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

About ceramics: Only can be optically opaque or semi-transparent. a) True b)-False
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer: True

Explanation: Ceramics have the property that when the band gap present between the atoms are larger than the light energy then the tend to become opaque because the light scattering is caused . They also show the property of being translucent when there are chances of the light to get a path through the surface of ceramic so they get the light at some parts e.g.porcelain .Therefore the statement given is true that ceramics can be optically opaque or semi-transparent(translucent).

____ [38]

Answer:

Engineering Controls. The best engineering controls to prevent heat-related illness is to make the work environment cooler and to reduce manual workload with mechanization. A variety of engineering controls can reduce workers' exposure to heat: Air conditioning, Increased general ventilation , Cooling fans , Local exhaust ventilation at points of high heat production or moisture, Reflective shields to redirect radiant heat , Insulation of hot surfaces Elimination of steam leaks , Cooled seats or benches for rest breaks , Use of mechanical equipment to reduce manual work, Misting fans that produce a spray of fine water droplets.
