A 150 MVA, 24 kV, 123% three-phase synchronous generator supplies a large network. The network voltage is 27 kV. The phase angle

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

the generator induced voltage is 60.59 kV

Explanation:

Given:

S = 150 MVA

Vline = 24 kV = 24000 V

$X_{s} =1.23(\frac{V_{line}^{2} }{s} )=1.23\frac{24000^{2} }{1500} =4723.2 ohms$

the network voltage phase is

$V_{phase} =\frac{V_{nline} }{\sqrt{3} } =\frac{27}{\sqrt{3} } =15.58kV$

the power transmitted is equal to:

$|E|=\frac{P*X_{s} }{3*|V_{phase}|sinO } ;if-O=60\\|E|=\frac{300*4.723}{3*15.58*sin60} =34.98kV$

the line induced voltage is

$|E_{line} |=\sqrt{3} *|E|=\sqrt{3} *34.98=60.59kV$

Five batch jobs A through E arrive at a computer center in the order A to E at almost the same time. They have estimated running

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Turnaround time is the amount of time that elapses between the job arriving and completing. We assume that all jobs arrive at time 0, the turnaround time will simply be the time that they complete.

Round Robin:

we assume that the time quantum of the scheduler is 1 second.The table below gives a break down of which jobs will be processed during each time quantum. A asterisk(*) indicates that the job completes during that quantum.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

A B C D E A B C* D E A B D E A B D* E A B E A B* E A E A E* A A

C* = 8

D*=17

B*=23

E*=28

AVERAGE TURNAROUND = (8+17+23+28+30)/5 =106/5 = 21.2 MINUTES

Determine the design moment strength for a W21x73 steel beam with a simple span of 18 ft when lateral bracing for the compressio

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Determine the design moment strength (ϕMn) for a W21x73 steel beam with a simple span of 18 ft when lateral bracing for the compression flange is provided at the ends only (i.e., Lb = 18 ft). Report the result in kip-ft.

Use Fy=50 ksi and assume Cb=1.0 (if needed).

Answer: the design moment strength for the W21x73 steel beam is 566.25 f-ft

Explanation:

Given that;

section W 21 x 73 steel beam;

now from the steel table table for this section;

Zx = Sx = 151 in³

also given that; fy = 50 ksi and Cb = 1.0

QMn = 0.9 × Fy × Zx

so we substitute

QMn = 0.9 × 50 × 151

QMn = 6795 k-inch

we know that;

12inch equals 1 foot

QMn = 6795 k-inch / 12

QMn = 566.25 f-ft

Therefore the design moment strength for the W21x73 steel beam is 566.25 f-ft
