Ultra high performance concrete (uhpc) is a relatively new construction material that is characterized by strong adhesive properties with other materials. the article "adhesive power of ultra high performance concrete from a thermodynamic point of view" described an investigation of the intermolecular forces for uhpc connected to various substrates. the following work of adhesion measurements (in mj/m2) for uhpc specimens adhered to steel appeared in the article. 107.1 109.5 107.4 106.8 108.1 is it possible that the given sample observations were selected from a normal distribution?

Conventional hot-water heaters consist of a tank of water maintained at a fixed temperature. the hot water is to be used when needed. the drawback is that energy is wasted because the tank loses heat when it is not in use, and you can run out of hot water if you use too much. some utility companies are encouraging the use of on-demand water heaters (also known as flash heaters), which consist of heating units to heat the water as you use it. no water tank is involved, so no heat is wasted. a typical household shower flow rate is 2.50 gal/min (9.46 l/min ) with the tap water being heated from 51.0 ˚f (10.6 ˚c) to 120 ˚f (48.9 ˚c) by the on-demand heater.what rate of heat input (either electrical of from gas) is required to operate such a unit, assuming that all the heat goes into the water?
