A 220-V electric heater has two heating coils that can be switched such that either coil can be used independently or the two ca

n be connected in series or parallel, for a total of four possible configurations. If the warmest setting corresponds to 2,000-W power dissipation and the coolest corresponds to 300 W, find the resistance of each coil.

Answer:

The resistances of both coils are 131.7 Ω and 29.64 Ω.

Explanation:

Since, there are two coils, they can be used independently or in series or parallel. The power is given as:

Power = P = VI

but, from Ohm's Law:

V = IR

I = V/R

therefore,

P = V²/R

R = V²/P

Hence, the resistance (R) and (P) are inversely proportional. Therefore, the maximum value of resistance will give minimum power, that is, 300 W. And the maximum resistance will be in series arrangement, as in series the total resistance gets higher than, any individual resistance.

Therefore,

Rmax = V²/Pmin = R1 + R2

R1 + R2 = (220 V)²/300 W

R1 + R2 = 161.333 Ω    ______ en (1)

Similarly, the minimum resistance will give maximum power. And the minimum resistance will occur in parallel combination. Because equivalent resistance of parallel combination is less than any individual resistance.

Therefore,

(R1 R2)/(R1 + R2) = (220 V)²/2000 W

using eqn (1), we get:

(R1 R2) / 161.333 Ω = 24.2 Ω

R1 R2 = 3904.266 Ω²

R1 = 3904.266 Ω²/R2  _____ eqn (2)

Using this value of R1 in eqn (1), we get:

3904.266/R2 +R2 = 161.333

(R2)² - 161.333 R2 +3904.266 = 0

Solving this quadratic eqn we get two values of R2 as:

R2 = 131.7 Ω     OR     R2 = 29.64 Ω

when ,we substitute these values in eqn (1) to find R1, we get get the same two values as R2, alternatively. This means that the two coils have these resistance, and the order does not matter.

<u>Therefore, the resistance of both coils are found to be 131.7 Ω and 29.64 Ω</u>

3. If nothing can ever be at absolute zero, why does the concept exist?
JulijaS [17]
The reason has to do with the amount of work necessary to remove heat from a substance, which increases substantially the colder you try to go. To reach zero kelvins, you would require an infinite amount of work.

A motor takes 38 amperes on a 220-volt circuit. Find the horsepower output (hp) of the motor shown with an efficiency of 90%. Ex
IrinaK [193]

This question involves the concepts of power and current.

The power output of the motor is "10.08 hp".

<h3>Power Output</h3>

The power output of the motor can be found using the following formula:

P = ηVI

where,

  • P = Power = ?
  • η = efficiency = 90 % = 0.9
  • I = current = 38 A
  • V = potential difference = 220 V

Therefore,

P = (0.9)(38 A)(220 V)

P = 7524 watt

converting this to horsepower:

P = (7524 watt)(\frac{1\ hp}{746\ watt})

P = 10.08 hp

Energy that causes a transfer of heat between marterials
notsponge [240]

Thermal radiation is a form of heat transfer because the electromagnetic radiation emitted from the source carries energy away from the source to surrounding (or distant) objects.

I tried, but I hope this helps :)

Wet steam at 15 bar is throttled adiabatically in a steady-flow process to 2 bar. The resulting stream has a temperature of 130°
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

Explanation:

The adiabatic throttling process is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

m\cdot (h_{in} - h_{out}) = 0

h_{in} = h_{out}

Properties of water at inlet and outlet are obtained from steam tables:

State 1 - Inlet (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

P = 1500\,kPa

T = 198.29\,^{\textdegree}C

h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

s = 6.3068\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

x = 0.967

State 2 - Outlet (Superheated Vapor)

P = 200\,kPa

T = 130\,^{\textdegree}C

h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

The change of entropy of the steam is derived of the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

\Delta s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} - 6.3068\, \frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}
