Answer and Explanation:

Some of the advantages of direct water supply system are:

Smaller size of the cistern
No risk of polluted water
Ease of installation
Lower pipe work

Some of the advantages of indirect water supply system are:

It can be pumped completely
Lower demand on the main source
Minimization of wear and tear on taps
Larger size of the cistern.

Answer:

Direct water supply system:

1. Smaller cold water cistern.

2.Less costly system

3.Smaller storage cistern and required less pipe work

4.Drinking water can be available at the wash basin

Indirect water supply system:

1.First water stored in the stored tank then come out to from the stored tank.That is why it produce less noise.

2.Large quantity of water can stored.

3.Pressure is low in the pipe because water did not come out directly from the main line.

4.it prevent water from become dirty.

A 179 ‑turn circular coil of radius 3.95 cm and negligible resistance is immersed in a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicu

suter [353]

Answer:

The energy, that is dissipated in the resistor during this time interval is 153.6 mJ

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns, N = 179

radius of the circular coil, r = 3.95 cm = 0.0395 m

resistance, R = 10.1 Ω

time, t = 0.163 s

magnetic field strength, B = 0.573 T

Induced emf is given as;

$emf= N\frac{d \phi}{dt}$

where;

ΔФ is change in magnetic flux

ΔФ = BA = B x πr²

ΔФ = 0.573 x π(0.0395)² = 0.002809 T.m²

$emf = N\frac{d \phi}{dt} = 179(\frac{0.002809}{0.163} ) = 3.0848 \ V$

According to ohm's law;

V = IR

I = V / R

I = 3.0848 / 10.1

I = 0.3054 A

Energy = I²Rt

Energy = (0.3054)² x 10.1 x 0.163

Energy = 0.1536 J

Energy = 153.6 mJ

Therefore, the energy, that is dissipated in the resistor during this time interval is 153.6 mJ

What is the purpose of having a ventilation system on board a motorized vessel?.

chubhunter [2.5K]

The purpose of having a ventilation system on board a motorized vessel is : To remove flammable gas from a vessel to avoid explosions.

<h3>Meaning of ventilation system</h3>

A ventilation system can be defined as a system that allows for removal of gases from a vessel to the atmosphere.

A Ventilation system is very important in every motorized vessel because they help to eliminate or remove flammable gases that are dangerous and are liable to explode when held in a large amount in the engine.

In conclusion, The purpose of having a ventilation system on board a motorized vessel is to remove flammable gas from a vessel their by avoiding explosions.

Two balanced Y-connected loads in parallel, one drawing 15kW at 0.6 power factor lagging and the other drawing 10kVA at 0.8 powe

NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) attached below

(b) $pf_{C}=0.85$ $lagging$

(d) $X_{C} =49.37$ Ω

(e) $I_{cap} =9.72 A$ and $I_{line} =27.66 A$

Explanation:

Given data:

$P_{1}=15 kW$

$S_{2} =10 kVA$

$pf_{1} =0.6$ $lagging$

$pf_{2}=0.8$ $leading$

$V=480$ $Volts$

(a) Draw the power triangle for each load and for the combined load.

$\alpha_{1}=cos^{-1} (0.6)=53.13$ °

$\alpha_{2}=cos^{-1} (0.8)=36.86$ °

$S_{1}=P_{1} /pf_{1} =15/0.6=25 kVA$

$Q_{1}=P_{1} tan(\alpha_{1} )=15*tan(53.13)=19.99$ ≅ $20kVAR$

$P_{2} =S_{2}*pf_{2} =10*0.8=8 kW$

$Q_{2} =P_{2} tan(\alpha_{2} )=8*tan(-36.86)=-5.99$ ≅ $-6 kVAR$

The negative sign means that the load 2 is providing reactive power rather than consuming

Then the combined load will be

$P_{c} =P_{1} +P_{2} =15+8=23 kW$

$Q_{c} =Q_{1} +Q_{2} =20-6=14 kVAR$

(b) Determine the power factor of the combined load and state whether lagging or leading.

$S_{c} =P_{c} +jQ_{c} =23+14j$

or in the polar form

$S_{c} =26.92$ °

$pf_{C}=cos(31.32) =0.85$ $lagging$

The relationship between Apparent power S and Current I is

$S=VI^{*}$

Since there is conjugate of current I therefore, the angle will become negative and hence power factor will be lagging.

Current of the combined load can be found by

$I_{C} =S_{C}/\sqrt{3}*V$

$I_{C} =26.92*10^3/\sqrt{3}*480=32.37 A$

(d) Δ-connected capacitors are now installed in parallel with the combined load. What value of capacitive reactance is needed in each leg of the A to make the source power factor unity?Give your answer in Ω

$Q_{C} =3*V^2/X_{C}$

$X_{C} =3*V^2/Q_{C}$

$X_{C} =3*(480)^2/14*10^3$ Ω

(e) Compute the magnitude of the current in each capacitor and the line current from the source.

Current flowing in the capacitor is

$I_{cap} =V/X_{C} =480/49.37=9.72 A$

Line current flowing from the source is

$I_{line} =P_{C} /3*V=23*10^3/3*480=27.66 A$

The time delay of a long-distance call can be determined by multiplying a small fixed constant by the number of communication li

aliina [53]

Answer:

We can compute the diameter of the tree T by a pruning procedure, starting at the leaves (external nodes).

Remove all leaves of T. Let the remaining tree be T1.
Remove all leaves of T1. Let the remaining tree be T2.
Repeat the "remove" operation as follows: Remove all leaves of Ti. Let remaining tree be Ti+1.
When the remaining tree has only one node or two nodes, stop! Suppose now the remaining tree is Tk.
If Tk has only one node, that is the center of T. The diameter of T is 2k.
If Tk has two nodes, either can be the center of T. The diameter of T is 2k+1.
