Design a 7.5-V zener regulator circuit using a 7.5-V zener specified at 10mA. The zener has an incremental resistance of rZ = 30

Ω and a knee current of 0.5 mA. The regulator operates from a 10-V supply and delivers a nominal current of 5 mA to the load. What is the value of R you have chosen? What is the regulator output voltage when the supply is 10% high? Is 10% low? What is the output voltage when both the supply is 10% high and the load is removed? What is the largest load current that can be delivered while the zener operates at a current no lower than the knee current while the supply is 10% low? What is the load voltage in this case?

Answer:

The answer is given in the explanation.

Explanation:

The circuit is as indicated in the attached figure.

From the analytical description the zener voltage is given as

$V_z=V_z_o+I_zr_z$

Here

Vzo is the voltage at which the slope of 1/rz intersects the voltage axis it is equal to knee voltage.

The equivalent model is shown in the attached figure.

From the above equation, Vzo is calculated as

$V_z_o=V_z-I_zr_z$

Here Vz is given as 7.5 V

Iz is given as 10 mA

rz is given as 30 Ω

Thus the Vzo is given as

$V_z_o=V_z-I_zr_z\\V_z_o=7.4-30*10*10^{-3}\\V_z_o=7.5-0.3\\V_z_o=7.2 V$

The value of I_L is given as 5 mA

Now the expression of current is as

$I=I_z+I_L\\I=10mA+5mA\\I=15 mA$

Now the resistance is calculated as

$R=\dfrac{V-Vo}{I}\\R=\dfrac{10-7.2}{15*10^{-3}}\\R=186.66$

So the value of resistance is 186.66 Ω.

Considering the supply voltage is increased by 10%

V is 10-10%*10=10+1=11 so the

$R=\dfrac{V-Vo}{I}\\186.66=\dfrac{11-V_o}{15*10^{-3}}\\V_o=8.2 V$

Considering the supply voltage is decreased by 10%

V is 10-10%*10=10-1=9 so the

$R=\dfrac{V-Vo}{I}\\186.66=\dfrac{9-V_o}{15*10^{-3}}\\V_o=6.2 V$

Now if the supply voltage is 10% high and the value of Load is removed i.e I=Iz only which is 10mA

so

$R=\dfrac{V-Vo}{I'}\\186.66=\dfrac{11-V_o}{10*10^{-3}}\\V_o=9.13 V$

Now the largest load current thus that the supply voltage is 10% low and the current of zener is knee current thus

$V_z_o=V_z-I_zr_z\\V_z_o=7.5-30*0.5*10^{-3}\\V_z_o=7.5-0.015\\V_z_o=7.485 V$

$R=\dfrac{V-Vo}{I'}\\186.66=\dfrac{9-7.485}{I}\\I=10.71 mA$

The load voltage is 7.485 V

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a) $COP_{R} = 25.014$ , b) $T_{H} = 327.78\,K\,(54.63\,^{\textdegree}C)$

Explanation:

a) The coefficient of performance of a reversible refrigeration cycle is:

$COP_{R} = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

Temperatures must be written on absolute scales (Kelvin for SI units, Rankine for Imperial units)

$COP_{R} = \frac{275.15\,K}{286.15\,K-275.15\,K}$

$COP_{R} = 25.014$

b) The respective coefficient of performance is determined:

$COP_{R} = \frac{Q_{L}}{Q_{H}-Q_{L}}$

$COP_{R} = \frac{8.75\,kW}{10.5\,kW-8.75\,kW}$

$COP_{R} = 5$

But:

$COP_{R} = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

The temperature at hot reservoir is found with some algebraic help:

$COP_{R} \cdot (T_{H}-T_{L})=T_{L}$

$T_{H}-T_{L} = \frac{T_{L}}{COP_{R}}$

$T_{H} = T_{L}\cdot \left(1+\frac{1}{COP_{R}} \right)$

$T_{H} = 273.15\,K \cdot \left(1+\frac{1}{5} \right)$

$T_{H} = 327.78\,K\,(54.63\,^{\textdegree}C)$

An aircraft increases its speed by 2% in straight and level flight. If the total lift remains constant determine the revised CL

damaskus [11]

Answer:

96.1%

Explanation:

We know that lift force

$F_L=\dfrac{1}{2}C_L\rho AV^2$

------------(1)

Where $C_L$ is the lift force coefficient .

ρ is the density of fluid.

A is the area.

V is the velocity.

Now when speed is increased by 2 % and all other parameter remains constant except $C_L$ .

Let;s take new value of lift force coefficient is $C_L'$ .

$F_L=\dfrac{1}{2}C_L'\rho A(1.02V)^2$

-----------(2)

Now from equation 1 and 2

$C_L\times V^2=C_L'\times1.0404 V^2$

⇒ $C_L'=0.961C_L$

So we can say that revised value of lift force coefficient is 96.1% of original value.

If you've wondered about the flushing of toilets on the upper floors of city skyscrapers, how do you suppose the plumbing is des

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

<em>The plumbing is designed to reduce the impact of pressure forces due to the height of skyscrapers. This is achieves by narrowing down the pipe down to the basement, using pipes with thicker walls down the basement, and allowing vents; to prevent clogging of the pipes.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>Pressure increases with depth and density</em>. In skyscrapers, a huge problem arises due to the very tall height of most skyscrapers. Also, sewage slug coming down has an increased density when compared to that of water, and these two factors can't be manipulated. The only option is to manipulate the pipe design. <em>Pipes in skyscrapers are narrowed down with height, to reduce accumulation at the bottom basement before going to the sewage tank. Standard vents are provided along the pipes, to prevent clogging of the pipes, and pipes with thicker walls are used as you go down the basement of the skyscraper, to withstand the pressure of the sewage coming down the pipes.</em>
