Capillary action occurs When the adhesion to the walls stronger than dirt cohesive forces between a liquid molecules. the head towards Capillery action will take water in a uniform circular is limited by surface tension and, of course, gravity.

Two sites are being considered for wind power generation. On the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 m/s for 3000 hours per

kirill [66]

Solution :

Given :

$V_1 = 7 \ m/s$

Operation time, $T_1$ = 3000 hours per year

$V_2 = 10 \ m/s$

Operation time, $T_2$ = 2000 hours per year

The density, ρ = $1.25 \ kg/m^3$

The wind blows steadily. So, the K.E. = $(0.5 \dot{m} V^2)$

$= \dot{m} \times 0.5 V^2$

The power generation is the time rate of the kinetic energy which can be calculated as follows:

Power = $\Delta \ \dot{K.E.} = \dot{m} \frac{V^2}{2}$

Regarding that $\dot m \propto V$ . Then,

Power $\propto V^3$ → Power = constant x $V^3$

Since, $\rho_a$ is constant for both the sites and the area is the same as same winf turbine is used.

For the first site,

Power, $P_1= \text{const.} \times V_1^3$

$P_1 = \text{const.} \times 343 \ W$

For the second site,

Power, $P_2 = \text{const.} \times V_2^3 \ W$

$P_2 = \text{const.} \times 1000 \ W$

Using the celsius_to_kelvin function as a guide, create a new function, changing the name to kelvin_to_celsius, and modifying th

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

# kelvin_to_celsius function is defined

# it has value_kelvin as argument

def kelvin_to_celsius(value_kelvin):

# value_celsius is initialized to 0.0

value_celsius = 0.0

# value_celsius is calculated by

# subtracting 273.15 from value_kelvin

value_celsius = value_kelvin - 273.15

# value_celsius is returned

return value_celsius

# celsius_to_kelvin function is defined

# it has value_celsius as argument

def celsius_to_kelvin(value_celsius):

# value_kelvin is initialized to 0.0

value_kelvin = 0.0

# value_kelvin is calculated by

# adding 273.15 to value_celsius

value_kelvin = value_celsius + 273.15

# value_kelvin is returned

return value_kelvin

value_c = 0.0

value_k = 0.0

value_c = 10.0

# value_c = 10.0 is used to test the function celsius_to_kelvin

# the result is displayed

print(value_c, 'C is', celsius_to_kelvin(value_c), 'K')

value_k = 283.15

# value_k = 283.15 is used to test the function kelvin_to_celsius

# the result is displayed

print(value_k, 'is', kelvin_to_celsius(value_k), 'C')

Which of the following best distinguishes between superficial design improvements and functional

Contact [7]

Answer:

Superficial design improvements are typically only trivial changes to a design, while functional design improvements can change the way a product or process is used to significantly enhance performance.

Explanation:

As a PC board designer, I would sometimes spend a certain amount of time making traces have shorter routes, or fewer layer changes or bends. (I wanted to make the layout "pretty.") In some cases, these changes are superficial, affecting the appearance only. In some cases, they are functional, reducing crosstalk or emissions or susceptibility to interference.

I deal with a web site that seems to be changing all the time (Brainly). In many cases, the same information is rearranged on the page—a superficial change. In other cases, the information being displayed changes, or the way that certain information is accessed changes. These are functional changes. (Sometimes, they "enhance performance," and sometimes they don't, IMO.)

In short ...

<em>Superficial design improvements are typically only trivial changes to a design, while functional design improvements can change the way a product or process is used to significantly enhance performance.</em>

A westbound section of freeway currently has three 12-ft wide lanes, a 6-ft right shoulder, and no ramps within 3 miles upstream

Tresset [83]

Answer:

•Estimated density = 39.685Pc/mi/en

•Level of service, LOS frequency = LOSC

Explanation:

We are given:

•Freeway current lane width,B = 12ft

• freeway current shoulder width,b = 6ft

• percentage of heavy vehicle, Ptb = 10℅

• peak hour factor, PHF = 0.9

Let's consider,

•Number of lanes N = 4

• flow of traffic V = 7500vph

• percentage of Rv = 0, therefore the freeflow speed in freeway FFS = 70mph

• cars equivalent for recreational purpose Er= 2

•cars to be used for trucks and busses Etb= 2.5

Let's first calculate for the heavy adjustment factor.

We have:

$F_H_v = \frac{1}{1+P_t_b(E_t_b-1)+Pr(Er-1)}$

Substituting figures in the equation we have:

$= \frac{1}{1+0.1(2.5-1)+0(2-1)}$

= 0.75

Let's now calculate equivalent flow rate of the car using:

$Vp = \frac{V}{(P_H_F)*N)*(F_H_v)*(F_p)}$

$= \frac{7500}{0.9*4*0.75*1}$

= 2777.7 pc/h/en

Calculating for traffic density, we have:

$D = \frac{Vp}{FFS}$

$D = \frac{2777.7}{70}$

D = 39.685 Pc/mi/en

Using the table for LOS criteria of basic frequency segment, the level of service LOS of frequency is LOSC
