Answer:

(i) 169.68 volt

(ii) 16.90 volt

(iii) 16.90 volt

(iv) 108.07 volt

(v) 2.161 A

Explanation:

Turn ratio is given as 10:1

We have given that input voltage $v_p=120volt$

(i) We know that peak voltage is give by $v_{peak}=\sqrt{2}v_p=\sqrt{2}\times 120=169.68volt$

(ii) We know that for transformer $\frac{v_p}{v_s}=\frac{n_p}{n_s}$

So $\frac{169.08}{v_s}=\frac{10}{1}$

$v_s=16.90volt$

So peak voltage in secondary will be 16.90 volt

(iii) Peak voltage of the rectifier will be equal to the peak voltage of the secondary

So peak voltage of the rectifier will be 16.90 volt

(iv) Dc voltage of the rectifier is given by $v_{dc}=\frac{2v_m}{\pi }=\frac{2\times 1.414\times 120}{3.14}=108.07volt$

(v) Now dc current is given by $i_{dc}=\frac{v_{dc}}{R}=\frac{108.07}{50}=2.1614A$

Water flows through a nozzle at the end of a fire hose. If the nozzle exit velocity must be 20 m/s and the exit diameter is 40 m

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

minimum flow rate provided by pump is 0.02513 m^3/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Exit velocity of nozzle = 20m/s

Exit diameter = 40 mm

We know that flow rate Q is given as

$Q = A \times V$

where A is Area

$A =\frac{\pi}{4} \times (40\times 10^{-3})^2 = 1.256\times 10^{-3} m^2$

$Q = 1.256\times 10^{-3} \times 20 = 0.02513 m^3/s$

minimum flow rate provided by pump is 0.02513 m^3/s

Should the ship breaking business continue why or why not?

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Ship-breaking or ship demolition is a type of ship disposal involving the breaking up of ships for either a source of parts, which can be sold for re-use, or for the extraction of raw materials, chiefly scrap. It may also be known as ship dismantling, ship cracking, or ship recycling. Modern ships have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years before corrosion, metal fatigue and a lack of parts render them uneconomical to operate.[1] Ship-breaking allows the materials from the ship, especially steel, to be recycled and made into new products. This lowers the demand for mined iron ore and reduces energy use in the steel making process. Fixtures and other equipment on board the vessels can also be reused. While ship-breaking is sustainable, there are concerns about the use of poorer countries without stringent environmental legislation. It is also labor-intensive, and considered one of the world's most dangerous industries.[2]

In 2012, roughly 1,250 ocean ships were broken down, and their average age was 26 years.[3][4] In 2013, the world total of demolished ships amounted to 29,052,000 tonnes, 92% of which were demolished in Asia. As of January 2020, India has the largest global share at 30%;[5] followed by Bangladesh, China and Pakistan.[6] Alang, India currently has the world's largest ship graveyard,[5] followed by Chittagong Ship Breaking Yard in Bangladesh and Gadani in Pakistan.[6]

The largest sources of ships are states of China, Greece and Germany respectively, although there is a greater variation in the source of carriers versus their disposal.[7] The ship-breaking yards of India, Bangladesh, China and Pakistan employ 225,000 workers as well as providing many indirect jobs. In Bangladesh, the recycled steel covers 20% of the country's needs and in India it is almost 10%.[8]

As an alternative to ship-breaking, ships may be sunk to create artificial reefs after legally-mandated removal of hazardous materials, or sunk in deep ocean waters. Storage is a viable temporary option, whether on land or afloat, though all ships will be eventually scrapped, sunk, or preserved for museums.

Six housing subdivisions within a city area are target for emergency service by a centralized fire station. Where should the new

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since there are six points, the minimum distance from all points would be the centroid of polygon formed by A,B,C,D,E,F

To find the coordinates of centroid of a polygon we use the following formula. Let A be area of the polygon.

$C_{x}=\frac{1}{6A} sum(({x_{i} +x_{i+1})(x_{i}y_{i+1}-x_{i+1}y_{i}))$ where i=1 to N-1 and N=6

$C_{y}=\frac{1}{6A} sum(({y_{i} +y_{i+1})(x_{i}y_{i+1}-x_{i+1}y_{i}))$

A area of the polygon can be found by the following formula $A=\frac{1}{2} sum(x_{i} y_{i+1} -x_{i+1} y_{i})$ where i=1 to N-1

$A=\frac{1}{2}[ (x_{1} y_{2} -x_{2} y_{1})+ (x_{2} y_{3} -x_{3} y_{2})+(x_{3} y_{4} -x_{4} y_{3})+(x_{4} y_{5} -x_{5} y_{4})+(x_{5} y_{6} -x_{6} y_{5})]$

A=0.5[(20×25 -25×15) +(25×32 -13×25)+(13×21 -4×32)+(4×8 -18×21)+(18×14 -25×8)

A=225.5 miles²

Now putting the value of area in Cx and Cy

$C_{x} =\frac{1}{6A}[ [(x_{1}+x_{2})(x_{1} y_{2} -x_{2} y_{1})]+ [(x_{2}+x_{3})(x_{2} y_{3} -x_{3} y_{2})]+[(x_{3}+x_{4})(x_{3} y_{4} -x_{4} y_{3})]+[(x_{4}+x_{5})(x_{4} y_{5} -x_{5} y_{4})]+[(x_{5}+x_{6})(x_{5} y_{6} -x_{6} y_{5})]]$

putting the values of x's and y's you will get

$C_{x} =15.36$

For Cy

$C_{y} =\frac{1}{6A}[ [(y_{1}+y_{2})(x_{1} y_{2} -x_{2} y_{1})]+ [(y_{2}+y_{3})(x_{2} y_{3} -x_{3} y_{2})]+[(y_{3}+y_{4})(x_{3} y_{4} -x_{4} y_{3})]+[(y_{4}+y_{5})(x_{4} y_{5} -x_{5} y_{4})]+[(y_{5}+y_{6})(x_{5} y_{6} -x_{6} y_{5})]]$

putting the values of x's and y's you will get

$C_{y} =22.55$

So coordinates for the fire station should be (15.36,22.55)

A pipe of 0.3 m outer diameter at a temperature of 160°C is insulated with a material having a thermal conductivity of k = 0.055

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Q=0.95 W/m

Explanation:

Given that

Outer diameter = 0.3 m

Thermal conductivity of material

$K= 0.055(1+2.8\times 10^{-3}T)\frac{W}{mK}$

So the mean conductivity

$K_m=0.055\left ( 1+2.8\times 10^{-3}T_m \right )$

$T_m=\dfrac{160+273+40+273}{2}$

$T_m=373 K$

$K_m=0.055\left ( 1+2.8\times 10^{-3}\times 373 \right )$

$K_m=0.112 \frac{W}{mK}$

So heat conduction through cylinder

$Q=kA\dfrac{\Delta T}{L}$

$Q=0.112\times \pi \times 0.15^2\times 120$

Q=0.95 W/m
