Explanation:

1) Wind energy is generated through a wind turbine. When wind passes through the blades of wind mill, the blades of the wind mill tend to rotate. Due to the spinning of the rotor across the turbine, the kinetic energy from the wind is converted to electrical energy

2) Incase of wind energy, the consumption gets higher when there is more wind and would be zero incase of no movement of blades.

Incase of hydroelectric power, the generation is rather stable and consumption depends on the usage of power from the consumers

Incase of gasoline generator, the generation is also stable subject to availability of gasoline and consumption again depends on the usage of power from the consumers

3) Pros of Hydroelectric power

Cost of electricity generation is less

Can produce green energy

Produce mass volume of electricity

Cons of Hydroelectric power

Requires massive initial investement

Can be installed on certain demographical area

Hi,I want to know something.

Answer:

So it looks to me that, Yes, you can find 10-50 leds on Amazon. You just have to be specific and search 10-50 led Christmas lights for windows, or something along those lines. Also try filtering the results, and reading the descriptions and reviews. This should help you out, and if it doesn't then I'm sorry.

Good luck friend :)

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy$

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.

Lab scale tests performed on a cell broth with a viscosity of 5cP gave a specific cake resistance of 1 x1011 cm/g and a negligib

insens350 [35]

Answer:

5.118 m^3/hr

Explanation:

Given data:

viscosity of cell broth = 5cP

cake resistance = 1*1011 cm/g

dry basis per volume of filtrate = 20 g/liter

Diameter = 8m , Length = 12m

vacuum pressure = 80 kpa

cake formation time = 20 s

cycle time = 60 s

<u>Determine the filtration rate in volumes/hr expected fir the rotary vacuum filter</u>

attached below is a detailed solution of the question

Hence The filtration rate in volumes/hr expected for the rotary vacuum filter

V' = ( $\frac{60}{20}$ ) * 1706.0670

= 5118.201 liters ≈ 5.118 m^3/hr

Use Excel, MatLab or a similar program to plot carrier thermal velocity as a function of temperature for both electrons and hole

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Solution 2:

The thermal energy of any particle is given as = $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

where m= Effective mass of the particle,

v= Velocity of the particle

The average kinetic energy is given as = $\frac{3}{2}KT,$

where K= Boltzmann Constant

T= Temperautre of the particle

At equilibrium,

1/2 mv² = 3/2 KT

Hence, v= $\sqrt{\frac{3KT}{m}}$

As, effective mass ratio is calculated with respect to rest mass of electron,

melectron = 0.11 * 9.11 *10-31 kg

mhole = 0.35 *9.11 *10-31 kg

K = 1.38 × 10-23 m2 kg s-2 K-1

Plotting, over a range of temperature of 0 K to 400 K, we obtain the attached Graphs (attached).

Solution 3:

The above two curves plotted are not identical as seen. From the same value of Temperature, and under identical conditons, the Thermal velocity solely depends on effective mass ratio. And it is inversely proportional to effective mass ratio. More the effective mass ratio, less the thermal velocity and flatter the slope of the curve and vice versa. As, the mass ratio of holes is more than that of electrons, the curve of electrons has a steeper slope than that of holes. Hence, the curves are not just identical.
