CULTURAL QA11-2021-30 BEING A COMPILATION THERE MAY BE ERRORS
Q1 What is the comforttemperature in an air conditioner? A1 Gopala Krishnan, formerAssistant General Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom(1966-2004)Answered just now It depends on country, season, and time. In India, in summer in southern states temperature ofabout 22 degree centigrade setting in night time and about 20 degree setting inday time is comfortable. In this covid situation it is best not using air conditioner isbest- as far as possible Q2 At what age is a horseconsidered old? What is the typical lifespan of a horse? A2 Susan Conner Workedas an animal cruelty investigator & canine specialistNov 18 These days a seniorhorse is typically one in their late teens or early 20s. Thelifespan of a horse is dependent on a LOT of things rather than a “typical”age, but on average late 20s or early 30s is not uncommon. A horse who has hadgood care, good nutrition, is not overweight, had good hoof care/farrier work,a low sugar/starch diet, annual dental exam/float, annual vaccinations &vet exam and as safe an environment as possible has a better chance at livinglonger than one without these things. Genetics also plays a part. One of my horses that I recently lost at the ageof 33 had great genetics. I raised her mother from a foal and that mare livedto be almost 34. That mare’s mother was foaling at 26 and her sire was stillbreeding mares in his early 30s. The mare I just lost also had a sire that wasstill breeding mares in his late 20s and HIS sire and dam lived to be in theirearly 30s. This is a photo of my mare I lost this past May. She was 33 in this pic.They bay in the background is 19. He acts like he’s 10.Photo not attached. Q3 Why does the king beenever return to the bee hive again after mating with the queen bee? A3 ArthropodCentralAnswered byKen Saladin Nov 23 There’s no “kingbee.” There are drones (males) that mate with the queen in flight. Inthe case of honeybees (but not all bee species), the male’s genitalia areripped off when he mates and he falls to the ground and dies. His genitaliaexplode with a pop audible even to the human ear, and can be seen stillclinging to a newly mated female. Newly mated queen with the genitalia (arrow) of the last male she matedwith. Sex is a once-in-a-lifetimeoccasion for a male honeybee. Forthat matter, it’s once or twice in a lifetime for the queen too, but she mateswith as many as 18 to 20 males on her maiden flight. A femme fatale, you mightsay. The arthropod world is full of those. Q4 We have an undergroundwater sump. Dust and rain water get into this sump, How to keep the water cleanregularly? Any filters or liquids available? A4 Deepa Nagaraj, knowsKannadaAnswered Jan 9, 2019 The initial step is to ensure that none of the outside particles to enterthe water tank , so thebest thing is to install a leak proof sump covers. The best material for sump cover is stainless steel, because one of themajor benefit of stainless steel is that it is corrosion free. So even the rust particles fromthe tank covers would not affect the water inside the tank. One of the best sump covers I have installed is Diamond Sump Cover, whichis leak proof and purely stainless steel. You can contact them through9448495533, website: www.diamondsumpcover.com My note- In Chennai, the sump israised in the middle forpeople to get in and clean. RCC slab is provided mostly. For Ground water notgetting in sump is made with double brick wall thickness. Quarterly cleaning is done. Q5 Why did Egypt decide toban the import of 3-wheeler auto rickshaws from India? A5 Bhuvana RameshwarFormerTeacher, Sat Egypt has stopped the import of spare parts and new auto rickshaw ortok-tok from India. Thismeans huge loss for Bajaj Autos in India. The tok toks were the most budget friendly means of transport for localand tourists in Cairo. The autos did good business transporting people from thecapital to the Pyramids and other places of interest But it also had its disadvantageslike most unemployed youth going in for the easy auto driving jobs, increase in crime and terrorists activities usingthe humble three wheelers. This is not a sudden move as they wanted to do away with these from 2014itself. They wanted toclean up Cairo City and so wanted to replace the open auto rickshaws with themore closed type of mini passenger vans for security and safety of passengersand their goods. Cairo had become safe for its tourists and its citizens. Q6 How long does an averagehousehold water heater take to regenerate hot water? A6 Jim Trainor, nutritionsoftware developer Updated Feb 17, 2020 Here is how the physics works. A typical domestic gas hotwater heater in North America isabout 180 litres (50 gallon) and consumes about 11000 watts of power (40000 BTU/hour).Water is typicallyheated to about 50 C (120 F), and the input cold temperature istypically about 10 C (50 F). The specific heat of water is 4.186 J/g/C. To heat180 litres of water from 10 C to 50 C, using 11000 watts of heating powerrequires: ((50–10) C * 4.186 J/g/C * 180 L *1000 g/L) / (11000 J/s) = 2740 s = 45 min To heat a full tank of fresh,cool, water would require 45 minutes. Reheat typically occurs when the water is at around 30 C (90F). In thatcase, the regeneration time is: ((50–30) C * 4.186 J/g/C * 180 L * 1000 g/L) / (11000 J/s) = 1370 s = 20 min To regenerate a typical has water heater requires about 20 minutes. Note that electric water heaters have lower power consumption, onlyaround 4000 watts. So the heating times would approximately double to triple. 