The speed of a transistor is directly proportional to the width of its polysilicon gate; thus, a narrower gate results in a faster transistor and a wider gate in a slower transistor. Knowing that the manufacturing process has a certain variation for the gate width, how would a designer modify the gate size of a critical circuit in order to minimize its variation in speed

Acompressor receives the shaft work to decrease the pressure of the fluid. a)- true b)- false

Water at 70°f and streams enter the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the exiting stream. 0 psia is heated in a chamber by mixing it with saturated water vapor at 20 psia. if both streams enters the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the existing system.

For the closed feedwater heater below, feedwater enters state 3 at a pressure of 2000 psia and temperature of 420 °f at a rate of ix10 ibhr. the feedwat extracted steam enters state 1 at a pressure of 1000 psia and enthalpy of 1500 btu/lbm. the extracted er leaves at an enthalpy of 528.7 btu/lbm steam leaves as a saturated liquid. (16) a) determine the mass flow rate of the extraction steam used to heat the feedwater (10) b) determine the terminal temperature difference of the closed feedwater heater
