A microwave transmitter has an output of 0.1W at 2 GHz. Assume that this transmitter is used in a microwave communication system
Len [333]

Answer:

gain = 353.3616

P_r = 1.742*10^-8 W

Explanation:

Given:

- The output Power P_o = 0.1 W

- The diameter of the antennas d = 1.2 m

- The frequency of signal f = 2 GHz

Find:

a. What is the gain of each antenna?

b. If the receiving antenna is located 24 km from the transmitting antenna over a free space path, find the available signal power out of the receiving antenna.

Solution:

- The gain of the parabolic antenna is given by the following formula:

                            gain = 0.56 * 4 * pi^2 * r^2 / λ^2

Where, λ : The wavelength of signal

            r: Radius of antenna = d / 2 = 1.2 / 2 = 0.6 m

- The wavelength can be determined by:

                            λ = c / f

                            λ = (3*10^8) / (2*10^9)

                            λ = 0.15 m

- Plug in the values in the gain formula:

                            gain = 0.56 * 4 * pi^2 * 0.6^2 / 0.15^2

                            gain = 353.3616

- The available signal power out from the receiving antenna is:

                            P_r = (gain^2 * λ^2 * W) / (16*pi^2 * 10^2 * 10^6)

                            P_r = (353.36^2 * 0.15^2 * 0.1) / (16*pi^2 * 10^2 * 10^6)

                            P_r = 1.742*10^-8 W

Explanation:

These are probably the most used tool in any Plumber’s tool box. Pliers are not just another tool for a Plumber, they become an extension of their arms. Most people think that sounds odd, but pliers are more than just a tool to grab or turn things.

These are probably the most used tool in any Plumber’s tool box. Pliers are not just another tool for a Plumber, they become an extension of their arms. Most people think that sounds odd, but pliers are more than just a tool to grab or turn things.Sometimes a piece of copper pipe won’t quite go into a fitting. By using the handle end as a mallet you can gently force it in without damaging/denting the pipe or fittings. Or, when a brute force is needed the jaw end becomes a hammer. On an old pair of pliers I took a grinder to form one side of the handle into a flathead screwdriver/pry bar.

Assume you are an observer standing at a point along a three-lane roadway. All vehicles in lane 1 are traveling at 30 mi/h, all
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data;

  • In line 1, v1 = 30mi/hr
  • in line 2, v2 = 45mi/hr
  • in line 3, v3 = 60mi/hr
  • therefore time mean speed = v1 + v2 + v3 /n
  • = VT = 45mi/hr

  • space mean speed ; Vs
  • harmonic mean = 1/V = 1/v1 + 1/v2 + 1/v3
  • V = 13.85mi/hr
  • Hence Vs = V x n = 3 x 13.85 = 41.55mi/hr

Water in a piston-cylinder assembly is heated from saturated liquid to saturated vapor at a constant pressure of 40 bar in a rev
valina [46]

Answer:

a. W = 194.11 KJ/kg

b. Q = 1713.5 KJ/kg

c. Q = 1713.41 KJ/kg

Explanation:

a.

Since, this is a constant pressure process. Therefore, the work done will be:

W = PΔV

where,

W = work done per unit mass

P = constant pressure = 40 bar = 4000 KPa

ΔV = change in volume = Vg - Vf

At 4000 KPa, from saturated water table:

Vf = 0.001252 m³/kg

Vg = 0.049779 m³/kg

Therefore,

ΔV = (0.049779 - 0.001252) m³/kg

ΔV =  0.048527 m³/kg

Now, the work done will be:

W = (4000 KPa)(0.048527 m³/kg)

<u>W = 194.11 KJ/kg</u>

<u></u>

b.

Now for heat transfer, using the relation:

Q = ΔH

where,

Q = Heat Transfer per unit mass

ΔH = change in enthalpy of water = Hg - Hf

At 4000 KPa, from saturated water table:

Hf = 1087.4 KJ/kg

Hg = 2800.8 KJ/kg

Therefore,

Q = (2800.8 - 1087.4) KJ/kg

<u>Q = 1713.5 KJ/kg</u>

<u></u>

c.

Heat transfer per unit mass with the help of internal energy can be found out by using first law of thermodynamics:

Q = ΔU + W

where,

Q = Heat Transfer per unit mass

ΔU = change in internal energy of water = Ug - Uf

W = work done per unit mass = 194.11 KJ/kg

At 4000 KPa, from saturated water table:

Uf = 1082.4 KJ/kg

Ug = 2601.7 KJ/kg

Therefore,

ΔU = (2601.7 - 1082.4) KJ/kg = 1519.3 KJ/kg

Hence,

Q = (1519.3 + 194.11) KJ/kg

<u>Q = 1713.41 KJ/kg</u>
