What is the advantage of using solid-state devices in electronic control systems?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The advantage of electronic control systems using solid state devices.

Explanation of Solution

The term "solid state" and "semi-conductor" refers to the same electronic component; and signifies the different properties of electronic component. The term "solid state" indicates the physical description of component and the term "semi-conductor" refers to the electrical conductivity of component.  The advantages of solid-state devices are smaller in size, ruggedness construction, increased life, speed response, and resistance to extreme environmental conditions.

The ventilating fan of the bathroom of a building has a volume flow rate of 33 L/s and runs continuously. If the density of air inside is 1.20 kg/m3, determine the mass of air vented out in one day.   The mass of air is  kg.
A steady-flow compressor is used to compress helium from 15 psia and 70°F at the inlet to 200 psia and 600°F at the outlet. The outlet area and velocity are 0.01 ft2 and 100 ft/s, respectively, and the inlet velocity is 53 ft/s. Determine the mass flow rate and the inlet area. The gas constant of helium is R = 2.6809 psia·ft3/lbm·R.   The mass flow rate is  lbm/s.   The inlet area is  ft2.
