The doping concentrations in a silicon pn junction are nd = 5 times 1015 cm-3 and na = 5 times 1016 cm-3. the minority carrier concentration at either space charge edge is to be no larger than 10 percent of the respective majority carrier concentration. determine the maximum forward-bias voltage that can be applied to the junction and still meet the required specifications. is the n-region or p-region concentration the factor that limits the forward-bias voltage? repeat part (a) if the doping concentrations are nd = 3 times 1016 cm-3 and na = 7 times 1015 cm-3.

What difference(s) did you notice using a pneumatic circuit over hydraulic circuit. explain why the pneumatic piston stumbles when it hits an obstacle.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

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.
