Answer:

overcurrent

Explanation:

It is any electrical current in excess of the nominal value indicated in the protection device, in the electrical equipment or in the current carrying capacity of a conductor. The overcurrent can be caused by an overload, a short circuit or a ground fault.

The overcurrent raises the operating temperature in the different elements of the electrical installation where this presentation is.

An overcurrent can be an overload or electric shock current.

<u>Overload</u>: the overload current is an excessive current in relation to the nominal operating current. It occurs in drivers and other components of a distribution system. Overloads are in most cases, more frequent between a range of one to six times the nominal current level. They are caused by temporary increases in current and occur when the motors start or when the transformers are energized.

Electric shock: as the name implies, a electric shock current is one that flows out of the normal conduction pathways. Electric shock or fault currents can be hundreds of times greater than the nominal operating current.

2. A thin vertical panel L = 3 m high and w = 1.5 m wide is thermally insulated on one side and exposed to a solar radiation flu
n200080 [17]

Answer: 383.22K

Explanation:

L = 3m, w = 1.5m

Area A = 3 x 1.5 = 4.5m2

Q' = 750W/m2 (heat from sun) ,

& = 0.87

Q = &Q' = 0. 87x750 = 652.5W/m2

E = QA = 652.5 x 4.5 = 2936.25W

T(sur) = 300K, T(panel) = ?

Using E = §€A(T^4(panel) - T^4(sur))

§ = Stefan constant = 5.7x10^-8

€ = emmisivity = 0.85

2936.25 = 5.7x10^-8 x 0.85 x 4.5 x (T^4(panel) - 300^4)

T(panel) = 383.22K

In ________ programming, the programming is centered on objects that are created from abstract data types that encapsulate data
Contact [7]

Answer:

<em>Object-oriented</em>

Explanation:

<em>Object Oriented programming</em> <em>(OOP)</em> is a specific way of programming, where the code is organized in units called classes, from which objects are created that are related to each other to achieve the objectives of the applications. Object-oriented programming took over as the dominant programming style in the mid-1980s, largely due to the influence of C ++. Its dominance was consolidated thanks to the rise of graphical user interfaces, for which object-oriented programming is particularly well suited. Its most important characteristics are the following:

  • Encapsulation
  • Polymorphism
  • Abstraction
  • Inheritance

Given a reservoir watershed of 22 square miles, and assuming a
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

308 acre-ft of water

Explanation:

Given:

Area of the watershed = 22 square miles

Depth of Rainfall = 0.75 in =\frac{\textup{0.75}}{\textup{12}}=0.0625 ft

Percentage rainfall falling in reservoir as runoff = 35%

Now,

1 square mile = 640 acre

Thus,

22 square miles = 22 × 640 = 14,080 acres

Thus,

The total volume of rainfall = Area of watershed × Depth of the rainfall

or

The total volume of rainfall = 14,080 acres × 0.0625 ft = 880 acre-ft

also,

only 35% of the total rainfall is contributing as runoff

thus,

Runoff = 0.35 × 880 acre-ft = 308 acre-ft of water

A lake is fed by a polluted stream and a sewage outfall. The stream and sewage wastes have a decay rate coefficient (k) of 0.5/d
joja [24]

Solution :

Given :

k = 0.5 per day

$C_s = 10 \ mg/L \ ; \ \ Q_s= 40 \ m^3/s$

$C_{sw} = 100 \ ppm \ ; \ \ Q_{sw}= 0.5 \ m^3/s$

Volume, V $= 200 \ m^3$

Now, input rate = output rate + KCV ------------- (1)

Input rate  $= Q_s C_s + Q_{sw}C_{sw}$

                $=(40 \times 10) + (0.5\times 100)$

                $= 2 \times 10^5 \ mg/s$

The output rate $= Q_m C_{m}$

                          = ( 40 + 0.5 ) x C x 1000

                          $=40.5 \times 10^3 \ C \ mg/s$

Decay rate = KCV

∴$KCV =\frac{0.5/d \times C \  \times 200 \times 1000}{24 \times 3600}$

            = 1.16 C mg/s

Substituting all values in (1)

$2 \times 10^5 = 40.5 \times 10^3 \ C+ 1.16 C$

C = 4.93 mg/L
