Answer:

efficiency =42.62%

AMOUNT OF POWER REJECTED IS 20.080 kW

Explanation:

given data:

power 20 hp

heat energy = 35kW

power production = 20 hp = 20* 746 W = 14920 Watt   [1 hp =746 watt]

efficiency = \frac{power}{heat\ required}

efficiency = \frac{14920}{35*10^3}

                = 0.4262*10^100

                 =42.62%

b) heat\ rejected = heat\ required - amount\ of\ power\ generated

                           = 35*10^3 - 14920

                           = 20.080 kW

AMOUNT OF POWER REJECTED IS 20.080 kW

A sum of $500,000 will be invested by a firm two years from now. If money is worth 12%, what will be the worth of this investmen
notka56 [123]

Answer:

investment 10 years from now is $1,238,000 .

Explanation:

given data

sum = $500,000

rate = 12% =0.12

total time = 10 year

solution

as present value After 2 years from now is $500,000

so time period is now = 8 year  ( 10 - 2 )

so we apply future value formula that is

Future value  = present value × (1+r)^{t}   ............1

put here value we get

Future value  = $500,000 × (1+0.12)^{8}  

Future value  = $500,000 × 2.476

Future value  = $1,238,000  

so investment 10 years from now is $1,238,000 .

A gas within a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal process at 400 K during which the change in entropy is 20.3 kJ/K
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

W= 8120 KJ

Explanation:

Given that

Process is isothermal ,it means that temperature of the gas will remain constant.

T₁=T₂ = 400 K

The change in the entropy given ΔS = 20.3 KJ/K

Lets take heat transfer is Q ,then entropy change can be written as

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

Now by putting the values

20.3=\dfrac{Q}{400}

Q= 20.3 x 400 KJ

Q= 8120 KJ

The heat transfer ,Q= 8120 KJ

From first law of thermodynamics

Q = ΔU + W

ΔU =Change in the internal energy ,W=Work

Q=Heat transfer

For ideal gas ΔU  = m Cv ΔT]

At constant temperature process ,ΔT= 0

That is why ΔU  = 0

Q = ΔU + W

Q = 0+ W

Q=W= 8120 KJ

Work ,W= 8120 KJ

The theoretical maximum specific gravity of a mix at 5.0% binder content is 2.495. Using a binder specific gravity of 1.0, find
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content is 2.44.

Explanation:

Given the specific gravity at 5.0 %  binder content 2.495

Therefore

95 % mix + 5 % binder  gives S.G. = 2.495

Where the  binder is S.G. = 1, Therefore

Per 100 mass unit we have (Mx + 5)/(Vx + 5) = 2.495

(95 +5)/(Vx +5) = 2.495

2.495 × (Vx + 5) = 100

Vx =35.08 to 95

Or density of mix = Mx/Vx = 95/35.08 = 2.7081

Therefore when we have 6.5 % binder content, we get

Per 100 mass unit

93.5 Mass unit of Mx has a volume of

Mass/Density = 93.5/2.7081 = 34.526 volume units

Therefore we have

At 6.5 % binder content.

(100 mass unit)/(34.526 + 6.5) = 2.44

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content = 2.44.
