Answer:

Space Rovers

Explanation:

The engineering advancement of the invention space rovers has changed space exploration tremendously. The first space rover ever to go out onto another planet was made by NASA and put on mars to learn more about the red planet and see if there where any plausible signs of past or maybe even present life. This mission was incredibly successful and for the first time in space exploration history, there was a spacecraft that you could move around that could with do the conditions of the planet for weeks, months, sometimes years at a time, moving around taking pictures and constantly collecting data. This was revolutionary for scientists, this way they could get copious amounts of information just on rover and not having to send multiple crafts only to die in the first few hours but sending back a relative amount of information. With rovers you can have them collect samples and bring the back to earth, not something that could’ve been done without a human, until rovers. They have completely changed and improved collecting data from other planets and have been one of the most revolutionary inventions when it comes to space exploration.

This is what I put for the answer, hope it helps in some way.

1. A glass window of width W = 1 m and height H = 2 m is 5 mm thick and has a thermal conductivity of kg = 1.4 W/m*K. If the inn

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

1. $\dot Q=19600\ W$

2. $\dot Q=120\ W$

Explanation:

Given:

height of the window pane, $h=2\ m$

width of the window pane, $w=1\ m$

thickness of the pane, $t=5\ mm= 0.005\ m$

thermal conductivity of the glass pane, $k_g=1.4\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

temperature of the inner surface, $T_i=15^{\circ}C$

temperature of the outer surface, $T_o=-20^{\circ}C$

<u>According to the Fourier's law the rate of heat transfer is given as:</u>

$\dot Q=k_g.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

here:

A = area through which the heat transfer occurs = $2\times 1=2\ m^2$

dT = temperature difference across the thickness of the surface = $35^{\circ}C$

dx = t = thickness normal to the surface = $0.005\ m$

$\dot Q=1.4\times 2\times \frac{35}{0.005}$

$\dot Q=19600\ W$

air spacing between two glass panes, $dx=0.01\ m$

area of each glass pane, $A=2\times 1=2\ m^2$

thermal conductivity of air, $k_a=0.024\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

temperature difference between the surfaces, $dT=25^{\circ}C$

<u>Assuming layered transfer of heat through the air and the air between the glasses is always still:</u>

$\dot Q=k_a.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

$\dot Q=0.024\times 2\times \frac{25}{0.01}$

$\dot Q=120\ W$

g The function below takes a single string parameter: sentence. Complete the function to return everything but the middle 10 cha

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

def processString(sentence):
middle = len(sentence) // 2
output = sentence[0: middle - 5] + sentence[middle+5:]
return output
print(processString("I have a dream"))

Explanation:

Create a function processString that take sentence as input paratemer (Line 1).

Next create a variable middle to hold the value of middle index of sentence string (Line 2)

Build the output string by slicing the input sentence from first character to character middle - 5th and from middle + 5th till the end of the string (Line 3).

Test the function using a sample sentence and we shall get the output "I am"

Water (cp = 4180 J/kg·°C) enters the 2.5 cm internal diameter tube of a double-pipe counter-flow heat exchanger at 17°C at a rat

aksik [14]

Answer:

Length = 129.55m, 129.55m

Explanation:

Given:

cp of water = 4180 J/kg·°C

Diameter, D = 2.5 cm

Temperature of water in = 17°C

Temperature of water out = 80°C

mass rate of water =1.8 kg/s.

Steam condensing at 120°C

Temperature at saturation = 120°C

hfg of steam at 120°C = 2203 kJ/kg

overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger = 700 W/m2 ·°C

U = 700 W/m2 ·°C

Since Temperature of steam is at saturation,

temperature of steam going in = temperature of steam out = 120°C

Energy balance:

Heat gained by water = Heat loss by steam

Let specific capacity of steam = 2010kJ/Kg .°C

Find attached the full solution to the question.

The ingredient weights for making 1 yd (cyd) of concrete by assuming aggregates in SSD state are given below. The volume of air

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ans) Given batch weight of each component :

Cement = 700 lb

Water = 315 lb

Coarse aggregate = 1575 lb

Fine aggregate = 1100 lb

Part 1) Amount of water = 328.5 lb

Amount of water is needed to be increased if the aggregates has absorption capacity, To maintain constant water cement ratio, the mixing water is increased because some of the water is absorbed by aggregates.

Amount of water absorbed = 328.5 lb - 315 lb = 13.5 lb

Total amount of aggregates = 1575 + 1100 = 2675 lb

=> % Absorption capacity = 13.5 x 100 / 2675 = 0.5 %

Hence, new amount of Coarse aggregate = (1 - 0.005) x 1575 lb = 1567.125 lb

New amount of fine aggregate = (1 - 0.005) x 1100 = 1094.5 lb

Since, water cement ratio is maintained constant , amount of cement remains unchanged

=> Volume of water = 328.5 / 62.4 = 5.26 ft3

=> Volume of cement = 700 / (3.15 x 62.4) = 3.56 ft3

=> Volume of coarse aggregate = 1567.125 / (2.4 x 62.4) = 10.46 ft3

=> Volume of fine aggregate = 1100 / (2.4 x 62.4) = 7.34 ft3

Volume of air = 2% = 0.02 x 27 = 0.54 ft3

Total concrete volume = 5.26 + 3.56 + 10.46 + 7.34 + 0.54 \approx 27 ft3 = 1 yd3

Hence, calculated amount of each component is correct

Part 2) We know, minus sign indicated that the aggregate will absorb some moisture from concrete, hence mixing water amount needed to be corrected .

=> Amount of water absorbed by coarse aggregate = 0.01 x 1567.125 lb = 15.67 lb

=> Amount of water absorbed by fine aggregate = 0.02 x 1094.50 lb = 21.89 lb

Total amount of water absorbed = 15.67 + 21.89 = 37.56 lb

To maintain same water cement ratio, amount of mixing water is needed to be increased

=> Corrected amount of mixing water = 328.5 lb + 37.56 lb = 366 lb

=> Corrected amount of coarse aggregate = (1 - 0.01) x 1567.125 = 1551.45 lb

=> Corrected amount of fine aggregate = (1 - 0.02) x 1094.5 = 1072.6 lb

Part 3) We know,

Unit weight = Sum of weight of each material / Total volume

=> Sum of weight = 366 + 700 + 1551.45 + 1072.6 = 3690.05 lb

Total volume = 1 yd3 or 27 ft3

=> Expected Unit Weight = 3690.05 lb / 27 ft3 = 136.67 lb/ft3

Also, Concrete Yield = Weight of all components / Unit weight of concrete

=> Yield = 3690.05 / 136.67 = 27 ft3 or 1 yd3
