An engineer has to design a circuit wired in parallel that uses 4 components with the following internal resistances, branch 1 180Ω, branch 2 470Ω, branch 3 680Ω, and branch 680Ω. In order for the circuit to function properly it needs a total current between .046 and .050 Amps. Analyze the circuit and determine the proper power supply voltage range to ensure that the circuit works.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
