The correct answer is A; True.

Further Explanation:

This is a correct phrase that is important to learn when owning any type of vehicle. When a car battery is dead, it can usually be jump started by using another cars battery or a portable battery charger. It is extremely important to put the positive battery cable on the positive battery post. Then the negative cable will be placed on the negative car battery post and the negative ground wire can be anywhere on the car except on the battery.

The car needs to be connected properly for a few minutes before trying to start the car. This helps the car battery to get enough "juice" to start. If the battery cables are placed wrong this can cause sparks to come out of the cables/battery and cause bodily harm.

A wood pole with a diameter of 10 in. has a moisture content of 5%. The fiber saturation point (FSP) for this wood is 30%. The w

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

a) Δd(change in wood diameter) = 5%

b) The wood would swell since the moisture content is increasing which will also led to increase in the wood's diameter

C) new diameter (D2) = 10.5 in

Explanation:

Wood pole diameter = 10 inches

moisture content = 5%

FSP = 30%

A) The percentage change in the wood's diameter

note : moisture fluctuations from 5% to 30% causes dimensional changes in the wood but above 30% up to 55% causes no change. hence this formula can be used to calculate percentage change in the wood's diameter

Δd/d = 1/5(30 - 5)

Δd/d = 5%

Δd = 5%

B) would the wood swell or shrink

The wood would swell since the moisture content is increasing which will also led to increase in the wood's diameter

C) The new diameter of the wood

D2 = D + D( $\frac{M1}{100}$ )

D = initial diameter= 10 in , M1 = initial moisture content = 5%

therefore D2 = 10 + 10( 5/100 )

new diameter (D2) = 10.5 in

An industrial plant consists of several 60 Hz single-phase motors with low power factor. The plant absorbs 600 kW with a power f

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

(a) $Q=332$ $kvar$ and $C=5.66$ $uF$

(b) $pf=0.90$ lagging

Explanation:

Given Data:

$P=600kW$

$V=12.47kV$

$f=60Hz$

$pf_{old} =0.75$

$pf_{new} =0.95$

(a) Find the required kVAR rating of a capacitor

$\alpha _{old}=cos^{-1}(0.75) =41.41$ °

$\alpha _{new}=cos^{-1}(0.95) =18.19$ °

The required compensation reactive power can be found by

$Q=P(tan(\alpha_{old}) - tan(\alpha_{new}))$

$Q=600(tan(41.41) - tan(18.19))$

$Q=332$ $kvar$

The corresponding capacitor value can be found by

$C=Q/2\pi fV^{2}$

$C=332/2*\pi *60*12.47^{2}$

$C=5.66$ $uF$

(b) calculate the resultant supply power factor

First convert the hp into kW

$P_{mech} =250*746=186.5$ $kW$

Find the electrical power (real power) of the motor

$P_{elec} =P_{mech}/n$

where $n$ is the efficiency of the motor

$P_{elec} =186.5/0.80=233.125$ $kW$

The current in the motor is

$I_{m} =(P/\*V*pf)$

The pf of motor is 0.85 Leading

Note that represents the angle in complex notation (polar form)

$I_{m} =(233.125/12.47*0.85)$

$I_{m}=18.694+11.586$ $j$ $A$

Now find the Load current

pf of load is 0.75 lagging (notice the minus sign)

$I_{load} =(600/12.47*0.75)$

$I_{load} =48.115-42.433$ $j$ $A$

Now the supply current is the current flowing in the load plus the current flowing in the motor

$I_{supply} =I_{m} + I_{load}$

$I_{supply}= (18.694+11.586)+(48.115-42.433)$

$I_{supply} =66.809-30.847j$ $A$

or in polar form

$I_{supply} =73.58$ °

Which means that the supply current lags the supply voltage by 24.78

therefore, the supply power factor is

$pf=cos(24.78)=0.90$ lagging

Which makes sense because original power factor was 0.75 then we installed synchronous motor which resulted in improved power factor of 0.90
