What type of pressure switch is generally used to sense small changes in low pressure systems?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The type of pressure switch that is generally used to sense small variations in low-pressure system.

Explanation of Solution

Pressure switches are the switches that operate with respect to pressure variation in a system. In general, the pressure system is classified into low-pressure system and high-pressure system. The low-pressure system uses a sensitive pressure switch. The diaphragm pressure switch is classified as a sensitive pressure switch. The diaphragm can respond to small pressures.

Thus, the type of pressure switch that is generally used to sense small variations in low-pressure system is a diaphragm pressure switch.

A start-up company wants to convert an ICE vehicle into an electric vehicle with the following specification. Power:  250 (HP) horsepower, (note: 1HP = 745 W) Range: 300-miles Fuel economy: 33.5 kilometers per gallon of gasoline. Efficiency of the ICE: 25% Energy Conversion: One gallon of gasoline at 100% efficiency is equal to 33.5 kWh/gallon).     a)Calculate the EV consumption rate as Wh/km and find the total energy of the battery pack in KWh to replace the internal combustion engine.                                                                                             b)Design an 8-module battery pack for this full electric vehicle without compromising its range and performance (power). Use commercially available cylindrical cells lithium cell with 20Ah capacity and 3.125 V average voltage. Cell dimensions are 5cm diameter and 10 cm height. The electric motor requires 250 V input that will be provided directly from the battery pack, Report the configuration of each module in…
