400 BTU of wasted heat energy is present in the form of electricity.

<h3><u>Energy sources and usage</u></h3>
  • Potential energy sources include fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. Other energy sources include hydro, solar, and wind.
  • Additionally, nuclear energy may also come from radioactive materials.But energy will constantly lose its strength.
  • Industries would never be able to derive a full amount of energy from their sources.We can only obtain 60% of the energy in ideal situations, such as the Carnot engine. This is if the case is ideal. Actually, we receive considerably less than this for roughly 40%.

So, when efficiency is 60%, energy is used 60% of the time and lost 40% of the time. Thus, according to question, the energy that is wasted is:

1000 BTUx (40/100) = 400 BTU

A nitric acid solution flows at a constant rate of 5L/min into a large tank that initially held 200L of a 0.5% nitric acid solut
leonid [27]

Answer:

x(t) = −39e

−0.03t + 40.

Explanation:

Let V (t) be the volume of solution (water and

nitric acid) measured in liters after t minutes. Let x(t) be the volume of nitric acid

measured in liters after t minutes, and let c(t) be the concentration (by volume) of

nitric acid in solution after t minutes.

The volume of solution V (t) doesn’t change over time since the inflow and outflow

of solution is equal. Thus V = 200 L. The concentration of nitric acid c(t) is

c(t) = x(t)

V (t)

=

x(t)

200

.

We model this problem as

dx

dt = I(t) − O(t),

where I(t) is the input rate of nitric acid and O(t) is the output rate of nitric acid,

both measured in liters of nitric acid per minute. The input rate is

I(t) = 6 Lsol.

1 min

·

20 Lnit.

100 Lsol.

=

120 Lnit.

100 min

= 1.2 Lnit./min.

The output rate is

O(t) = (6 Lsol./min)c(t) = 6 Lsol.

1 min

·

x(t) Lnit.

200 Lsol.

=

3x(t) Lnit.

100 min

= 0.03 x(t) Lnit./min.

The equation is then

dx

dt = 1.2 − 0.03x,

or

dx

dt + 0.03x = 1.2, (1)

which is a linear equation. The initial condition condition is found in the following

way:

c(0) = 0.5% = 5 Lnit.

1000 Lsol.

=

x(0) Lnit.

200 Lsol.

.

Thus x(0) = 1.

In Eq. (1) we let P(t) = 0.03 and Q(t) = 1.2. The integrating factor for Eq. (1) is

µ(t) = exp Z

P(t) dt

= exp

0.03 Z

dt

= e

0.03t

.

The solution is

x(t) = 1

µ(t)

Z

µ(t)Q(t) dt + C

= Ce−0.03t + 1.2e

−0.03t

dt

= Ce−0.03t +

1.2

0.03

e

−0.03t

e

0.03t

= Ce−0.03t +

1.2

0.03

= Ce−0.03t + 40.

The constant is found using x(t) = 1:

x(0) = Ce−0.03(0) + 40 = C + 40 = 1.

Thus C = −39, and the solution is

x(t) = −39e

−0.03t + 40.

How do you find the volume of a liquid
mart [117]
Today they will practice measuring different liquids. They will use a container called a graduated cylinder to measure liquids. Graduated cylinders have numbers on the side that help you determine the volume. Volume is measured in units called liters or fractions of liters called milliliters (ml).

What is the process for extracting oils
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Oil is extracted by three general methods: rendering, used with animal products and oleaginous fruits; mechanical pressing, for oil-bearing seeds and nuts; and extracting with volatile solvents, employed in large-scale operations for a more complete extraction than is possible with pressing.

Which type of bonding is characterized by overlapping orbitals that allow outer electrons of atoms to move about freely througho
Sonja [21]

Answer:

D metallic

Explanation:

The chemical bonding which rises from electrostatic attractive force between the conduction electrons and the positively charged metal ions is called metallic bonding.

<u>It is sharing of the free electrons among the structure of the positively charged ions which are known as cations. </u>

<u>In this type of bonding, these free electrons freely move in the crystal mattice of the metal.  </u>

The bonding accounts for properties of metals, such as ductility, strength,  electrical and thermal conductivity and resistivity and luster.
