Answer:

the sun gives off light while at the same time gives off heat. the shoe box cooker takes that heat and light and reflects it around the shoe box. then the heat settles down into whatever is in the shoe box. the heat after being reflected around the shoe box is magnified by the foil wrapped in the box thus allowing the food or drink to be heated. the foil is a conductor of heat because it is metal .

Two loads connected in parallel draw a total of 2.4 kW at 0.8 pf lagging from a 120-V rms, 60-Hz line. One load absorbs 1.5 kW a

stealth61 [152]

Answer: a) 0.948 b) 117.5µf

Explanation:

Given the load, a total of 2.4kw and 0.8pf

V= 120V, 60 Hz

P= 2.4 kw, cos θ= 80

P= S sin θ - (p/cos θ) sin θ

= P tan θ(cos^-1 (0.8)

=2.4 tan(36.87)= 1.8KVAR

S= 2.4 + j1. 8KVA

1 load absorbs 1.5 kW at 0.707 pf lagging

P= 1.5 kW, cos θ= 0.707 and θ=45 degree

Q= Ptan θ= tan 45°

Q=P=1.5kw

S1= 1.5 +1.5j KVA

S1 + S2= S

2.4+j1.8= 1.5+1.5j + S2

S2= 0.9 + 0.3j KVA

S2= 0.949= 18.43 °

Pf= cos(18.43°) = 0.948

b.) pf to 0.9, a capacitor is needed.

Pf = 0.9

Cos θ= 0.9

θ= 25.84 °

(WC) V^2= P (tan θ1 - tan θ2)

C= 2400 ( tan (36. 87°) - tan (25.84°)) /2 πf × 120^2

f=60, π=22/7

C= 117.5µf

Water flows at a rate of 10 gallons per minute in a new horizontal 0.75?in. diameter galvanized iron pipe. Determine the pressur

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

$\frac{\delta p }{l} = 30.4 lb/ft^3$

Explanation:

Given data:

flow rate = 10 gallon per minute = 0.0223 ft^3/sec

diameter = 0.75 inch

we know discharge is given as

Q = VA

solve for velocity V = \frac{Q}{A}[/tex]

$V = \frac{0.223}{\frac{\pi}{4} \frac{0.75}{12}}$

V = 7.27 ft/sec

we know that Reynold number

$Re = \frac{VD}{\nu}$

$Re = \frac{7.27 \times \frac{0.75}{12}}{1.21\times 10^{-5}}$

$Re = 3.76 \times 10^4$

calculate the $\frac{\epsilon }{D}$ ratio to determine the fanning friction f

$\frac{\epsilon }{D} = \frac{0.0005}{\frac{0.75}{12}} = 0.008$

from moody diagram f value corresonding to Re and $\frac{\epsilon }{D}$ is 0.037

for horizontal pipe

$\delta p = \frac{f l \rho v^2}{2D}$

$\frac{\delta p }{l} = \frac{1 \times 0.037 \times 1.94 \times 7.27}{\frac{0.75}{12}}$

where 1.94 slug/ft^3is density of water

$\frac{\delta p }{l} = 30.4 lb/ft^3$
