Explain the typical uses of flow switches.

Explanation of Solution
A flow switch is a device that can be placed into a pipe so that when an air or liquid flows against a device called paddle, a switch is activated. This switch either closes or opens an electrical contact. The electrical contacts may be wired to energize the motor starter coils, indicating lights or relays. The flow switch is also used to protect the damage of the device and also for protection of cooling circuits. Refer to Figure 12-2 in the textbook where the flow switch consists of both normally open and closed contacts. Flow switches are typically used in petroleum and chemical industries to sound alarm or light when signal flows and to sound warning light when flow stops.
Conclusion:
Thus, the typical uses of flow switches have been explained.

- . 30-dB, right-circularly polarized antenna in a radio link radiates 5-W of power t 2 GHz. The input impedance of this antenna is 75 ohms, and it is attached ɔ a 50-ohm transmission line. The receiving antenna has an impedance mismatch at its terminals, - which leads to a VSWR of 2. The receiving antenna is about 95% efficient and has a field pattern near the beam maximum given by E, = (2âx + jây) F, (0, 0). The distance between the two antennas is 4,000 km, and the receiving antenna Directivity is 100. Determine the Minimum power Delivered to receiving antenna. 1arrow_forwardOpen plc - ladder logic To control traffic, we have red lights to stop cars and green lights to initiate entry/exit. If a car is in the lane, then the red lights turn ON. If no cars are in the lane, then the green lights turn ON. Upon turning ON the main switch button, the main switch indicator should turn ON and the system should start with green lights ON and red lights OFF?arrow_forward3-4) 3.4-2 Signals g₁(t) = 104П(104) and g2(t) = 8(t) are applied at the inputs of the ideal low-pass filters H₁(f)=(f/20,000) and H2(f) = П(f/10,000) (Fig. P3.4-2).
