Answer:

Star

Explanation:

When all hosts are connected to a central hub it is known as a star topology.

The advantages of the star network is that it is very easy to add new devices, a failure in a host will not cause problems on the rest of the network, it is appropriate for large networks and works well under heavy loads,

The disadvantages are that a failure of the central hub brings the whole networks down and it is expensive due to the amount of cables needed.

A budding electronics hobbyist wants to make a simple 1.0-nF capacitor for tuning her crystal radio, using two sheets of aluminu

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

a. 8 sheets of paper is needed between her plates to get the proper capacitance

b. Area of Aluminum Foil needed = 0.45m²

c. To keep a 1.0-nF, a larger area of Teflon is required.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the distance between two plates.

This is given by

d = Kε0A/C

Where

K = 3

ε0 = Physical Constant = 8.854 * 10^-12 C²/Nm²

A = Area = 22 * 28 = 616cm² = 0.0616m²

C = 1.0-nF = 1 * 10^-12F

So, d = (3 * 8.854 * 10^-12 C²/Nm² * 0.0616) / (1 * 10^-12F)

d = 1.64 * 10^-3m

d = 1.64mm

Now, that the distance has been solved.

The Number of Sheets, N is given by

N = d/d,sheet where d, sheet =the sheet thickness = 0.2mm

N = 1.64/0.2

N = 8.2

N = 8 sheets --- Approximated

Here, she's changed the diameter of the sheets to 12mm

Well make use of the formula in (a) above

Using d = Kε0A/C

Where

d = 12 * 10^-3m

Other constraints remain unchanged

Make A the subject of formula

A = dC/Kε0

A = (12 * 10^-3m * 1 * 10^-12F)/(3 * 8.854 * 10^-12 C²/Nm²)

A= 0.45m²

c. From (b) above

A ∝ 1/K

As the dielectric constant increase, the area decreases

The dielectric constant of a Teflon is 2.1

This means that if she used a Teflon instead, the area will be larger.

So, to keep a 1.0-nF, a larger area of Teflon is required.

marysya [2.9K]

In places with cold winters, space heating systems have a fundamental role in buildings. Without them, indoor temperatures would quickly become unsuitable for human occupancy. The local weather is one of the most important factors when designing a heating system; if two identical buildings are developed in Miami FL and New York City, the heating load will be much higher for the NYC property.

Calculate the osmotic pressure of seawater containing 3.5 wt % NaCl at 25 °C . If reverse osmosis is applied to treat seawater,

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Highest osmotic pressure that membrane may experience is

' =58.638 atm

Explanation:

Suppose sea-water taken is M= 1 kg

Density of water = 1000 kg/m3

Therefore Volume of water= Mass,M/Density of water

V= 1 kg/(1000 kg/m3)

V= 10-3 m3= 1 Litre

Since mass of Nacl is 3.5 wt%,Therefore in 1 kg of water

Mass present of NaCl= m= 0.035*1000 g

m= 35 g

Since molecular weight of NaCl= 58.44 g/mol =M.W.

Thus its Number of moles of Nacl= m/M.W

nNaCl= 35g/58.44 gmol-1

= 0.5989 mol

ans since volume of solution is 1 L thus concentration of NaCl is ,C= number of moles/Volume of solution in Litres

C= 0.5989mol/ 1L

=0.5989 M

Since 1 mol NaCL disssociates to form 2 moles of ions of Na+ andCl- Thus van't hoff factor i=2

And osmotic pressure = iCRT ------------------------------(1)( Where R= 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K and T= 25oC= 298.15 K)

Putting in equation 1 ,we get = 2*(0.5989 mol/L)*(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)*298.15 K

=29.319 atm

Now as the water gets filtered out of the membrane,the water's volume decreases and concentration C of NacL increases, thus osmotic pressure also increases.Thus, at 50% water been already filtered out, the osmotic pressure at the membrane will be maximum

Thus Volume of water left after 50% is filtered out as fresh water= 0.5 L (assuming no salt passes through semi permeable membrane)

Thus New concentration of NaCl C'= 2*C

C'=2*0.5989 M

=1.1978 M

and Since Osmotic pressure is directly proportional to concentration, Thus As concentration C doubles to C', Osmotic Pressure ' also doubles from ,

Thus,Highest osmotic pressure that membrane may experience is, '=2*

=2*29.319 atm

' =58.638 atm

A gas within a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal process at 400 K during which the change in entropy is 20.3 kJ/K

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

W= 8120 KJ

Explanation:

Given that

Process is isothermal ,it means that temperature of the gas will remain constant.

T₁=T₂ = 400 K

The change in the entropy given ΔS = 20.3 KJ/K

Lets take heat transfer is Q ,then entropy change can be written as

$\Delta S=\dfrac{Q}{T}$

Now by putting the values

$20.3=\dfrac{Q}{400}$

Q= 20.3 x 400 KJ

Q= 8120 KJ

The heat transfer ,Q= 8120 KJ

From first law of thermodynamics

Q = ΔU + W

ΔU =Change in the internal energy ,W=Work

Q=Heat transfer

For ideal gas ΔU = m Cv ΔT]

At constant temperature process ,ΔT= 0

That is why ΔU = 0

Q = ΔU + W

Q = 0+ W

Q=W= 8120 KJ

Work ,W= 8120 KJ
