) A flow is divided into two branches, with the pipe diameter and length the same for each branch. A 1/4-open gate valve is inst

alled in line A, and a 1/3-closed ball valve is installed in line B. The head loss due to friction in each branch is negligible compared with the head loss across the valves. Find the ratio of the velocity in line A to that in line B (include elbow losses for threaded pipe fittings).

Answer:

Va / Vb = 0.5934

Explanation:

First step is to determine total head losses at each pipe

at Pipe A

For 1/4 open gate valve head loss = 17 *Va^2 / 2g

elbow loss = 0.75 Va^2 / 2g

at Pipe B

For 1/3 closed ball valve head loss = 5.5 *Vb^2 / 2g

elbow loss = 0.75 * Vb^2 / 2g

Given that both pipes are parallel

17 *Va^2/2g +  0.75*Va^2 / 2g = 5.5 *Vb^2 / 2g  + 0.75 * Vb^2 / 2g

∴ Va / Vb = 0.5934

Carbon resistors often come as a brown cylinder with colored bands. These colored bands can be read to determine the manufacture
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

a) 4.7 kΩ, +/- 5%

b) 2.0 MΩ, +/- 20%

Explanation:

a) If the resistor has the following combination of color bands:

1) Yellow = 1st digit = 4

2) Violet = 2nd digit = 7

3) Red = multiplier = 10e2

4) Gold = tolerance = +/- 5%

this means that the resistor has 4700 Ω (or 4.7 kΩ), with 5% tolerance.

b) Repeating the process for the following combination of color bands:

1)  Red = 1st digit = 2

2) Black = 2nd digit = 0

3) Green = multiplier = 10e5

4) Nothing = tolerance = +/- 20%

This combination represents to a resistor of 2*10⁶ Ω (or 2.0 MΩ), with +/- 20% tolerance.

Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants use mirrors to concentrate the sun's energy to drive traditional steam turbines or engines that create electricity. The thermal energy concentrated in a CSP plant can be stored and used to produce electricity when it is needed, day or night. Today, roughly 1,815 megawatts (MWac) of CSP plants are in operation in the United States.

Parabolic Trough
Parabolic trough systems use curved mirrors to focus the sun’s energy onto a receiver tube that runs down the center of a trough. In the receiver tube, a high-temperature heat transfer fluid (such as a synthetic oil) absorbs the sun’s energy, reaching temperatures of 750°F or higher, and passes through a heat exchanger to heat water and produce steam. The steam drives a conventional steam turbine power system to generate electricity. A typical solar collector field contains hundreds of parallel rows of troughs connected as a series of loops, which are placed on a north-south axis so the troughs can track the sun from east to west. Individual collector modules are typically 15-20 feet tall and 300-450 feet long.

Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector
CLFR uses the principles of curved-mirror trough systems, but with long parallel rows of lower-cost flat mirrors. These modular reflectors focus the sun's energy onto elevated receivers, which consist of a system of tubes through which water flows. The concentrated sunlight boils the water, generating high-pressure steam for direct use in power generation and industrial steam applications.

Thermosets burn upon heating. a)-True b)- false?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

True, there are several types of polymers, thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers.

Thermosets are characterized by having a reticulated structure, so they have low elasticity and cannot be stretched when heated.

Because of the above, thermosetting polymers burn when heated.
