Question 25 Time left 0:15:00 Hide Answer saved Points out of 3.33 P Flag question A consumer advocate researches the length of life between two brands of refrigerators, Brand A and Brand B. He collects data (measured in years) on the longevity of 40 refrigerators for Brand A and 40 refrigerators for Brand B, and finds that the average longevity for Brand A is 16.525 years and the average longevity for Brand B is 17.25 years. To estimate the difference in the average longevity of the two brands, what is the 95% confidence interval? (Note that $\mu_1$ is the mean longevity for Brand A and $\mu_2$ is the mean longevity for Brand B. Also assume the population variances are known where $\sigma_1^2 = 4.4$ and $\sigma_2^2 = 5.2$.) * (-1.866, 0.416) * (-1.685, 0.235) * (-1.558, 0.108) * (-1.986, 0.536) * (-1.531, 0.081) Clear my choice

5. 1 A spherical furnace is losing heat steadily and uniformly from its outer surface of radius R to the ambient air at temperature $T_\infty$. The convection heat transfer coefficient is h. The surroundings of the room have a temperature $T_{surr}$. If $T_0$ denotes the outer surface temperature of the furnace, which of the following is a correct statement of the boundary condition at the surface? a) $-k\frac{dT}{dr}|_{r=R} = h(T_0 - T_\infty) + \epsilon\sigma(T_0^4 - T_{surr}^4)$ b) $-k\frac{dT}{dr}|_{r=R} = h(T_0 - T_\infty) - \epsilon\sigma(T_0^4 - T_{surr}^4)$ c) $k\frac{dT}{dr}|_{r=R} = h(T_0 - T_\infty) + \epsilon\sigma(T_0^4 - T_{surr}^4)$ d) $-k\frac{dT}{dr}|_{r=R} = h(T_0 - T_\infty) - \epsilon\sigma(T_0^4 - T_{surr}^4)$ e) $-kr\frac{dT}{dr}|_{r=R} = h(T_0 - T_\infty) + \epsilon\sigma(T_0^4 - T_{surr}^4)$

Transformers in a power system with a single line diagram in the figure operate at 15MVA power, series reactance X=10%pu and 10Δ/100Y KV voltage levels. The serial reactance value of the transmission line is X= 50Ω. The system feeds a load of 10MVA (8MW +j6MVAr). Find the unit values of the system elements by taking Sbase=10MVA and Vbase=12.5kV and ignoring the internal resistance of the generator. Perform the following steps with any power system analysis program and interpret the results. 1.Set the Generator voltage to 1.07pu. 2. Solve the load flow analysis using the Newton-Raphson method. 3. Triple the line reactance and perform load flow analysis. 4. Perform load flow analysis by changing the reactive power Q between 0.1 pu and 2 pu while keeping the active power P constant. 5. Perform load flow analysis by changing the active power P between 0.1 pu and 2 pu while keeping the reactive power Q constant. 6. Evaluate the drop in the end-of-line voltage by examining the results. 7. Consider methods that can be used to increase the end-of-line voltage (you will compare the line reactance with the value in step 8 when examining the factors below). a) Parallel compensation. (Add parallel C or B by changing the busbar information at the end of the line). b) Tuned transformer. (Change the conversion ratio by changing the information of the T2 transformer). c) Place a second parallel line. d) Apply series compensation on the line (reduce the line reactance). e) Increase the transmission line voltage level. (For this you will need to recalculate the base impedance of the transmission line and the pu value of the line impedance. For transformers, use a conversion ratio of 10/200). 8. Discuss your results and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each method. 9. Draw the phasor diagram for a single value for each set of experiments.

1. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets limits on the concentrations of pollutants emitted by various industries. Suppose that upper allowable limit on the emission of vinyl chloride is set at an average of 55 parts per million (ppm) within a range of two miles around the plant emitting this chemical. To check compliance with this rule, the EPA collects a random sample of 100 different readings within the two-mile range around the plant. The findings are that the sample average concentration is 60 ppm and the sample standard deviation is 20 ppm. Is there evidence to conclude that the plant in question is violating the law? Use $\alpha = 0.01$.
