Answer:
(i) 12 V in series with 18 Ω.
(ii) 0.4 A; 1.92 W
(iii) 1,152 J
(iv) 18Ω — maximum power transfer theorem
Explanation:
<h3>(i)</h3>
As seen by the load, the equivalent source impedance is ...
10 Ω + (24 Ω || 12 Ω) = (10 +(24·12)/(24+12)) Ω = 18 Ω
The open-circuit voltage seen by the load is ...
(36 V)(12/(24 +12)) = 12 V
The Thevenin's equivalent source seen by the load is 12 V in series with 18 Ω.
__
<h3>(ii)</h3>
The load current is ...
(12 V)/(18 Ω +12 Ω) = 12/30 A = 0.4 A . . . . load current
The load power is ...
P = I^2·R = (0.4 A)^2·(12 Ω) = 1.92 W . . . . load power
__
<h3>(iii)</h3>
10 minutes is 600 seconds. At the rate of 1.92 J/s, the electrical energy delivered is ...
(600 s)(1.92 J/s) = 1,152 J
__
<h3>(iv)</h3>
The load resistance that will draw maximum power is equal to the source resistance: 18 Ω. This is the conclusion of the Maximum Power Transfer theorem.
The power transferred to 18 Ω is ...
((12 V)/(18 Ω +18 Ω))^2·(18 Ω) = 144/72 W = 2 W
Answer:
c. an initial condition specifies the temperature at the start of the problem and a boundary condition provides information about temperatures on the boundaries.
Explanation:
Conduction refers to the transfer of thermal energy or electric charge as a result of the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction.
In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.
Any material or object that allow the conduction (transfer) of electric charge or thermal energy is generally referred to as a conductor. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.
Hence, the difference between an initial condition and a boundary condition for conduction in a solid is that an initial condition specifies the temperature at the start of the problem and a boundary condition provides information about temperatures on the boundaries.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Mass burn technology is a type of waste-to-energy technology commonly used in the mass-burn system, where unprocessed municipal solid waste is burned in a large incinerator with a boiler, to generate heat used in the production of electricity.
