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

An escalator handles a steady load of 26 people per minute in elevating them from the first to the second floor through a vertic
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

\eta = 70.711\,\%

Explanation:

The power needed to make the escalator working is obtained by means of the Work-Energy Theorem:

\dot W  = \dot U_{g}

\dot W = \dot n \cdot m_{p}\cdot g \cdot \Delta y

\dot W = \left(26\,\frac{persons}{min}\right)\cdot (124\,lbm)\cdot \left(32.174\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,lbf}{32.174\,\frac{lbm\cdot ft}{s^{2}} } \right)\cdot (27.5\,ft)

\dot W = 88660\,\frac{lbf\cdot ft}{min}\,\left(2.687\,hp\right)

The mechanical efficiency of the escalator is:

\eta = \frac{2.687\,hp}{3.8\,hp}\times 100\,\%

\eta = 70.711\,\%

A particle is emitted from a smoke stack with diameter of 0.05 mm. In order to determine how far downstream it travels it is imp
Nikolay [14]

Answer: downward velocity = 6.9×10^-4 cm/s

Explanation: Given that the

Diameter of the smoke = 0.05 mm = 0.05/1000 m = 5 × 10^-5 m

Where radius r = 2.5 × 10^-5 m

Density = 1200 kg/m^3

Area of a sphere = 4πr^2

A = 4 × π× (2.5 × 10^-5)^2

A = 7.8 × 10^-9 m^2

Volume V = 4/3πr^3

V = 4/3 × π × (2.5 × 10^-5)^3

V = 6.5 × 10^-14 m^3

Since density = mass/ volume

Make mass the subject of formula

Mass = density × volume

Mass = 1200 × 6.5 × 10^-14

Mass M = 7.9 × 10^-11 kg

Using the formula

V = sqrt( 2Mg/ pCA)

Where

g = 9.81 m/s^2

M = mass = 7.9 × 10^-11 kg

p = density = 1200 kg/m3

C = drag coefficient = 24

A = area = 7.8 × 10^-9m^2

V = terminal velocity

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

V = sqrt[( 2 × 7.9×10^-11 × 9.8)/(1200 × 24 × 7.8×10^-9)]

V = sqrt[ 1.54 × 10^-9/2.25×10-4]

V = 6.9×10^-6 m/s

V = 6.9 × 10^-4 cm/s
