Answer:The engineering design process usually begins by stating a need or want as a clearly defined challenge in the form of a statement with criteria and constraints. For example, a group of engineers might be given the task of designing, for example, a cell phone with a particular set of features, of a particular size and weight, with a certain minimum battery life, and that is able to be manufactured at a particular cost. Criteria are characteristics of a successful solution, such as the desired function or a particular level of efficiency. Constraints are limitations on the design, such as available funds, resources, or time. Together, the criteria and constraints are referred to as the requirements for a successful solution.

Once the challenge is defined, the next steps are often to investigate relevant scientific and technical information and the way that similar challenges have been solved in the past and then to generate various possible solutions. This generation of potential solutions is the most creative part of the design process and is often aided by sketching and discussion. Using a process of informed decision-making, the designer or design team compares different solutions to the requirements of the problem and either chooses the most promising solution or synthesizes several ideas into an even more promising potential solution. The next step is usually to try out the solution by constructing a model, prototype (first of its kind), or simulation and then testing it to see how well it meets the criteria and falls within the constraints. An additional characteristic of engineering design is that ideas are tested before investing too much time, money, or effort

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

a) 199.04 ohms

b) attached in image

c) -0.696dB

Explanation:

We are given:

Fc = 8Khz = 8000hz

$C = 100nF = 100*10^-^9F$

a)Using the formula:

$F_c = \frac{1}{2pie*Rc}$

$8000= \frac{1}{2*3.14*R*100*10^-^9}$

$R =\frac{1}{2*3.14*100*10^-^9*8000}$

R = 199.04 ohms

b) diagram is attached

c) $H(w) = \frac{V_out(w)}{Vin(w)} = \frac{1}{1-j\frac{wc}{w}}$

$H(F) = \frac{1}{1-j\frac{fc}{f}}$

At F = 20KHz and Fc= 8KHz we have:

$H(F)= \frac{1}{1-j\frac{8}{20}} = \frac{1}{1-j(0.4)}$

$|H(F)|= \frac{1}{\sqrt{1^2+(0.4)^2}}$

=0.923

|H(F)| in dB = 20log |H(F)|

=20log0.923

= -0.696dB

A motor driven water pump operates with an inlet pressure of 96 kPa (absolute) and mass flow rate of 120 kg/min. The motor consu

NeX [460]

Answer:

The maximum water pressure at the discharge of the pump (exit) = 496 kPa

Explanation:

The equation expressing the relationship of the power input of a pump can be computed as:

$E _{pump,u} = \dfrac{m(P_2-P_1)}{\rho}$

where;

m = mass flow rate = 120 kg/min

the pressure at the inlet $P_1$ = 96 kPa

the pressure at the exit $P_2$ = ???

the pressure $\rho$ = 1000 kg/m³

∴

$0.8 \times 10^{3} \ W = \dfrac{(120 \ kg/min * 1min/60 s)(P_2-96000)}{1000}$

$0.8 \times 10^{3}\times 1000 = {(120 \ kg/min * 1min/60 s)(P_2-96000)}$

$800000 = {(120 \ kg/min * 1min/60 s)(P_2-96000)}$

$\dfrac{800000}{2} = P_2-96000$

400000 = P₂ - 96000

400000 + 96000 = P₂

P₂ = 496000 Pa

P₂ = 496 kPa

Thus, the maximum water pressure at the discharge of the pump (exit) = 496 kPa

Why is concrete on its own not a good material to use

Inga [223]

Answer:

It has poor tensile strength despite having high compressive strength

Explanation:

Concrete exhibits high compressive strength when used. However, it has very low compressive strength. This is the reason why concrete is normally combined with steel to make a composite building material called reinforced concrete. The steel reinforces concrete hence increasing the tensile strength in RC buildings. The end composite is durable and fireproof. Generally, the main reason why concrete is not use on its own is due to its poor tensile strength.
