Answer:

0.0659 A

Explanation:

Given that :

$I_{0} = 6nA$ ( saturation current )

at 25°c = 300 k ( room temperature )

n = 2 for silicon diode

Determine the saturation current at 100 degrees = 373 k

Diode equation at room temperature = I = Io $\frac{V}{e^{0.025*n} }$

next we have to determine the value of V at 373 k

q / kT = (1.6 * 10^-19) / (1.38 * 10^-23 * 373) = 31.08 V^-1

Given that I is constant

Io = $\frac{e^{0.025*2} }{31.08}$ = 0.0659 A

Answer:

C. Decline the invitation and explain to your manager that to do otherwise is inappropriate for a registered professional engineer.

Explanation:NCEES has 3 major rules with some sub sections which helps to uphold the professional conducts of it's members.

The rule that supports this professional conduct is rule II. LICENSEE’S OBLIGATION TO EMPLOYER AND CLIENTS subsection(d)

Subsection d states that a licensee shall not reveal any information about a client,contractor or his employer to a another party except it is required by Law.

Consider insulation on a circular pipe For the same thickness and type of insulation, the thermal resistance of the insulation i

leonid [27]

Answer:

b). The same for all pipes independent of the diameter

Explanation:

We know,

$R_{conduction}=\frac{ln(\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}})}{2\pi LK}$

$R_{convection}=\frac{1}{h(2\pi r_{2}L)}$

From the above formulas we can conclude that the thermal resistance of a substance mainly depends upon heat transfer coefficient,whereas radius has negligible effects on heat transfer coefficient.

We also know,

Factors on which thermal resistance of insulation depends are :

1. Thickness of the insulation

2. Thermal conductivity of the insulating material.

Therefore from above observation we can conclude that the thermal resistance of the insulation is same for all pipes independent of diameter.
