Answer:

a) dh_HG = 6.72 mm

b) dz' = 173 m @8000 m

Explanation:

Given:

Original height h_o = 3000 m

Descent = 100 m

Find:

what is the pressure change that your ears "pop" at, in millimeters of mercury?

If the airplane now rises to  8000 m and again begins descending, how far will the airplane descend before your ears "pop" again?

Solution:

- Assuming density of air remains constant from 3000 m to 2900 m. From Table A3:

                 p_air = 0.7423*p_SL = 0.7423*1.225 kg/m^3

                 p_air = 0.909 kg/m^3

- Manometer equation for air and mercury are as follows:

                dP = -p_air*g*descent                        dP = -p_HG*g*dh_HG

Combine the pressures dP:

               dh_HG = (p_air / p_HG)*descent

               dh_HG = 0.909*100 / 13.55*999

              dh_HG = 6.72 mm

- Assuming density of air remains constant from 8000 m to 7900 m. From Table A3:

                   p_air = 0.4292*p_SL = 0.4292*1.225 kg/m^3

                   p_air = 0.526 kg/m^3

- Manometer equation for air are as follows:

                       @8000m                                 @3000m

                dP = -p'_air*g*dz'                       dP = -p_air*g*dz

                                           

                                     dz' = p_air / p'_air * dz

                                     dz' = 0.909 / 0.526 * 100

                                     dz' = 173 m

Water is boiled in a pot covered with a loosely fitting lid at a location where the pressure is 85.4 kPa. A 2.61 kW resistance h
eimsori [14]

Answer:

t = 6179.1 s = 102.9 min = 1.7 h

Explanation:

The energy provided by the resistance heater must be equal to the energy required to boil the water:

E = ΔQ

ηPt = mH

where.

η = efficiency = 84.5 % = 0.845

P = Power = 2.61 KW = 2610 W

t = time = ?

m = mass of water = 6.03 kg

H = Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg

Therefore,

(0.845)(2610 W)t = (6.03 kg)(2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg)

t = \frac{1.362\ x\ 10^7\ J}{2205.45\ W}

<u>t = 6179.1 s = 102.9 min = 1.7 h</u>

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Improved/ advanced types of Actuators include servo systems, create a large range of actuator motion in response to the changing needs of the operational environment or process.

Actuators are local or automated suppliers of working motion.

Hydraulic and air cylinders can be classified as single-acting cylinders, meaning that the energy source result in movement in one direction and a spring is used for the other direction.

Explanation:

An actuator control system is referred to as any electronic, electrical, or electromechanical system often used to activate an actuator, control the direction as well as extent and duration of its output. Actuator control systems could take the form of extremely simple, manually-operated, start-and-stop stations, either sophisticated or programmable computer systems. The more improved/ advanced types include servo systems that produce a large range of actuator motion in response to the changing needs of the operational environment or process. This type of actuator control system uses an interface arrangement that assimilates feedback from the process or mechanism and adjusts the actuator in the right way. Most actuator systems will include at least a set of travel limits that prevent the actuator destroying itself or the secondary mechanism.

Actuators are local or automated suppliers of working motion. They are used to changes, adjust, or move a secondary mechanism, where a physical operator cannot intervene directly. They are denoted by a large range of varying types using electrical and electromagnetic, hydraulic, or pneumatic power sources to create linear or rotary outputs. One element they all have in common is the actuator control system used to start, stop, and adjust the range, speed, and duration of the working motion.

Actuators can produce a linear motion, rotary motion or oscillatory motion which means they can create motion in one direction, in a circular motion or in opposite directions at regular intervals. Hydraulic and air cylinders can be classified as single-acting cylinders, meaning that the energy source result in movement in one direction and a spring is used for the other direction.

A program is seeded with 30 faults. During testing, 21 faults are detected, 15 of which are seeded faults and 6 of which are ind
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Estimated number of indigenous faults remaining undetected is 6

Explanation:

The maximum likelihood estimate of indigenous faults is given by,

N_F=n_F\times \frac{N_S}{n_S} here,

n_F = the number of unseeded faults = 6

N_S = number of seeded faults = 30

n_s = number of seeded faults found = 15

So NF will be calculated as,

N_F=6\times \frac{30}{15}=12

And the estimate of faults remaining is  N_F-n_F = 12 - 6 = 6
