Answer:

1. Buy Quiet – select and purchase low-noise tools and machinery

2. Maintain tools and equipment routinely (such 3. as lubricate gears)

3. Reduce vibration where possible

4. Isolate the noise source in an insulated room or enclosure

5. Place a barrier between the noise source and the employee

6. Isolate the employee from the source in a room or booth (such as sound wall or window

Calculate the molar heat capacity of a monatomic non-metallic solid at 500K which is characterized by an Einstein temperature of

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of solid $T=500\ K$

Einstein Temperature $T_E=300\ K$

Heat Capacity in the Einstein model is given by

$C_v=3R\left [ \frac{T_E}{T}\right ]^2\frac{e^{\frac{T_E}{T}}}{\left ( e^{\frac{T_E}{T}}-1\right )^2}$

$e^{\frac{3}{5}}=1.822$

Substitute the values

$C_v=3R\times (\frac{300}{500})^2\times (\frac{1.822}{(1.822-1)^2})$

$C_v=3R\times \frac{9}{25}\times \frac{1.822}{(0.822)^2}$

$C_v=0.97\times (3R)$

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

why is the thermal conductivity of super insolation order of magnitude lower than the thermal conductivity of ordinary insulatio

Anni [7]

Answer:

Super insulation are obtained by using layers of highly reflective sheets separated by glass fibers in an vacuumed space. Radiation heat transfer between any of the surfaces is inversely proportional to the number of sheets used and thus heat lost by radiation will be very low by using these highly reflective sheets which will an effective way of heat transfer.
