Answer:

A. N type impurities

B. P type impurities

Explanation:

A. The impurities contribute free electrons and changing the conducting property of the semi conductor. When a pentavalent impurities in a semi conductor( impurities with five valence electron) , the impurity atom replace some of the semi conductor atoms in the crystal structure where 4 of the valence electron would be involved in bonding of 4 neighbouring semiconductor while leaving the fifth electron to be free(negative charge carrier) which is available for detachment.

B. When a trivalence impurity is added to semiconductor, instead of excess electron, there will be excess hole created by crystals. Reason for this attribute is the trivalence atom will replace some tetra valence semiconductor atom, when three valence electrons of the 3 valence electrons of the trivalent impurity atom make bond with three neighbouring semiconductor which gives rise to lack of electron in the bond of the fourth neighbouring semiconductor which contribute a whole to the crystalline since trivalent impurity contribute excess holes to the crystal of semi conductor, this holes can accept electrons.

Air enters a diffuser operating at steady state at 540°R, 15 lbf/in.2, with a velocity of 600 ft/s, and exits with a velocity of
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: Hello the question is incomplete below is the missing part

Question:  determine the temperature, in °R, at the exit

answer:

T2= 569.62°R

Explanation:

T1 = 540°R

V2 = 600 ft/s

V1 = 60 ft/s

h1 = 129.0613  ( value gotten from Ideal gas property-air table )

<em>first step : calculate the value of h2 using the equation below </em>

assuming no work is done ( potential energy is ignored )

h2 = [ h1 + ( V2^2 - V1^2 ) / 2 ] * 1 / 32.2 * 1 / 778

∴ h2 = 136.17 Btu/Ibm

From Table A-17

we will apply interpolation

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

A particle is emitted from a smoke stack with diameter of 0.05 mm. In order to determine how far downstream it travels it is imp
Nikolay [14]

Answer: downward velocity = 6.9×10^-4 cm/s

Explanation: Given that the

Diameter of the smoke = 0.05 mm = 0.05/1000 m = 5 × 10^-5 m

Where radius r = 2.5 × 10^-5 m

Density = 1200 kg/m^3

Area of a sphere = 4πr^2

A = 4 × π× (2.5 × 10^-5)^2

A = 7.8 × 10^-9 m^2

Volume V = 4/3πr^3

V = 4/3 × π × (2.5 × 10^-5)^3

V = 6.5 × 10^-14 m^3

Since density = mass/ volume

Make mass the subject of formula

Mass = density × volume

Mass = 1200 × 6.5 × 10^-14

Mass M = 7.9 × 10^-11 kg

Using the formula

V = sqrt( 2Mg/ pCA)

Where

g = 9.81 m/s^2

M = mass = 7.9 × 10^-11 kg

p = density = 1200 kg/m3

C = drag coefficient = 24

A = area = 7.8 × 10^-9m^2

V = terminal velocity

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

V = sqrt[( 2 × 7.9×10^-11 × 9.8)/(1200 × 24 × 7.8×10^-9)]

V = sqrt[ 1.54 × 10^-9/2.25×10-4]

V = 6.9×10^-6 m/s

V = 6.9 × 10^-4 cm/s
