Which type of duct would decrease the velocity and increase the pressure of a gas as it passes through?
-
Elbow
-
Straight
-
Divergent
-
Convergent
Correct Answer
A. DivergentExplanation
A divergent duct refers to a duct that gradually increases in size along its length. As the gas passes through this type of duct, the cross-sectional area expands, causing the velocity of the gas to decrease. According to Bernoulli's principle, as the velocity decreases, the pressure of the gas increases. Therefore, a divergent duct decreases the velocity and increases the pressure of a gas as it passes through.Rate this question:

"the combination of decreased pressure above an airfoil and increased pressure below an airfoil produces lift" is best described by?
-
Bernoulli's principle
-
Newton's 1st law of motion
-
Newton's 2nd law of motion
-
Newton's 3rd law of motion
Correct Answer
A. Bernoulli's principleExplanation
The statement describes Bernoulli's principle, which states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases. In the context of an airfoil, the air moving over the curved upper surface of the airfoil has a higher velocity, resulting in lower pressure compared to the slower-moving air underneath. This pressure difference creates lift, allowing the airfoil to generate upward force and fly.Rate this question:

The tendency of an object at rest to stay at rest and the tendency of an object in motion to remain in motion in a stright line and the same speed is called?
-
Energy
-
Inertia
-

The 2 forces air is subjected to after it is drawn into the guide vanes of a centrifugal compressor are?
-
Rotational and centrifugal
-
Rotational and tangential
-
Tangential and centrifugal
-
Tangential and radial
Correct Answer
A. Rotational and centrifugalExplanation
After air is drawn into the guide vanes of a centrifugal compressor, it is subjected to two forces: rotational and centrifugal. The rotational force is caused by the spinning motion of the impeller, which imparts a swirling motion to the air. The centrifugal force is a result of the air being pushed outward due to the curved shape of the impeller blades. These two forces work together to increase the velocity and pressure of the air as it passes through the compressor.Rate this question:
