"Mass burn technology uses unprocessed municipal solid waste to generate heat which is used to produce electricity."

Flura [38]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Mass burn technology is a type of waste-to-energy technology commonly used in the mass-burn system, where unprocessed municipal solid waste is burned in a large incinerator with a boiler, to generate heat used in the production of electricity.

Answer:

The Euler buckling load of a 160-cm-long column will be 1.33 times the Euler buckling load of an equivalent 120-cm-long column.

Explanation:

160 - 120 = 40

120 = 100

40 = X

40 x 100 / 120 = X

4000 / 120 = X

33.333 = X

120 = 100

160 = X

160 x 100 /120 = X

16000 / 120 = X

133.333 = X

Answer:

The net energy transfer from the student's body during the 20-min ride to school is 139.164 BTU.

Explanation:

From Heat Transfer we determine that heat transfer rate due to electromagnetic radiation ( $\dot Q$ ), measured in BTU per hour, is represented by this formula:

$\dot Q = \epsilon\cdot A\cdot \sigma \cdot (T_{s}^{4}-T_{b}^{4})$ (1)

Where:

$\epsilon$ - Emissivity, dimensionless.

$A$ - Surface area of the student, measured in square feet.

$\sigma$ - Stefan-Boltzmann constant, measured in BTU per hour-square feet-quartic Rankine.

$T_{s}$ - Temperature of the student, measured in Rankine.

$T_{b}$ - Temperature of the bus, measured in Rankine.

If we know that $\epsilon = 0.90$ , $A = 16.188\,ft^{2}$ , $\sigma = 1.714\times 10^{-9}\,\frac{BTU}{h\cdot ft^{2}\cdot R^{4}}$ , $T_{s} = 554.07\,R$ and $T_{b} = 527.67\,R$ , then the heat transfer rate due to electromagnetic radiation is:

$\dot Q = (0.90)\cdot (16.188\,ft^{2})\cdot \left(1.714\times 10^{-9}\,\frac{BTU}{h\cdot ft^{2}\cdot R^{4}} \right)\cdot [(554.07\,R)^{4}-(527.67\,R)^{4}]$
