Answer:

B.

Explanation:

A safety-critical system (SCS) or life-critical system is a system whose failure or malfunction may result in one (or more) of the following outcomes: death or serious injury to people. loss or severe damage to equipment/property.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Kinetic energy can be used to develop electric energy which can be used as electricity.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy can be harnessed; much like some hydro power technologies harness water movement. A way to convert this kinetic energy into electric energy is through piezoelectric. By applying a mechanical stress to a piezoelectric crystal or material an electric current will be created and can be harvested.

Kinetic energy is also generated by the human body when it is in motion. Studies have also been done using kinetic energy and then converting it to other types of energy, which is then used to power everything from flashlights to radios and more.

A 50 Hz, four pole turbo-generator rated 100 MVA, 11 kV has an inertia constant of 8.0 MJ/MVA. (a) Find the stored energy in the

raketka [301]

Given Information:

Frequency = f = 60 Hz

Complex rated power = G = 100 MVA

Intertia constant = H = 8 MJ/MVA

Mechanical power = Pmech = 80 MW

Electrical power = Pelec = 50 MW

Number of poles = P = 4

No. of cycles = 10

Required Information:

(a) stored energy = ?

(b) rotor acceleration = ?

(c) change in torque angle = ?

(c) rotor speed = ?

Answer:

(a) stored energy = 800 Mj

(b) rotor acceleration = 337.46 elec deg/s²

(c) change in torque angle (in elec deg) = 6.75 elec deg

(c) change in torque angle (in rmp/s) = 28.12 rpm/s

(c) rotor speed = 1505.62 rpm

Explanation:

(a) Find the stored energy in the rotor at synchronous speed.

The stored energy is given by

$E = G \times H$

Where G represents complex rated power and H is the inertia constant of turbo-generator.

$E = 100 \times 8 \\\\E = 800 \: MJ$

(b) If the mechanical input is suddenly raised to 80 MW for an electrical load of 50 MW, find rotor acceleration, neglecting mechanical and electrical losses.

The rotor acceleration is given by

$P_a = P_{mech} - P_{elec} = M \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2}$

Where M is given by

$M = \frac{E}{180 \times f}$

$M = \frac{800}{180 \times 50}$

$M = 0.0889 \: MJ \cdot s/ elec \: \: deg$

So, the rotor acceleration is

$P_a = 80 - 50 = 0.0889 \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2}$

$30 = 0.0889 \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2}$

$\frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2} = \frac{30}{0.0889}$

$\frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2} = 337.46 \:\: elec \: deg/s^2$

(c) If the acceleration calculated in part(b) is maintained for 10 cycles, find the change in torque angle and rotor speed in revolutions per minute at the end of this period.

The change in torque angle is given by

$\Delta \delta = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2}\cdot (t)^2$

Where t is given by

$1 \: cycle = 1/f = 1/50 \\\\10 \: cycles = 10/50 = 0.2 \\\\t = 0.2 \: sec$

So,

$\Delta \delta = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 337.46 \cdot (0.2)^2$

$$ \Delta \delta = 6.75 \: elec \: deg$

The change in torque in rpm/s is given by

$\Delta \delta = \frac{337.46 \cdot 60}{2 \cdot 360\circ }$

$\Delta \delta =28.12 \: \: rpm/s$

The rotor speed in revolutions per minute at the end of this period (10 cycles) is given by

$Rotor \: speed = \frac{120 \cdot f}{P} + (\Delta \delta)\cdot t$

Where P is the number of poles of the turbo-generator.

$Rotor \: speed = \frac{120 \cdot 50}{4} + (28.12)\cdot 0.2$

$Rotor \: speed = 1500 + 5.62$

$$ Rotor \: speed = 1505.62 \:\: rpm$

Consider a thin suspended hotplate that measures 0.25 m × 0.25 m. The isothermal plate has a mass of 3.75 kg, a specific heat of

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Heat losses by convection, Qconv = 90W

Heat losses by radiation, Qrad = 5.814W

Explanation:

Heat transfer is defined as the transfer of heat from the heat surface to the object that needs to be heated. There are three types which are:

1. Radiation

2. Conduction

3. Convection

Convection is defined as the transfer of heat through the actual movement of the molecules.

Qconv = hA(Temp.final - Temp.surr)

Where h = 6.4KW/m2K

A, area of a square = L2

= (0.25)2

= 0.0625m2

Temp.final = 250°C

Temp.surr = 25°C

Q = 64 * 0.0625 * (250 - 25)

= 90W

Radiation is a heat transfer method that does not rely upon the contact between the initial heat source and the object to be heated, it can be called thermal radiation.

Qrad = E*S*(Temp.final4 - Temp.surr4)

Where E = emissivity of the surface

S = boltzmann constant

= 5.6703 x 10-8 W/m2K4

Qrad = 5.6703 x 10-8 * 0.42 * 0.0625 * ((250)4 - (25)4)

= 5.814 W

True or false: You can create a network with two computers.<br><br><br><br> Answer<br> True

coldgirl [10]

To create a computer network, you must have at least two computers. ... A protocol is a standard set of rules and procedures for the control of communications in a network. TRUE. Two computers using TCP/IP can communicate even if they are based on different hardware and software platforms. So your right :)

Hope this helps :)
