Answer:

d. 2.3 ohms (5.3 amperes)

Explanation:

The calculator's 1/x key makes it convenient to calculate parallel resistance.

Req = 1/(1/4 +1/8 +1/16) = 1/(7/16) = 16/7 ≈ 2.3 ohms

This corresponds to answer choice D.

<em>Additional comment</em>

This problem statement does not tell the applied voltage. The answer choices suggest that it is 12 V. If so, the current is 12/(16/7) = 21/4 = 5.25 amperes.

Wet steam at 15 bar is throttled adiabatically in a steady-flow process to 2 bar. The resulting stream has a temperature of 130°

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

$\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

Explanation:

The adiabatic throttling process is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$m\cdot (h_{in} - h_{out}) = 0$

$h_{in} = h_{out}$

Properties of water at inlet and outlet are obtained from steam tables:

State 1 - Inlet (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 1500\,kPa$

$T = 198.29\,^{\textdegree}C$

$h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 6.3068\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

$x = 0.967$

State 2 - Outlet (Superheated Vapor)

$P = 200\,kPa$

$T = 130\,^{\textdegree}C$

$h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

The change of entropy of the steam is derived of the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

$\Delta s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} - 6.3068\, \frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

$\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

This problem has been solved!

Answer: a) 135642 b) 146253

Explanation:

1- the bankers algorithm tests for safety by simulating the allocation for predetermined maximum possible amounts of all resources, as stated this has the greatest degree of concurrency.

3- reserving all resources in advance helps would happen most likely if the algorithm has been used.

5- Resource ordering comes first before detection of any deadlock

6- Thread action would be rolled back much easily of Resource ordering precedes.

4- restart thread and release all resources if thread needs to wait, this should surely happen before killing the thread

2- only option practicable after thread has been killed.

Bii) ; No. Even if deadlock happens rapidly, the safest sequence have been decided already.
