, including ozone depletion, global warming, and energy-inefficiency.  For environmentally-savvy entities and individuals, there is the modern move to a more environment-friendly refrigerant, known as R-32.   Technician A's advice to vent the refrigerant outside the shop is in bad taste.  He does not seem to be aware of the environmental footprint of such an action.  Venting gas outside, in addition to the environmental damages, is also a waste of resources, and therefore, costly.  This is why Technician B's advice should be preferred.

The size of Carvins Cove water reservoir is 3.2 billion gallons. Approximately, 11 cfs of water is continuous withdrawn from thi
Zolol [24]

Answer:

471 days

Explanation:

Capacity of Carvins Cove water reservoir = 3.2 billion gallons i.e. 3.2 x 10˄9 gallons

As,  

1 gallon = 0.133 cubic feet (cf)

Therefore,  

Capacity of Carvins Cove water reservoir in cf  = 3.2 x 10˄9 x 0.133

                                                                         = 4.28 x 10˄8

 

Applying Mass balance i.e

Accumulation = Mass In - Mass out   (Eq. 01)

Here  

Mass In = 0.5 cfs

Mass out = 11 cfs

Putting values in (Eq. 01)

Accumulation  = 0.5 - 11

                         = - 10.5 cfs

 

Negative accumulation shows that reservoir is depleting i.e. at a rate of 10.5 cubic feet per second.

Converting depletion of reservoir in cubic feet per hour = 10.5 x 3600

                                                                                       = 37,800

 

Converting depletion of reservoir in cubic feet per day = 37, 800 x 24

                                                                                         = 907,200  

 

i.e. 907,200 cubic feet volume is being depleted in days = 1 day

1 cubic feet volume is being depleted in days = 1/907,200 day

4.28 x 10˄8 cubic feet volume will deplete in days  = (4.28 x 10˄8) x                    1/907,200

                                                                                 = 471 Days.

 

Hence in case of continuous drought reservoir will last for 471 days before dry-up.

A conical enlargement in a vertical pipeline is 5 ft long and enlarges the pipe diameter from 12 in. to 24 in. diameter. Calcula
makkiz [27]

Answer:

F_y = 151319.01N = 15.132 KN

Explanation:

From the linear momentum equation theory, since flow is steady, the y components would be;

-V1•ρ1•V1•A1 + V2•ρ2•V2•A2 = P1•A1 - P2•A2 - F_y

We are given;

Length; L = 5ft = 1.52.

Initial diameter;d1 = 12in = 0.3m

Exit diameter; d2 = 24 in = 0.6m

Volume flow rate of water; Q2 = 10 ft³/s = 0.28 m³/s

Initial pressure;p1 = 30 psi = 206843 pa

Thus,

initial Area;A1 = π•d1²/4 = π•0.3²/4 = 0.07 m²

Exit area;A2 = π•d2²/4 = π•0.6²/4 = 0.28m²

Now, we know that volume flow rate of water is given by; Q = A•V

Thus,

At exit, Q2 = A2•V2

So, 0.28 = 0.28•V2

So,V2 = 1 m/s

When flow is incompressible, we often say that ;

Initial mass flow rate = exit mass flow rate.

Thus,

ρ1 = ρ2 = 1000 kg/m³

Density of water is 1000 kg/m³

And A1•V1 = A2•V2

So, V1 = A2•V2/A1

So, V1 = 0.28 x 1/0.07

V1 = 4 m/s

So, from initial equation of y components;

-V1•ρ1•V1•A1 + V2•ρ2•V2•A2 = P1•A1 - P2•A2 - F_y

Where F_y is vertical force of enlargement pressure and P2 = 0

Thus, making F_y the subject;

F_y = P1•A1 + V1•ρ1•V1•A1 - V2•ρ2•V2•A2

Plugging in the relevant values to get;

F_y = (206843 x 0.07) + (1² x 1000 x 0.07) - (4² x 1000 x 0.28)

F_y = 151319.01N = 15.132 KN

Why is it called field effect transistor​
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The field-effect transistor (FET) is a type of transistor which uses an electric field to control the flow of current.

FET is named field effect transistor as field effect is producing, but in BJT also field effect will produce. :)

Consider insulation on a circular pipe For the same thickness and type of insulation, the thermal resistance of the insulation i
leonid [27]

Answer:

b). The same for all pipes independent of the diameter

Explanation:

We know,

R_{conduction}=\frac{ln(\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}})}{2\pi LK}

R_{convection}=\frac{1}{h(2\pi r_{2}L)}

From the above formulas we can conclude that the thermal resistance of a substance mainly depends upon heat transfer coefficient,whereas radius has negligible effects on heat transfer coefficient.

We also know,

Factors on which thermal resistance of insulation depends are :

1. Thickness of the insulation

2. Thermal conductivity of the insulating material.

Therefore from above observation we can conclude that the thermal resistance of the insulation is same for all pipes independent of diameter.
