Joe is a chemical engineer whose plant discharges heavy metals into the local river. By the test authorized by the city governme

nt, the amount of heavy metals is under the legal limit imposed by the city. By a new and more accurate test, the discharge is above the legal limit, that is, the discharge is in violation of environmental rules. Joe argues with his manager that the plant should reduce its discharges to comply with the newer and more accurate test.
The case contains a conceptual issue insofar as:


A.the issue is whether present emission rates constitute a violation of city regulations.


B.the issue is what is meant by “violation.”


C.the issue is how Joe should balance his obligations to his employer against his obligations to city residents.


D.the issue is whether the heavy metals presently emitted by the plant pose a threat to the health of the community.

Answer:

B probably

Explanation:

Because the prompt doesn't specify what sort of violation it could be anything maybe when they release the metals during the day and so on.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

T = 15 kN

F = 23.33 kN

Explanation:

Given the data in the question,

We apply the impulse momentum principle on the total system,

mv₁ + ∑\int\limits^{t2}_{t1} {Fx} \, dt = mv₂

we substitute

[50 + 3(30)]×10³ × 0 + FΔt = [50 + 3(30)]×10³ ×  ( 45 × 1000 / 3600 )  

F( 75 - 0 ) =  1.75 × 10⁶

The resultant frictional tractive force F is will then be;

F =  1.75 × 10⁶ / 75

F = 23333.33 N

F = 23.33 kN

Applying the impulse momentum principle on the three cars;

mv₁ + ∑\int\limits^{t2}_{t1} {Fx} \, dt = mv₂

[3(30)]×10³ × 0 + FΔt = [3(30)]×10³ ×  ( 45 × 1000 / 3600 )  

F(75-0) = 1.125 × 10⁶

The force T developed is then;

T =  1.125 × 10⁶ / 75

T = 15000 N

T = 15 kN

saveliy_v [14]

Complete Question

For some metal alloy, a true stress of 345 MPa (50040 psi) produces a plastic true strain of 0.02. How much will a specimen of this material elongate when a true stress of 411 MPa (59610 psi) is applied if the original length is 470 mm (18.50 in.)?Assume a value of 0.22 for the strain-hardening exponent, n.

Answer:

The elongation is =21.29mm

Explanation:

In order to gain a good understanding of this solution let define some terms

True Stress

       A true stress can be defined as the quotient obtained when instantaneous applied load is divided by instantaneous cross-sectional area of a material it can be denoted as \sigma_T.

True Strain

     A true strain can be defined as the value obtained when the natural logarithm quotient of instantaneous gauge length divided by original gauge length of a material is being bend out of shape by a uni-axial force. it can be denoted as \epsilon_T.

The mathematical relation between stress to strain on the plastic region of deformation is

              \sigma _T =K\epsilon^n_T

Where K is a constant

          n is known as the strain hardening exponent

           This constant K can be obtained as follows

                        K = \frac{\sigma_T}{(\epsilon_T)^n}

No substituting  345MPa \ for  \ \sigma_T, \ 0.02 \ for \ \epsilon_T , \ and  \ 0.22 \ for  \ n from the question we have

                     K = \frac{345}{(0.02)^{0.22}}

                          = 815.82MPa

Making \epsilon_T the subject from the equation above

              \epsilon_T = (\frac{\sigma_T}{K} )^{\frac{1}{n} }

Substituting \ 411MPa \ for \ \sigma_T \ 815.82MPa \ for \ K  \ and  \  0.22 \ for \ n

       \epsilon_T = (\frac{411MPa}{815.82MPa} )^{\frac{1}{0.22} }

            =0.0443

       

From the definition we mentioned instantaneous length and this can be  obtained mathematically as follows

           l_i = l_o e^{\epsilon_T}

Where

       l_i is the instantaneous length

      l_o is the original length

Substituting  \ 470mm \ for \ l_o \ and \ 0.0443 \ for  \ \epsilon_T

             l_i = 470 * e^{0.0443}

                =491.28mm

We can also obtain the elongated length mathematically as follows

            Elongated \ Length =l_i - l_o

Substituting \ 470mm \ for l_o and \ 491.28 \ for \ l_i

          Elongated \ Length = 491.28 - 470

                                       =21.29mm

An irreversible heat pump and a Carnot heat pump operate between the same two thermal reservoirs. Which heat pump has higher COP
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Carnot heat pump

Explanation:

Carnot heat pump is an ideal heat pump in which all processes are reversible and that consume minimum amount of work to and produces maximum amount of heating effect compare to all real engine.And that is why COP of Carnot heat pump is more as compare to real heat pump.

All real heat pump are not perfectly reversible heat pump So this is also called irreversible heat pump .Due to irreversibility the COP of  irreversible heat pump is always  less than the COP of  Carnot heat pump.
