Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class FindMatchValue {

  public static void main (String [] args) {

     Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);

     final int NUM_VALS = 4;

     int[] userValues = new int[NUM_VALS];

     int i;

     int matchValue;

     int numMatches = -99; // Assign numMatches with 0 before your for loop

     matchValue = scnr.nextInt();

     for (i = 0; i < userValues.length; ++i) {

        userValues[i] = scnr.nextInt();

     }

     /* Your solution goes here */

         numMatches = 0;

     for (i = 0; i < userValues.length; ++i) {

        if(userValues[i] == matchValue) {

                       numMatches++;

                }

     }

     System.out.println("matchValue: " + matchValue + ", numMatches: " + numMatches);

When a circuit has more resistance, what happens to current flow ?
zloy xaker [14]
The relationship between resistance and the area of the cross section of a wire is inversely proportional . When resistance is increased in a circuit , for example by adding more electrical components , the current decreases as a result.

A 0.19-m3 rigid tank equipped with a pressure regulator contains steam at 2 MPa and 300°C. The steam in the tank is now heated.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

576.21kJ

Explanation:

#We know that:

The balance mass m_{in}+m_{out}=\bigtriangleup m_{system}

so, m_e=m_1-m_2

Energy \ Balance\\E_{in}-E_{out}=\bigtriangleup E_{system}\\\\\therefore Q_i_n+m_eh_e=m_2u_2-m_1u_1

#Also, given the properties of water as;

(P_1=2Mpa,T_1=300\textdegree C)->v_1=0.12551m^3/kg,u_1=2773.2kJ/kg->h_1=3024.2kJ/kg\\\\(P_2=2Mpa,T_1=500\textdegree C)->v_2=0.17568m^3/kg,u_1=3116.9kJ/kg->h_1=3468.3kJ/kg

#We assume constant properties for the steam at average temperatures:h_e=\approx(h_1+h_2)/2

#Replace known values in the equation above;h_e=(3024.2+3468.3)/2=3246.25kJ/kg\\\\m_1=V_1/v_1=0.19m^3/(0.12551m^3/kg)=1.5138kg\\\\m_2=V_2/v_2=0.19m^3/(0.17568m^3/kg)=1.0815kg

#Using the mass and energy balance relations;

m_e=m_1-m_2\\\\m_e=1.5138-1.0815\\\\m_e=0.4323kg

#We have Q_i_n+m_eh_e=m_2u_2-m_1u_1: we replace the known values in the equation as;

Q_i_n+m_eh_e=m_2u_2-m_1u_1\\\\Q_i_n=0.4323kg\times3246.2kJ/kg+1.0815kg\times3116.9-1.5138kg\times2773.2kJ/kg\\\\Q_i_n=573.21kJ

#Hence,the amount of heat transferred when the steam temperature reaches 500°C is 576.21kJ

What oil specification is used to express the thickness (viscosity) of the oil?​
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Viscosity is notated using the common classification “XW-XX”. The number preceding the “W” (winter) rates the oil's flow (viscosity) at zero degrees Fahrenheit (-17.8 degrees Celsius). The lower the number, the less the oil thickens in cold weather.

An example of a transient analysis involving the 1st law of thermodynamics and conservation of mass is the filling of a compress
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

<em>The temperature will be greater than 25°C</em>

Explanation:

In an adiabatic process, heat is not transferred to or from the boundary of the system. The gain or loss of internal heat energy is solely from the work done on the system, or work done by the system. The work done on the system by the environment adds heat to the system, and work done by the system on its environment takes away heat from the system.

mathematically

Change in the internal energy of a system ΔU = ΔQ + ΔW

in an adiabatic process, ΔQ = 0

therefore

ΔU = ΔW

where ΔQ is the change in heat into the system

ΔW is the work done by or done on the system

when work is done on the system, it is conventionally negative, and vice versa.

also W = pΔv

where p is the pressure, and

Δv = change in volume of the system.

In this case,<em> work is done on the gas by compressing it from an initial volume to the new volume of the cylinder. The result is that the temperature of the gas will rise above the initial temperature of 25°C </em>
