Which statement best describes how a hearing aid works?

1 answer:

4 0

The following statement best describes how a hearing aid works, An implant bypasses parts of the cochlea and sends messages to the brain, where they are then recognized as sound.

Explanation:

The hearing aid works as An implant bypasses parts of the cochlea and sends messages to the brain, where they are then recognized as sound.
A hearing aid is a device designed to improve hearing by making sound audible to a person with hearing loss.
Modern devices uses all sophisticated digital signal processing to try and improve the speech understanding, intelligibility and comfort for the user, such as signal processing
Almost all hearing aids in use in the US are digital hearing aids Devices similar to hearing aids include cochlear implant.
Early devices, such as ear trumpets or ear horns, were the passive amplification cones which were designed to gather the sound energy and directly goes into the ear canal.
Most common issues with hearing aid fitting and use are the occlusion effect, loudness recruitment, and understanding speech in noise.

.a. What size vessel holds 2 kg water at 80°C such that 70% is vapor? What are the pressure and internal energy? b. A 1.6 m3 ves

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Part a: The volume of vessel is 4.7680 $m^3$ and total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

Part b: The quality of the mixture is 90.3% or 0.903, temperature is 120 °C and total internal energy is 4660 kJ.

Explanation:

Part a:

As per given data

m=2 kg

T=80 °C =80+273=353 K

Dryness=70% vapour =0.7

From the steam tables at 80 °C

Specific volume of saturated vapours=v_g=3.40527 $m^3/kg$

Specific volume of saturated liquid=v_f=0.00102 $m^3/kg$

Now the relation of total specific volume for a specific dryness value is given as

$v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)$

Substituting the values give

$v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)\\v=0.00102+0.7(3.40527-0.00102)\\v_f=2.38399 m^3/kg$

Now the volume of vessel is given as

$v=\frac{V}{m}\\V=v \times m\\V=2.38399 \times 2\\V=4.7680 m^3$

So the volume of vessel is 4.7680 $m^3$ .

Similarly for T=80 and dryness ratio of 0.7 from the table of steam

Pressure=P=47.4 kPa

Specific internal energy is given as u=1840 kJ/kg

So the total internal energy is given as

$u=\frac{U}{m}\\U=u \times m\\U=1840 \times 2\\U=3680 kJ$

The total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

So the volume of vessel is 4.7680 $m^3$ and total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

Part b

Volume of vessel is given as 1.6

mass is given as 2 kg

Pressure is given as 0.2 MPa or 200 kPa

Now the specific volume is given as

$v=\frac{V}{m}\\v=\frac{1.6}{2}\\v=0.8 m^3/kg$

So from steam tables for Pressure=200 kPa and specific volume as 0.8 gives

Temperature=T=120 °C

Quality=x=0.903 ≈ 90.3%

Specific internal energy =u=2330 kJ/kg

The total internal energy is given as

$u=\frac{U}{m}\\U=u \times m\\U=2330 \times 2\\U=4660 kJ$

So the quality of the mixture is 90.3% or 0.903, temperature is 120 °C and total internal energy is 4660 kJ.

The current entering the positive terminal of a device is i(t)= 6e^-2t mA and the voltage across the device is v(t)= 10di/dtV.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

a) 2,945 mC

b) P(t) = -720*e^(-4t) uW

c) -180 uJ

Explanation:

Given:

i (t) = 6*e^(-2*t)

v (t) = 10*di / dt

Find:

( a) Find the charge delivered to the device between t=0 and t=2 s.

( b) Calculate the power absorbed.

( c) Determine the energy absorbed in 3 s.

Solution:

- The amount of charge Q delivered can be determined by:

dQ = i(t) . dt

$Q = \int\limits^2_0 {i(t)} \, dt = \int\limits^2_0 {6*e^(-2t)} \, dt = 6*\int\limits^2_0 {e^(-2t)} \, dt$

- Integrate and evaluate the on the interval:

$= 6 * (-0.5)*e^-2t = - 3*( 1 / e^4 - 1) = 2.945 C$

- The power can be calculated by using v(t) and i(t) as follows:

v(t) = 10* di / dt = 10*d(6*e^(-2*t)) /dt

v(t) = 10*(-12*e^(-2*t)) = -120*e^-2*t mV

P(t) = v(t)*i(t) = (-120*e^-2*t) * 6*e^(-2*t)

P(t) = -720*e^(-4t) uW

- The amount of energy W absorbed can be evaluated using P(t) as follows:

$W = \int\limits^3_0 {P(t)} \, dt = \int\limits^2_0 {-720*e^(-4t)} \, dt = -720*\int\limits^2_0 {e^(-4t)} \, dt$

- Integrate and evaluate the on the interval:

$W = -180*e^-4t = - 180*( 1 / e^12 - 1) = -180uJ$

Explain how the ideal vapour compression refrigerator cycle is an improvement upon the Carnot cycle. Use any two of the problems

Grace [21]

answer explanation:

Basically, the Carnot cycle is turning a heat differential into mechanical energy, then using mechanical energy to recreate the heat differential. A heat pump only turns mechanical energy into a heat differential. It exchanges the gas being compressed on an ongoing basis and does not extract mechanical energy from it, this continuous loss of mechanical energy input is what allows continuous generation of a heat differential.

Also, the Carnot cycle is an idealized theoretical model, not a practically achievable engineering goal. It illustrates the essential mechanism by which heat differentials can be turned into mechanical energy and vice versa, it has to ignore the fact of inefficiency in conversion between mechanical energy and heat differential for the sake of illustrating a set of ideal processes. A real refrigeration system has to deal with the question of whether the system is pumping away more heat than it generates itself through inefficiency.
