A power company desires to use groundwater from a hot spring to power a heat engine. If the groundwater is at 95 deg C and the a

tmosphere is at 20 deg C, what is the maximum power output for a mass flow of 0.2 kg/s? Assume the water is cooled to atmospheric temperature.

Answer:

W  = 12.8 KW

Explanation:

given data:

mass flow rate = 0.2 kg/s

Engine recieve heat from ground water at 95 degree ( 368 K)  and reject that heat to atmosphere  at 20 degree (293K)

we know that maximum possible efficiency is given as

\eta = 1- \frac{T_L}{T_H}

\eta = 1 - \frac{ 293}{368}

\eta = 0.2038

rate of heat transfer is given as

Q_H = \dot m C_p \Delta T

Q_H = 0.2 * 4.18 8(95 - 20)

Q_H = 62.7 kW

Maximuim power is given as

W = \eta Q_H

W = 0.2038 * 62.7

W  = 12.8 KW

The pressure of a gas in a rigid container is 125kpa at 300k, what we be the new pressure if the temperature increases to 900k​
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

375 KPa

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial pressure (P₁) = 125 KPa

Initial temperature (T₁) = 300 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 900 K

Final pressure (P₂) =?

The new (i.e final) pressure of the gas can be obtained as follow:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

125 / 300 = P₂ / 900

Cross multiply

300 × P₂ = 125 × 900

300 × P₂ = 112500

Divide both side by 300

P₂ = 112500 / 300

P₂ = 375 KPa

Thus, the new pressure of the gas is 375 KPa

List two things that technological systems have in common.​
Sphinxa [80]

They all share the way that they are fundamentally designed: if they are quite complex, they will share the same basic logic foundations, like the way that the programming languages work. They also all share the method of construction and common and fundamental electronic components, like resistors, capacitors and transistors. As we humans design them, they make logical sense to at least someone, and probably only discounting the internet, you can probably draw logic diagrams and whatever to represent how they work.

Because they are designed by Humans, in a way they all mimic how our brains and society work. Also, as yet there are no truly intelligent technological systems, and are only able to react to a situation how they have been programmed to do so.

What are the optical properties of steel
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

A selective surface with large absorption for solar radiation and high reflectance for thermal infrared radiation was produced by use of surface oxidation of stainless steel. The surfaces were studied for use with concentrated light in a solar power plant at temperatures of 400°C and higher.

In order to investigate the relation between surface treatment and optical properties, stainless steels (AISI 304 and 430) which were submitted to different chemical and mechanical surface treatments, were used. To increase the spectral selectivity, these surfaces were treated in air and in vacuum at different temperatures and times. The optical properties of these films were investigated. Visual and infrared spectral absorptances were measured at room temperature. The thermal hemispherical emittance and absorptance were obtained by a calorimetric method at 200°C. It was noticed that these chemically and mechanically treated stainless steel surfaces have good spectral properties without further oxidations. This is very important for high temperature uses. The best values are found for samples 7 and 8 under vacuum and air. These two samples with mechanically ground surfaces retained their selectivity and specularity after several hours oxidation. One can conclude that the surface ground treatment confers good selectivity on the steel surfaces for use in concentrating solar collectors with a working temperature of 500°C.

Sample surfaces were subjected to long temperature ageing tests in order to gain some idea of the thermal stability of the surfaces. The results promise better-performing surface and the production of durable selective finishes at, possibly, lower cost than competing processes.

Match the types of AI to the correct automation tasks.
Maru [420]

Answer:

Theory of Mind : A robotic head has a face that recognizes and simulates emotions.

Self aware : A robot tries to protect itself from harm

Purely Reactive : A door automatically opens when a person steps in front of it.

Limited Memory : A personal assistant software tracks a persons travel routes and suggests shorter routes.

Explanation:

Artificial intelligence is simply a technology which enables automation. It enables system perform task without being explicitly controlled. Purely reactive systems do not store Data in memory, it simply observes what going on at the moment which is what it was programmed to do and takes a step. One the machine detects someone approaching up to a certain distance, it opens.

Limited Memory systems store information about the past and this enhances its Decison making, prediction engines, self driving cars use this kind of artificial intelligence.

Theory of Mind : Here, systems are trained to detect, understand and replicate what is understood. Once the robot identifies an emotion, it replicates it.

Self - Aware : An advanced level of AI, where systems will not only be able to replicate what they see, but also make conscious decisions as to which action to take in different circumstances.
