Answer:

Have the power company install insulated sleeves (also known as “eels”) over power lines.​

Wearing PPE is the only way to prevent being electrocuted

Explanation:

To prevent electrocution at workplace, employers can ensure that the  power company install insulated sleeves (also known as “eels”) over power lines.​ Additionally, the employees should wear PPEs which are insulators to prevent electrocution.

The hot water needs of an office are met by heating tab water by a heat pump from 16 C to 50 C at an average rate of 0.2 kg/min.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

heating tap water from 16° C to 50° C

at the average rate of 0.2 kg/min

the COP of this heat pump is 2.8

power output = ?

COP = \dfrac{Q_H}{W_{in}}\\W_{in} = \dfrac{Q_H}{COP}\\W_{in} = \dfrac{\dfrac{0.2}{60}\times 4.18\times (50-16)}{2.8}\\W_{in} = 0.169

the required power input is 0.169 kW or 0.17 kW

hence, the correct answer is option B

The 10-kg block slides down 2 m on the rough surface with kinetic friction coefficient μk = 0.2. What is the work done by the fr
Rashid [163]

Answer:

153.2 J

Explanation:

Let's first list our given parameters;

mass (m) of the block = 10 kg

which slides down ( i.e displacement) = 2 m

kinetic coefficient of friction (μk) = 0.2

In the diagram shown below;  if we take an integral look at the component of force in the direction of the displacement; we have

F_x= Fcos 40°

F_x= 100 (cos 40°)

F_x= 76.60 N

Workdone by the friction force can now be determined as:

W = F_x × displacement

W = 76.60 × 2

W = 153.2 J

∴  the work done by the friction force = 153.2 J

Six years ago, an 80-kW diesel electric set cost $160,000. The cost index for this class of equipment six years ago was 187 and
exis [7]

Answer:

new boiler total cost = $229706.825

new boiler total cost = $127512

Explanation:

given data

power p1 = 80 kW

cost C = $160000

cost index CI 1 = 187

cost index CI 2= 194

cost capacity factor f = 0.6

power p2 = 120 kW

current cost = $18000

to find out

total cost and cost of 40 kW

solution

we consider here CN cost for new boiler and CO cost for old boiler

and x is capacity of new boiler

first we find old boiler current cost that is

current cost CO = C × \frac{CI 1 }{CI 2 }   .............1

put here value

current cost = 160000 × \frac{194 }{187 }

new current cost = $165989.304

and

use here power sizing technique for 124 kW

CN/CO = (\frac{p2}{p1} )^{f}    ...............2

put here value and find CN

CN/CO = (\frac{p2}{p1} )^{f}  

CN / 165989.304 = (\frac{120}{80} )^{0.6}  

CN = 211706.825

so new cost = $211706.825

so

total cost for new boiler is

total cost = new cost + current cost

total cost = 211706.825 + 18000

new boiler total cost = $229706.825

and

for 40 kW new cost will be

use equation 2

CN/CO = (\frac{p2}{p1} )^{f}

CN / 165989.304 = (\frac{40}{80} )^{0.6}  

CN = 109512

so new cost is $109512

so

total cost for new boiler is

total cost = new cost + current cost

total cost = 109512 + 18000

new boiler total cost = $127512

The emissivity of galvanized steel sheet, a common roofing material, is ε = 0.13 at temperatures around 300 K, while its absorpt
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

759.99W/m²

Explanation:

Question: If the temperature of the sheet is 77C,what is the incident solar radiation on aday with Tinf= Tsurr= 16°C?

Given

Energy Equation of the Gas

αs * Gs * A + h * A * (T inf - Tg) + εσA (Tsurr⁴- Tg⁴) = 0

Where σ= 5.67 *10^-8 W/m²K⁴ (Stefan-Boltzmann constant)

ε = 0.13 (Emisivity)

αs = 0.65 (Absorptivity for solar radiation)

h = 7W/m²K⁴

Tg = 77 + 273.15K = 350.15K

T inf = 16 + 273.15 = 288.15K

T surr= T inf = 288.15

Substitute the above values in the Gas Equation, we have

0.65 * Gs * A + 7 * A * (288.15 - 350.15) + 0.13 * 5.67 * 10^-8 * A * (288.15⁴ - 350.15⁴) = 0

0.65 * Gs * A = - 7 * A * (288.15 - 350.15) - 0.13 * 5.67 * 10^-8 * A * (288.15⁴ - 350.15⁴)

A cancels out, so we are left with

0.65 * Gs = - 7 * (288.15 - 350.15) - 0.13 * 5.67 * 10^-8 * (288.15⁴ - 350.15⁴)

0.65Gs = 434 - 0.7372 * 10^-8(−8,137,940,481.697)

0.65Gs = 434 + 0.7372 * 81.37940481697

0.65Gs = 493.992897231070284

Gs = 493.992897231070284/0.65

Gs = 759.9890726631850

Gs = 759.99W/m² ------- Approximated

A person puts a few apples into the freezer at -15oC to cool them quickly for guests who are about to arrive. Initially, the app
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Temperature at center of apples = 11.2⁰C

Temperature at surface of apples = 2.7⁰C

Amount of Heat transferred = 17.2kJ

Explanation:

The properties of apple are given as:

k = 0.418 W/m.°C

ρ = 840 kg/m³

Cр = 3.81 kJ/kg.°C

α = 1.3*10 ⁻⁷ m²/s

h = 8 W/m².°C

d = 0.09m

r = 0.045m

t = 1 hour = 3600s

<h2>Solution</h2>

Biot number is given as:

Bi = \frac{hr}{k}= \frac{8\cdot0.045}{0.418}=0.861

The constants λ₁ and A₁ corresponding to Biot number (from the table) are:

λ₁ = 1.476

A₁ = 1.239

Fourier Number is:

T = \frac{a\cdot{t}}{r^2} = \frac{(1.3\cdot10^{-7})(3600)}{0.045^2}= 0.231> 0.2

As Fourier Number > 0.2 , one term approximates solutions are applicable

The temperature at the center of apples, The temperature at surface of apples and Amount of heat transfer is found in the ATTACHMENT.
