To determine

Check the whether the arrangement of the batteries are in series or parallel for Hand-held calculator (TI 85), flash light and portable radio.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The battery connection for the products as follows:

  • Hand-held calculator (TI 85): The batteries in series give deep power cycle operation. TI 85 model Hand-held calculator has two batteries a series combination of four alkaline batteries and one lithium battery.

    These two are parallel arrangement to connect with the input terminals of the calculator circuit.

  • Flash light: The flash light employs the batteries are connection mostly in series to bring the sum of voltage applied to the light for the deep power cycle operation. The deep power cycle operation makes a single path to the charge flow.

    In some cases parallel connections also preferred where longer life cycle is preferred.

  • Portable radio: Portable radio is employs the series combination of batteries to sum the voltage for the input voltage level.

The arrangement of batteries is shown in Table 1.

2. Design a storage and distribution system for the town of Waffle. The requirements are that fire protection shall be provided, the minimum water pressure at the top of the apartments is to be 240 kPa and the maximum system pressure is to be 550 kPa. The following assumptions may be used: Each of the four apartment buildings is occupied by 50 residents. Each apartment building is four stories high. Each story is 3 meters high. Each house is occupied by three residents. Average daily demand for the village is 500 Lpcd and the peak hourly demand factor is 6.2. Needed fire flow for the houses is 230 m3/h. and for apartment building is 500 m3/h, with 2 h duration. System pressure is to be provided from the elevated storage tank. Minor pressure losses in buildings may be ignored. The distribution system will not contain any loops. Assume that emergency supply (ES), fire department supply (FDS) or off peak pumping are not provided (they are all equal to zero). Provide the following…
1. The city of Ten Sleep proposes to use Crater Lake for its water supply. Water quality analysis results revealed no detectable Giardia, viruses, or Cryptosporidium in the source water (Giardia cysts <1/100 L; Viruses <1/100 L; Cryptosporidium oocysts <0.075/L). Design a disinfection system to treat 3,500 m³/d by direct filtration and chlorine dioxide (CIO2) will be used as a primary disinfectant. The filtered water has a pH of 7.5 and a temperature of 5°C. Provide the following information for your design: • Determine the total removal/inactivation required for disinfection for each pathogen group • Determine the required CT value to achieve the required inactivation for the design conditions (pH, temperature)