2ND ANSWER-CraigLister, Self-Employed at HomeRemodeling & RepairAnswered Oct 15, 2020 A common 37 to 40,000 BTU/hour water heater can raise 20 gallons (160+lbs) of 60 degree water 60 degrees F (9600 BTUs needed) in 15 to 20 minutes IFALL HOT WATER FLOW STOPS. It adds 600 to 666 BTUs every minutes. If 2.25+gallons continue to be withdrawn every minute, the water will never heat up asthe cold water will absorb all of the BTUs. 3RD ANSWER-DonForcash, former EngineeringManager-Aerospace (Recently Retired)Answered Jan 12 Typical gas or electric residential tank hot water heaters have arecovery rate typically in the range of 40–60 gallons per hour. It isimpossible to use this kind of rating directly because the actual recovery begins as soon as the waterin the tank drops below the set point, even though it may not beperceptible to someone taking a shower. Here’s where tank size becomes afactor. If the tank is large enough, the temperature drop from the introductionof new cold water while hot water is being used, may not be noticeable to theuser. So recovery rates are generally used for comparison purposes. Things change when tanklesshot water heaters are discussed.Those gph ratings can be used directly if one knows what the flow rate for yourshower is, but even then, the heat rate need can be affected if multipleshowers or other hot water use will occur at the same time. 4TH ANSWER-GeorgeKanin, former GeneralContractor at Retired (1985-2001)Answered Apr 19, 2020 The ’recovery time’ depends onhow much water needs heating-up, towhat temperature, the temperature of the replacement water and the BTU’s theheater is operating on. Q7 Did people in the MiddleAges look like us? A7 Ernest W. Adams Lived inThe United States of America (1966–1999)Nov 21 Yes, except that they had badteeth and scars from smallpoxand other diseases that we can cure now. And of course their clothes, shoes, and haircuts were different.But physically, they were about the same. Probably their teeth would have beenthe most noticeable difference Q8 Will my AC work better ifI change the filter? A8 3answers-Gopala Krishnan, former Assistant General Manager 1996-2004 at Departmentof Telecom (1966-2004)Answered just now If your filter was not cleaned forlong period, cleaning would refresh. Perfect working of AC depends on the amount of gas in the compressor,working of condensers, and input current. Above all neatness of room, Open shelves,open loft etc would absorb the output of the AC unit. 2nd Answer MarkLambert, Jefe of a Motorcycle Club(2008-present)Answered 4h ago Yes. Your house air will be cleaner too. Order on a subscription, buy inbulk, or invest in a washable one. You may notice your e-bill go down, allother things being equal. 3rd answer-ArafatKhan Iti, diploma Class 12 ThPassed, 10 Pass Out (2015)Answered 4h ago Filter is most important parts ofAc. Filter cleaning after 7 day periodically.Filter change increasecooling.Filter change it increase fresh air level. After filter changeairconditioner are best work Q9 Why don't laptops needscreen savers? A9 Prasanna Bhalerao M. Sc.in Electronics & Physics, Fergusson College, PuneFri In the days yore, we have screensavers. There weremany built-in into Windows 98 and earlier versions. They sort of disappearedwith Windows-XP. Why? Till early yo mid-2000, weused to have CRT monitors. Then flat screen LCD monitors replaced them. CRT monitors are susceptible to screen burn-in bya constant image. Thescreen saver protected the CRT monitors from burn-in. LCD screens are immune to screenburn-in. Hence modern operating systems that run oncomputers with LCD monitors do not require screen savers. Laptops always have LCD screens. Q10 What fruits help inincreasing longevity? A10 Lucia GarciaWorked atHospitalsSep 27 Many nutritionists believe that regular consumption of black grapes is an effective way to delayaging and enhance physical fitness. Fresh black grapes are the fruitwith the most anthocyanins. The anthocyanins of black grapes are widely found in grape skins andgrape seeds. The content of anthocyanins in grape skins is about 0.5%, and thecontent of anthocyanins in grape seeds is about 1%. The skins and seeds of grapesare the most nutritious parts of the grape. The anthocyanin of fresh black grapes is a natural antioxidant. Itsantioxidant capacity is 50 times that of vitamin E and 20 times that of vitaminC. Anthocyanins can remove harmfulfree radicals in the body,protect cells, increase skin elasticity and toughness, reduce wrinkles, anddelay the body's aging process. In addition, anthocyanins can also enhance the body's antioxidantcapacity and reduce the occurrence of oxidation reactions in the body. Anthocyanins are theraw materials of many anti-aging health products and the most effectiveantioxidants found by humans All the above QA are from Quora website on 29-11- 2021.
