Answer:
Explanation:
Civil engineers have become experts in creating sustainable and environmentally friendly buildings and systems. Multiplied over many communities, the energy and emissions savings can make a real difference in the environment. Other life-improving functions can also make communities better places to live.Jul 19, 2017
Answer:
both technologies offer a cleaner alternative to internal combustion engines, and both use electric motors powered by electrochemical device.
Answer:
D) quantity of components required for this type of system
Explanation:
Electricity can be transmitted using the alternating and direct currents. The alternating current is one in which the flow of the current diverts at certain time intervals whereas, the direct current is one in which there is a constant one-directional flow of current. The DC is used in batteries and solar panels. Residential areas and business places make use of the AC current.
One of the several reasons why the DC is not used in homes is because unlike the AC it is not easy to build and sustain. Moreso, it has more components compared to the AC. For example, its motor consists of brushes and commutators . The components, example, switches are also large compared to the AC components.
Answer:
Explanation:
1) Resolution and uncertainty of both ADC ranges
a) Resolution (for +/- 5 mV range) = 5 mV / 2n where n = number of bits of ADC
Resolution = 5 mV / 28 = 5 mV / 256 = 0.0195 mV ..................1
uncertainty (for +/- 5 mV range) = +/- 0.5*resolution = +/- 0.5*0.0195 mV = 0.00975 mV ..........2
b) Resolution (for +/- 5 V range) = 5 V / 2n where n = number of bits of ADC
Resolution = 5 mV / 28 = 5 V / 256 = 0.0195 V = 19.5 mV ..................3
uncertainty (for +/- 5 mV range) = +/- 0.5*resolution = +/- 0.5*19.5 mV = 9.75 mV ..........4
2)Thermocouple sensitivity = ( Maximum output voltage - Minimum Output voltage) / (Maximum Temperature - Minimum Temperature)
Thermocouple sensitivity = (3.649mv - 0 ) / (70 - 0) = 0.0521 mV / Deg.C ............5
This is the required Thermocouple sensitivity
3) Water bath temperature is given as 57 deg.C
Hence voltage read by Thermocouple = Sensitivity*57 = 0.0521*57 mV = 2.9697 mV ........6
4)We need to use ADC with a range of +/- 5 mV range as ADC with +/- 5 V range can not do measurement as it's resolution is higher than output voltage.
ADC will measure voltage as 2.9695 mV ......................7
