When a user process is interrupted or causes a processor exception, the x86 hardware switches the stack pointer to a kernel stac

k, before saving the current process state. Explain why. Anderson, Thomas. Operating Systems: Principles and Practice (Volume 1 of 4) . Recursive Books. Kindle Edition.

Answer and Explanation

In x86, different stacks are used for kernel & user processes because of security purposes.

The kernel assigns the interrupt dispatch to a common kernel interrupt entry/exit

mechanism which saves pre-interrupt register state before summoning the registered handler(s).

When sending out an interrupt might launch a privilege and/or stack switch,

interrupts that occur while executing user process will switch to use the kernel stack in place at that point, without saving current state.

A school is playing $0.XY per kWh for electric power. To reduce its power bill, the school installs a wind turbine with a rated
Semmy [17]

Answer: Your question has some missing figures so kindly plug in the values into the solution provided to get the exact amount of money saved

answer : Electric power generated = 216 * 10^6 kJ

             money saved = $0.XY * 60000 kwh

Explanation:

<u>Calculating  the amount of electric power generated by wind turbine</u>

power generated = ( 30 * 2000 ) kWh  = 60000 kWh

Electric energy generated = 60000 kWh * 3600 kJ = 216 * 10^6 kJ

<u>Calculate money saved by school per year </u>

Water at 15°C is to be discharged from a reservoir at a rate of 18 L/s using two horizontal cast iron pipes connected in series
love history [14]

Answer:

The required pumping head is 1344.55 m and the pumping power is 236.96 kW

Explanation:

The energy equation is equal to:

\frac{P_{1} }{\gamma } +\frac{V_{1}^{2}  }{2g} +z_{1} =\frac{P_{2} }{\gamma } +\frac{V_{2}^{2}  }{2g} +z_{2}+h_{i} -h_{pump} , if V_{1} =0,z_{2} =0\\h_{pump} =\frac{V_{2}^{2}}{2} +h_{i}-z_{1}

For the pipe 1, the flow velocity is:

V_{1} =\frac{Q}{\frac{\pi D^{2} }{4} }

Q = 18 L/s = 0.018 m³/s

D = 6 cm = 0.06 m

V_{1} =\frac{0.018}{\frac{\pi *0.06^{2} }{4} } =6.366m/s

The Reynold´s number is:

Re=\frac{\rho *V*D}{u} =\frac{999.1*6.366*0.06}{1.138x10^{-3} } =335339.4

\frac{\epsilon }{D} =\frac{0.00026}{0.06} =0.0043

Using the graph of Moody, I will select the f value at 0.0043 and 335339.4, as 0.02941

The head of pipe 1 is:

h_{1} =\frac{V_{1}^{2}  }{2g} (k_{L}+\frac{fL}{D}  )=\frac{6.366^{2} }{2*9.8} *(0.5+\frac{0.0294*20}{0.06} )=21.3m

For the pipe 2, the flow velocity is:

V_{2} =\frac{0.018}{\frac{\pi *0.03^{2} }{4} } =25.46m/s

The Reynold´s number is:

Re=\frac{\rho *V*D}{u} =\frac{999.1*25.46*0.03}{1.138x10^{-3} } =670573.4

\frac{\epsilon }{D} =\frac{0.00026}{0.03} =0.0087

The head of pipe 1 is:

h_{2} =\frac{V_{2}^{2}  }{2g} (k_{L}+\frac{fL}{D}  )=\frac{25.46^{2} }{2*9.8} *(0.5+\frac{0.033*36}{0.03} )=1326.18m

The total head is:

hi = 1326.18 + 21.3 = 1347.48 m

The required pump head is:

h_{pump} =\frac{25.46^{2} }{2*9.8} +1347.48-36=1344.55m

The required pumping power is:

P=Q\rho *g*h_{pump}  =0.018*999.1*9.8*1344.55=236965.16W=236.96kW

Tech A says that thrust angle refers to the direction the front wheels are pointing. Tech B says that scrub radius refers to the
kenny6666 [7]

Both of the technicians are correct.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The thrust angle is defined as the angle formed by the imaginary line drawn perpendicular to the rear axis center line. It is used in alignment of the four wheels.

It is also used to determine the direction the front wheels are pointing. While the scrub radius is the intersecting point of the vertical center line of front tires with the imaginary line drawn from the steering knuckles.

Thus both the technicians are saying correct. The thrust angle and scrub radius are used to determine the alignment of wheels, if there is any misalignment in wheels then it needs to make it correct to prevent accidents.

Precast concrete curtain wall panels: Group of answer choices are typically manufactured on site and then hoisted into place. of
amid [387]

Answer:

c) can be made with a variety of surface finishes.

Explanation:

The missing options are;

When it comes to concrete work in construction, the concrete can be cast either in-situ or in form of pre-cast concrete.

Now in-situ concrete means concrete done on the construction site being built while pre cast concrete simply means concrete cast outside in a factory or yard and brought to site to mount.

These pre cast concrete could have different surface finishes as required as this is one of it's advantages over in situ because there is a lot of space and room to have the desired concrete finish.

a) are typically manufactured on site and then hoisted into place.

b) cannot be fiber-reinforced.

c) can be made with a variety of surface finishes.

d) never include insulation.

e) often are unreinforced.

In normal operation, a paper mill generates excess steam at 20 bar and 400◦C. It is planned to use this steam as the feed to a t
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The maximum power that can be generated is 127.788 kW

Explanation:

Using the steam table

Enthalpy at 20 bar = 2799 kJ/kg

Enthalpy at 2 bar = 2707 kJ/kg

Change in enthalpy = 2799 - 2707 = 92 kJ/kg

Mass flow rate of steam = 5000 kg/hr = 5000 kJ/hr × 1 hr/3600 s = 1.389 kg/s

Maximum power generated = change in enthalpy × mass flow rate = 92 kJ/kg × 1.389 kg/s = 127.788 kJ/s = 127.788 kW
