What is acid mine drainage

Engineering
1 answer:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
7 0
Acid mine drainage is the formation and movement of highly acidic water rich in heavy metals. This acidic water forms through the chemical reaction of surface water (rainwater, snowmelt, pond water) and shallow subsurface water with rocks that contain sulfur-bearing minerals, resulting in sulfuric acid.

3.8. Describe the two alternatives for specifying structural constraints on relationship types. What are the advantages and disa
forsale [732]

Answer: CARDINALITY RATIO AND PARTICIPATION

ADVANTAGE

CARDINALITY RATIO

(THEY ARE USED TO SIMPLIFY DESIGNS)

DISADVANTAGE OF CARDINALITY RATIO IS THAT

(YOU CAN NOT SPECIFY A GIVEN NUMBER TO BE MAXIMUM)

ADVANTAGE OF PARTICIPATION CONSTRAINT IS THAT

(IT SHOWS WETHER THE EXISTENCE OF AN ENTITY IS DEPENDENT ON ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH ANOTHER ENTITY)

DISADVANTAGE OF PARTICIPATION CONSTRAINT

(IT IS A COSTLY AFFAIR USING BOTH MODELS TO EXPRESEE RELATIONSHIPS).

Explanation:CARDINALITY RATIO specifies that maximum number of relationships an entity can engage itself in.

Participation constraint is a constraint that

Specifies whether the existence of an entity depends on its Relationships to another entity, it specifies the the minimum number of relationship instances that an entity can participate in

It is also minimum cardinality constraint,it has two types named as Total participation and partial participation.

Which of the following is not used for setting out right angles
aliina [53]
Optical squares are simple sighting instruments used to set out right angles. They can be provided either with mirrors or with one or two prisms. Because of practical difficulties in using squares with mirrors, they have been replaced by squares with prisms: "prismatic squares".

calculate the magnitude of the force acting on the pin at D. Pin C is fixed in DE and bears against the smooth slot in the trian
Olenka [21]

Answer:

hello your question lacks the required diagram attached below is the diagram

answer : 58.47 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the force acting on the Pin D

Fd = \sqrt{Dx^2 + Dy^2}

    = \sqrt{16.80^2 + 56^2}

    = 58.465 N

Dx = 16.80 N

Dy = 56 N

hello attached below is the detailed solution

A manometer consists of an inclined glass tube which communicates with a metal cylinder standing upright; liquid fills the appar
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

48.61

Explanation:

See attached diagram.

The level rise in the tube is l sin α.

The level drop in the cylinder (let's call it y) is:

π/4 D² y = π/4 d² l

D² y = d² l

y = l (d/D)²

The elevation difference is the sum:

l sin α + l (d/D)²

l (sin α + (d/D)²)

From Bernoulli's principle:

P = ρgl (sin α + (d/D)²)

Divide both sides by density of water (ρw) and gravity:

P/(ρw g) = (ρ/ρw) l (sin α + (d/D)²)

h = S l (sin α + (d/D)²)

If we disregard the level change in the cylinder:

h = S l (sin α)

We want the percent error between these two expressions for h to be 0.1% when α = 25°.

[ S l (sin α + (d/D)²) − S l (sin α) ] / [ S l (sin α + (d/D)²) ] = 0.001

[ S l sin α + S l (d/D)² − S l sin α ] / [ S l (sin α + (d/D)²) ] = 0.001

[ S l (d/D)² ] / [ S l (sin α + (d/D)²)]  = 0.001

(d/D)² / (sin α + (d/D)²) = 0.001

(d/D)² = 0.001 (sin α + (d/D)²)

(d/D)² = 0.001 sin α + 0.001 (d/D)²

0.999 (d/D)² = 0.001 sin α

d/D = √(0.001 sin α / 0.999)

When α = 25°:

d/D ≈ 0.02057

D/d ≈ 48.61
