Answer:

We need 154.737 grams of water at 5 ºC to obtain a final temperature of 43 ºC.

Explanation:

From Thermodynamics we know that mixing processes involve the interaction of substance at different temperatures so that thermal equilibrium is reached by cooling down the substance with highest temperature and heating up the subtance with lowest temperature.

Let suppose that mixing occurs at steady state, that is, that system does not have energy interactions with surroundings. According to the First Law of Thermodynamics, we get that energy interactions are represented by:

H_{L} + H_{H} -H_{R} = 0

H_{L} + H_{H} = H_{R} (Eq. 1)

Where:

H_{L} - Enthalpy of cold water, measured in joules.

H_{H} - Enthalpy of hot water, measured in joules.

H_{R} - Enthalpy of mixed water, measured in joules.

Since there are no phase changes, we can expand formula by using the definition of sensible heat. That is:

m_{L}\cdot c_{w}\cdot T_{L}+m_{H}\cdot c_{w}\cdot T_{H} = m_{R}\cdot c_{w}\cdot T_{R}

m_{L}\cdot T_{L}+m_{H}\cdot T_{H} = m_{R}\cdot T_{R} (Eq. 2)

Where:

m_{L}, m_{H}, m_{R} - Masses of cold, hot and mixed water, measured in grams.

c_{w} - Specific heat of water, measured in joules per gram-Celsius.

T_{L}, T_{H}, T_{R} - Temperatures of cold, hot and mixed water, measured in Celsius.

But we know from Principle of Mass Conservation that:

m_{R} = m_{L}+m_{H} (Eq. 3)

Then, we simplify (Eq. 2) and clear the mass of cold water:

m_{L}\cdot T_{L}+m_{H}\cdot T_{H} = (m_{L}+m_{H})\cdot T_{R}

m_{H}\cdot (T_{H}-T_{R}) = m_{L}\cdot (T_{R}-T_{L})

m_{L} = m_{H}\cdot \left(\frac{T_{H}-T_{R}}{T_{R}-T_{L}} \right) (Eq. 4)

If we know that m_{H} = 140\,g, T_{L} = 5\,^{\circ}C, T_{R} = 43\,^{\circ}C and T_{H} = 85\,^{\circ}C, the mass of cold water needed to obtain a final temperature is:

m_{L} = (140\,g)\cdot \left(\frac{85\,^{\circ}C-43\,^{\circ}C}{43\,^{\circ}C-5\,^{\circ}C} \right)

m_{L} = 154.737\,g

We need 154.737 grams of water at 5 ºC to obtain a final temperature of 43 ºC.

Assume the impedance of a circuit element is Z = (3 + j4) Ω. Determine the circuit element’s conductance and susceptance.
djyliett [7]

Answer:

B. G = 333 mS, B = j250 mS

Explanation:

impedance of a circuit element is Z = (3 + j4) Ω

The general equation for impedance

Z = (R + jX) Ω

where

R = resistance in ohm

X = reactance

R = 3Ω  X = 4Ω

Conductance = 1/R while Susceptance = 1/X

Conductance = 1/3 = 0.333S

= 333 mS

Susceptance = 1/4 = 0.25S

= 250mS

The right option is B. G = 333 mS, B = j250 mS

Fill in the empty function so that it returns the sum of all the divisors of a number, without including it. A divisor is a numb
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

// Program is written in C++

// Comments are used to explain some lines

// Only the required function is written. The main method is excluded.

#include<bits/stdc++.h>

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int divSum(int num)

{

// The next line declares the final result of summation of divisors. The variable declared is also

//initialised to 0

int result = 0;

// find all numbers which divide 'num'

for (int i=2; i<=(num/2); i++)

{

// if 'i' is divisor of 'num'

if (num%i==0)

{

if (i==(num/i))

result += i; //add divisor to result

else

result += (i + num/i); //add divisor to result

}

}

cout<<result+1;

}
