It is not possible to answer the question with any specificity because of a lack of info, but perhaps the following will get you on the right track. Electric motors -- on pool filters, vacuum cleaners, drills, saws, whatever -- can be rated in either amps (A) or horsepower (hp) or watts (W). While horsepower and watts are units of power, an amp is not. But if you know the voltage, you can calculate the power in watts, since watts are just amps times volts. If a motor is energized by 18 volts and draws 1.5 A, it's power consumption is 27 W (18 x 1.5). To convert watts to hp, just remember that one hp equals 746 watts. So if your corded saw is rated at, say, 0.25 hp, that's the equivalent of 186 W. Dividing that by 18 volts yields 10.36 A. DAMN, that's a lotta current!

What should the low pressure be on a hvac system?

The pressure should be equal to a saturated suction temperature of around 40*F. The pressure would differ depending on which refrigerant is used.


What is difference between single double and circular buffer?

single buffer : you read and write on the same buffer, can be messy if both reading and writing take place at the same time.double buffer : you read one buffer and you write the other one. When both reading and writing are complete, the buffers are swapped. It solves the problem of simultaneous reading and writing but requires synchronization.circular buffer : this a buffer with two pointer : read and write. If both pointers are equal, the buffer is empty.For each write operation, the write pointer advances and each time data is read back, the read pointer advances. It is circular because when a pointer reaches the end, it wraps back to the beginning.It may be used to implement a queue which allows simultaneous reading and writing without synchronization as long as the buffer is not full.A double buffer is basically a circular buffer of size 2 and a single buffer is basically a circular buffer of size 1.


State sampling theorem?

sampling theorem is defined as , the sampling frequency should be greater than or equal to 2*maximum frequency, and the frequency should be bounded.. i,e fs=2*fmax where fs= sampling frequency


Define non uniform motion?

Think of uniform as everything moving together. For example, in uniform circular motion describes the motion of a body traversing a circular path at constant speed. The distance of the body from the axis of rotation remains constant at all times. If the motion was non-uniform the distance of the body from the axis of rotation would vary.

No, centrifugal force is fictitious force, peculiar to circular motion, that is equal but opposite to the centripetal force that keeps a particle on a circular path.
