A wire is made from a material having a temperature coefficient of resistivity of 0.0003125 (°C^-1). In an experiment, we mainta

in a constant potential difference of 150 volts across the wire and measure the power dissipation in it as a function of temperature ; at a temperature of 20° C, the power dissipation is 300 watts. What is the (%) change in the power dissipation as the wire's temperature rises from 20°C to 1820°C?

Answer:

The percentage change in the power dissipation as the wire's temperature rises from 20°C to 1820°C is 36%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature coefficient of resistivity = 0.0003125

Potential difference = 150 V

Temperature = 20° C

Power = 300 watt

Wire's initial temperature = 20°C

Wire's final temperature = 1820°C

We need to calculate the resistance at 20°C

Using formula of power

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R_{0}}

R_{0}=\dfrac{V^2}{P}

Where, P = power

V = Potential difference

R_{0}=\dfrac{150^2}{300}

R_{0}=75\ \Omega

We need to calculate the resistance at 1820°C

Using formula of temperature of coefficient of resistivity

R=R_{0}(1+\alpha(T-T_{0}))

R=75(1+0.0003125(1820-20))

R=117.19\ \Omega

We need to calculate the power

Using formula of power

P'=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

P'=\dfrac{150^2}{117.19}

P'=192\ Watt

We need to calculate the percentage change in the power dissipation as the wire's temperature rises from 20°C to 1820°C

\Delta P=|\dfrac{P'-P}{P}|\times100

\Delta P=|\dfrac{192-300}{300}|\times100

\Delta P=36\%

Hence, The percentage change in the power dissipation as the wire's temperature rises from 20°C to 1820°C is 36%.

Answer:

The power decreases by 36%

Explanation:

Given:

At 20° C

Power, P₀ = 300 W

Potential difference, V = 150 volts

Now, power is given as

P = V²/R

where, R is the resistance

on substituting the values, we get

300 = 150²/R₀

or

R₀ = 75 Ω

Now, the variation of resistance with temperature is given as

R = R₀[1 + α(T - T₀)]

where, α is the temperature coefficient of resistivity = 0.0003125 (°C⁻¹)

now, at

T₀ = 20° C

R₀ = 75 Ω

for

T = 1820° C

we have

R = R₀[1 + α(T - T₀)]

substituting the values

we get

R = 75×[1 + 0.0003125 × (1820 - 20)]

or

R = 117.18 Ω

Now using the formula for power

We have,

P = V²/R

or

P = 150²/117.18 = 192 W

Therefore, the percentage change will be

= \frac{P-P_0}{P_0}\times 100

on substituting the values , we get

= \frac{192-300}{300}\times 100

= -36%

here, negative sign depicts the decrease in power

Refrigerant-134a enters the expansion valve of a refrigeration system at 160 psia as a saturated liquid and leaves at 30 psia. D
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Temperature : 92.9 F

Internal Energy change: -2.53 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

As

mh1=mh2

h1=h2

In table A-11 through 13E

p2=120Psi, h1= 41.79 Btu/lbm,

u1=41.49

So T1=90.49 F

P2=20Psi

h2=h1= 41.79 Btu/lbm

T2= -2.43F

u2= 38.96 Btu/lbm

T2-T1 = 92.9 F

u2-u1 = -2.53 Btu/lbm

In the following diagrams the larger vector has a magnitude of 10, and the smaller
Anton [14]

the sum of vectors with the Pythagorean theorem allows us to find that the maximum magnitude occurs for the case:

d) the two vectors are parallel

Vectors are physical quantities that have modulus and direction, for example: force, velocity, acceleration, etc.

Vector algebra has defined the sum, the product by a scalar and by a vector.  The modulus and the direction of the resulting vector must be encoded.

The sum of two quantities is done using the Pythagorean theorem

                  c² = a² + b²

where c is the resultant called hypotenuse, a and b are the summing vectors called legs; trigonometry is used for the direction.

Let's apply this expression to the present case

a, b) perpendicular vectors

              c² = a² + b²

              c = \sqrt{6^2+10^2}

              c = 11.7

the magnitude is the same in both cases, changing the direction of the vector

c) Antiparallel vectors

             

For this case the vectors are collinear, so the sum reduces to the algebraic addition

             c = a-b

             c = 6 -10

             c = -4

d) parallel vectors

             c = a + b

             c = 4 + 10

             c = 14

We can see that the vectors addition gives their maximum and minimum values ​​when the vectors are collinear.

In conclusion using the vectors addition we find that the correct answer is

d) the two vectors are parallel

This isn’t homework related but what methods do you guys recommend for shifting realities ? .I’ve tried the raven method for wee
elena55 [62]

Answer:

subs

Explanation:

I've seen subliminals online that are supposed to help shifting. You could see for yourself if they work for you. You could probably also use the method where you act like you already have your desires and results. I have seen a lot of people act as if they have their desires and affirm it constantly. Ex: you want to lose weight, so you act as if you already are your desired weight and tell yourself that you are such and such weight, and don't contradict it by saying that you aren't. I hope that this helps.
