Answer:

True

Explanation:

According to Investopedia.com, "Disruptive technology is an innovation that significantly alters the way that consumers, industries, or businesses operate".

So yes, a disruptive does radically change the way people live and work.

Answer: The technological changes that damage established companies are usually not radically new or difficult from a technological point of view. They do, however, have two important characteristics: First, they typically present a different package of performance attributes—ones that, at least at the outset, are not valued by existing customers. Second, the performance attributes that existing customers do value improve at such a rapid rate that the new technology can later invade those established markets. Only at this point will mainstream customers want the technology. Unfortunately for the established suppliers, by then it is often too late: the pioneers of the new technology dominate the market.

1. Which of the following will cause a spark knock?

zlopas [31]

Answer:

I couldn't find options for your question online, but I can give you an explanation so you can choose the correct option.

Explanation:

A spark knock is a form of unpredictable behavior that occurs in combustion, that is, in the chemical reaction that occurs between oxygen and an oxidizable material. Such combustion is usually manifested by incandescence or flame.

The spark knock is a detonation that occurs when there is a lot of pressure in the fuel.

Some situations in which this can happen are:

Engine overloaded.
Maximum pressure in the cylinders.
Engine overheated.
Overheated air.
Long and excessive engine ignition timing.
Spark plug at high temperatures.

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat- regenerative Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 80 MW. Steam enters th

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

flow(m) = 54.45 kg/s

thermal efficiency u = 44.48%

Explanation:

Given:

- P_1 = P_8 = 10 KPa

- P_2 = P_3 = P_6 = P_7 = 800 KPa

- P_4 = P_5 = 10,000 KPa

- T_5 = 550 C

- T_7 = 500 C

- Power Output P = 80 MW

Find:

- The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Solution:

State 1:

P_1 = 10 KPa , saturated liquid

h_1 = 192 KJ/kg

v_1 = 0.00101 m^3 / kg

State 2:

P_2 = 800 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_2 = h_1 + v_1 * ( P_2 - P_1)

h_2 = 192 + 0.00101*(790) = 192.80 KJ/kg

State 3:

P_3 = 800 KPa , saturated liquid

h_3 = 721 KJ/kg

v_3 = 0.00111 m^3 / kg

State 4:

P_4 = 10,000 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_4 = h_3 + v_3 * ( P_4 - P_3)

h_4 = 721 + 0.00111*(9200) = 731.21 KJ/kg

State 5:

P_5 = 10,000 KPa , T_5 = 550 C

h_5 = 3500 KJ/kg

s_5 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

State 6:

P_6 = 800 KPa , s_5 = s_6 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

h_6 = 2810 KJ/kg

State 7:

P_7 = 800 KPa , T_7 = 500 C

h_7 = 3480 KJ/kg

s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

State 8:

P_8 = 10 KPa , s_8 = s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

h_8 = 2490 KJ/kg

- Fraction of steam y = flow(m_6 / m_3).

- Use energy balance of steam bleed and cold feed-water:

E_6 + E_2 = E_3

flow(m_6)*h_6 + flow(m_2)*h_3 = flow(m_3)*h_3

y*h_6 + (1-y)*h_3 = h_3

y*2810 + (1-y)*192.8 = 721

Compute y: y = 0.2018

- Heat produced by the boiler q_b:

q_b = h_5 - h_4 +(1-y)*(h_7 - h_8)

q_b = 3500 -731.21 + ( 1 - 0.2018)*(3480 - 2810)

Compute q_b: q_b = 3303.58 KJ/ kg

-Heat dissipated by the condenser q_c:

q_c = (1-y)*(h_8 - h_1)

q_c= ( 1 + 0.2018)*(2810 - 192)

Compute q_c: q_c = 1834.26 KJ/ kg

- Net power output w_net:

w_net = q_b - q_c

w_net = 3303.58 - 1834.26

w_net = 1469.32 KJ/kg

- Given out put P = 80,000 KW

flow(m) = P / w_net

compute flow(m) flow(m) = 80,000 /1469.32 = 54.45 kg/s

- Thermal efficiency u:

u = 1 - (q_c / q_b)

u = 1 - (1834.26/3303.58)

u = 44.48 %

A heat pump operates on a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with R-134a as the working fluid. The refrigerant enters the com

Rudiy27

Answer:

Hello your question has some missing information below are the missing information

The refrigerant enters the compressor as saturated vapor at 140kPa Determine The coefficient of performance of this heat pump

answer : 2.49

Explanation:

For vapor-compression refrigeration cycle

P1 = P4 ; P1 = 140 kPa

P2( pressure at inlet ) = P3 ( pressure at outlet ) ; P2 = 800 kPa

From pressure table of R 134a refrigerant

h1 ( enthalpy of saturated vapor at 140kPa ) = 239.16 kJ/kg

h2 ( enthalpy of saturated liquid at P2 = 800 kPa and t = 60°C )

= 296.8kJ/kg

h3 ( enthalpy of saturated liquid at P3 = 800 kPa ) = 95.47 kJ/kg

also h4 = 95.47 kJ/kg

To determine the coefficient of performance

Cop = ( h1 - h4 ) / ( h2 - h1 )

∴ Cop = 2.49

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Negative feedback

Explanation:

In Biology, negative feedback refers to the counteraction of an effect by its own influence on the process producing it. For instance, the presence of a high level of a particular hormone in the blood may inhibit further secretion of that hormone.

In other words, in negative feedback, the result of a certain action may inhibit further performance of that action

A circuit has a source voltage of 15V and two resistors in series with a total resistance of 4000Ω .If RI has a potential drop o

anastassius [24]

Answer:

1500Ω

Explanation:

Given data

voltage = 15 V

total Resistance = 4000Ω

potential drop V = 9.375 V

To find out

Solution

we know R1 +R2 = 4000Ω

So we use here Ohm's law to find out current I

current = voltage / total resistance

I = 15 / 4000 = 3.75 × $10^{-3}$ A

Now we apply Kirchhoffs Voltage Law for find out R2

R2 = ( 15 - V ) / current

R2 = ( 15 - 9.375 ) / 3.75 × $10^{-3}$

R2 = 1500Ω
