Technician A says that 18 gauge AWG wire can carry more current flow that 12 gauge AWG wire. Technician B says that metric wire

is sized by its cross-sectional area. Who is correct? Select one: a. Both Technicians A and B O b. Neither Technician A nor B C. Technician A d. Technicain B

Answer:

Technician B

Explanation:

Both AWG and metric are sized by cross-sectional area.

Technician A is wrong: 12 gauge wire is larger diameter rated for 20 amps in free air. 18 awg is smaller diameter and typically used for speaker wiring, Class II or low voltage and sub-circuits within appliances.

Rsidential Solar Solution:a. A type of photovoltaic solar panel manufactured in China receives a rating of 250W. The rating proc

aksik [14]

Answer:

a) $\eta = 13.455\%$ , b) $E_{day} = 812.716\,kJ$ , c) $C_{month. total} = 19.505\, USD$ , d) $t = 40.588\,years$

Explanation:

a) The area of the solar panel is:

$A = (20\,ft^{2})\cdot (\frac{0.3048\,m}{1\,ft} )^{2}$

$A = 1.858\,m^{2}$

The energy potential is determined herein:

$\dot E_{o} = (1000\,\frac{W}{m^{2}} )\cdot (1.858\,m^{2})$

$\dot E_{o} = 1858\,W$

The efficiency of the solar panel is:

$\eta = \frac{\dot E}{\dot E_{o}}\times 100\%$

$\eta = \frac{250\,W}{1858\,W}\times 100\%$

$\eta = 13.455\%$

b) The energy generated by the solar panel is presented below:

$E_{day} = (0.135)\cdot (150\,\frac{W}{m^{2}} )\cdot (20\,ft^{2})\cdot \left(\frac{0.3048\,m}{1\,ft} \right)^{2}\cdot (6\,h)\cdot (\frac{3600\,s}{1\,h} )\cdot (\frac{1\,kJ}{1000\,J} )$

$E_{day} = 812.716\,kJ$

c) The energy generated per month and per panel is:

$E_{month} = 30\cdot E_{day}$

$E_{month} = 30 \cdot (812.716\,kJ)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kWh}{3600\,kJ} \right)$

$E_{month} = 6.773\,kWh$

Monthly energy savings due to the use of 18 panels are:

$C_{month, total} = 18\cdot E_{month}\cdot c$

$C_{month, total} = 18\cdot (6.773\,kWh)\cdot (\frac{0.16\,USD}{1\,kWh} )$

$C_{month. total} = 19.505\, USD$

d) The payback of the solar energy system is:

$t = \frac{9500\,USD}{12\cdot (19.505\,USD)}$

$t = 40.588\,years$

As Energy is added to ice, <br> what happens to the temperature over time and why?

Reil [10]

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.

Answer:

The answer is " $\Delta p = f(V1, p, V2, d, D, L)$ "

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

Its change in temperature in pipes depends on rate heads and loss in pipes owing to pipe flow, contractual loss, etc.

The temperature change thus relies on V1 v2 p d D L.

The driveshaft of an automobile is being designed to transmit 134 hp at 2900 rpm. Determine the minimum diameter d required for

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The minimum diameter is 1.344 in

Explanation:

The angular speed of the driveshaft is equal to:

$w=\frac{2\pi N}{60}$

Where

N = rotational speed of the driveshaft = 2900 rpm

$w=\frac{2\pi *2900}{60} =303.69rad/s$

The torque in the driveshaft is equal to:

$\tau=\frac{P}{w}$

Where

P = power transmitted by the driveshaft = 134 hp = 73700 lb*ft/s

$\tau=\frac{73700}{303.69} =242.68lb*ft$

The minimum diameter is equal to:

$d_{min} =(\frac{16T}{\pi *\tau } )^{1/3}$

Where

T = shear stress = 6100 psi

τ = 242.68 lb*ft = 2912.16 lb*in

$d_{min} =(\frac{16*2912.16}{\pi *6100} )^{1/3} =1.344in$
