Explanation:

a. The output of an ideal full wave rectifier is zero volts only when the input is zero volts.

True

The output of an ideal full wave rectifier is zero volts only when the input is zero since 1st diode is forward biased during one half cycle of the input and 2nd diode is forward biased during the other half cycle of the input therefore, it fully utilizes both the input cycles so the output voltage is only zero when the input is zero.

b. Half-wave rectifier circuits need a minimum of 4 diodes to operate.

False

A Half-wave rectifier circuits need a minimum of 1 diode to operate, whereas a full-wave bridge rectifier need minimum of 4 diodes to operate.

c. In an ideal full wave bridge rectifier, half of the diodes are in the ON state and half of the diodes are in the OFF state at any given time the input voltage is not zero.

True

A full-wave bridge rectifier consists of 4 diodes, where 2 diodes are functional in half of the cycle(so the other 2 are off) and other 2 diodes are functional in the other half cycle( so the other 2 are off).

d. The output of an ideal half wave rectifier is zero volts only when the input is zero volts.

False

The output of an ideal half wave rectifier is zero during half of the cycle when the diode is reversed biased and doesn't conduct even though input voltage is not zero volts at this point.

e. A turn-on voltage of a diode (y,) greater than zero can cause the output of a full wave rectifier to be zero volts even when the input is not zero volts.

False

A turn-on voltage of a diode (y,) greater than zero cannot cause the output of a full wave rectifier to be zero rather there will be a little voltage drop across the output of full wave rectifier due to this turn-on voltage of diode which is usually 0.7 volts for silicon based diodes.

f. An advantage of the half wave rectifier is that is can use a smoothing capacitor, while a full wave rectifier cannot.

False

Smoothing capacitor can be used in both half wave rectifier as well as full wave rectifier.

How would you expect an increase in the austenite grain size to affect the hardenability of a steel alloy? Why?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The hardenability increases with increasing austenite grain size, because the grain boundary area is decreasing. This means that the sites for the nucleation of ferrite and pearlite are being reduced in number, with the result that these transformations are slowed down, and the hardenability is therefore increased.

Consider fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe. If the viscosity of the fluid is reduced by half by heating while the

gladu [14]

Answer:

The pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its original value.

Explanation:

For a fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe, the flowrate (volumetric) is given by the Hagen-Poiseulle's equation.

Q = π(ΔPR⁴/8μL)

where Q = volumetric flowrate

ΔP = Pressure drop across the pipe

μ = fluid viscosity

L = pipe length

If all the other parameters are kept constant, the pressure drop across the circular pipe is directly proportional to the viscosity of the fluid flowing in the pipe

ΔP = μ(8QL/πR⁴)

ΔP = Kμ

K = (8QL/πR⁴) = constant (for this question)

ΔP = Kμ

K = (ΔP/μ)

So, if the viscosity is halved, the new viscosity (μ₁) will be half of the original viscosity (μ).

μ₁ = (μ/2)

The new pressure drop (ΔP₁) is then

ΔP₁ = Kμ₁ = K(μ/2)

Recall,

K = (ΔP/μ)

ΔP₁ = K(μ/2) = (ΔP/μ) × (μ/2) = (ΔP/2)

Hence, the pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its value.

Hope this Helps!!!

__________ affect(s) the amount of air conditioning required.

Grace [21]

Answer:

Option D

All the above

Explanation:

Depending with the number of occupants in a building, the number of air conditioners required can either be increased or reduced. For instance, if the building is to be a classroom of over 50 students, 1 air-conditioner can't serve effectively. Similarly, the activity of occupants also dictate the amount of air conditioners required since if it's a gym room where occupants exercise often then the air conditioners required is different from if the room was to serve as a lounge. The appliances that also operate in a room require that air conditioners be installed as per the heat that may be generated by the appliances.
