The ozone layer that is inside the stratosphere blocks UV radiation.

The ozone layer contains high concentrations of ozone relative to other parts of the atmosphere. This was discovered by Charles Fabry and Henri Buisson who are both French Physicists.

The ozone in the earth's stratosphere is created through ultraviolet light striking a group of ordinary oxygen molecules containing two oxygen atoms, subsequently splitting them into individual oxygen atoms and finally these said atomic oxygen then combines with unbroken O2 to create ozone (O3).

Answer:

Ozone Layer

Explanation:

The atmosphere of Earth is composed of 21% of Oxygen. Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer which is present inside the stratosphere. Actually, the UV-radiation is used to break the oxygen molecule. The free oxygen atom then joins with another oxygen molecule and forms ozone (O₃). The ozone-oxygen cycle converts harmful UV -radiation into heat.

Which satellite has the greatest gravitational force with Earth?

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Satellite D has a mass (kg) of 500 and the distance from Earth (km) is 320.

Explanation:

The universal law of gravitation states that the force between two objects in the universe is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

We have to choose the satellite having greatest gravitational force with earth. In all options the distance from the earth is same i.e. 320 km. So, we have to select the satellite having maximum mass because the mass of the earth is constant.

Hence, the correct option is (D) " Satellite D has a mass (kg) of 500 and the distance from Earth (km) is 320 ".

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine steadily at 7 MPa, 5008C, and 45 m/s, and leaves at 100 kPa and 75 m/s. If the power output of

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

a) $\dot m = 6.878\,\frac{kg}{s}$ , b) $T = 104.3^{\textdegree}C$ , c) $\dot S_{gen} = 11.8\,\frac{kW}{K}$

Explanation:

a) The turbine is modelled by means of the First Principle of Thermodynamics. Changes in kinetic and potential energy are negligible.

$-\dot W_{out} + \dot m \cdot (h_{in}-h_{out}) = 0$

The mass flow rate is:

$\dot m = \frac{\dot W_{out}}{h_{in}-h_{out}}$

According to property water tables, specific enthalpies and entropies are:

State 1 - Superheated steam

$P = 7000\,kPa$

$T = 500^{\textdegree}C$

$h = 3411.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 6.8000\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

State 2s - Liquid-Vapor Mixture

$P = 100\,kPa$

$h = 2467.32\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 6.8000\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

$x = 0.908$

The isentropic efficiency is given by the following expression:

$\eta_{s} = \frac{h_{1}-h_{2}}{h_{1}-h_{2s}}$

The real specific enthalpy at outlet is:

$h_{2} = h_{1} - \eta_{s}\cdot (h_{1}-h_{2s})$

$h_{2} = 3411.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 0.77\cdot (3411.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 2467.32\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )$

$h_{2} = 2684.46\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

State 2 - Superheated Vapor

$P = 100\,kPa$

$T = 104.3^{\textdegree}C$

$h = 2684.46\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 7.3829\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

The mass flow rate is:

$\dot m = \frac{5000\,kW}{3411.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg} -2684.46\,\frac{kJ}{kg}}$

$\dot m = 6.878\,\frac{kg}{s}$

b) The temperature at the turbine exit is:

$T = 104.3^{\textdegree}C$

c) The rate of entropy generation is determined by means of the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

$\dot m \cdot (s_{in}-s_{out}) + \dot S_{gen} = 0$

$\dot S_{gen}=\dot m \cdot (s_{out}-s_{in})$

$\dot S_{gen} = (6.878\,\frac{kg}{s})\cdot (7.3829\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} - 6.8000\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} )$

$\dot S_{gen} = 11.8\,\frac{kW}{K}$

denpristay [2]

Let:
Vx = the pulling component of force
Vy = the lifting component of force

Vy:
Sin(n°) = Vy/hypotenuse
hypotenuse * Sin(n°) = Vy
100N*sin(30°) = Vy
50N = Vy

Vx:
Cos(n°) = Vx/hypotenuse
Hypotenuse * cos(n°) = Vx
100N*cos(30°) =Vx
about 86.6N = Vx
