Answer: At 520 feet between the piers, the center arch of Eads Bridge was the longest rigid span ever built at the time of its construction (only a few suspension bridges had longer spans).
Explanation:
Answer:
- the capacity of the pump reduces by 35%.
- the head gets reduced by 57%.
the power consumption by the pump is reduced by 72%
Explanation:
the pump capacity is related to the speed as speed is reduces by 35%
so new speed is (100 - 35) = 65% of orginal speed
speed Q ∝ N ⇒ Q1/Q2 = N1/N2
Q2 = (N2/N1)Q1
Q2 = (65/100)Q1
which means that the capacity of the pump is also reduces by 35%.
the head in a pump is related by
H ∝ N² ⇒ H1/H2 = N1²/N2²
H2 = (N2N1)²H1
H2 = (65/100)²H1 = 0.4225H1
so the head gets reduced by 1 - 0.4225 = 0.5775 which is 57%.
Now The power requirement of a pump is related as
P ∝ N³ ⇒ P1/P2 = N1³/N2³
P2 = (N2/N1)³P1
H2 = (65/100)²P1 = 0.274P1
So the reduction in power is 1 - 0.274 = 0.725 which is 72%
Therefore for a reduction of 35% of speed there is a reduction of 72% of the power consumption by the pump.
Answer:
D. Perform a thorough visual inspection.
Answer:
15.24°C
Explanation:
The quality of any heat pump pumping heat from cold to hot place is determined by its coefficient of performance (COP) defined as
Where Q_{in} is heat delivered into the hot place, in this case, the house, and W is the work used to pump heat
You can think of this quantity as similar to heat engine's efficiency
In our case, the COP of our heater is
Where T_{house} = 24°C and T_{out} is temperature outside
To achieve maximum heating, we will have to use the most efficient heat pump, and, according to the second law of thermodynamics, nothing is more efficient that Carnot Heat Pump
Which has COP of:
So we equate the COP of our heater with COP of Carnot heater
Rearrange the equation
Solve this simple quadratic equation, and you should get that the lowest outdoor temperature that could still allow heat to be pumped into your house would be
15.24°C
