Answer:

3270 N/m^2

Explanation:

we can calculate the pressure difference between the bottom and surface of the tank by applying the equation for the net vertical pressure

Py = - Ph ( g ± a )

for a downward movement

Py = - Ph ( g - a )  ------ ( 1 )

From the above data given will  be

p = 1000 kg/m^3, h = 2/3 * 0.5 = 0.33 m , a =2g , g = 9.81

input values into equation 1  becomes

Py =  -Ph ( g - 2g ) = Phg ------ ( 3 )

Py = 1000 * 0.33 * 9.81

    = 3270 N/m^2

A room has a width of 14.1 feet, a length of 15.5 feet, and a ceiling height of 12.0 ft. The average flow rate for this room's a
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Your question lacks the time required hence i will calculate the Average flow rate using a general concept and an assumed time value of 25 seconds  

ANSWER : 104.904 ft^3/sec

Explanation:

General concept : Average flow rate is the volume of fluid per unit time through an area

Hence the average flow rate of the air conditioning unit of this room

Volume of the room / time taken for the air to cycle the room = v / t

assuming the time taken = 25 seconds

volume of room = width * length * height

                          = 14.1 * 15.5 * 12 = 2622.6 ft^3

Average flow rate = V/ t

                              = 2622.6 / 25  = 104.904 ft^3/sec

The boost converter of Fig. 6-8 has parameter Vs 20 V, D 0.6, R 12.5 , L 10 H, C 40 F, and the switching frequency is 200 kHz. (
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

a) the output voltage is 50 V

b)

- the average inductor current is 10 A

- the maximum inductor current is 13 A

- the maximum inductor current is 7 A

c) the output voltage ripple is 0.006 or 0.6%V₀

d) the average current in the diode under ideal components is 4 A

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) the output voltage

V₀ = V_s/( 1 - D )

given that; V_s = 20 V, D = 0.6

we substitute

V₀ = 20 / ( 1 - 0.6 )

V₀ = 20 / 0.4

V₀ = 50 V

Therefore, the output voltage is 50 V

b)

- the average inductor current

I_L = V_s / ( 1 - D )²R

given that R = 12.5 Ω, V_s = 20 V, D = 0.6

we substitute

I_L = 20 / (( 1 - 0.6 )² × 12.5)

I_L = 20 / (( 0.4)² × 12.5)

I_L = 20 / ( 0.16 × 12.5 )

I_L = 20 / 2

I_L = 10 A

Therefore, the average inductor current is 10 A

- the maximum inductor current

I_{Lmax = [V_s / ( 1 - D )²R] + [ V

given that, R = 12.5 Ω, V_s = 20 V, D = 0.6, L = 10 μH, T = 1/200 kHz = 5 hz

we substitute

I_{Lmax = [20 / (( 1 - 0.6 )² × 12.5)] + [ (20 × 0.6 × 5) / (2 × 10) ]

I_{Lmax = [20 / 2 ] + [ 60 / 20 ]    

I_{Lmax = 10 + 3

I_{Lmax = 13 A

Therefore, the maximum inductor current is 13 A

- The minimum inductor current

I_{Lmax = [V_s / ( 1 - D )²R] - [ V

given that, R = 12.5 Ω, V_s = 20 V, D = 0.6, L = 10 μH, T = 1/200 kHz = 5 hz

we substitute

I_{Lmin = [20 / (( 1 - 0.6 )² × 12.5)] - [ (20 × 0.6 × 5) / (2 × 10) ]

I_{Lmin = [20 / 2 ] -[ 60 / 20 ]    

I_{Lmin = 10 - 3

I_{Lmin  = 7 A

Therefore, the maximum inductor current is 7 A

 

c)  the output voltage ripple

ΔV₀/V₀ = D/RCf

given that; R = 12.5 Ω, C = 40 μF = 40 × 10⁻⁶ F, D = 0.6, f = 200 Khz = 2 × 10⁵ Hz

we substitute

ΔV₀/V₀ = 0.6 / (12.5 × (40 × 10⁻⁶) × (2 × 10⁵) )

ΔV₀/V₀ = 0.6 / 100

ΔV₀/V₀ = 0.006 or 0.6%V₀

Therefore, the output voltage ripple is 0.006 or 0.6%V₀

d) the average current in the diode under ideal components;

under ideal components; diode current = output current

hence the diode current will be;

I_D = V₀/R

as V₀ = 50 V and R = 12.5 Ω

we substitute

I_D = 50 / 12.5

I_D = 4 A

Therefore, the average current in the diode under ideal components is 4 A

700.0 liters of a gas are prepared at 760.0 mmHg and 100.0 °C. The gas is placed into a tank under high pressure. When the tank
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The volume of the gas is 11.2 L.

Explanation:

Initially, we have:

V₁ = 700.0 L

P₁ = 760.0 mmHg = 1 atm

T₁ = 100.0 °C

When the gas is in the thank we have:

V₂ =?

P₂ = 20.0 atm

T₂ = 32.0 °C      

Now, we can find the volume of the gas in the thank by using the Ideal Gas Law:

PV = nRT

V_{2} = \frac{nRT_{2}}{P_{2}}    (1)

Where R is the gas constant

With the initials conditions we can find the number of moles:

n = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{RT_{1}}    (2)

By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:

V_{2} = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{RT_{1}}*\frac{RT_{2}}{P_{2}} = \frac{1 atm*700.0 L*32.0 ^{\circ}}{100.0 ^{\circ}*20.0 atm} = 11.2 L

Therefore, When the gas is placed into a tank the volume of the gas is 11.2 L.

I hope it helps you!
