What are some of the most complex building types to design?.

Strangely enough, the most complex building to design is the common house. I know, they’re like belly buttons, even if you don’t have one yourself, you know someone that has one, and you’ve certainly been in one.

A house has all the ingredients that you will find in far more complex buildings. On top of that, they are there in small quantities.

Nearly every house has a kitchen, bathroom, laundry and toilet. You will also find some of these in hospitals, hotels, parking stations, office blocks, sewerage works, defence facilities and so on.

The only difference is that in a house, there may only be one of these and it must be the right size, shape and position so that it is suitable for use. Even the doorways must be positioned correctly - to allow for ventilation, light, privacy , ease of access, safety and even feng-shui.

Each room must be the right size for its’ occupants and its’ usage. Bedrooms should have a window or some other method of providing natural light. Toilets and bathrooms should allow for privacy.

The materials that it is built of should be fit for purpose. The roof should provide shelter from the elements. The walls should be able to support the weight of the roof and provide shelter and security for the occupants. The floor should be stable and strong and able to support the activities that are carried out in the house.

On top of all that, it must look good - to somebody. It also must be comfortable to live in, otherwise the design is a fail. That doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be cheap to build. A good designer designs with one eye on the asthetics, the other eye on the usage and utility and his hand firmly closed around the cheque-book.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

$P(37.5$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-2.5$

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(-2.5$

So then the percentage usable are 94,6%

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the diameters of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(37.8,0.12)$

Where $\mu=37.8$ and $\sigma=0.12$

We are interested on this probability

$P(37.5$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(37.5$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-2.5$

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(-2.5$

So then the percentage usable are 94,6%

Consider a 1.80-m-tall man standing vertically in water and completely submerged in a pool. Determine the difference between the

defon

Answer:

17.658 kPa

Explanation:

The hydrostatic pressure of a fluid is the weight of a column of that fluid divided by the base of that column.

$P = \frac{weight}{base}$

Also, the weight of a column is its volume multiplied by it's density and the acceleration of gravity:

$weight = \delta * v * g$

Meanwhile, the volume of a column is the area of the base multiplied by the height:

$V = base * h$

Replacing:

$P = \frac{\delta * base * h * g}{base}$

The base cancels out, so:

$P = \delta * h * g$

The pressure depends only on the height of the fluid column, the density of the fluid and the gravity.

If you have two point at different heights (or depths in the case of objects submerged in water) each point will have its own column of fluid exerting pressure on it. Since the density of the fluid and the acceleration of gravity are the same for both points (in the case of hydrostatics density is about constant for all points, it is not the case in the atmosphere), we can write:

$\Delta P = \rho * g * (h1 - h2)$

We do not know at what depth the man of this problem is, but it doesn't matter, because we know the difference in height of the two points of interes (h1 - h2) = 1.8 m. So:

$\Delta P = 9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2} } * 1000 \frac{kg}{m^3} * 1.8 m = 17658 Pa = 17.658 kPa$

True or False: It is uncommon for electrocution to cause crane incidents.

xz_007 [3.2K]

It is uncommon for electrocution to cause crane incidents: False.

<h3>What is electrocution?</h3>

Electrocution can be defined as a process through which a certain amount of electric current (electricity) passes through the body of a living organism, thereby, leading to death or severe injury.

According to the occupational safety and health administration (OSHA), it is very common for electrocution to cause crane incidents and accidents when adequate safety precautions are not adopted.

Chlorine is one of the important commodity chemicals for the global economy. Before the advent of large scale

artcher [175]

The composition of gas in the feed, the percentage conversion and the

theoretical yield are combined to give the product stream composition.

Response:

The composition of gas in the product stream are;

HCl: 0.4 kmol/h, Cl₂: 1.6 kmol/h, H₂O: 1.6 kmol/h, O₂: 0.5 kmol/h

<h3>How can percentage conversion give the contents of the product stream?</h3>

The amount of oxygen used = 30% exceeding the theoretical amount

Number of moles of hydrochloric acid = 4 kmol/h

Percentage conversion = 80%

Required:

The composition of the gas in the product feed.

Solution;

The given reaction is; 4HCl + O₂ $\longrightarrow$ 2Cl₂ + 2H₂O

$Percentage \ conversion = \mathbf{ \dfrac{Moles \ of \ limiting \ reactant \ reacted}{Moles \ of \ limiting \ reactant \ supplied \ in \ the \, feed}}$
