Vesna [10]3 years ago

Answer

63 %

Explanation:

It is given that the reservoirs is at the temperature of 627°C and 27°C

So lower temperature that isT_L  = 60°C=273+60=333 K

And the higher temperature that is T_H  = 627°C =273+627=900 K

We know that the thermal efficiency of thermal reservoir = 1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}  = 1-\frac{333}{900} = 0.63 =63 %

So the efficiency of the reservoir is 63%

5. Assume that you and your best friend ench have $1000 to invest. You invest your money
Bezzdna [24]

Correct question reads;

Assume that you and your best friend each have $1000 to invest. You invest your money in a fund that pays 10% per year compound interest. Your friend invests her money at a bank that pays 10% per year simple interest. At the end of 1 year, the difference in the total amount for each of you is:

(a) You have $10 more than she does

(b) You have $100 more than she does

(c) You both have the same amount of money

(d) She has $10 more than you do

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>(d) She has $10 more than you do</u>

<u>Explanation</u>:

Using the compound interest formula

A= P [ (1-i)^n-1

Where P = Principal/invested amount, i = annual interest rate in percentage, and n = number of compounding periods.

<u>My compound interest is:</u>

= 1000 [ (1-0.1)^1-1

= $1000

$1,000 + $1,000 invested= $2,000 total amount received.

<u>My friend's simple interest is;</u>

To determine the total amount accrued we use the formula:

P(1 + rt) Where:

P = Invested Amount (1000)

I = Interest Amount (10,000)

r = Rate of Interest per year (10% or 0.2)

t = Time Period (1 )

= 1000 (1 + rt)

= 1000 (1 + 0.1x1)

= $1100 + $1000 invested = $2100 total amount received.

Therefore, we observe that she (my friend) has $100 more than I do.

(a) Draw the Moore finite state machine (FSM) of an electronic combination lock with a RESET button, two number buttons (0 and 1
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are a total of 6 states and 3 bits in this problem. Whenever the Reset button is pressed, RESET state is called otherwise the state according to the diagram is called. For the combination to be "01011", the input sequence has to be in the same order. If 0 is pressed instead of 1 in state "010", the last state of output ending with 0 will be called and likewise in all the states that follow.

A fatigue test was conducted in which the mean stress was 90 MPa (13050 psi), and the stress amplitude was 190 MPa (27560 psi).
Gwar [14]

Answer:

a) 280MPa

b) -100MPa

c) -0.35

d) 380 MPa

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

mean stress \sigma_m = 90MPa

stress amplitude \sigma_a = 190MPa

a) \sigma_m =\frac{\sigma_max+\sigma_min}{2}

    90 =\frac{\sigma_{max}+\sigma_{min}}{2} --------------1

\sigma_a =\frac{\sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}}{2}

   190 = \frac{\sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}}{2} -----------2

solving 1 and 2 equation we get

\sigma_{max} = 280MPa

b) \sigma_{min} = - 100MPa

c)

stress ratio=\frac{\sigma_{min}}{\sigma_{max}}

=\frac{-100}{280} = -0.35

d)magnitude of stress range

                      =(\sigma_{max} -\sigma_{min})

                       = 280 -(-100) = 380 MPa
