Answer:

Option C is correct.

Vs = 9 V, Rth = 30 ohms

Explanation:

In the circuit diagram, there are two sources, so, using superposition, we'll find voltage across A and B, Vab, with respect to each of the sources.

Taking the voltage source as primary source.

We will open circuit the current source just like it is presented in the first drawing of the 2nd image I have added to this solution.

By open-circuiting the current source, the three resistors R₁, R₂ and R₃ are in series.

This means that the Vab is the voltage across the R₃ resistor.

Using voltage divider rule,

Vab = (R₃/R₁ + R₂ + R₃) Vs₁

Vab = [40/(60 + 60 + 40)] (12)

Vab = 3 V

Taking the current source as the primary source.

We will now short circuit the voltage source as shown in the 2nd drawing of the 2nd image I have attached to this solution.

As shown in the 2nd drawing of the 2nd file I attached to this solution, the R₂ is in parallel with R₁ and R₃, that is R₂//(R₁ + R₃)

Using the current divider rule

Current in the (R₁ + R₃) branch = [R₂/(R₂ + (R₁ + R₃))] Is₂ = (60/(60 + 60 + 40)) (0.4) = 0.15 A

Vab = voltage across the R₃ resistor = IR₃ = 0.15 × 40 = 6 V

Total voltage across A and B, Vab = Vab due to Vs₁ + Vab due to Is₂ = 3 + 6 = 9 V

And for the Rth, we open-circuit the current source and short-circuit the voltage source simultaneously and look at the resistance of the setup from the AB terminal, as shown in the first drawing of the 3rd file attached to this solution.

It is evident that R₃ is in a parallel combination with (R₁ + R₂)

Rth = (R₁ + R₂)//R₃ = (60 + 60)//40 = 120//40 = (120× 40)/(120 + 40) = 30 ohms

The image of the thevenin equivalent of the circuit as seen from terminals AB is presented in the 2nd drawing on the 3rd image attached.

What is the governing ratio for thin walled cylinders?
Ann [662]

Answer:

The governing ratio for thin walled cylinders is 10 if you use the radius. So if you divide the cylinder´s radius by its thickness and your result is more than 10, then you can use the thin walled cylinder stress formulas, in other words:

  • if \frac{radius}{thickness} >10 then you have a thin walled cylinder

or using the diameter:

  • if \frac{diameter}{thickness} >20 then you have a thin walled cylinder

A 65% efficient turbine receives 2 m^3/s of water from a reservoir. The reservoir water surface is 45 m above the centerline of
laiz [17]

Answer:

P_{out} = 508.071 kW

Given:

efficiency of the turbine, \eta = 65% = 0.65

available gross head,  H_{G} = 45 m

head loss,  H_{loss} = 5 m

Discharge, Q =  2 m^{3}

Solution:

The nozzle is 100% (say)

Available power at the inlet of the turbine,  P_{inlet} is given by:

P_{inlet} = \rho Qg(H_{G} - H_{loss})                  (1)

where

\rho = density of water = 997 kg/m^{3}

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m^{2}

Using eqn (1):

P_{inlet} = 997\times 2\times 9.8(45 - 5) = 781.65 kW

Also, efficency, \eta is given by:

\eta = \frac{P_{out}}{P_{inlet}}

0.65 = \frac{P_{out}}{781.648\times 1000}

P_{out} = 0.65\times 781.648\times 1000 = 508071 W = 508.071 kW

P_{out} = 508.071 kW

A well-insulated, rigid vessel contains 3 kg of saturated liquid water at 40°C. The vessel also contains an electrical resistor
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The final temperature in the vessel after the resistor has been operating for 30 min is 111.67°C

Explanation:

given information:

mass, m = 3 kg

initial temperature,  T₁ = 40°C

current, I = 10 A

voltage, V = 50 V

time, t = 30 min = 1800 s

Heat for the system because of the resistance is

Q = V I t

where

V = voltage (V)

I = current (A)

t = time (s)

Q = heat transfer to the system (J)

so,

Q = V x I x t

   = 50 x 10 x 1800

   = 900000

   = 9 x 10⁵ J

the heat transfer in the closed system is

Q = ΔU + W

where

U = internal energy

W = work done by the system

thus,

Q = ΔU + W

9 x 10⁵ = ΔU + 0, W = 0 because the tank is a well-insulated and rigid.

ΔU = 9 x 10⁵ J = 900 kJ

then, the energy change in the system is

ΔU = m c ΔT

ΔT = ΔU / m c, c = 4.186 J/g°C

     = 900 / (3 x 4.186)

     = 71.67°C

so,the final temperature (T₂)

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

T₂ = ΔT + T₁

    = 71.67°C + 40°C

    = 111.67°C
