To determine

Whether the component is generally normally closed or open when it is used for the function of start.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

For the component that are used to start are generally normally open as initially they have open contacts and as the component is turned on the contacts get closed and the circuit starts to work.

Consider the Figure 28-2 the start button here is used to start the operation of the circuit and the other start button here is used to start the operation of the circuit. Where the other start button is connected in parallel to the already existing start button. So any one of both the switches can energize the coil M. Thus, the energized coil changes the position of the M contacts of the circuit. The contacts between the line and the load is then closed and the work starts. As the start button is released, the parallel connected auxiliary contacts gets closed and the circuit operation continues.

Thus, the switch is of normally open type.

As shown in the figure below, moist air at T₁ = 36°C, 1 bar, and 35% relative humidity enters a heat exchanger operating at steady state with a volumetric flow rate of 10 m³/min and is cooled at constant pressure to 22°C. Ignoring kinetic and potential energy effects, determine: (a) the dew point temperature at the inlet, in °C. (b) the mass flow rate of moist air at the exit, in kg/min. (c) the relative humidity at the exit. (d) the rate of heat transfer from the moist air stream, in kW. (AV)1, T1 P₁ = 1 bar 11 = 35% 120 T₂=22°C P2 = 1 bar
Air at T₁-24°C, p₁-1 bar, 50% relative humidity enters an insulated chamber operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 3 kg/min and mixes with a saturated moist air stream entering at T₂-7°C, p2-1 bar. A single mixed stream exits at T3-17°C, p3-1 bar. Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects Step 1 Your answer is correct. Determine mass flow rate of the moist air entering at state 2, in kg/min. m2 = 2.1 Hint kg/min Using multiple attempts will impact your score. 5% score reduction after attempt 2 Step 2 Determine the relative humidity of the exiting stream.

A reservoir at 300 ft elevation has a 6-in.-diameter discharge pipe located 50 ft below the surface.  The pipe is 600 ft long and drops in elevation to 150 ft where the flow discharges to the atmosphere. The pipe is made of riveted steel with a roughness height of 0.005 ft.   Determine the flow rate without a head loss Determine the flow rate with the pipe friction head loss. (hints:  Since the velocity is not known for part b and the Reynolds number and friction factor depend on velocity, you will need to iterate to find the solution.  A good first guess is the velocity from part (a))
