I wish to have a computer whose machine-level instructions are all 32 bits each. If I want to have all instructions of the form

mov R1, R2 where R1 and R2 are registers. What is the maximum number of instructions that my machine can have, if my computer needs to have at least 1000 different registers referenced in the instructions?

Answer:

Maximum number that can be represented by 13 bits is 8192 Instructions

Explanation:

number of instructions = 1000

number of bits = log(1000) x number of register

= 6 bits

Since the complete instruction must have 32 bits, then

remaining number of bits = 32 - 6 = 236

number of registers in instruction = 2

number of bits per register = 26/2 = 13

Maximum number that can be represented by 13 bits = $2^{n}$

= 2¹³ = 8192

How many trips would one rubber-tired Herrywampus have to make to backfill a space with a geometrical volume of 5400 cubic yard?

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288

Explanation:

a) By volume.

The shrinkage factor is:

$\frac{5400cu-yd}{1-0.25} =7200cu-yd$

The volume at loose is:

$V_{loose} =V_{bank} (1+swell-factor)=7200(1+0.2)=8640cu-yd$

If the Herrywampus has a capacity of 30 cubic yard:

$\frac{8640cu-yd}{30cu-yd/trip} =288trip$

b) By weight

The swell factor in terms of percent swell is equal to:

$pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{pounds-per-cubic-yard-bank}{\frac{percent-swell}{100}+1 }$

$pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{3000}{\frac{20}{100} +1} =2500lb/cu-yd$

The weight of backfill is:

$8640cu-yd*2500\frac{lb}{cu-yd} *\frac{1ton}{2000lb} =10800ton$

The Herrywampus has a capacity of 40 ton:

$\frac{10800}{40ton/trip} =270trip$

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288

An automotive fuel cell consumes fuel at a rate of 28m3/h and delivers 80kW of power to the wheels. If the hydrogen fuel has a h

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The efficiency of this fuel cell is 80.69 percent.

Explanation:

From Physics we define the efficiency of the automotive fuel cell ( $\eta$ ), dimensionless, as:

$\eta = \frac{\dot W_{out}}{\dot W_{in}}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$\dot W_{in}$ - Maximum power possible from hydrogen flow, measured in kilowatts.

$\dot W_{out}$ - Output power of the automotive fuel cell, measured in kilowatts.

The maximum power possible from hydrogen flow is:

$\dot W_{in} = \dot V\cdot \rho \cdot L_{c}$ (Eq. 2)

Where:

$\dot V$ - Volume flow rate, measured in cubic meters per second.

$\rho$ - Density of hydrogen, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$L_{c}$ - Heating value of hydrogen, measured in kilojoules per kilogram.

If we know that $\dot V = \frac{28}{3600}\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}$ , $\rho = 0.0899\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $L_{c} = 141790\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$ and $\dot W_{out} = 80\,kW$ , then the efficiency of this fuel cell is:

(Eq. 1)

$\dot W_{in} = \left(\frac{28}{3600}\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}\right)\cdot \left(0.0899\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(141790\,\frac{kJ}{kg} \right)$

$\dot W_{in} = 99.143\,kW$

(Eq. 2)

$\eta = \frac{80\,kW}{99.143\,kW}$

$\eta = 0.807$

The efficiency of this fuel cell is 80.69 percent.
