Answer:

a)initial quality of water 0.724.

b)mass of water =2.45 kg

c)T=70°F

Explanation:

h=732.5 Btu/lbm

h=763.33 KJ/kg (1 Btu=1.05 kj)

T=70°F⇒T=21.1°C

$V=150 in^3=0.002458m^3$

(a)From steam table

Properties of saturated steam at 21.1°C

$h_f= 88.56\frac{KJ}{Kg} ,h_g= 2539.49\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

To find dryness fraction

$h=h_f+x(h_g-h_f)\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

$763.33=88.56+x(2539.49-88.56)\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

x=0.27

So initial quality of water 0.724.

(b)

$v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)\frac{m^3}{Kg}$

where v is specific volume

From steam table at 21.1°C

$v_f= 0.001\frac{m^3}{Kg} ,v_g= 54.13\frac{m^3}{Kg}$

V= $m_f\times v_f$

0.002458= $m_f\times 0.001$

So mass of water =2.45 kg

(c)

Actually water will take latent heat ,it means that heating of will take place at constant temperature and constant pressure.So we can say that final temperature of water will remain same (T=70°F).

A tool chest has 650 N weight that acts through the midpoint of the chest. The chest is supported by feet at A and rollers at B.

erica [24]

Answer:

the value of horizontal force P is 170.625 N

the value of horizontal force at P = 227.5 N is that the block moves to right and this motion is due to sliding.

Explanation:

The first diagram attached below shows the free body diagram of the tool chest when it is sliding.

Let start out by calculating the friction force

$F_f= \mu N_2$

where :

$F_f =$ friction force

$\mu$ = coefficient of friction

$N_2$ = normal friction

Given that:

$\mu$ = 0.3

$F_f =$ 0.3 $N_2$

Using the equation of equilibrium along horizontal direction.

$\sum f_x = 0$

P - $F_f =$ 0

P = 0.3 $N_2$ ----- Equation (1)

To determine the moment about point B ; we have the expression

$\sum M_B = 0$

0 = $N_2*70-W*35-P*100$

where;

P = horizontal force

$N_2$ = normal force at support A

W = self- weight of tool chest

Replacing W = 650 N

0 = $N_2*70-650*35-100*P$

$P = \frac{70 N_2-22750}{100} ----- equation (2)$

Replacing $\frac{70 N_2-22750}{100}$ for P in equation (1)

$\frac{70N_2 -22750}{100} =0.3 N_2$

$N_2 = \frac{22750}{40}$ $N_2 = 568.75 \ N$

Plugging the value of $N_2 = 568.75 \ N$ in equation (2)

$P = \frac{70(568.75)-22750}{100} \\ \\ P = \frac{39812.5-22750}{100} \\ \\ P = \frac{17062.5}{100}$

P =170.625 N

Thus; the value of horizontal force P is 170.625 N

b) From the second diagram attached the free body diagram; the free body diagram of the tool chest when it is tipping about point A is also shown below:

Taking the moments about point A:

$\sum M_A = 0$

-(P × 100)+ (W×35) = 0

P = $\frac{W*35}{100}$

Replacing 650 N for W

$P = \frac{650*35}{100}$

P = 227.5 N

Thus; the value of horizontal force P, when the tool chest tipping about point A is 227.5 N

We conclude that the motion will be impending for the lowest value when P = 170.625 N and when P= 227.5 N

However; the value of horizontal force at P = 227.5 N is that the block moves to right and this motion is due to sliding.

A rigid tank with a total volume of 0.05 m3 initially contains a two-phase liquid-vapor mixture of water at a pressure of 15 bar

Westkost [7]

Answer:

a) $m_{2} = 0.753\,kg$ , b) $Q_{in} = 2122.963\,kJ$

Explanation:

A rigid tank means a storage whose volume is constant. Process is entirely isobaric. Initial and final properties of water are included below:

State 1 - Gas-Vapor Mixture

$P = 1500\,kPa$

$T = 198.29^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.02726\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 1192.94\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$h_{g} = 2791.0\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.2$

State 2 - Gas-Vapor Mixture

$P = 1500\,kPa$

$T = 198.29^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.06643\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 1718.12\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$h_{g} = 2791.0\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.5$

The model for the rigid tank is created by using the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$Q_{in} - (m_{1}-m_{2})\cdot h_{g} = m_{2}\cdot u_{2}-m_{1}\cdot u_{1}$

Initial and final masses are:

$m_{1} = \frac{V_{1}}{\nu_{1}}$

$m_{1} = \frac{0.05\,m^{3}}{0.02726\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }$

$m_{1} = 1.834\,kg$

$m_{2} = \frac{V_{2}}{\nu_{2}}$

$m_{2} = \frac{0.05\,m^{3}}{0.06643\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }$

$m_{2} = 0.753\,kg$

a) The final mass within the tank is:

$m_{2} = 0.753\,kg$

b) The total amount of heat transfer is:

$Q_{in} = m_{2}\cdot u_{2}-m_{1}\cdot u_{1}+ (m_{1}-m_{2})\cdot h_{g}$

$Q_{in} = (0.753\,kg)\cdot (1718.12\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )- (1.834\,kg)\cdot (1192.94\,\frac{kJ}{kg} ) + (1.081\,kg)\cdot (2791.0\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )$

$Q_{in} = 2122.963\,kJ$

Semiconductor pn junction diode and zener diode quiz questions

suter [353]

1.) A semiconductor is a device whose conductivity lies between the conductivity of the conductors and the insulators.

2.) A Zener diode is a semiconductor device made of silicon that allows current to flow in both directions.

<h3>What is a semiconductor?</h3>

A semiconductor is a device whose conductivity lies between the conductivity of the conductors and the insulators.

Due to the inclusion of an impurity or temperature effects, a solid substance with conductivity between that of an insulator and that of most metals. Semiconductor devices, particularly silicon devices, are key components of most electronic circuits.

Zener diode:-

A Zener diode is a semiconductor device made of silicon that allows current to flow in both directions.

A large television company (CFR) contacts a technology provider, GET, Inc., to arrange a meeting to discuss an upgrade of its ex

ELEN [110]

Answer:

In the passage, it has been mentioned that the president of CFR received the letter from GET, who offered them to install the network servers at the cost of $5 million and the president of CFR also accept it. Although the GET will charge 50 percent more charges after getting the news of heavy tax on technology providers, I will not accept it. As a president of CFR my argument will be that I will ask them (GET) to install the servers at the earlier price that the GET offers before heavy taxation, otherwise, I will reject the offer as I had not formally agreed. Because, the president already informed them about the acceptance of the offer.

My other argument will be that if the GET will not accept my previous proposal, I will go to another technology provider, who can offer the service at a lower cost in comparison to the GET.
