Question
Chapter 63, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The way in which the DIAC operates.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The bi directional device that is used to control the phase shift in thyristors is called the DIAC. The DIAC can be turned in both the polarities forward bias and the reverse bias above a certain voltage.
The DIAC operates in the same way as the unijunction transistor. The DIAC operates in both AC and DC. The DIAC is used to trigger the TRIAC and other thyristors family device.

The water, which flows through the inner tube, enters the heat exchanger at 70°F and leaves at 175°F. The inner tube is ¾-std type L copper. The overall heat transfer coefficient based on the outside diameter of the inner tube is 140 Btu/hr-ft2-°F. Design conditions call for a total heat transfer duty (heat transfer rate between the two fluids) of 20,000 Btu/hr. Determine the required length of this heat exchanger (ft).arrow_forward! Required information A one-shell-pass and eight-tube-passes heat exchanger is used to heat glycerin (cp=0.60 Btu/lbm.°F) from 80°F to 140°F by hot water (Cp = 1.0 Btu/lbm-°F) that enters the thin-walled 0.5-in-diameter tubes at 175°F and leaves at 120°F. The total length of the tubes in the heat exchanger is 400 ft. The convection heat transfer coefficient is 4 Btu/h-ft²°F on the glycerin (shell) side and 70 Btu/h-ft²°F on the water (tube) side.
