Two loads connected in parallel draw a total of 2.4 kW at 0.8 pf lagging from a 120-V rms, 60-Hz line. One load absorbs 1.5 kW a

stealth61 [152]

Answer: a) 0.948 b) 117.5µf

Explanation:

Given the load, a total of 2.4kw and 0.8pf

V= 120V, 60 Hz

P= 2.4 kw, cos θ= 80

P= S sin θ - (p/cos θ) sin θ

= P tan θ(cos^-1 (0.8)

=2.4 tan(36.87)= 1.8KVAR

S= 2.4 + j1. 8KVA

1 load absorbs 1.5 kW at 0.707 pf lagging

P= 1.5 kW, cos θ= 0.707 and θ=45 degree

Q= Ptan θ= tan 45°

Q=P=1.5kw

S1= 1.5 +1.5j KVA

S1 + S2= S

2.4+j1.8= 1.5+1.5j + S2

S2= 0.9 + 0.3j KVA

S2= 0.949= 18.43 °

Pf= cos(18.43°) = 0.948

b.) pf to 0.9, a capacitor is needed.

Pf = 0.9

Cos θ= 0.9

θ= 25.84 °

(WC) V^2= P (tan θ1 - tan θ2)

C= 2400 ( tan (36. 87°) - tan (25.84°)) /2 πf × 120^2

f=60, π=22/7

C= 117.5µf

Define the terms (a) thermal conductivity, (b) heat capacity and (c) thermal diffusivity

IceJOKER [234]

Explanation:

(a)

The measure of material's ability to conduct thermal energy (heat) is known as thermal conductivity. For examples, metals have high thermal conductivity, it means that they are very efficient at conducting heat. The SI unit of heat capacity is W/m.K.

The expression for thermal conductivity is:

$q=-\kappa \bigtriangledown T$

Where,

q is the heat flux

$\kappa$ is the thermal conductivity

$\bigtriangledown T$ is the temperature gradient.

(b)

Heat capacity for a substance is defined as the ratio of the amount of energy required to change the temperature of the substance and the magnitude of temperature change. The SI unit of heat capacity is J/K.

The expression for Heat capacity is:

$C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}$

Where,

C is the Heat capacity

E is the energy absorbed/released

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature

(c)

Thermal diffusivity is defined as the thermal conductivity divided by specific heat capacity at constant pressure and its density. The Si unit of thermal diffusivity is m²/s.

The expression for thermal diffusivity is:

$\alpha=\frac{\kappa}{C_p \times \rho}$

Where,

$\alpha$ is thermal diffusivity

$\kappa$ is the thermal conductivity

$C_p$ is specific heat capacity at constant pressure

$\rho$ is density

Water vapor at 5 bar, 320°C enters a turbine operating at steady state with a volumetric flow rate of 0.65 m3/s and expands adia

harina [27]

Answer:

Power = 371.28 kW

Explanation:

Initial pressure, P1 = 5 bar

Final pressure, P2 = 1 bar

Initial temperature, T1 = 320°C

Final temperature, T2 = 160°C

Volume flow rate, V = 0.65m³/s

From steam tables at state 1,

h1 = 3105.6 kJ/kg, s1 = 7.5308 kJ/kgK

v1 = 0.5416 m³/kg

Mass flow rate, m = V/v1

m = 1.2 kg/s

From steam tables, at state 2

h2 = 2796.2 kJ/kg, s2 = 7.6597 kJ/kgK

Power developed, P = m(h1 - h2)

P = 1.2(3105.6-2796.2)

P = 371.28 kW

You are hitting a nail with a hammer (mass of hammer =1.8lb) the initial velocity of the hammer is 50 mph (73.33 ft/sec). The ti

Archy [21]

Answer:

The nail exerts a force of 573.88 Pounds on the Hammer in positive j direction.

Explanation:

Since we know that the force is the rate at which the momentum of an object changes.

Mathematically $\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{\Delta \overrightarrow{p}}{\Delta t}$

The momentum of any body is defines as $\overrightarrow{p}=mass\times \overrightarrow{v}$

In the above problem we see that the moumentum of the hammer is reduced to zero in 0.023 seconds thus the force on the hammer is calculated using the above relations as

$\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(\overrightarrow{v_{f}}-\overrightarrow{v_{i}})}{\Delta t}$

$\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(0-(-73.33)}{0.23}=\frac{1.8\times 73.33}{0.23}=573.88Pounds$
