Answer:

PF= .54

Explanation:

Power Factor equals working/real power (W) over apparent power (VA). 1.0 PF is an efficient equipment. PF= 22/(120*.34)

Steep safety ramps are built beside mountain highways to enable vehicles with defective brakes to stop safely. A truck enters a
Virty [35]

Answer:

a) The additional time required for the truck to stop is <u>8.5 seconds</u>

b) The additional distance traveled by the truck is <u>230.05 ft</u>

Explanation:

Since the acceleration is constant, the average speed is:

(final speed - initial speed) / 2 = 0.75 v0

Since travelling at this speed for 8.5 seconds causes the vehicle to travel 690 ft, we can solve for v0:

0.75v0 * 8.5 = 690

v0 = 108.24 ft/s

The speed after 8.5 seconds is: 108.24 / 2 = 54.12 ft/s

We can now use the following equation to solve for acceleration:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

54.12^2 - 108.24^2 = 2*a*690

a = -6.367 m/s^2

Additional time taken to decelerate: 54.12/6.367 = 8.5 seconds

Total distance traveled:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

0 - 108.24^2 = 2 * (-6.367) * s

solving for s we get total distance traveled = 920.05 ft

Additional Distance Traveled: 920.05 - 690 = 230.05 ft

The water in a large lake is to be used to generate electricity by the installation of a hydraulic turbine-generator. The elevat
ankoles [38]

Answer:

a) 75%

b) 82%

Explanation:

Assumptions:

\text{The mechanical energy for water at turbine exit is negligible.} \\ \\ \text{The elevation of the lake remains constant.}

Properties: The density of water \delta = 1000 kg/m^3

Conversions:

165 \  ft \  to \  meters  = 50 m  \\ \\7000 \ lbm/s \  to  \ kilogram/sec = 3175 kg/s \\ \\1564 \ hp \  to \  kilowatt = 1166 kw \\ \\

Analysis:

Note that the bottom of the lake is the reference level. The potential energy of water at the surface becomes gh. Consider that kinetic energy of water at the lake surface & the turbine exit is negligible and the pressure at both locations is the atmospheric pressure and change in the mechanical energy of water between lake surface & turbine exit are:

e_{mech_{in}} - e_{mech_{out}} = gh - 0

Then;

gh = (9.8 m/s^2) (50 m) \times \dfrac{1 \ kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/s^2}

gh = 0.491 kJ/kg

\Delta E_{mech \ fluid} = m(e_{mech_{in}} - e_{mech_{out}} ) \\ \\ = 3175 kg/s \times 0.491 kJ/kg

= 1559 kW

Therefore; the overall efficiency is:

\eta _{overall} = \eta_{turbine- generator} = \dfrac{W_{elect\ out}}{\Delta E_{mech \fluid}}

= \dfrac{1166 \ kW}{1559 \ kW}

= 0.75

= 75%

b) mechanical efficiency of the turbine:

\eta_{turbine- generator} = \eta_{turbine}\times   \eta_{generator}

thus;

\eta_{turbine} = \dfrac{\eta_{[turbine- generator]} }{\eta_{generator}} \\ \\ \eta_{turbine} = \dfrac{0.75}{0.92} \\ \\ \eta_{turbine} = 0.82 \\ \\ \eta_{turbine} = 82\%

The volume fraction of particles in a WC-particle Cu-matrix CERMET is 0.84 Calculate the minimum expected elastic modulus, in GP
Lynna [10]

Answer:

the minimum expected elastic modulus is 372.27 Gpa

Explanation:

First we put down the data in the given question;

Volume fraction V_f = 0.84

Volume fraction of matrix material V_m = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16

Elastic module of particle E_f = 682 GPa

Elastic module of matrix material E_m = 110 GPa

Now, the minimum expected elastic modulus will be;

E_{CT = (E_f × E_m ) / ( E_fV_m  + E_m V_f  )

so we substitute in our values

E_{CT = (682 × 110 ) / ( [ 682 × 0.16 ]  + [ 110 × 0.84] )

E_{CT = ( 75,020 ) / ( 109.12 + 92.4 )

E_{CT = 75,020 / 201.52

E_{CT = 372.27 Gpa

Therefore, the minimum expected elastic modulus is 372.27 Gpa

Act as food engineers or biomedical engineers and write a short paragraph explaining why they need to know about mixtures and so
drek231 [11]

Answer:

We use our knowledge of mixtures and solutions when we are designing new synthetic materials. This is especially the case in the biomedical field, where we have to deal with compatibility issues when placing materials made outside the human body into the body.We also design ways to help separate mixtures and solutions in industrial, commercial and environmental processes.

Hope this helps
