Pumped-storage hydroelectricity is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing. The

idea is to pump water from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation reservoir when electricity demand is low and inexpensive, such as at night. During periods of high electrical demand, such as during the day, the stored water is released through turbines to produce power. (a) (5 points) If water of density ows by gravity from the higher elevation reservoir (a) to the lower one (b) at a steady ow rate Q over a height H, what is the loss in energy associated with this ow? (b) (5 points) If this same amount of loss is associated with pumping the water from the lower reservoir to the higher one at the same owrate, determine the power required to run the pump. 3

Answer:

A) energy loss E = pgQtH

Where p = density in kg/m3

g = gravity acceleration in m/s2

Q = flow rate in m3/s

t = time taken for flow in sec

H = height of flow in m

B) power required to run pump;

P = pgQH

State five applications of thermochromic materials
rusak2 [61]

Explanation:

The end-use industries of thermochromic materials include packaging, printing & coating, medical, textile, industrial, and others. Printing & coating is the fastest-growing end-use industry of thermochromic materials owing to a significant increase in the demand for thermal paper for POS systems. The use of thermochromic materials is gaining momentum for interactive packaging that encourages consumers to take a product off the shelf and use it.

Consider a N-channel enhancement MOSFET with VGS = 3V, Vt = 1 V, VDS = 10 V, and lambda =0 (channel length modulation parameter)
AveGali [126]

The current IDS is greater than 0 since the VGS has induced an inversion layer and the transistor is operating in the saturation region.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Since V_{ds} > V_{gs} - Vt because V_{gs} > Vt.
  • By the saturation region the MOSFET is operating.
  • A specific source voltage and gate of NMOS, the voltage get drained during the specific level, the drain voltage is rises beyond where there is no effect of current during saturated region.
  • MOSFET is a transistor which is a device of semiconductor vastly used for the electronic amplifying signals and switching in the devices of electronics.
  • The core of this is integrated circuit.
  • It is fabricated and designed in an individual chips due to tiny sizes.
