5.5 A scraper with a 275 hp diesel engine will be used to excavate and haul earth for a highway project. An evaluation of the jo

b-site conditions indicates the scraper will operate 40 min./hr. For this project it is anticipated that the total cycle time will be 20 min. for a round trip. Previous job records show the scraper operated at full power for the 1.5 min. required to fill the bowl of the scraper and at 80% of the rated hp for the balance of the cycle time. Calculate the gallons per hour for fuel consumption of the scraper.

Answer: Fuel consumption per hour of the scrapper is 6 gal/hr

Explanation:

Given that;

Rated power = 275 hP

The scraper will work = 40min per hr

anticipated total cycle time = 20min

Previous Scrapper operated full power for 1.5min at 80% hP

First we find the Engine factor;

filling the bucket =  1.5/20 * 100% = 0.075

rest of cycle = (20-1.5)/20 * 80% =  0.74

so total engine factor = 0.075 + 0.74 = 0.815

now Time factor will be 40/60 = 0.6666 =

therefore operating factor = 0.6666 * 0.815 = 0.543

Now we know that for a diesel engine, a range fuel consumption = 0.04 gal/hP

so

Fuel consumption per hour of the scrapper is;

= 0.543 * 275 * 0.04

= 5.97 = 6 gal/hr

P10.12. A certain amplifier has an open-circuit voltage gain of unity, an input resistance of and an output resistance of The si
klio [65]

complete question

A certain amplifier has an open-circuit voltage gain of unity, an input resistance of 1 \mathrm{M} \Omega1MΩ and an output resistance of 100 \Omega100Ω The signal source has an internal voltage of 5 V rms and an internal resistance of 100 \mathrm{k} \Omega.100kΩ. The load resistance is 50 \Omega.50Ω. If the signal source is connected to the amplifier input terminals and the load is connected to the output terminals, find the voltage across the load and the power delivered to the load. Next, consider connecting the load directly across the signal source without the amplifier, and again find the load voltage and power. Compare the results. What do you conclude about the usefulness of a unity-gain amplifier in delivering signal power to a load?

Answer:

3.03 V  0.184 W

2.499 mV  125*10^-9 W

Explanation:

First, apply voltage-divider principle to the input circuit: 1

V_{i}= (R_i/R_i+R_s) *V_s = 10^6/10^6+(0.1*10^6)\\*5

    = 4.545 V

The voltage produced by the voltage-controlled source is:

A_voc*V_i = 4.545 V

We can find voltage across the load, again by using voltage-divider principle:  

V_o = A_voc*V_i*(R_o/R_l+R_o)

      = 4.545*(100/100+50)

      = 3.03 V  

Now we can determine delivered power:  

P_L = V_o^2/R_L

      = 0.184 W

Apply voltage-divider principle to the circuit:  

V_o = (R_o/R_o+R_s)*V_s

       = 50/50+100*10^3*5

       = 2.499 mV

Now we can determine delivered power:  

P_l = V_o^2/R_l

     = 125*10^-9 W

Delivered power to the load is significantly higher in case when we used amplifier, so a unity gain amplifier can be useful in situation when we want to deliver more power to the load. It is the same case with the voltage, no matter that we used amplifier with voltage open-circuit gain of unity.

A resistance of 30Ω is placed in a circuit with a 90 volt battery. What current flows in the circuit?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

30 Amperes

Explanation:

if    V ⇒ voltage

      I ⇒ current

      R ⇒ resistance

V = IR

90 = I x 30

90/30 = I

3 = I

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

the NEC has expanded the requirements for ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) to protect anyone who plugs into an electrical system. Initially, it was only required for temporary wiring at construction sites and in dwelling unit bathrooms, but in recent years the Code requirements for GFCI protection have expanded to include many other areas, including commercial occupancies, fountains and swimming pools, and temporary installations, to name a few. (For a complete list of 2002 NEC references, see the sidebar below)
