Which is better V8 or V12? V8 engines are smaller than V12 engines, making them a more efficient choice when space in a vehicle is limited. V8 engines also offer better fuel economy over V12 engines as they consume less gas due to having fewer cylinders than a V12. Why is a V8 engine faster […]
How are producers and consumers similar?
How are producers and consumers similar? -Producers always start every food chain. A consumer, also called a heterotroph, is an organism that cannot make its own food. It must eat producers or other organisms for energy. -Plants or producers with the help of carbon dioxide and sunlight, synthesize food. How can a producer also be […]
What are the four classifications of composite?
What are the four classifications of composite? Composites are usually classified by the type of material used for the matrix. The four pri- mary categories of composites are polymer matrix composites (PMCs), metal matrix compos- ites (MMCs), ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), and carbon matrix composites (CAMCs). Which of the following composites are dispersion strengthened composites? […]
What is an internally reversible process?
What is an internally reversible process? A process is internally reversible if no irreversibilities occur within the boundaries of the system during the process. A process is totally reversible if no irreversibilities occur within the systems or its surroundings during the process. The Carnot cycle is a cycle in which each of its processes is […]
How is the failure of ductile and brittle materials under bending load?
How is the failure of ductile and brittle materials under bending load? Brittle materials do not undergo significant plastic deformation. They thus fail by breaking of the bonds between atoms, which usually requires a tensile stress along the bond. Micromechanically, the breaking of the bonds is aided by presence of cracks which cause stress concentration. […]
What component can you use to turn the current in an electrical circuit on and off?
What is the relationship between hardness and toughness?
What is the relationship between hardness and toughness? Hardness: Hardness is the resistance to scratching, cutting or abrasion. Toughness: Toughness is the resistance to fracturing and this quality depends on the maximum energy that can be absorbed before fracturing. What is the difference between toughness and fracture toughness? Generally Toughness is the ability of material […]
What happens when your exhaust pipe falls off?
What happens when your exhaust pipe falls off? So what happens if your muffler falls off? If the muffler has a hole in it, carbon monoxide can leak into the passenger cabin and your vehicle is unsafe to drive. Carbon monoxide can cause dizziness, nausea, and headaches. Unconsciousness and death can occur if you are […]
What is the maximum percentage of income you should spend on housing?
How do you solve a bounded buffer?
How do you solve a bounded buffer? Assume that there are n buffers, each capable of holding a single item. We use three semaphores: empty and full to count the empty and full buffers and mutex to provide mutual exclusion for operations on the buffer pool. How many buffers are there in bounded buffer problem? […]
