Study Notes
Scientific Principles Mock 3 - Study Notes
-
Boiling Point of Water: Water boils at 100°C.
-
State Change (Liquid to Gas): When a substance changes from liquid to gas, its molecules move further apart.
-
Water Heater Pressure: An instantaneous water heater needs a minimum pressure of 0.7 bar. A cold water cistern needs to be 7.0 meters high to supply this pressure.
-
Pressure Intensity (Tank B): The intensity of water pressure at the base of tank B is calculated by multiplying the height (3m), width (1.5m), depth (1m) , and acceleration due to gravity (9.81 kN/m²). The correct calculation is 3 m X 1.5 m X 1 m X 9.81 kN/m².
-
Pipework Friction: The pipe material's thickness does not significantly impact friction resistance in a cold water pipework system. The number of bends (elbows) significantly impacts friction.
-
Siphonage: A double trap WC uses the principle of siphonage.
-
Temperature Measurement: A spirit thermometer/alcohol thermometer is suitable for use in thermostatic radiator valves.
-
Specific Heat of Water: The specific heat value for water is 4.186 kJ/kg/°C.
-
Convection Heat Transfer: Heat transfer by convection involves the movement of a fluid (liquid or gas).
-
Water Hardness & Boiler Scale: Hard water scale in boilers has an insulating effect, wasting fuel and overheating.
-
Electrolytic Corrosion: Electrolytic corrosion is greatest when unlike metals (e.g., iron and zinc, or copper and aluminium) are placed together in an electrolyte.
-
Lead Sheeting Groove: Groove A in overlapped lead sheeting is designed to prevent water leakage due to excessive run-off.
-
Fuse Size Calculation (Formula): Fuse size (amps) is calculated with the formula I = V/R, where I is current (amps), V is voltage (volts), and R is resistance (ohms).
-
Ferrous Metal: Steel is a ferrous metal.
-
Atmospheric Protection Layer: A protective barrier (patina) forms on copper and lead when exposed to the atmosphere.
-
SI Unit of Current: The SI unit for current is the Ampere (Amp).
-
Fuse for Lighting Circuit: A 15-amp fuse is typically used to protect lighting circuits at a consumer unit.
-
Electromagnetic Induction: Passing a magnet over copper wire wrapped around soft iron generates alternating current.
