Unijunction Sawtooth Generator


Unijunction Sawtooth Generator


When the 20 volts is applied across B2 and B1, the n-type bar acts as a voltage- divider. A voltage of 12.8
volts appears at a point near the emitter. At the first instant, C1 has no voltage across it, so the output of the circuit, which is taken across the capacitor (C1), is equal to 0 volts. (The voltage across C1 is also the voltage that is applied to the emitter of the unijunction.)



The unijunction is now reverse biased. After T0, C1 begins to charge toward 20 volts.At T1, the voltage across the capacitor (the voltage on the emitter) has reached approximately 12.8 volts. This is the peak point for the unijunction, and it now becomes forward biased.


With the emitter forward biased, the impedance between the emitter and B1 is just a few ohms. This is similar to placing a short across the capacitor. The capacitor discharges very rapidly through the low resistance of
B1 to E.
                 

As C1 discharges, the voltage from the emitter to B1 also decreases. Q1 will continue to be forward biased as long as the voltage across C1 is larger than the valley point of the unijunction. At T2 the 3-volt valley point of the unijunction has been reached. The emitter now becomes reverse biased and the impedance from the emitter to B1 returns to a high value. Immediately after T2, Q1 is reverse biased and the capacitor has a charge of approximately
3 volts. C1 now starts to charge toward 20 volts as it did originally.
 
The circuit operation from now on is just a continuous repetition of the actions between T2 and T4.The capacitor charges until the emitter becomes forward biased, the unijunction conducts and C1discharges, and Q1 becomes reverse biased and C1 again starts charging.


Now, let's determine the linearity, electrical length, and amplitude of the output waveform. First, the
linearity: To charge the circuit to the full 20 volts will take 5 time constants. In the circuit shown in fig, view (B), C1 is allowed to charge from T2 to T3. To find the percentage of charge, use the equation:
      
This works out to be about 57 percent and is far beyond the 10 percent required for a linear sweep voltage.

the sources of all aerodynamic forces

THE SOURCE OF ALL AERODYNAMIC FORCES A knowledge of four basic aerodynamics quantities (P, 𝞺,T and v ) at each point of the flow fully defines the flow field  The air flow over the surface of any body in the flow creates anaerodynamic force on the body the aerodynamic forces by the airflow on the surface of an airplane,missile,.....etc stems from only two natural sources                                         1. pressure distribution on the surface                                         2. shear stress distribution on the surface pressure exerted by the gas on the solid surface of the object always acts normal to the surface the net unbalance of the varying pressure distribution over the surface of airplane creates an aerodynamic force which is known as lift the s...

BUCKINGHAM'S PI THEOREM

BUCKINGHAM'S PI THEOREM  The  Buckingham  π  theorem  is a key  theorem  in  dimensional analysis . Buckingham ' s Pi theorem states that:    If there are n variables in a problem and these variables contain m primary dimensions (for example M, L, T) the equation relating all the variables will have (n-m) dimensionless groups.   Buckingham referred to these groups as π groups.   The final equation obtained is in the form of :                                                               π l = f(π 2 , π 3 ,….. π n-m )   The π groups must be independent of each other and no one group should be formed by multiplying together powers of other groups.   This method offers the advantage of being ...
