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.

Suppose a consumer advocacy group would like to conduct a survey to find the proportion p of consumers who bought the newest gen

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

a) Sample size = 1691

b) 95% Confidence Interval = (0.3696, 0.4304)

Explanation:

(a) How large a sample n should they take to estimate p with 2% margin of error and 90% confidence?

The margin of error is given by

$MoE = z \cdot \frac{\sqrt{p(1-p)} }{\sqrt{n} } \\\\$

Where z is the corresponding z-score for 90% confidence level

z = 1.645 (from z-table)

for p = 0.50 and 2% margin of error, the required sample size would be

$n = \frac{1.645^{2} \cdot 0.50(1-0.50)}{0.02^{2}} \\\\n = \frac{0.6765}{0.0004} \\\\n = 1691\\$

(b) The advocacy group took a random sample of 1000 consumers who recently purchased this mobile phone and found that 400 were happy with their purchase. Find a 95% confidence interval for p.

The sample proportion is

p = 400/1000

p = 0.40

z = 1.96 (from z-table)

n = 1000

The confidence interval is given by

$CI = p \pm z \cdot \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } \\\\CI = 0.40 \pm 1.96 \cdot \sqrt{\frac{0.40(1-0.40)}{1000} } \\\\CI = 0.40 \pm 1.96 \cdot 0.01549 \\\\CI = 0.40 \pm 0.0304 \\\\CI = 0.40 - 0.0304 \: and \: 0.40 + 0.0304\\\\CI = (0.3696 ,\: 0.4304)$

Therefore, we are 95% confident that the proportion of consumers who bought the newest generation of mobile phone were happy with their purchase is within the range of (0.3696, 0.4304)

What is Confidence Interval?

The confidence interval represents an interval that we can guarantee that the target variable will be within this interval for a given confidence level.

Why do electricians require critical thinking skills? In order to logically identify alternative solutions to problems in order

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

In order to logically identify alternative solutions to problems

Explanation:

Electricians are specialized in electrical wiring of buildings, transmission lines, stationary machines, and related equipment. They are either employed in the installations of new electrical components, or to maintain an already installed component. The job of an electrician can be mentally tasking, especially in troubleshooting for fault, and methods of fixing of faults. Some problems might require an out-of-norm approach to solve, and the electrician has to be able to logically identify alternative solutions to problems.
