Answer: a) 0.948 b) 117.5µf

Explanation:

Given the load, a total of 2.4kw and 0.8pf

V= 120V, 60 Hz

P= 2.4 kw, cos θ= 80

P= S sin θ - (p/cos θ) sin θ

= P tan θ(cos^-1 (0.8)

=2.4 tan(36.87)= 1.8KVAR

S= 2.4 + j1. 8KVA

1 load absorbs 1.5 kW at 0.707 pf lagging

P= 1.5 kW, cos θ= 0.707 and θ=45 degree

Q= Ptan θ= tan 45°

Q=P=1.5kw

S1= 1.5 +1.5j KVA

S1 + S2= S

2.4+j1.8= 1.5+1.5j + S2

S2= 0.9 + 0.3j KVA

S2= 0.949= 18.43 °

Pf= cos(18.43°) = 0.948

b.) pf to 0.9, a capacitor is needed.

Pf = 0.9

Cos θ= 0.9

θ= 25.84 °

(WC) V^2= P (tan θ1 - tan θ2)

C= 2400 ( tan (36. 87°) - tan (25.84°)) /2 πf × 120^2

f=60, π=22/7

C= 117.5µf

Explain the differences between planned and predictive maintenance.
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Planned maintenance refers to any scheduled activity carried out to check a machine is working ok and diagnose procedures to fix it if need it. On the other hand, predictive mainteance is all the techniques which help to define if a machine requires or not maintenance activities so far.

Explanation:

Planned maintenance is based on preventive routines to ensure a machine is working in acceptable conditions and at the same time prevent them to change to risky values performing acticities like parts replacement, cleaning,  etc. The key of this maintenance is schedule, that is to say, is a maintenance that has to be carried out constantly each certain time. Predictive maintenance is different because it is used to define if a machie needs any kind of inspection or if, on the contrary, the machine can continue operating without any intervention. The good point about predictive maintenance is the capability of telling when a maintenance is required and when is no necessarily required which is ideal to save costs.

A commuter train traveling at 50 mi/h is 3 mi from a station. The train then decelerates so that its speed is 15 mi/h when it is
jonny [76]

Answer:

a) t = 277.477\,s\,(4.625\min), b) v_{f} = 0\,\frac{mi}{h}, c) a = -0.128\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}

Explanation:

a) The deceleration experimented by the commuter train in the first 2.5 miles is:

a=\frac{[(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot (\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )]^{2}-[(50\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot (\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )]^{2}}{2\cdot (2.5\,mi)\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )}

a = -0.185\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}

The time required to travel is:

t = \frac{(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,fi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )-(50\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,fi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )}{-0.185\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}} }

t = 277.477\,s\,(4.625\min)

b) The commuter train must stop when it reaches the station to receive passengers. Hence, speed of train must be v_{f} = 0\,\frac{mi}{h}.

c) The final constant deceleration is:

a = \frac{(0\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )-(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )}{(2.875\,min)\cdot (\frac{60\,s}{1\,min} )}

a = -0.128\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}

Five hundred gallons of 89-octane gasoline is obtained by mixing 87-octane gasoline with 92-octane gasoline. (a) Write a system
miskamm [114]

Explanation:

a) The total volume equals the sum of the volumes.

500 = x + y

The total octane amount equals the sum of the octane amounts.

89(500) = 87x + 92y

44500 = 87x + 92y

b) desmos.com/calculator/ekegkzllqx

As x increases, y decreases.

c) Use substitution or elimination to solve the system of equations.

44500 = 87x + 92(500−x)

44500 = 87x + 46000 − 92x

5x = 1500

x = 300

y = 200

The required volumes are 300 gallons of 87 gasoline and 200 gallons of 92 gasoline.
