Answer:

The electric ceiling fan was invented in 1882 by engineer and inventor, Philip Diehl. He had earlier invented an electric sewing machine and adapted the motor from this invention to create the ceiling fan. He called his invention the “Diehl Electric Fan” and it was such a success that he soon had many other people competing with him.

A series AC circuit contains a resistor, an inductor of 250 mH, a capacitor of 4.40 µF, and a source with ΔVmax = 240 V operatin

slega [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inductance = 250 mH = 250 / 1000 = 0.25 H

capacitance = 4.40 µF = 4.4 × 10⁻⁶ F ( µ = 10⁻⁶)

ΔVmax = 240, f frequency = 50Hz and I max = 110 mA = 110 /1000 = 0.11A

a) inductive reactance = 2πfl = 2 × 3.142 × 50 × 0.25 H =78.55 ohms

b) capacitive reactance = $\frac{1}{2\pi fC}$ = 1 / ( 2 × 3.142× 50 × 4.4 × 10⁻⁶ ) = 723.34 ohms

c) impedance = $\frac{Vmax}{Imax}$ = 240 / 0.11 = 2181.82 ohms

It is desired to produce and aligned carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a longitudinal tensile strength of 630 MPa. Calc

ratelena [41]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

Diameter (D) = 0.03 mm = 0.00003 m, length (L) = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, longitudinal tensile strength $(\sigma_{cd})=630\ MPa = 630*10^6\ Pa$ , Fracture strength

$(\sigma_f)=5100\ MPa=5100*10^6\ Pa,fiber-matrix\ stres(\sigma_m)=17.5\ MPa=17.5*10^6\ Pa,matrix\ strength=\tau_c=17\ MPa=17 *10^6\ Pa$

a) The critical length ( $L_c$ ) is given by:

$L_c=\sigma_f*(\frac{D}{2*\tau_c} )=5100*10^6*\frac{0.00003}{2*17*10^6}=0.0045\ m=4.5\ mm$

The critical length (4.5 mm) is greater than the given length, hence th composite can be produced.

b) The volume fraction (Vf) is gotten from the formula:

$\sigma_{cd}=\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}*V_f+\sigma_m(1-V_f)\\\\V_f=\frac{\sigma_{cd}-\sigma_{m}}{\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}-\sigma_{m}} \\\\Substituting:\\\\V_f=\frac{630*10^6-17.5*10^6}{\frac{0.0024*17*10^6}{0.00003} -17.5*10^6} \\\\V_f=0.456$
