Question

We have a steam heating boiler whose bursting pressure is known, but we of course want to use it only at pressures well below this limit. Our engineers recommend a safety factor of 2; that is, we should never exceed a pressure that is half of the rated bursting pressure. Write a java program that reads in the rated bursting pressure and the current pressure, and determines if the boiler is operating at a safe pressure.

Write a java program that reads in the rated bursting pressure and the current pressure, and determines if the boiler is operating at a safe pressure. For example: Enter the rated bursting pressure of the boiler (psi): 621 Enter the current pressure (psi): 137.8 The maximum safe pressure is 310.5 psi. The current pressure is safe. or Enter the rated bursting pressure of the boiler (psi): 625 Enter the current pressure (psi): 450 The maximum safe pressure is 310.5 psi. WARNING! The current pressure is not safe. Hint: Use three variables: burst_psi current_psi, and max_safe_psi

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is the java code:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main
{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
       System.out.print("Enter the rated bursting pressure of the boiler (psi): ");
       double burst_psi = sc.nextDouble();
       System.out.print("Enter the current pressure (psi): ");
       double current_psi = sc.nextDouble();
      
       double max_safe_psi = burst_psi/2;
       System.out.println("The maximum safe pressure is "+max_safe_psi+" psi.");
       if(current_psi>max_safe_psi)
       {
       System.out.println("WARNING! The current pressure is not safe.");
       }
       else
       {
       System.out.println("The current pressure is safe.");
       }
      
   }
}
