agasfer [191]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  add resistance to a circuit

Explanation:

It depends on the design in which it is incorporated. A fixed resistor has many uses, including, but not limited to ...

  • dropping voltage
  • limiting current
  • contributing to a time delay
  • adjusting frequency response
  • eliminating (or creating) signal reflections
  • acting as a fuse
  • calibrating or trimming a response
  • providing protection against electrical shock or ESD
  • acting as a reference when measuring variable resistors

Identify factors that can cause a process to become out of control. Give several examples of such factors.
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

This situation can occur because of various factors such as:

  • Gradual deterioration of lubrication and coolant.
  • change of environmental condition such as temperature, humidity, moisture, etc.
  • Change in the properties of incoming raw material
  • An increase or decrease in the temperature of the heat treating operation
  • Debris interfering with the manufacturing process.

Why can you anodise Aluminium and Magnesium alloys?
Anastasy [175]

Explanation:

Anodizing :

 Anodizing is the surface protection process from the environment.As we know that due to external environment surfaces get corrodes .By using anodizing process the outer surface  of material coated by using different type of coating material.

As the name stand that in the anodizing process there will be anode and oxygen.in this process oxidation of material take place .

Oxides of aluminium and magnesium are stable that is why they anodized by this process.

You are testing a new jet engine in a test cell at sea level conditions. You measure the mass flow through the engine and find i
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

43248 newtons.

Explanation:

Force = mass x accelerations and units of force are newtons which are given in the question.

here mass = 125 of air and 2.2 of fuel, total = 125+2.2=127.5kg/s  and the velocity of the exhaust is 340m/s.

force = 340m/s * 127.5kg/s = 43248 newtons technically this is wrong (observe units) but i will expalin how i have taken acceleration as a velocity here and mass/unit time as simply mass.

see force is mass times acceleration or deceleration, here our velocity is not changing therefore it is constant 340m/s but if it were to change and become 0 in one second then there would be -340m/s^2 (note the units ) of deceleration and there would be force associated with it and that force is what i have calculated here. similarly there would be mass in flow rate of mass per second, which is also in that one second of time.

let's calculate error.

error = (actual-calculated)/actual. = (43248-60000)/43248= -38.734% less is ofcourse greater than 2%.

So the load cell is not reading correct to within 2% and it should read 43248newtons.

The pump of a water distribution system is powered by a 6-kW electric motor whose efficiency is 95 percent. The water flow rate
Sonja [21]

Answer:

a) Mechanical efficiency (\varepsilon)=63.15%  b) Temperature rise= 0.028ºC

Explanation:

For the item a) you have to define the mechanical power introduced (Wmec) to the system and the power transferred to the water (Pw).

The power input (electric motor) is equal to the motor power multiplied by the efficiency. Thus, Wmec=0.95*6kW=5.7 kW.

Then, the power transferred (Pw) to the fluid is equal to the flow rate (Q) multiplied by the pressure jump \Delta P. So P_W = Q*\Delta P=0.018m^3/s * 200x10^3 Pa=3600W.

The efficiency is defined as the ratio between the output energy and the input energy. Then, the mechanical efficiency is \varepsilon=3.6kW/5.7kW=0.6315=63.15\%

For the b) item you have to consider that the inefficiency goes to the fluid as heat. So it is necessary to use the equation of the heat capacity but in a "flux" way. Calling <em>H</em> to the heat transfered to the fluid, the specif heat of the water and \rho the density of the water:

[tex]H=(5.7-3.6) kW=\rho*Q*c*\Delta T=1000kg/m^3*0.018m^3/s*4186J/(kg \ºC)*\Delta T[/tex]

Finally, the temperature rise is:

\Delta T=2100/75348 \ºC=0.028 \ºC
