Answer: 24 pA

Explanation:

As pure silicon is a semiconductor, the resistivity value is strongly dependent of temperature, as the main responsible for conductivity, the number of charge carriers (both electrons and holes) does.

Based on these considerations, we found that at room temperature, pure silicon resistivity can be approximated as 2.1. 10⁵  Ω  cm.

The resistance R of a given resistor, is expressed by the following formula:

R = ρ L / A

Replacing by the values for resistivity, L and A, we have

R = 2.1. 10⁵ Ω  cm. (10⁴ μm/cm). 50 μm/ 0.5 μm2

R = 2.1. 10¹¹ Ω

Assuming that we can apply Ohm´s Law, the current that would pass through this resistor for an applied voltage of 5 V, is as follows:

I = V/R = 5 V / 2.1.10¹¹ Ω = 2.38. 10⁻¹¹ A= 24 pA

A large heat pump should upgrade 5 MW of heat at 85°C to be delivered as heat at 150°C. Suppose the actual heat pump has a COP o
AysviL [449]

Answer:

W=2 MW

Explanation:

Given that

COP= 2.5

Heat extracted from 85°C  

Qa= 5 MW

Lets heat supplied at 150°C   = Qr

The power input to heat pump = W

From first law of thermodynamics

Qr= Qa+ W

We know that COP of heat pump given as

COP=\dfrac{Qr}{W}

2.5=\dfrac{5}{W}

2.5=\dfrac{5}{W}

W=2 MW

For Carnot heat pump

COP=\dfrac{T_2}{T_2-T_1}

2.5=\dfrac{T_2}{T_2-(273+85)}

2.5 T₂ -  895= T₂

T₂=596.66 K

T₂=323.6 °C

Tech A says that speed density systems use vehicle speed and fuel density to determine injector pulse width. Tech B says that ma
bogdanovich [222]

The person that is correct based on the 2 statements from Tech A and Tech B is; Tech B

A mass flow sensor is defined as a sensor that is used to measure the mass flow rate of air entering a fuel-injected internal combustion engine and then sends a voltage that represents the airflow to the electronic control circuit.

However, for Tech A is incorrect and so the correct answer is that Tech B is right because his statement corresponds with the definition of mass flow sensor.
