Test 2.2 Question
Answer
During construction, the installation approval has been granted to choose the location of several components of the fire alarm system. The next effect of this change is a savings of $550.00 in cost to the prime contractor. If the contract was originally for $12,375 then according to the provisions of the above paragraph the adjusted contract dollar value then becomes:
550 / 2= 275 - 50% = 12,375 - 275 = $12,100.00

(14)Latent heat (thermal energy absorbed) of fusion (transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid) is the amount if energy required to change the state of water from a solid (ice) 32 F, (0 C) to a liquid. Using this process water absorbs:
143.4-BTU per pound
(15)Water is effective as a cooling agent because of its high latent heat (thermal energy absorbed in a process other than change of temperature) of evaporation (changing water from a liquid to vapor) which is: (NFPA Fire Handbook)
970.3-BTU per pound
With the information given in question #14 and #15, and we change a pound of water in a solid state of ice to steam(vapor), the amount of BTU’s required would be:
