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

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Technician B

Explanation:

The brakes can lockup due to the following reasons

1) Overheating break systems

2) Use of wrong brake fluid

3) Broken or damaged drum brake backing plates, rotors, or calipers

4) A defective ABS part, or a defective parking mechanism or proportioning valve

5) Brake wheel cylinders, worn off

A pipe is insulated such that the outer radius of the insulation is less than the critical radius. Now the insulation is taken o
irina [24]

Answer:

the heat transfer from the pipe will decrease when the insulation is taken off for r₂< r_{cr}

where;

r₂ = outer radius

r_{cr} = critical radius

Explanation:

Note that the critical radius of insulation depends on the thermal conductivity of the insulation k and the external convection heat transfer coefficient h .

r_{cr} =\frac{k}{h}

The rate of heat transfer from the cylinder increases with the addition of insulation for outer radius less than  critical radius (r₂< r_{cr}) 0,  and reaches a maximum when r₂ = r_{cr}, and starts to decrease for r₂< r_{cr}. Thus, insulating the pipe may actually increase the rate of heat transfer from the pipe instead of decreasing it when r₂< r_{cr} .

bija089 [108]

Answer:

(a) 20 MHz

(b) 1.025 KW

(c) 3.33 ns

(d) 33 pF

Explanation:

(a) 20,000,000 Hz = 20 x 10^6 Hz = 20 Mega Hz = <u>20 MHz</u>

(b) 1025 W = 1.025 x 10^3 W = 1.025 Kilo W = <u>1.025 KW</u>

(c) 0.333 x 10^(-8) s = 3.33 x 10^(-9) s = 3.33 nano s = <u>3.33 ns</u>

(d) 33 x10^(-12)F = 33 pico F = <u>33 pF</u>
