Explanation:

Science is the body of knowledge that explores the physical and natural world. Engineering is the application of knowledge in order to design, build and maintain a product or a process that solves a problem and fulfills a need (i.e. a technology).

Consider a vortex filament of strength in the shape of a closed circular loop of radius R. Obtain an expression for the velocity

zysi [14]

Answer:

v = T/(2R)

Explanation:

Given

R = radius

T = strength

From Biot - Savart Law

dv = (T/4π)* (dl x r)/r³

Velocity induced at center

v = ∫ (T/4π)* (dl x r)/r³

⇒ v = ∫ (T/4π)* (dl x R)/R³ (k) k: unit vector perpendicular to plane of loop

⇒ v = (T/4π)(1/R²) ∫ dl

If l ∈ (0, 2πR)

⇒ v = (T/4π)(1/R²)(2πR) (k) ⇒ v = T/(2R) (k)

System grounding on a power system means electrically connecting the __?__ of every wye-connected transformer or generator to ea

irinina [24]

Answer: Neutrals

Explanation: System grounding on a power system is a term used to describe the entire processes involved when a neutral is used as the conductor to connect to the solid earth. This ensures that power is generated. This is usually done using either an inductor, an impendance or a resistor. It is very important and necessary to carry out a proper grounding of a power system in order to ensure the safety of the equipment and the personnel etc

A manufacturer makes two types of drinking straws: one with a square cross-sectional shape, and the other type the typical round

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

$\frac{Q_{square}}{Q_{circle}} = 0.785$

Explanation:

given data

types of drinking straws

square cross-sectional shape
round shape

solution

we know that both perimeter of the cross section are equal

so we can say that

perimeter of square = perimeter of circle

4 × S = π × D

here S is length and D is diameter

S = $\frac{\pi D}{4}$ ....................1

and

ratio of flow rate through the square and circle is here

$\frac{Q_{square}}{Q_{circle}} = \frac{AV^2}{AV^2}$

$\frac{Q_{square}}{Q_{circle}} = \frac{S^2}{\frac{\pi D^2}{4}}$

$\frac{Q_{square}}{Q_{circle}} = \frac{(\frac{\pi D}{4})^2}{\frac{\pi D^2}{4}}$

$\frac{Q_{square}}{Q_{circle}} = \frac{\pi }{4}$

$\frac{Q_{square}}{Q_{circle}} = 0.785$

(35-39) A student travels on a school bus in the middle of winter from home to school. The school bus temperature is 68.0° F. Th

arlik [135]

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:

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

$\dot Q = 417.492\,\frac{BTU}{h}$

Under the consideration of steady heat transfer we find that the net energy transfer from the student's body during the 20 min-ride to school is:

$Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t$ (2)

Where $\Delta t$ is the heat transfer time, measured in hours.

If we know that $\dot Q = 417.492\,\frac{BTU}{h}$ and $\Delta t = \frac{1}{3}\,h$ , then the net energy transfer is:

$Q = \left(417.492\,\frac{BTU}{h} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3}\,h \right)$

$Q = 139.164\,BTU$

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

A dielectric material, such as Teflon®, is placed between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor without altering the structur

Lina20 [59]

Answer: The electric field decreases because of the insertion of the Teflon.

Explanation:

If the charge on the capacitor is held fixed, the electric field as a consequence of this charge distribution (directed from the positive charged plate to the negative charged one remains unchanged.

However, as the Teflon is a dielectric material, even though doesn't allow the free movement of the electrons as an answer to an applied electric field, it allows that the electrons be displaced from the equilibrium position, leaving a local negative-charged zone close to the posiitive plate of the capacitor, and an equal but opposite charged layer close to the negative plate.

In this way, a internal electric field is created, that opposes to the external one due to the capacitor, which overall effect is diminishing the total electric field, reducing the voltage between the plates, and increasing the capacitance proportionally to the dielectric constant of the Teflon.
