The bar DA is rigid and is originally held in the horizontal position when the weight W is supported from C. The wires are made

of A-36 steel and have a cross-sectional area of 0.002 in^2determine the weight W.

Answer:

W = 112 lb

Explanation:

Given:

- δb = 0.025 in

- E = 29000 ksi (A-36)

- Area A_de = 0.002 in^2

Find:

Compute Weight W attached at C

Solution:

- Use proportion to determine δd:

δd/5 = δb/3

δd = (5/3) * 0.025

δd = 0.0417 in

- Compute εde i.e strain in DE:

εde = δd / Lde

εde = 0.0417 / 3*12

εde = 0.00116

- Compute stress in DE, σde:

σde = E*εde

σde = 29000*0.00116

σde = 33.56 ksi

- Compute the Force F_de:

F_de = σde *A_de

F_de = 33.56*0.002

F_de = 0.0672 kips

- Equilibrium conditions apply:

(M)_a = 0

3*W - 5*F_de = 0

W = (5/3)*F_de

W = (5/3)* 0.0672 = 112 lb

Two balanced Y-connected loads in parallel, one drawing 15kW at 0.6 power factor lagging and the other drawing 10kVA at 0.8 powe

NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) attached below

(b) $pf_{C}=0.85$ $lagging$

(c) $I_{C} =32.37 A$

(d) $X_{C} =49.37$ Ω

(e) $I_{cap} =9.72 A$ and $I_{line} =27.66 A$

Explanation:

Given data:

$P_{1}=15 kW$

$S_{2} =10 kVA$

$pf_{1} =0.6$ $lagging$

$pf_{2}=0.8$ $leading$

$V=480$ $Volts$

(a) Draw the power triangle for each load and for the combined load.

$\alpha_{1}=cos^{-1} (0.6)=53.13$ °

$\alpha_{2}=cos^{-1} (0.8)=36.86$ °

$S_{1}=P_{1} /pf_{1} =15/0.6=25 kVA$

$Q_{1}=P_{1} tan(\alpha_{1} )=15*tan(53.13)=19.99$ ≅ $20kVAR$

$P_{2} =S_{2}*pf_{2} =10*0.8=8 kW$

$Q_{2} =P_{2} tan(\alpha_{2} )=8*tan(-36.86)=-5.99$ ≅ $-6 kVAR$

The negative sign means that the load 2 is providing reactive power rather than consuming

Then the combined load will be

$P_{c} =P_{1} +P_{2} =15+8=23 kW$

$Q_{c} =Q_{1} +Q_{2} =20-6=14 kVAR$

(b) Determine the power factor of the combined load and state whether lagging or leading.

$S_{c} =P_{c} +jQ_{c} =23+14j$

or in the polar form

$S_{c} =26.92$ °

$pf_{C}=cos(31.32) =0.85$ $lagging$

The relationship between Apparent power S and Current I is

$S=VI^{*}$

Since there is conjugate of current I therefore, the angle will become negative and hence power factor will be lagging.

(c) Determine the magnitude of the line current from the source.

Current of the combined load can be found by

$I_{C} =S_{C}/\sqrt{3}*V$

$I_{C} =26.92*10^3/\sqrt{3}*480=32.37 A$

(d) Δ-connected capacitors are now installed in parallel with the combined load. What value of capacitive reactance is needed in each leg of the A to make the source power factor unity?Give your answer in Ω

$Q_{C} =3*V^2/X_{C}$

$X_{C} =3*V^2/Q_{C}$

$X_{C} =3*(480)^2/14*10^3$ Ω

(e) Compute the magnitude of the current in each capacitor and the line current from the source.

Current flowing in the capacitor is

$I_{cap} =V/X_{C} =480/49.37=9.72 A$

Line current flowing from the source is

$I_{line} =P_{C} /3*V=23*10^3/3*480=27.66 A$

A wastewater plant discharges a treated effluent (w) with a flow rate of 1.1 m^3/s, 50 mg/L BOD5 and 2 mg/L DO into a river (s)

4vir4ik [10]

A wastewater plant discharges a treated effluent (w) with a flow rate of 1.1 m^3/s, 50 mg/L BOD5 and 2 mg/L DO into a river (s) with a flow rate of 8.7 m^3/s, 6 mg/L BOD5 and 8.3 mg/L DO. Both streams are at 20Â°C. After mixing, the river is 3 meters deep and flowing at a velocity of 0.50 m/s. DOsat for this river is 9.0 mg/L. The deoxygenation constant is kd= 0.20 d^-1 and The reaction rate constant k at 20 Â°C is 0.27 d^-1.

The answer therefore would be the number 0.27 divided by two and then square while getting the square you would make it a binomial.

I wont give the answer but the steps

Ilya [14]

Answer:

A selective medium, a differential medium, and a complex medium.

Explanation:

A selective media is a microbiological media which only support the growth of a particular specie or types of species of microorganisms,this media acts in such a way to inhibit or hinder the growth of other microorganisms.

Differential media are media that acts to Identifying particular strains of microorganisms of similar species.

Complex media are media used for the growth of microorganisms this which contains complex or a wide range of nutrients with chemical composition which may be difficult to determine.
