Answer:

I = 0.625 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of the light bulb, P = 75 W

Voltage of the circuit, V = 120 V

We need to find the current flowing through it. We know that, Power is given by :

$P=V\times I$

I is the electric current

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{75\ W}{120\ V}\\\\I=0.625\ A$

So, the current is 0.625 A.

Explanation:

Note: Refer the diagram below

Obtaining data from property tables

State 1:

$\left.\begin{array}{l}P_{1}=1.25 \text { bar } \\\text { Sat - vapour }\end{array}\right\} \begin{array}{l}h_{1}=234.45 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \\S_{1}=0.9346 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kgk}\end{array}$

State 2:

$\left.\begin{array}{l}P_{2}=5 \text { bor } \\S_{2}=S_{1}\end{array}\right\} \quad h_{2}=262.78 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}$

State 3:

$\left.\begin{array}{l}P_{3}=5 \text { bar } \\\text { Sat }-4 q\end{array}\right\} h_{3}=71-33 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}$

State 4:

Throttling process $h_{4}=h_{3}=71.33 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}$

(a)

Magnitude of compressor power input

$\dot{w}_{c}=\dot{m}\left(h_{2}-h_{1}\right)=\left(8 \cdot 5 \frac{\mathrm{kg}}{\min } \times \frac{1 \mathrm{min}}{\csc }\right)(262.78-234 \cdot 45)\frac{kj}{kg}$

$w_{c}=4 \cdot 013 \mathrm{kw}$

(b)

Refrigerator capacity

$Q_{i n}=\dot{m}\left(h_{1}-h_{4}\right)=\left(\frac{g \cdot s}{60} k_{0} / s\right) \times(234 \cdot 45-71 \cdot 33) \frac{k J}{k_{8}}$

$Q_{i n}=23 \cdot 108 \mathrm{kW}\\1 ton of retregiration =3.51 k \omega$

$\ Q_{in} =6 \cdot 583 \text { tons }$

(c)

Cop:

$\beta=\frac{\left(h_{1}-h_{4}\right)}{\left(h_{2}-h_{1}\right)}=\frac{Q_{i n}}{\omega_{c}}=\frac{23 \cdot 108}{4 \cdot 013}$

$\beta=5 \cdot 758$

Who can use NIST resources?

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Federal agencies

Explanation:

NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) also called between 1901 and 1988 National Bureau of Standards (NBS), it is an agency of the Technology Administration of the United States Department of Commerce. The mission of this institute is to promote innovation and industrial competition in the United States through advances in metrology, standards and technology in ways that improve economic stability and quality of life.

As part of this mission, NIST scientists and engineers continually refine the science of measurement (metrology) by creating precise engineering and manufacturing required for most current technological advances. They are also directly involved in the development and testing of standards made by the private sector and government agencies. The NIST was originally called the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), a name it had from 1901 to 1988. The progress and technological innovation of the United States depends on the abilities of the NIST, especially if we talk about four areas: biotechnology , nanotechnology, information technologies and advanced manufacturing.

Water is being added to a storage tank at the rate of 500 gal/min. Water also flows out of the bottom through a 2.0-in-inside di

melomori [17]

Answer:

From the answer, the water level is falling (since rate of outflow is more than that of inflow), and the rate at which the water level in the storage tank is falling is

(dh/dt) = - 0.000753

Units of m/s

Explanation:

Let the volume of the system at any time be V.

V = Ah

where A = Cross sectional Area of the storage tank, h = height of water level in the tank

Let the rate of flow of water into the tank be Fᵢ.

Take note that Fᵢ is given in the question as 500 gal/min = 0.0315 m³/s

Let the rate of flow of water out of the storage tank be simply F.

F is given in the form of (cross sectional area of outflow × velocity)

Cross sectional Area of outflow = πr²

r = 2 inches/2 = 1 inch = 0.0254 m

Cross sectional Area of outflow = πr² = π(0.0254)² = 0.00203 m²

velocity of outflow = 60 ft/s = 18.288 m/s

Rate of flow of water from the storage tank = 0.0203 × 18.288 = 0.0371 m³/s

We take an overall volumetric balance for the system

The rate of change of the system's volume = (Rate of flow of water into the storage tank) - (Rate of flow of water out of the storage tank)

(dV/dt) = Fᵢ - F

V = Ah (since A is constant)

dV/dt = (d/dt) (Ah) = A (dh/dt)

dV/dt = A (dh/dt) = Fᵢ - F

Divide through by A

dh/dt = (Fᵢ - F)/A

Fi = 0.0315 m³/s

F = 0.0371 m³/s

A = Cross sectional Area of the storage tank = πD²/4

D = 10 ft = 3.048 m

A = π(3.048)²/4 = 7.30 m²

(dh/dt) = (0.0315 - 0.0370)/7.3 = - 0.000753

(dh/dt) = - 0.000753
