How deep does electrical conduit need to be buried?

1 answer:

7 0

In general, bury metal conduits at least 6 inches below the soil surface. You may also run them at a depth of 4 inches under a 4-inch concrete slab. Under your driveway, the conduits must be below a depth of 18 inches, and under a public road or alleyway, they must be buried below 24 inches.

What should you, the worker, be aware of with regard to evacuation procedures at your workplace

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

As a worker, it is important to follow the proper set of instructions or emergency plans during an emergent situation. Not carefully following the rules may result to a bigger problem such as further injury and damage to property.

Explanation:

Evacuation Procedure- This is a step-by-step procedure that people follow in order to safely vacate any building or place. This procedure is applicable to any situation, such as the workplace. This is now called the Workplace Evacuation Procedure. This is very important because there are so many unpredictable situations or events that are happening in the world right now, such as fire or earthquake. This procedure is being done through an evacuation plan.

The awareness of the workers regarding the proper way to evacuate during emergency situation is very important. It will be easier for them to know where to locate the nearest exit route. They will also learn to stop any form of device or equipment that could cause a hazzard during the situation. In case of the hospital, which is also a workplace, the employees will also learn how to assist the patients before themselves. They will also know where to assemble if there's a need to do so.

What does the air change rate represent?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

The removal or addition of air volume to the space is the air change rate
The rate of air change is positive when air volume is added to the space and the rate of air change is negative when air volume is removed from the space.
The standard built home has a 0.5 to 1 of air change rate.
The rate of air change is dependent on the building (how the building form)

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 10 MPa and 500°C and leaves at 10 kPa with a quality of 90 percent. Neglecting the changes

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The mass flow rate of steam m=5.4 Kg/s

Explanation:

Given:

At the inlet of turbine P=10 MPa ,T=500 C

AT the exit of turbine P=10 KPa ,x=0.9

Required power=5 MW

From steam table

At 10 MPa and 500 C:

h=3374 KJ/Kg ,s=6.59 KJ/Kg-K (Super heated steam table)

At 10 KPa:

$h_g$ =2675.1 KJ/Kg, $h_f$ =417.51 KJ/Kg

$s_g$ = 7.3 KJ/Kg-K , $s_f$ =1.3 KJ/Kg-K

So enthalpy of steam at the exit of turbine

h= $h_f+x(h_g- h_f)$

Now by putting the values

h= 417.51+0.9(2675.1- 417.51) KJ/Kg

h=2449.34 KJ/Kg

Lets take m is the mass flow rate of steam

So $5\times 10^3=m\times (3374-2449.34)$

m=5.4 Kg/s

So the mass flow rate of steam m=5.4 Kg/s

Methane gas is 304 C with 4.5 tons of mass flow per hour to an uninsulated horizontal pipe with a diameter of 25 cm. It enters a

Arada [10]

Answer:

a) $h_c = 0.1599 W/m^2-K$

b) $H_{loss} = 5.02 W$

c) $T_s = 302 K$

d) $\dot{Q} = 25.125 W$

Explanation:

Non horizontal pipe diameter, d = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Radius, r = 0.25/2 = 0.125 m

Entry temperature, T₁ = 304 + 273 = 577 K

Exit temperature, T₂ = 284 + 273 = 557 K

Ambient temperature, $T_a = 25^0 C = 298 K$

Pipe length, L = 10 m

Area, A = 2πrL

A = 2π * 0.125 * 10

A = 7.855 m²

Mass flow rate,

$\dot{ m} = 4.5 tons/hr\\\dot{m} = \frac{4.5*1000}{3600} = 1.25 kg/sec$

Rate of heat transfer,

$\dot{Q} = \dot{m} c_p ( T_1 - T_2)\\\dot{Q} = 1.25 * 1.005 * (577 - 557)\\\dot{Q} = 25.125 W$

a) To calculate the convection coefficient relationship for heat transfer by convection:

$\dot{Q} = h_c A (T_1 - T_2)\\25.125 = h_c * 7.855 * (577 - 557)\\h_c = 0.1599 W/m^2 - K$

Note that we cannot calculate the heat loss by the pipe to the environment without first calculating the surface temperature of the pipe.

c) The surface temperature of the pipe:

Smear coefficient of the pipe, $k_c = 0.8$

$\dot{Q} = k_c A (T_s - T_a)\\25.125 = 0.8 * 7.855 * (T_s - 298)\\T_s = 302 K$

b) Heat loss from the pipe to the environment:

$H_{loss} = h_c A(T_s - T_a)\\H_{loss} = 0.1599 * 7.855( 302 - 298)\\H_{loss} = 5.02 W$

d) The required fan control power is 25.125 W as calculated earlier above

explain each of the following kinds of rockets: Solid-Fuel Rocket, Liquid-Fuel Rocket, Ion Rocket and Plasma Rocket.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

ur answer friend

Explanation:

answer

Solid-Fuel Rocket - a solid-propellant rocket or solid rocket is a rocket with a rocket engine that uses solid propellants. The earliest rockets were solid-fuel rockets powered by gunpowder; they were used in warfare by the Chinese, Indians, Mongols and Persians, as early as 13th century.

Liquid-Fuel Rocket - a liquid-propellant rocket or liquid rocket utilizes a rocket engine that use liqiud propellants. An inert gas stored in a tank at a high pressure is sometimes used instead of pumps in simpler small engines to force the propellants into the combustion chamber.

Ion Rocket - an ion thruster or ion drive is a form of electric propulsion used for spacecraft propulsion. It creates thrust by accelerating ions using electricity. The Deep Space 1 spacecraft, powered by an ion thruster, changed velocity by 4.3 km/s ( 9600 mph ) while consuming less than 74 kg ( 163 lb ) of xenon.

Plasma Rocket - in this type of rocket, a combination of electric and magnetic fields are used to break down the atoms and molecules of a propellant gas into a collection of particles that have either a positive charge (ions) or a negative charge (electrons). In other words, the propellant gas becomes a plasma.
