The correct answer to the question is D). Kinetic to electrical.

EXPLANATION:

Hydro electric power plants are the electricity generation plants which capture the energy of falling water to produce current.

The water present at the top of a dam has potential energy. When the water is allowed to fall from certain height, the potential energy of the water is converted into kinetic energy.

The falling water moving with high speed is allowed to fall on a turbine. The kinetic energy of the water will rotate the turbine. The turbine is attached to a generator which will produce electricity due to the electromagnetic induction.

Hence, we see that the kinetic energy of the water is converted into electric energy.

Assume you need to design a hydronic system that can deliver 80,000 Btu/hr. What flow rate of water is required if the temperatu
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

At 10°F change in temperature

Mass flowrate = 1.01 kg/s = 2.227 lbm/s

Volumetric flowrate = 1010 m³/s = 35667.8 ft³/s

At 20°F change in temperature

Mass flowrate = 0.505 kg/s = 1.113 lbm/s

Volumetric flowrate = 505 m³/s = 17833.9 ft³/s

Explanation:

80000 btu/hr = 23445.7 W

P = ṁc(ΔT)

ṁ = MASS flowrate

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4182 J/kg.K,

ΔT = change in temperature = 10°F

To convert, a change of 18°F is equal to a change of 10°C

A change of 10°F = 10×10/18 = 5.556°C = 5.556K

P = ṁc(ΔT)

23445.7 = ṁ(4182 × 5.556)

ṁ = 23445.7/(4182 × 5.556)

ṁ = 1.01 kg/s = 2.227 lbm/s

In volumetric flow rate, Q = density × mass flowrate = 1000 × 1.01 = 1010 m³/s = 35667.8 ft³/s

For a change of 20°F,

ΔT = change in temperature = 20°F

To convert, a change of 18°F is equal to a change of 10°C

A change of 20°F = 20×10/18 = 11.1111°C = 11.111K

P = ṁc(ΔT)

23445.7 = ṁ(4182 × 11.111)

ṁ = 23445.7/(4182 × 11.111)

ṁ = 0.505 kg/s = 1.113 lbm/s

In volumetric flow rate, Q = density × mass flowrate = 1000 × 0.505 = 505 m³/s = 17833.9 ft³/s

Hope this Helps!!!

EARTH SCIENCE PLEASE ANSWER
Rzqust [24]

The Earth Science answers are shown below.

Explanation:

1. The movement of the sun will change the angle it has on the sky in 30 minutes, it is always moving from the east to the west, so in 30 minutes it would move more west, no matter at what time you make the experiment. From Earth, the Sun looks like it moves across the sky in the daytime and appears to disappear at night. This is because the Earth is spinning towards the east. The Earth spins about its axis, an imaginary line that runs through the middle of the Earth between the North and South poles

2. No, both marks are the same distance from the ground.  the amount of stick above the mark will not affect the distance that the shadow of the mark moves at all. The Sun's clockwise motion is an apparent motion caused by the rotation of the Earth. The counterclockwise rotation of the Earth in the Sun's light causes the shadow of the gnomon to move clockwise. As the Sun appears to move higher above the horizon before solar noon, the shadow grows shorter and shorter.

3. In the summer the shadows are shorter, and in the winter the shadows are longer. In the morning your shadow will point west and in the afternoon it will point east. If your shadow is long, it is near sunrise or sunset. Your shadow is shortest around noon.

4. If the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, then the Earth should rotate in the opposite direction from west to east (anti-clockwise). Earth's spin (or rotation) on its axis. Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.
