Answer:

Normally closed (NC)

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

$V = IR$

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.

I represents current measured in amperes.

R represents resistance measured in ohms.

A switch can be defined as an electronic component or device that is typically used to prevent or allow the flow of electric current (electrons) from one point to another in an electrical circuit.

There are two logical forms used for designing a switch and these includes;

I. Normally opened (NO).

II. Normally closed (NC).

A Normally closed (NC) contact allows current to flow when the switch's operator is not activated.

Basically, a Normally closed (NC) contact would always remained closed unless a certain (specific) condition is met. Thus, when the contacts are moved, the circuit becomes open and thus, prevents the flow of electric current in the circuit.

natulia [17]

Answer:

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s

Explanation:

given data

area = 3 ft by 3 ft

air density = 0.075 lbm/ft³

to find out

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor

solution

we know that energy balance equation that is express as

E in - E out = $\frac{dE \ system}{dt}$ ......................1

and at steady state $\frac{dE \ system}{dt}$ = 0

so we can say from equation 1

E in = E out

minimum power required is

E in = W = m $\frac{V^2}{2}$ = $\rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}$

put here value

E in = $\rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}$

E in = $0.075 *3*3* 22 \frac{22^2}{2}$

E in = 0.1437 Btu/s

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s

A large tank is filled to capacity with 500 gallons of pure water. Brine containing 2 pounds of salt per gallon is pumped into t

Nataly [62]

Answer:

A) A(t) = 10(100 - t) + c(100 - t)²

B) Tank will be empty after 100 minutes.

Explanation:

A) The differential equation of this problem is;

dA/dt = R_in - R_out

Where;

R_in is the rate at which salt enters

R_out is the rate at which salt exits

R_in = (concentration of salt in inflow) × (input rate of brine)

We are given;

Concentration of salt in inflow = 2 lb/gal

Input rate of brine = 5 gal/min

Thus;

R_in = 2 × 5 = 10 lb/min

Due to the fact that the solution is pumped out at a faster rate, thus it is reducing at the rate of (5 - 10)gal/min = -5 gal/min

So, after t minutes, there will be (500 - 5t) gallons in the tank

Therefore;

R_out = (concentration of salt in outflow) × (output rate of brine)

R_out = [A(t)/(500 - 5t)]lb/gal × 10 gal/min

R_out = 10A(t)/(500 - 5t) lb/min

So, we substitute the values of R_in and R_out into the Differential equation to get;

dA/dt = 10 - 10A(t)/(500 - 5t)

This simplifies to;

dA/dt = 10 - 2A(t)/(100 - t)

Rearranging, we have;

dA/dt + 2A(t)/(100 - t) = 10

This is a linear differential equation in standard form.

Thus, the integrating factor is;

e^(∫2/(100 - t)) = e^(In(100 - t)^(-2)) = 1/(100 - t)²

Now, let's multiply the differential equation by the integrating factor 1/(100 - t)².

We have;

So, we ;

(1/(100 - t)²)(dA/dt) + 2A(t)/(100 - t)³ = 10/(100 - t)²

Integrating this, we now have;

A(t)/(100 - t)² = ∫10/(100 - t)²

This gives;

A(t)/(100 - t)² = (10/(100 - t)) + c

Multiplying through by (100 - t)²,we have;

A(t) = 10(100 - t) + c(100 - t)²

B) At initial condition, A(0) = 0.

So,0 = 10(100 - 0) + c(100 - 0)²

1000 + 10000c = 0

10000c = -1000

c = -1000/10000

c = -0.1

Thus;

A(t) = 10(100 - t) + -0.1(100 - t)²

A(t) = 1000 - 10t - 0.1(10000 - 200t + t²)

A(t) = 1000 - 10t - 1000 + 20t - 0.1t²

A(t) = 10t - 0.1t²

Tank will be empty when A(t) = 0

So, 0 = 10t - 0.1t²

0.1t² = 10t

Divide both sides by 0.1t to give;

t = 10/0.1

t = 100 minutes
