Answer:

(a) attached below

(b) pf_{C}=0.85 lagging

(c) I_{C} =32.37 A

(d) X_{C} =49.37 Ω

(e) I_{cap} =9.72 A and I_{line} =27.66 A

Explanation:

Given data:

P_{1}=15 kW

S_{2} =10 kVA

pf_{1} =0.6 lagging

pf_{2}=0.8 leading

V=480 Volts

(a) Draw the power triangle for each load and for the combined load.

\alpha_{1}=cos^{-1} (0.6)=53.13°

\alpha_{2}=cos^{-1} (0.8)=36.86°

S_{1}=P_{1} /pf_{1} =15/0.6=25 kVA

Q_{1}=P_{1} tan(\alpha_{1} )=15*tan(53.13)=19.99 ≅ 20kVAR

P_{2} =S_{2}*pf_{2} =10*0.8=8 kW

Q_{2} =P_{2} tan(\alpha_{2} )=8*tan(-36.86)=-5.99 ≅ -6 kVAR

The negative sign means that the load 2 is providing reactive power rather than consuming  

Then the combined load will be

P_{c} =P_{1} +P_{2} =15+8=23 kW

Q_{c} =Q_{1} +Q_{2} =20-6=14 kVAR

(b) Determine the power factor of the combined load and state whether lagging or leading.

S_{c} =P_{c} +jQ_{c} =23+14j

or in the polar form

S_{c} =26.92°

pf_{C}=cos(31.32) =0.85 lagging

The relationship between Apparent power S and Current I is

S=VI^{*}

Since there is conjugate of current I therefore, the angle will become negative and hence power factor will be lagging.

(c) Determine the magnitude of the line current from the source.

Current of the combined load can be found by

I_{C} =S_{C}/\sqrt{3}*V

I_{C} =26.92*10^3/\sqrt{3}*480=32.37 A

(d) Δ-connected capacitors are now installed in parallel with the combined load. What value of capacitive reactance is needed in each leg of the A to make the source power factor unity?Give your answer in Ω

Q_{C} =3*V^2/X_{C}

X_{C} =3*V^2/Q_{C}

X_{C} =3*(480)^2/14*10^3 Ω

(e) Compute the magnitude of the current in each capacitor and the line current from the source.

Current flowing in the capacitor is  

I_{cap} =V/X_{C} =480/49.37=9.72 A

Line current flowing from the source is

I_{line} =P_{C} /3*V=23*10^3/3*480=27.66 A

The contact angle between the mercury surface and capillary tube wall is______ A) Less than 90 B) Equal to 90 C) Greater than 90
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The Answer to the question is :

Explanation:

The contact angle between the mercury surface and capillary tube wall is Greater than 90.

If the surface of the solid is hydrophobic, the contact angle will be greater than 90 °. On very hydrophobic surfaces the angle can be greater than 150º and even close to 180º.

A positively charged electric has a charge of 2 Coulombs. If 12.5x10^18 free electrons are added to it, what will be the net cha
vitfil [10]

The net charge on the said dielectric is 0

1C = 6.25 * 10¹⁸ electrons; hence:

-12.5x10¹⁸ free electrons = (-12.5x10¹⁸ free electrons * (1C/ 6.25 * 10¹⁸ electrons))

-12.5x10¹⁸ free electrons = -2 C

A positively charged electric has a charge of 2 Coulombs, hence:

Q₁ = 2C

12.5x10¹⁸ free electrons are added to it, hence:

Q₂ = -2C

Net\ charge(Q_{net})=Q_1+Q_2=2C+(-2C)=0

Hence the net charge on the said dielectric is 0
