Answer:
Half-wave rectifier converts an AC signal into a DC signal. It's called a half-wave because it only rectify the positive part of an AC signal.
AC Signal = An electrical signal that alternates between positive and negative voltage.
DC Signal = An electrical signal that only has positive voltage.
Rectify = A fancy word for converting something.
Adding a capacitor helps the positive part of the signal stay on longer. This work because the capacitor stores energy kinda like a battery. During the negative part of the AC signal, the energy stored in the capacitor will be drained and used, then the cycle repeats.
The load resistor is just there to prevent a short circuit from happening.
Answer:
The rate of entropy change of the air is -0.10067kW/K
Explanation:
We'll assume the following
1. It is a steady-flow process;
2. The changes in the kinetic energy and the potential energy are negligible;
3. Lastly, the air is an ideal gas
Energy balance will be required to calculate heat loss;
mh1 + W = mh2 + Q where W = Q.
Also note that the rate of entropy change of the air is calculated by calculating the rate of heat transfer and temperature of the air, as follows;
Rate of Entropy Change = -Q/T
Where Q = 30Kw
T = Temperature of air = 25°C = 298K
Rate = -30/298
Rate = -0.100671140939597 KW/K
Rate = -0.10067kW/K
Hence, the rate of entropy change of the air is -0.10067kW/K
Answer:
does the question entail anything else?
Explanation:
Answer:
The diameter is 50mm
Explanation:
The answer is in two stages. At first the torque (or twisting moment) acting on the shaft and needed to transmit the power needs to be calculated. Then the diameter of the shaft can be obtained using another equation that involves the torque obtained above.
T=(P×60)/(2×pi×N)
T is the Torque
P is the the power to be transmitted by the shaft; 40kW or 40×10³W
pi=3.142
N is the speed of the shaft; 250rpm
T=(40×10³×60)/(2×3.142×250)
T=1527.689Nm
Diameter of a shaft can be obtained from the formula
T=(pi × SS ×d³)/16
Where
SS is the allowable shear stress; 70MPa or 70×10⁶Pa
d is the diameter of the shaft
Making d the subject of the formula
d= cubroot[(T×16)/(pi×SS)]
d=cubroot[(1527.689×16)/(3.142×70×10⁶)]
d=0.04808m or 48.1mm approx 50mm
