A zener diode exhibits a constant voltage of 5.6 V for currents greater than five times the knee current. IZK is specified to be

1 mA. The zener is to be used in the design of a shunt regulator fed from a 15-V supply. The load current varies over the range of 0 mA to 15 mA. Find a suitable value for the resistor R. What is the maximum power dissipation of the zener diode?

Answer:

The maximum power dissipation of the zener diode 112mV.

Explanation:

The minimum zener current should be:

5 * Iza= 5 * 1=  5 mA.

Since the load current can be at maximum 15 mA, we should select R so that, IL= 15 mA.

A zener current of 5 mA is available, Thus the current should be 20 mA, which leads to,

R = \frac{15 - 5.6}{20 mA} = 470 Ω.

Maximum power dissipated in the diode occours when, IL=0 is

Pmax = 20 * 10^{3} * 5.6 = 112mV.

A 4-L pressure cooker has an operating pressure of 175 kPa. Initially, one-half of the volume is filled with liquid and the othe
vodomira [7]

Answer:

the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Volume = 4L = 0.004 m³

V_f = V_g = 0.002 m³

Using Table ( saturated water - pressure table);

at pressure p = 175 kPa;

v_f = 0.001057 m³/kg

v_g = 1.0037 m³/kg

u_f = 486.82 kJ/kg

u_g 2524.5 kJ/kg

h_g = 2700.2 kJ/kg

So the initial mass of the water;

m₁ = V_f/v_f + V_g/v_g

we substitute

m₁ = 0.002/0.001057  + 0.002/1.0037

m₁ = 1.89414 kg

Now, the final mass will be;

m₂ = V/v_g

m₂ = 0.004 / 1.0037

m₂ = 0.003985 kg

Now, mass leaving the pressure cooker is;

m_{out = m₁ - m₂

m_{out = 1.89414  - 0.003985

m_{out = 1.890155 kg

so, Initial internal energy will be;

U₁ = m_fu_f + m_gu_g

U₁ = (V_f/v_f)u_f  + (V_g/v_g)u_g

we substitute

U₁ = (0.002/0.001057)(486.82)  + (0.002/1.0037)(2524.5)

U₁ = 921.135288 + 5.030387

U₁ = 926.165675 kJ

Now, using Energy balance;

E_{in -  E_{out = ΔE_{sys

QΔt - m_{outh_{out = m₂u₂ - U₁

QΔt - m_{outh_g = m₂u_g - U₁

given that time = 75 min = 75 × 60s = 4500 sec

so we substitute

Q(4500) - ( 1.890155 × 2700.2 ) = ( 0.003985 × 2524.5 ) - 926.165675

Q(4500) - 5103.7965 = 10.06013 - 926.165675

Q(4500) = 10.06013 - 926.165675 + 5103.7965

Q(4500) = 4187.690955

Q = 4187.690955 / 4500

Q = 0.9306 kW

Therefore, the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW

Any change in the system from one equilibrium state to another is called: A) Path B) Process C) Cycle D) None of the above
dexar [7]

Answer:

B) Process

Explanation:

In thermodynamics a process is a passage of a thermodynamic system from an initial to a final state of thermodynamic equilibrium.

A thermodynamic process path is the series of states through which a system passes from an initial to a final state.

Cycle is a process in which initial and final state are identical.

A hypereutectoid steel often presents hard and brittle cementite along the grain boundaries of pearlite. Which of the following
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

(d) Spheroidizing

Explanation:

Spheroidizing

 This is the heat treatment process for steel which having carbon percentage more than 0.8 %.As we know that a hard and brittle material is having carbon percentage more than 0.8 %.That is why this process is suitable for the hard materials.

In this process a hard and brittle materials convert into soft and ductile after this it improve the machine ability as well as improve the tool life.

In this process grain become spheroidal and these grains are ductile.
