An inductor in a switch-mode power supply that operates at a
peak current of 8 A needs to store 80 mJ of energy, thereafter
release it to a 10 ? load resistor. Suppose this inductor had to be
custom designed and built as a solenoid coil wound on a pencil (10
mm diameter) with no magnetic properties. Only one layer of turns
is allowed on the pencil’s outer surface, and 0.1-mm diameter
enamel coated wire has to be used. Answer...
Explain how an R-Tree can improve the efficiency of the
fingerprint identification and using an example to illustrate how
to evaluate the quality of an RTree.
a.) What is the thermal efficiency of a steam power plant
operating on the Rankine cycle if saturated steam is supplied to
the turbine at 1000 psia, and the condenser is at 1 psia. Use a
turbine efficiency of 95% and a pump efficiency of 85%. Refer to
Chapter 9, Sections 10-11, as necessary.
b.) Determine the thermal efficiency if the steam is superheated to
1000 F, assuming all else equal.
Does "dynamic pricing" improve economic efficiency? Explain.
Why is it imperative for brick-and-mortar stores to adopt the
same pricing policies as those of online retailers? In terms of
game-theory analysis, why is it a best response for
brick-and-mortar players to do so?
Why and how can companies reduce their fixed costs or switch
them to variable costs? Explain the advantages and disadvantages of
high-fixed and low-fixed costs.
a gas turbine power plant operating on brayton cycle with a fuel
compressor isentropic efficiency of 80 and turbine isentropic
efficiency of 85 percent and it has a pressure ratio of rp. The gas
temperature is 300K at a compressor inlet and 1300K at the turbine
inlet. Heat is received from a source of 1700K. Utilizing the
air-standard assumption (Hot Assumption) and for pressure ratio rp
which varies from 3 to 10, determine:
a) The gas temperature at the exits...
A complementary medicine company is interested in determining if
herbal extracts can improve the efficiency of antibiotics at low
concentrations. Design an experiment to determine if Echinacea
diluted 1:100 can increase the effectiveness of ampicillin against
E. coli when tested at 10% of the minimum inhibitory
concentration of ampicillin.
