What is the modulus of resilience for a tensile test specimen with a nearly linear elastic region if the yield strength is 500MP

ella [17]

Answer:

The modulus of resilience is 166.67 MPa

Explanation:

Modulus of resilience is given by yield strength ÷ strain

Yield strength = 500 MPa

Strain = 0.003

Modulus of resilience = 500 MPa ÷ 0.003 = 166.67 MPa

Consider two different versions of algorithm for finding gcd of two numbers (as given below), Estimate how many times faster it

juin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1:

a) The formula for compute greatest advisor is

gcd(m,n) = gcd (n,m mod n)

the gcd(31415,14142) by applying Euclid's algorithm is

gcd(31,415,14,142) =gcd(14,142,3,131)

=gcd=(3,131, 1,618)

=gcd(1,618, 1,513)

=gcd(1,513, 105)

=gcd(105, 43)

=gcd(43, 19)

=gcd(19, 5)

=gcd(5, 4)

=gcd(4, 1)

=gcd(1, 0)

STEP 2

b) The number of comparison of given input with the algorithm based on checking consecutive integers and Euclid's algorithm is

The number of division using Euclid's algorithm =10 from part (a)

The consecutive integer checking algorithm:

The number of iterations =14,142 and 1 or 2 division of iteration.

14,142 ∠= number of division∠ = 2*14,142

Euclid's algorithm is faster by at least 14,142/10 =1400 times

At most 2*14,142/10 =2800 times.

Design a half-wave recti er which provides a peak voltage of 15 V, and anaverage voltage of 3.8 V when driven by a 120 V (rms) a

nirvana33 [79]

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:

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
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
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

The structure of a house is such that it loses heat at a rate of 4500kJ/h per °C difference between the indoors and outdoors. A

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

15.24°C

Explanation:

The quality of any heat pump pumping heat from cold to hot place is determined by its coefficient of performance (COP) defined as

$COP=\frac{Q_{in}}{W}$

Where Q_{in} is heat delivered into the hot place, in this case, the house, and W is the work used to pump heat

You can think of this quantity as similar to heat engine's efficiency

In our case, the COP of our heater is

$COP_{heater} = \frac{\frac{4500\ kJ}{3600\ s} *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4\ kW}$

Where T_{house} = 24°C and T_{out} is temperature outside

To achieve maximum heating, we will have to use the most efficient heat pump, and, according to the second law of thermodynamics, nothing is more efficient that Carnot Heat Pump

Which has COP of:

$COP_{carnot}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}$

So we equate the COP of our heater with COP of Carnot heater

$\frac{1.25 *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}$

Rearrange the equation

$\frac{1.25}{4}(24-T_{out})^2-24=0$

Solve this simple quadratic equation, and you should get that the lowest outdoor temperature that could still allow heat to be pumped into your house would be

15.24°C
