All of the aforementioned factors generally affect friction except: B. Humidity.

<h3>What is friction?</h3>

Friction can be defined as a force that resists the relative motion of two physical objects when there surfaces come in contact. Thus, it prevents two surface from easily sliding over or slipping across one another.

In Science, some of the factors that generally affect friction are:

Surface finish

Material

Temperature

In conclusion, all of the aforementioned factors generally affect friction except humidity.

In an air compressor the compression takes place at a constant internal energy and 50KJ of heat are rejected to the cooling wate

lozanna [386]

Answer:

work is 50 kj

Explanation:

Given data

heat (Q) = 50 kj

To find out

work input for the compression stroke per kilogram of air

Solution

we will apply here "first law of thermodynamics" i.e.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy, subject to the principle of conservation of energy, that heat energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can be transferred from one location to another location. i.e.

ΔU = Q – W ................1

here ΔU is change in internal energy, Q is heat and W is work done

here U = 0 because air compressor the compression takes place at a constant internal energy in question

so that by equation 1

Q = W

and Q = 50

so work will be 50 kj

An industrial plant consists of several 60 Hz single-phase motors with low power factor. The plant absorbs 600 kW with a power f

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

(a) $Q=332$ $kvar$ and $C=5.66$ $uF$

(b) $pf=0.90$ lagging

Explanation:

Given Data:

$P=600kW$

$V=12.47kV$

$f=60Hz$

$pf_{old} =0.75$

$pf_{new} =0.95$

(a) Find the required kVAR rating of a capacitor

$\alpha _{old}=cos^{-1}(0.75) =41.41$ °

$\alpha _{new}=cos^{-1}(0.95) =18.19$ °

The required compensation reactive power can be found by

$Q=P(tan(\alpha_{old}) - tan(\alpha_{new}))$

$Q=600(tan(41.41) - tan(18.19))$

$Q=332$ $kvar$

The corresponding capacitor value can be found by

$C=Q/2\pi fV^{2}$

$C=332/2*\pi *60*12.47^{2}$

$C=5.66$ $uF$

(b) calculate the resultant supply power factor

First convert the hp into kW

$P_{mech} =250*746=186.5$ $kW$

Find the electrical power (real power) of the motor

$P_{elec} =P_{mech}/n$

where $n$ is the efficiency of the motor

$P_{elec} =186.5/0.80=233.125$ $kW$

The current in the motor is

$I_{m} =(P/\*V*pf)$

The pf of motor is 0.85 Leading

Note that represents the angle in complex notation (polar form)

$I_{m} =(233.125/12.47*0.85)$

$I_{m}=18.694+11.586$ $j$ $A$

Now find the Load current

pf of load is 0.75 lagging (notice the minus sign)

$I_{load} =(600/12.47*0.75)$

$I_{load} =48.115-42.433$ $j$ $A$

Now the supply current is the current flowing in the load plus the current flowing in the motor

$I_{supply} =I_{m} + I_{load}$

$I_{supply}= (18.694+11.586)+(48.115-42.433)$

$I_{supply} =66.809-30.847j$ $A$

or in polar form

$I_{supply} =73.58$ °

Which means that the supply current lags the supply voltage by 24.78

therefore, the supply power factor is

$pf=cos(24.78)=0.90$ lagging

Which makes sense because original power factor was 0.75 then we installed synchronous motor which resulted in improved power factor of 0.90
