Answer:

ALL CAREFULLY ANSWERED CORRECTLY

Explanation:

1) A loaf of Bread PHYSICAL SYSTEM

✓ How can the environment affect the edibility of the bread

✓ What are the constituents that makes up the bread

✓ What process is involved in these constituents mixing to form the loaf.

2) The law of thermodynamics makes us to understand that when heat/energy passes through a system, the systems internal energy changes with respect to the conservation of energy law. That is energy lost = energy gained. Typically, ice would melt in a cup of hot tea because of the thermal energy in the molecules of the hot tea. When you heat a material, you are adding thermal kinetic energy to its molecules and usually raising its temperature. The temperature of the ice raises due to the kinetic energy added to it and it melts to water.

3) The theory of systems view the world as a complex system of interconnected parts. If we consider the society; (financial systems, political systems, etc) we will agree that they individually have their own components and it's the summation of this components that makes the system, this implies that system thinking could be applicable in this kinda of systems as long as they are made up of components.

4) Technology has boosted every sector of our lives and it has the capacity to do more. Restricting it's importance to entertainment alone would be an underusing of its potentials. Engineering students infact should not need any drive to be encouraged about maximizing all it can do in shaping our world.

5) ~ Nature shows its splendid soul

~Never ceases to leave us in amazement

~And we are in love

A three-phase line has an impedance of 0.4 j2.7 ohms per phase. The line feeds two balanced three-phase loads that are connected

Viktor [21]

Answer:

a. The magnitude of the line source voltage is

Vs = 4160 V

b. Total real and reactive power loss in the line is

Ploss = 12 kW

Qloss = j81 kvar

Sloss = 12 + j81 kVA

c. Real power and reactive power supplied at the sending end of the line

Ss = 540.046 + j476.95 kVA

Ps = 540.046 kW

Qs = j476.95 kvar

Explanation:

a. The magnitude of the line voltage at the source end of the line.

The voltage at the source end of the line is given by

Vs = Vload + (Total current×Zline)

Complex power of first load:

S₁ = 560.1 < cos⁻¹(0.707)

S₁ = 560.1 < 45° kVA

Complex power of second load:

S₂ = P₂×1 (unity power factor)

S₂ = 132×1

S₂ = 132 kVA

S₂ = 132 < cos⁻¹(1)

S₂ = 132 < 0° kVA

Total Complex power of load is

S = S₁ + S₂

S = 560.1 < 45° + 132 < 0°

S = 660 < 36.87° kVA

Total current is

I = S*/(3×Vload) ( * represents conjugate)

The phase voltage of load is

Vload = 3810.5/√3

Vload = 2200 V

I = 660 < -36.87°/(3×2200)

I = 100 < -36.87° A

The phase source voltage is

Vs = Vload + (Total current×Zline)

Vs = 2200 + (100 < -36.87°)×(0.4 + j2.7)

Vs = 2401.7 < 4.58° V

The magnitude of the line source voltage is

Vs = 2401.7×√3

Vs = 4160 V

b. Total real and reactive power loss in the line.

The 3-phase real power loss is given by

Ploss = 3×R×I²

Where R is the resistance of the line.

Ploss = 3×0.4×100²

Ploss = 12000 W

Ploss = 12 kW

The 3-phase reactive power loss is given by

Qloss = 3×X×I²

Where X is the reactance of the line.

Qloss = 3×j2.7×100²

Qloss = j81000 var

Qloss = j81 kvar

Sloss = Ploss + Qloss

Sloss = 12 + j81 kVA

c. Real power and reactive power supplied at the sending end of the line

The complex power at sending end of the line is

Ss = 3×Vs×I*

Ss = 3×(2401.7 < 4.58)×(100 < 36.87°)

Ss = 540.046 + j476.95 kVA

So the sending end real power is

Ps = 540.046 kW

So the sending end reactive power is

Qs = j476.95 kvar

Radioactive wastes are temporarily stored in a spherical container, the center of which is buried a distance of 10 m below the e

puteri [66]

Given:

outer radius, R' = 10 m

inner diameter, d = 2 m

inner radius, R = $\frac{d}{2}$ = 1 m

surface temperature, T' = $20^{\circ}C$

Thermal conductivity of soil, K = 0.52 W/mK

Solution:

To calculate the thermal temperature of conductor, T, we know amount of heat, Q is given by :

Q = $\frac{T - T'}{\frac{R' - R}{4\pi KRR'}}$

500 = $(T - 20)\frac{4\pi \times0.52\times 1\times 10}{10 - 1}$

T = 68.86 +20 = $88.865^{\circ}C$

Therefore, outside surface temperature is $88.865^{\circ}C$

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A) Steel becomes too hot in the Sun and can burn the children

Explanation:

The properties of steel includes;

Low specific heat capacity, high thermal and electrical toughness, high hardness, high tensile strength, high yield strength, appreciable elongation, high fatigue strength, can easily corrode, high malleability and ability to creep

Therefore, due to the low specific heat capacity, which is 0.511 J/(g·°C) and high conductivity of steel which is about 32 W/(m·k), the temperature of the steel can rapidly rise and the hot steel surface can readily conduct the heat, (due to the temperature difference) to other bodies that come in contact
