Answer:

The SCR over voltage crowbar or protection circuit is connected between the output of the power supply and ground. ... It also clamps the gate voltage at ground potential until the Zener turns on. The capacitor C1 is present to ensure that short spikes to not trigger the circuit.

What are the four categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing?

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

Explanation:

The four categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing are metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

i) Metals: Metals are solids made up of atoms held by matrix of electrons. They are good conductors of heat and electricity, ductile and strong.

ii) Composite: This is a combination of two or more materials. They have high strength to weight ratio, stiff, low conductivity. E.g are wood, concrete.

iii) Ceramics: They are inorganic, non-metallic crystalline compounds with high hardness and strength as well as poor conductors of electricity and heat.

iv) Polymers: They have low weight and are poor conductors of electricity and heat

Sea water with a density of 1025 kg/m3 flows steadily through a pump at 0.21 m3 /s. The pump inlet is 0.25 m in diameter. At the

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

$\dot W_{pump} = 16264.922\,W\,(16.265\,kW)$

Explanation:

The pump is modelled after applying Principle of Energy Conservation, whose form is:

$\frac{P_{1}}{\rho\cdot g}+ \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2\cdot g} +z_{1} + h_{pump}=\frac{P_{2}}{\rho\cdot g}+ \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2\cdot g} +z_{2}$

The head associated with the pump is cleared:

$h_{pump} = \frac{P_{2}-P_{1}}{\rho\cdot g}+\frac{v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2}}{2\cdot g}+(z_{2}-z_{1})$

Inlet and outlet velocities are found:

$v_{1} = \frac{0.21\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} }{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (0.25\,m)^{2} }$

$v_{1} \approx 4.278\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v_{2} = \frac{0.21\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} }{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (0.152\,m)^{2} }$

$v_{2} \approx 11.573\,\frac{m}{s}$

Now, the head associated with the pump is finally computed:

$h_{pump} = \frac{175\,kPa-81.326\,kPa}{(1025\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )} +\frac{(11.573\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(4.278\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )} + 1.8\,m$
