Answer:

You need a 120V to 24V commercial transformer  (transformer 1:5), a 100 ohms resistance, a 1.5 K ohms resistance and a diode with a minimum forward current of 20 mA (could be 1N4148)

Step by step design:

  1. Because you have a 120V AC voltage supply you need an efficient way to reduce that voltage as much as possible before passing to the rectifier, for that I recommend a standard 120V to 24V transformer.  120 Vrms = 85 V and 24 Vrms = 17V = Vin
  2. Because 17V is not 15V you still need a voltage divider to step down that voltage, for that we use R1 = 100Ω and R2 = 1.3KΩ. You need to remember that more than 1 V is going to be in the diode, so for our calculation we need to consider it. Vf = (V*R2)/(R1+R2), V = Vin - 1 = 17-1 = 16V and Vf = 15, Choosing a fix resistance R1 = 100Ω and solving the equation we find R2 = 1.5KΩ
  3. Finally to select the diode you need to calculate two times the maximum current and that would be the forward current (If) of your diode. Imax = Vf/R2 = 10mA and If = 2*Imax = 20mA

Our circuit meet the average voltage (Va) specification:

Va = (15)/(pi) = 4.77V considering the diode voltage or 3.77V without considering it

A hot brass plate is having its upper surface cooled by impinging jet of air at temperature of 15°C and convection heat transfer
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

809.98°C

Explanation:

STEP ONE: The first step to take in order to solve this particular Question or problem is to find or determine the Biot value.

Biot value = (heat transfer coefficient × length) ÷ thermal conductivity.

Biot value = (220 × 0.1)÷ 110 = 0.2.

Biot value = 0.2.

STEP TWO: Determine the Fourier number. Since the Biot value is greater than 0.1. Tis can be done by making use of the formula below;

Fourier number = thermal diffusivity × time ÷ (length)^2.

Fourier number = (3 × 60 × 33.9 × 10^-6)/( 0.1)^2 = 0.6102.

STEP THREE: This is the last step for the question, here we will be calculating the temperature of the center plane of the brass plate after 3 minutes.

Thus, the temperature of the center plane of the brass plane after 3 minutes = (1.00705) (0.89199) (900- 15) + 15.

= > the temperature of the center plane of the brass plane after 3 minutes = 809.98°C.

An air-standard Diesel cycle engine operates as follows: The temperatures at the beginning and end of the compression stroke are
Vika [28.1K]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An air-standard Diesel cycle engine operates as follows: The temperatures at the beginning and end of the compression stroke are 30 °C and 700 °C, respectively. The net work per cycle is 590.1 kJ/kg, and the heat transfer input per cycle is 925 kJ/kg. Determine the a) compression ratio, b) maximum temperature of the cycle, and c) the cutoff ratio, v3/v2.

Use the cold air standard assumptions.

Answer:

a) The compression ratio is 18.48

b) The maximum temperature of the cycle is 1893.4 K

c) The cutoff ratio, v₃/v₂ is 1.946

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Temperature at the start of a compression T₁ = 30°C = (30 + 273) = 303 K

Temperature at the end of a compression T₂ = 700°C = (700 + 273) = 973 K

Net work per cycle W_{net = 590.1 kJ/kg

Heat transfer input per cycle Qs = 925 kJ/kg

a) compression ratio;

As illustrated in the diagram below, 1 - 2 is adiabatic compression;

so,

Tγ^{Y-1 = constant { For Air, γ = 1.4 }

hence;

⇒ V₁ / V₂ = ( T₂ / T₁ )^{\frac{1}{Y-1}

so we substitute

⇒ V₁ / V₂ = (  973 K / 303 K  )^{\frac{1}{1.4-1}

= (  3.21122  )^{\frac{1}{0.4}

= 18.4788 ≈ 18.48

Therefore, The compression ratio is 18.48

b) maximum temperature of the cycle

We know that for Air, Cp = 1.005 kJ/kgK

Now,

Heat transfer input per cycle Qs = Cp( T₃ - T₂ )

we substitute

925 = 1.005( T₃ - 700 )

( T₃ - 700 ) = 925 / 1.005

( T₃ - 700 ) = 920.398

T₃ = 920.398 + 700

T₃ = 1620.398 °C

T₃ = ( 1620.398 + 273 ) K

T₃ = 1893.396 K ≈ 1893.4 K

Therefore, The maximum temperature of the cycle is 1893.4 K

c)  the cutoff ratio, v₃/v₂;

Since pressure is constant, V ∝ T

So,

cutoff ratio S = v₃ / v₂  = T₃ / T₂

we substitute

cutoff ratio S = 1893.396 K / 973 K

cutoff ratio S = 1.9459 ≈ 1.946

Therefore, the cutoff ratio, v₃/v₂ is 1.946

Anna [14]

Answer:

Enthalpy of reaction (kJoules/mole)

Heat of formation of products (kJoules/mole)

Heat of reaction of reactants (kJoules/mole)

Explanation:

The general expression for calculating the overall enthalpy of reaction is given as following:

ΔH = ∑ΔH[producst] - ∑Δ[reactants]

Thus, the heat of reaction is given as the difference between the formation of the products and the formation of the reactants. The units are expressed as kJ/mol of reactants or products.

Thus, the three values are fundamental in the determination of the overall energy of the reaction from Hess' Law.
