Answer:

Typically, diesel trucks cost more than those with gas engines, especially when you're first buying them, as diesel is usually featured as an add-on for gas-powered cars. Diesel add-ons can cost over $5,000 for midsize trucks and around $10,000 for heavy-duty trucks.

A plumbed eyewash station is portable.

Hitman42 [59]

Plumbed stations are permanently connected to a source of potable water, whereas portable stations are self-contained gravity-fed units with their own flushing fluid that must be replaced after each use. ... Eyewash fluid must irrigate and flush both eyes simultaneously.
Hopefully this helped.

A 11-cm-diameter horizontal jet of water with a velocity of 40 m/s relative to the ground strikes a flat plate that is moving in

Reika [66]

Answer:

F = 8552.7N

Explanation:

We need first our values, that are,

$V_{jet} = 40m/s\\V_{Plate} = 10m/s \\D = 11cm$

We start to calculate the relative velocity, that is,

$V_r = V_{jet}-V_{plate}\\V_r = (40)-(10)\\V_r = 30m/s$

With the relative velocity we can calculate the mass flow rate, given by,

$\dot{m}_r = \rho A V_r$

$\dot{m}_r = (1000)(30) \frac{\pi (0.11)^2}{4}$

$\dot{m}_r = 285.09kg/s$

We need to define the Force in the direction of the flow,

$\sum\vec{F} = \sum_{out} \beta\dot{m}\vec{V} - \sum_{in} \beta\dot{m} \vec{V}\\$

$F = \dot{m}V_r$

$F = (285.09Kg/s)(30)$

$F = 8552.7N$

Let f(z) = (4z ² + 2z) / (2z ² - 3z + 1).

First, carry out the division:

f(z) = 2 + (8z - 2) / (2z ² - 3z + 1)

Observe that

2z ² - 3z + 1 = (2z - 1) (z - 1)

so you can separate the rational part of f(z) into partial fractions. We have

(8z - 2) / (2z ² - 3z + 1) = a / (2z - 1) + b / (z - 1)

8z - 2 = a (z - 1) + b (2z - 1)

8z - 2 = (a + 2b) z - (a + b)

so that a + 2b = 8 and a + b = 2, yielding a = -4 and b = 6.

So we have

f(z) = 2 - 4 / (2z - 1) + 6 / (z - 1)

f(z) = 2 - (2/z) (1 / (1 - 1/(2z))) + (6/z) (1 / (1 - 1/z))

Recall that for |z| < 1, we have

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-z}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^n$

Replace z with 1/z to get

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-\frac1z}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n}$

so that by substitution, we can write

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \frac2z \sum_{n=0}^\infty (2z)^{-n} + \frac6z \sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n}$

Now condense f(z) into one series:

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=0}^\infty 2^{-n+1} z^{-(n+1)} + 6 \sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n-1}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=0}^\infty \left(6+2^{-n+1}\right) z^{-(n+1)}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(6+2^{-(n-1)+1}\right) z^{-n}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(6+2^{2-n}\right) z^{-n}$

So, the inverse Z transform of f(z) is $\boxed{6+2^{2-n}}$ .

A coal fired power plant geneartes 2.4 lbs. of CO2 per kWh. A lighting system consumes 300,000kWh per year. A corporation is con

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year by lighting sstem is $8164.67.

Explanation:

The CO2 requirement for the plant is:

Amount of CO2 per year = (2.4 lb / KWh)(300,000 KWh)

Amount of CO2 per year = (720000 lb)(1 ton/ 2204.62 lb)

Amount of CO2 per year = 326.59 ton

The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year will then be:

Economic Impact = ($25 / ton)(326.59 ton)

Economic Impact = $8164.67

Design a half-wave recti er which provides a peak voltage of 15 V, and anaverage voltage of 3.8 V when driven by a 120 V (rms) a

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

You need a 120V to 24V commercial transformer (transformer 1:5), a 100 ohms resistance, a 1.5 K ohms resistance and a diode with a minimum forward current of 20 mA (could be 1N4148)

Step by step design:

Because you have a 120V AC voltage supply you need an efficient way to reduce that voltage as much as possible before passing to the rectifier, for that I recommend a standard 120V to 24V transformer. 120 Vrms = 85 V and 24 Vrms = 17V = Vin
Because 17V is not 15V you still need a voltage divider to step down that voltage, for that we use R1 = 100Ω and R2 = 1.3KΩ. You need to remember that more than 1 V is going to be in the diode, so for our calculation we need to consider it. Vf = (V*R2)/(R1+R2), V = Vin - 1 = 17-1 = 16V and Vf = 15, Choosing a fix resistance R1 = 100Ω and solving the equation we find R2 = 1.5KΩ
Finally to select the diode you need to calculate two times the maximum current and that would be the forward current (If) of your diode. Imax = Vf/R2 = 10mA and If = 2*Imax = 20mA

Our circuit meet the average voltage (Va) specification:

Va = (15)/(pi) = 4.77V considering the diode voltage or 3.77V without considering it
