(a)Diode circuits (i)identify different types of diode and their uses

(ii)construct a schematic diagram and simulate the operation of a diode as a half-wave rectifier

(iii)develop the circuit schematic and simulation to a full-wave rectifier with capacitor smoothing and Zener diode voltage regulation. [Give leaners different specifications e. g. 5.1V, 8.2V to minimise plagiarism].

(iv)build a prototype of your final circuit

(v)record the output voltage

(vi)estimate the voltage ripple for different loads

(vii)compare the results from theory, simulation and measurement

What precautions should you take to prevent injuries when dealing with heavy loads?

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
