technician A says that in any circuit, electrical current takes the path of least resistance. technician B says that while this

Answer:

  technician A is correct

Explanation:

Technician B has circuit topologies confused. In a series circuit, there is only one path for electrical current to take. In a parallel circuit, the current will divide between paths in proportion to the inverse of their resistance. The least resistance path will have the most current.

Technician A is mostly correct.

Two different fuels are being considered for a 2.5 MW (net output) heat engine which can operate between the highest temperature
sveta [45]

Answer:

If the heat engine operates for one hour:

a) the fuel cost at Carnot efficiency for fuel 1 is $409.09 while fuel 2 is $421.88.

b) the fuel cost at 40% of Carnot efficiency for fuel 1 is $1022.73 while fuel 2 is $1054.68.

In both cases the total cost of using fuel 1 is minor, therefore it is recommended to use this fuel over fuel 2. The final observation is that fuel 1 is cheaper.

Explanation:

The Carnot efficiency is obtained as:

\epsilon_{car}=1-\frac{T_c}{T_H}

Where T_c is the atmospheric temperature and T_H is the maximum burn temperature.

For the case (B), the efficiency we will use is:

\epsilon_{b}=0.4\epsilon_{car}

The work done by the engine can be calculated as:

W=\epsilon Q=\epsilon H_v\cdot m_{fuel} where Hv is the heat value.

If the average net power of the engine is work over time, considering a net power of 2.5MW for 1 hour (3600s), we can calculate the mass of fuel used in each case.

m=\frac{P\cdot t}{\epsilon H_v}

If we want to calculate the total fuel cost, we only have to multiply the fuel mass with the cost per kilogram.

TC=m\cdot c

A beam has a rectangular cross section that is 5 inches wide and 1.5 inches tall. The supports are 60 inches apart and with a 12
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The value of Modulus of elasticity E = 85.33 × 10^{6} \frac{lbm}{in^{2} }

Beam deflection is = 0.15 in

Explanation:

Given data

width = 5 in

Length = 60 in

Mass of the person = 125 lb

Load = 125 × 32 = 4000\frac{ft lbm}{s^{2} }

We know that moment of inertia is given as

I = \frac{bt^{3} }{12}

I = \frac{5 (1.5^{3} )}{12}

I = 1.40625 in^{4}

Deflection = 0.15 in

We know that deflection of the beam in this case is given as

Δ = \frac{PL^{3} }{48EI}

0.15 = \frac{4000(60)^{3} }{48 E (1.40625)}

E = 85.33 × 10^{6} \frac{lbm}{in^{2} }

This is the value of Modulus of elasticity.

Beam deflection is = 0.15 in
