Answer:
Federal agencies
Explanation:
NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) also called between 1901 and 1988 National Bureau of Standards (NBS), it is an agency of the Technology Administration of the United States Department of Commerce. The mission of this institute is to promote innovation and industrial competition in the United States through advances in metrology, standards and technology in ways that improve economic stability and quality of life.
As part of this mission, NIST scientists and engineers continually refine the science of measurement (metrology) by creating precise engineering and manufacturing required for most current technological advances. They are also directly involved in the development and testing of standards made by the private sector and government agencies. The NIST was originally called the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), a name it had from 1901 to 1988. The progress and technological innovation of the United States depends on the abilities of the NIST, especially if we talk about four areas: biotechnology , nanotechnology, information technologies and advanced manufacturing.
Answer:
Explanation:
a) On the verge of tipping over, reaction acts at the corner A
When slippage occurs,
Block moves w/ const. velocity equilibrium
Three-force member: reaction at A must pass through B
tan b/2h, h b/ 2 θ µ = = ∴= k k ( µ )
b) When slippage occurs,
Block moves w/ const. velocity equilibrium
Three-force member: reaction at C must pass through G
k tanθ µ =
tan x/ H/2 , x H/2
Answer:
Explanation:
Approximately, we can use the ideal gas law, below we see how we can deduce the density from general gas equation. To do this, remember that the number of moles n is equal to 
, where m is the mass and M the molar mass of the gas, and the density is 
.
For air 
and 
So, 
Answer:
COP = 3.828
W' = 39.18 Kw
Explanation:
From the table A-11 i attached, we can find the entropy for the state 1 at -20°C.
h1 = 238.43 KJ/Kg
s1 = 0.94575 KJ/Kg.K
From table A-12 attached we can do the same for states 3 and 4 but just enthalpy at 800 KPa.
h3 = h4 = hf = 95.47 KJ/Kg
For state 2, we can calculate the enthalpy from table A-13 attached using interpolation at 800 KPa and the condition s2 = s1. We have;
h2 = 275.75 KJ/Kg
The power would be determined from the energy balance in state 1-2 where the mass flow rate will be expressed through the energy balance in state 4-1.
W' = m'(h2 - h1)
W' = Q'_L((h2 - h1)/(h1 - h4))
Where Q'_L = 150 kW
Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
W' = 150((275.75 - 238.43)/(238.43 - 95.47))
W' = 39.18 Kw
Formula foe COP is;
COP = Q'_L/W'
COP = 150/39.18
COP = 3.828
