Explanation of Solution

Transistors are classified on the basis of the majority charge carriers present in the parts of the transistor. The three parts of transistor are emitter, collector and base. The base situated between collector and emitter. If the collector has majority charge carriers as electrons, base has holes and emitter has electrons as majority charge carriers then such a transistor is named as NPN transistor.

If the majority charge carriers in collector and emitter are holes and majority charge carriers in base are electrons, such a transistor is named as PNP transistor. According to the usage of P-type or N-type semiconductor in emitter, collector and base, transistor is classified as NPN or PNP transistors. Therefore, NPN transistors and PNP transistors are the two fundamental types of transistors.

Fresh air at 21.1 C in which partial pressure of water vapor is 0.018 atmosphere is blown at the rate of 214 m3/h first through a preheater and then adiabatically saturated in spray chambers to 100% saturation and again reheated this reheated air has humidity of 0.024 kg water vapor per kg dry air. It is assumed that the fresh air and the air leaving the re-heater have the same percentage humidity. Determine:- a- The temperature of preheater, spray-chamber and re-heater b- Heat requirement for preheating and re-heating 11:39 م
