Nikitich [7]3 years ago
4 0

When You Look Up This Question

This Is What You Get

<u>"</u>The Water Table<u> is the upper surface of the zone of saturation. ..."</u>

But thats incorrect

That Rules Out B

Now My Answer Choices Are Slightly Different.

A. The Boundary Line Between The Zone Of Saturation And The Zone Of Aeration

B. The Boundary Between Layers Of Permeable And Impermeable Rock

C. The Upper Limit Of The Zone Of Aeration

D. Both A And C

<h2>Process Of Elimination</h2>

We Know That A Is Incorrect. (B For Your Choices Above)

So We Can Rule Out @ Wrong Answers Just Right There.

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}A&INCORRECT\\B\\C\\D&INCORRECT\end{array}\right]

That Leaves Us 2 Choices Left

B. The Boundary Between Layers Of Permeable And Impermeable Rock

C. The Upper Limit Of The Zone Of Aeration

Looking Up <u>"Zone Of Aeration"</u> You'll Find

<u>"That it is the region between the earth's surface and the water table. The main components of this region are the soil and rocks. ... "</u>

So For Your Answer Choices You Have

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}A&INCORRECT\\B&INCORRECT\\C\\D\end{array}\right]

Leaving You 2 Choices Left

B. lower boundary of the zone of saturation.

D. aquifer

Looking Up <u>"Permeable And Impermeable Rock"</u> You'll Find

<u>"Permeable surfaces allow water to percolate into the soil to filter out pollutants and recharge the water table. ..."</u>

<u>"Impermeable surfaces are solid surfaces that don't allow water to penetrate, forcing it to run off. ..."</u>

Actually Now Thinking About It Aquifer Is Part Of These Definitions.

<em>You See A Body Of Permeable Rock Which Can Contain Or Transmit Ground Water Is Called,</em> <u>"Aquifer. ..."</u>

We Have That In-Common But With Different Answer Choices?

So My B Is Like Your D.

The Others Are In-Conclusive

So Out Of Your Answers Choices It's

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}A\\B\\C\\D&AQUIFER&CORRECT\end{array}\right]

And For My Answer Choices It's

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}A\\B&CORRECT\\C\\D\end{array}\right] Permeable /And/Impermeable Rock

A heat engine accepts 200,000 Btu of heat from a source at 1500 R and rejects 100,000 Btu of heat to a sink at 600 R. Calculate
diamong [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy through the heat transferred and the work done, as well as through the calculation of entropy due to heat and temperatra.

By definition we know that the change in entropy is given by

\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}

Where,

Q = Heat transfer

T = Temperature

On the other hand we know that by conserving energy the work done in a system is equal to the change in heat transferred, that is

W = Q_{source}-Q_{sink}

According to the data given we have to,

Q_{source} = 200000Btu

T_{source} = 1500R

Q_{sink} = 100000Btu

T_{sink} = 600R

PART A) The total change in entropy, would be given by the changes that exist in the source and sink, that is

\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{Q_{sink}}{T_{sink}}

\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{100000}{600}

\Delta S_{sink} = 166.67Btu/R

On the other hand,

\Delta S_{source} = \frac{Q_{source}}{T_{source}}

\Delta S_{source} = \frac{-200000}{1500}

\Delta S_{source} = -133.33Btu/R

The total change of entropy would be,

S = \Delta S_{source}+\Delta S_{sink}

S = -133.33+166.67

S = 33.34Btu/R

Since S\neq   0 the heat engine is not reversible.

PART B)

Work done by heat engine is given by

W=Q_{source}-Q_{sink}

W = 200000-100000

W = 100000 Btu

Therefore the work in the system is 100000Btu
