A heat engine operating between energy reservoirs at 20?c and 600?c has 30% of the maximum possible efficiency.

Physics

Anarel [89]3 years ago

 <span>The maximum possible efficiency, i.e the efficiency of a Carnot engine , is give by the ratio of the absolute temperatures of hot and cold reservoir. 
η_max = 1 - (T_c/T_h) 

For this engine: 
η_max = 1 - [ (20 +273)K/(600 + 273)K ] = 0.66 = 66% 

The actual efficiency of the engine is 30%, i.e. 
η = 0.3 ∙ 0.664 = 0.20 = 20 % 

On the other hand thermal efficiency is defined as the ratio of work done to the amount of heat absorbed from hot reservoir: 
η = W/Q_h 

So the heat required from hot reservoir is: 
Q_h = W/η = 1000J / 0.20 = 5000J</span>

Light travels 186 000 miles per second.how many miles dose light travel in one year
Troyanec [42]

       (186,000 mi/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (24 hr/da) x (365 da/yr)

  =   (186,000 x 3,600 x 24 x 365)  mi/yr

  =      5,865,696,000,000  miles per year  (rounded to the nearest million miles)

Using equations, determine the temperature, pressure and density of the air for a aircraft flying at 19.5 km. Is this aircraft s
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

a) - 72.5°c

b) pressure = 3625.13 Pa

c) density =  0.063 kg/m^3

d) it is a subsonic aircraft

Explanation:

a) Determine Temperature

Temperature at 19.5 km ( 19500 m )

T = -131 + ( 0.003 * altitude in meters )

  =  -131 + ( 0.003 * 19500 ) = - 72.5°c

b) Determine pressure and density at 19.5 km altitude

Given :

Po (atmospheric pressure at sea level )  = 101kpa

R ( gas constant of air ) = 0.287 KJ/Kgk

T = -72.5°c ≈ 200.5 k

pressure = 3625.13 Pa

hence density = 0.063 kg/m^3

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

C) determine if the aircraft is subsonic or super sonic

Velocity ( v ) = \sqrt{CRT}  =  \sqrt{1.4*287*200.5 } = 283.8 m/s

hence it is a subsonic aircraft

Two wires each carry 10.0 A of current (in opposite directions) and are 2.50 mm apart. What is the magnetic field 37.0 cm away a
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

see answer below

Explanation:

Before we do any kind of calculation, we need to convert the proper units of the exercise. All the units of distance must be in meters, so, let's change distance of the wire, and the magnetic field to meters:

Separation between the wires are 2.5 mm:

2.5 mm * (1 m / 1000 mm) = 0.0025 m

The distance of P from the bottom of the wires is 37 cm:

37 cm * (1 m/100 cm) = 0.37 m

The distance of P from the top of the wires is just the sum of the two distances:

R = 0.37 + 0.0025 = 0.3725 m

Now that we have the distance, we can determine the magnetic field, using the following expression:

B = B(bottom) - B(top)   or just B₂ - B₁

And B = μ₀ I / 2πR

Replacing in the above expression we have:

B = μ₀ I / 2π ( 1/R₂ - 1/R₁)

Now we can determine the magnetic field:

B = (4πx10⁻⁷ * 10 / 2π) (1/0.37 - 1/0.3725)

<h2>B = 3.63x10⁻⁸ T</h2><h2></h2>

Which means that the magnetic field is out of the page.

Hope this helps

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human
Degger [83]

Answer:

1

  The mass of the Potassium-40 is  m_{40}} = 2.88*10^{-6} kg

2

  The Dose per year in Sieverts is   Dose_s = 26.4 *10^{-10}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The isotopes of potassium in the body are Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium- 41

    Their abundance is 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%

   The mass of potassium contained in human body is  m = 3.0 g = \frac{3}{1000} = 0.0003 \ kg per kg of the body

    The mass of the first body is  m_1 = 80 \ kg

Now the mass of  potassium  in this body is mathematically evaluated as

       m_p =  m * m_1

substituting value

       m_p =  80  * 0.0003

      m_p  =0.024 kg

The amount of Potassium-40 present  is mathematically evaluated as

      m_{40}} =0.012% * 0.024

      m_{40}} = \frac{0.012}{100}  * 0.024

      m_{40}} = 2.88*10^{-6} kg

The dose of energy absorbed per year is mathematically represented as

          Dose  = \frac{E}{m_1}

Where E is the energy absorbed which is given as E = 1.10 MeV = 1.10 * 10^6 * 1.602*10^{-19}

    Substituting value

            Dose  = \frac{ 1.10 * 10^6 * 1.602*10^{-19}}{80}

            Dose  = 22*10^{-10} J/kg

The Dose in Sieverts is evaluated as

       Dose_s = REB * Dose

       Dose_s = 1.2 * 22*10^{-10}

       Dose_s = 26.4 *10^{-10}
