Answer:

The gain of each antenna in decibels  is 353 .33 dB.

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency = 2 GHz

Diameter  =  1.2 m

To Find:

The gain of each antenna in decibels = ?

Solution:

Relationship between antenna gain and effective area

= \frac{4 \pi f^2 A_e}{c^2}-----------------------------------(1)

Where

f is frequency

A_e  is  effective area

c is the speed of light

A_e = effective area of a parabolic antenna with a face area of A is 0.56A

A_e =  0.56(\pi r^2)

r  is the radius

r = \frac{1.2}{2}

r =  0.6

A_e = 0.56(\pi (0.6)^2)

A_e = 0.56( 0.36 \pi)

A_e = 0.2016 \pi

Substituting the values in eq(1)

= \frac{4 \pi (2 \times 10^9)^2 \times 0.2016\pi}{(3 \times 10^8)^2}

= \frac{4 \pi (4 \times 10^{18} ) \times 0.2016\pi}{(9 \times 10^{16})}

= \frac{4 \pi (4 \times 10^{2} ) \times 0.2016\pi}{9}

= \frac{31.80 \times 10^{2}}{9}

= 353 .33 dB

Answer: ALL CAREFULLY ANSWERED CORRECTLY.

Explanation:

1) A loaf of Bread PHYSICAL SYSTEM

✓ How can the environment affect the edibility of the bread

✓ What are the constituents that makes up the bread

✓ What process is involved in these constituents mixing to form the loaf.

2) The law of thermodynamics makes us to understand that when heat/energy passes through a system, the systems internal energy changes with respect to the conservation of energy law. That is energy lost = energy gained. Typically, ice would melt in a cup of hot tea because of the thermal energy in the molecules of the hot tea. When you heat a material, you are adding thermal kinetic energy to its molecules and usually raising its temperature. The temperature of the ice raises due to the kinetic energy added to it and it melts to water.

3) The theory of systems view the world as a complex system of interconnected parts. If we consider the society; (financial systems, political systems, etc) we will agree that they individually have their own components and it's the summation of this components that makes the system, this implies that system thinking could be applicable in this kinda of systems as long as they are made up of components.

4) Technology has boosted every sector of our lives and it has the capacity to do more. Restricting it's importance to entertainment alone would be an underusing of its potentials. Engineering students infact should not need any drive to be encouraged about maximizing all it can do in shaping our world.

5) ~ Nature shows its splendid soul

~Never ceases to leave us in amazement

~And we are in love

Which of the following can effect LRO?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The lunar radiation environment, allowing scientists to determine potential impacts to astronauts and other life. It also will test models on the effects of radiation and measure radiation absorption by a type of plastic that is like human tissue. The results could aid in the development of protective technologies to help keep future lunar crew members safe. CRaTER was built and developed by Boston University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston.

Consider a 2-shell-passes and 8-tube-passes shell-and-tube heat exchanger. What is the primary reason for using many tube passes
Maru [420]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The shell and tube heat exchanger are designated by the order of tube and shell passes.

- A single tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, the fluid exits.

- A multiple tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, U bend of the fluid, exchange of heat, .... ( nth order of pass ), and then exits.

- By increasing the number of passes we have increased the "retention time" of a specific volume of tube fluid; hence, providing sufficient time for the fluid to exchange heat with the shell fluid.

- By making more U-turns we are allowing greater length for the fluid flow to develop with " constriction and turns " into turbulence. This turbulence usually at the final passes allows mixing of fluid and increases the heat transfer coefficient by:

                                U ∝ v^( 0.8 )    .... ( turbulence )

- The higher the velocity of the fluids the greater the heat transfer coefficient. The increase in the heat transfer coefficient will allow less heat energy carried by either of the fluids to be wasted ; hence, reduced losses.

Thereby, increases the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger ( higher NTU units ).

Match the word with the definition:
aksik [14]

1. Renewable Resources  = (Renewable means you can keep making it) =  resources that can be replenished (such as trees)

2. Nonrenewable Resources  =  ( Nonrenewable means it can't be made once it is used up) = resources that are gone once they are used (such as fossil fuels)

3. Producer  =  ( produces something) = person who makes goods or provides services

4. Consumer  = ( uses something) =   person whose wants are satisfied by using goods and services

5. Allocate  = ( put someplace) =   distribute

6. Choice =  option
