Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 2ICA
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) defines safety regulations on working environments to protect workers from unsafe conditions. The following flowchart shows how OSHA categorizes the safety level of the working temperature given the environmental temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Given the flowchart, for what range of heat index (in degrees Fahrenheit) will the risk level be Lower (Caution), Moderate, High, or Very High to Extreme?

Check off each item as you add additional information to your graph so that none is missed. Background information of Ethanol: Boiling Point = 78 0C Melting Point = -114 0C Starting Temperature = -120 0C After two minutes, frozen cold ethanol starts to melt. It takes two minutes to melt completely. After eight more minutes, it begins to boil. It boils for six minutes. Heat is added for two more minutes until ethanol reaches 80 0C. Label “melting” where this takes place. Label “vaporization” where this takes place. Label “phase change” where a phase change occurs. Indicate where ethanol is only a SOLID, only a LIQUID, and only a GAS. Of the three phases, label which phase has: weakest IMF, strongest IMF, and medium IMF.arrow_forwardWhat is global warming?

- 24 - What is hysteresis? A) Hysteresis is when the measuring device shows a value below or above the value to be measured due to friction, magnetic effect, thermal effect etc.B) The measurement of the measuring device in accordance with the standards is called hysteresis.C) The ability of the measuring instrument to measure the physical size in a stable way is called hysteresis. D) The ability of the measuring instrument to keep its metrological properties constant is called hysteresis.E) The ability to measure the physical size of the measuring instrument at the same value over and over again is called hysteresis.arrow_forwardWhich one of the below statements is mostly NOT correct about in creation of detailed design of component? The selection of material is based on what is required to performance the function. The tolerance is determined by the function, not the preference of designer or manufacture. In the selection of manufacturing processes, the number of components to be manufactured needs to be considered, as the capital investment needs to be considered.
