Answer:

The percentage power lost in the transmission line if the voltage not stepped up is 50%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current = 60 A

Voltage = 120 V

Resistance = 1.0 ohm

We need to calculate the power

Using formula of power

$P=I\times V$

Where,I =current

V = voltage

Put the value into the formula

$P=60\times120$

$P=7200\ W$

We need to calculate the percentage power lost in the transmission line

If the voltage is not stepped up

Then, the power loss

$P'=I^2\times R$

Put the value into the formula

$P'=(60)^2\times1$

$P'=3600\ W$

The percentage power loss P''

$P''=\dfrac{P'}{P}\times100=\dfrac{3600}{7200}\times100$

$P''=50\%$

Hence, The percentage power lost in the transmission line if the voltage not stepped up is 50%.

Why does the frequency of a wave increase as the wavelength decreases

olchik [2.2K]

Explanation:

We know that the number of complete waves formed in 1 sec time is frequency and the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs is wavelength. And we have the formula that

Velocity = wavelength * frequency

or, frequency = velocity / wavelength

Here we can see frequency is directly proportional to velocity and indirectly proportional to wavelength.

So as the wavelength increases frequency decreases and as the wavelength decreases frequency increases.

When an oxygen atom forms an ion, it gains two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the oxygen ion?

Mashutka [201]

-2. This is because it is gaining electrons. Electrons are negative. Therefore it is a negative charge.

. A person weighing 750 N gets on an elevator.

Kobotan [32]

F = 750 N (Force)

d = 10 m (displacement )

t = 25 s (time)

L = ? (Mechanical work ) = (Energy)

P = ? (Power)

Solve:

L = F × d = 750 × 10 = 7500 Joules

P = L / t = 7500 / 25 = 300 Watts

A counterflow double-pipe heat exchanger is used to heat water from 20°C to 80°C at a rate of 1.2 kg/s. The heating is to be com

bixtya [17]

Answer:L=109.16 m

Explanation:

Given

initial temperature $=20^{\circ}C$

Final Temperature $=80^{\circ}C$

mass flow rate of cold fluid $\dot{m_c}=1.2 kg/s$

Initial Geothermal water temperature $T_h_i=160^{\circ}C$

Let final Temperature be T

mass flow rate of geothermal water $\dot{m_h}=2 kg/s$

diameter of inner wall $d_i=1.5 cm$

$U_{overall}=640 W/m^2K$

specific heat of water $c=4.18 kJ/kg-K$

balancing energy

Heat lost by hot fluid=heat gained by cold Fluid

$\dot{m_c}c(T_h_i-T_h_e)= \dot{m_h}c(80-20)$

$2\times (160-T)=1.2\times (80-20)$

$160-T=36$

$T=124^{\circ}C$

As heat exchanger is counter flow therefore

$\Delta T_1=160-80=80^{\circ}C$

$\Delta T_2=124-20=104^{\circ}C$

$LMTD=\frac{\Delta T_1-\Delta T_2}{\ln (\frac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2})}$

$LMTD=\frac{80-104}{\ln \frac{80}{104}}$

$LMTD=91.49^{\circ}C$

heat lost or gain by Fluid is equal to heat transfer in the heat exchanger

$\dot{m_c}c(80-20)=U\cdot A\cdot$ (LMTD)

$A=\frac{1.2\times 4.184\times 1000\times 60}{640\times 91.49}=5.144 m^2$

$A=\pi DL=5.144$

$L=\frac{5.144}{\pi \times 0.015}$

$L=109.16 m$
