Answer:

The minimum wire size for a 20 A circuit would be 14 gauge wire. However modern fire and building (in the United States) code dictates that 12 gauge wire be used for 20 A. This is for added safety because there is a chance that 14 gauge wire can be overloaded by 20 A if the situation is right.

Answer:

The pressure reduces to 2.588 bars.

Explanation:

According to Bernoulli's theorem for ideal flow we have

$\frac{P}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{V^{2}}{2g}+z=constant$

Since the losses are neglected thus applying this theorm between upper and lower porion we have

$\frac{P_{u}}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{V-{u}^{2}}{2g}+z_{u}=\frac{P_{L}}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{V{L}^{2}}{2g}+z_{L}$

Now by continuity equation we have

$A_{u}v_{u}=A_{L}v_{L}\\\\\therefore v_{L}=\frac{A_{u}}{A_{L}}\times v_{u}\\\\v_{L}=\frac{d^{2}_{u}}{d^{2}_{L}}\times v_{u}\\\\\therefore v_{L}=\frac{2500}{900}\times 3.5\\\\\therefore v_{L}=9.72m/s$

Applying the values in the Bernoulli's equation we get

$\frac{P_{L}}{\gamma _{w}}=\frac{300000}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{3.5^{2}}{2g}-\frac{9.72^{2}}{2g}(\because z_{L}=z_{u})\\\\\frac{P_{L}}{\gamma _{w}}=26.38m\\\\\therefore P_{L}=258885.8Pa\\\\\therefore P_{L}=2.588bars$

What is the braks mean effictive pressure?

OverLord2011 [107]

Engine cylinder pressure

<u>Explanation:</u>

Brake mean effective pressure is a method to calculate the engine cylinder pressure which would give the measured brake horsepower. Brake mean effective pressure is used to identify engine efficiency regardless of capacity or engine speed.
It is used to identify engine efficiency.It is measured by means of transducers or pressure gauges.
It is the measure of engine capacity to do work.
