Two Carnot engines operate in series such that the heat rejected from one is the heat input to the other. The heat transfer from

the high-temperature reservoir is 500 kJ. The overall temperature limits are 1000K and 400K. Both engines produce equal work. What is most nearly the intermediate temperature between the two engines?

Answer:

Given:

high temperature reservoir T_{H} =1000k

low temperature reservoir T_{L} =400k

thermal efficiency n_{1}= n_{2}

The engines are said to  operate on Carnot cycle which is totally reversible.

To find the intermediate temperature between the two engines, The thermal efficiency of the first heat engine can be defined as

n_{1} =1-\frac{T}{T_{H} }

The thermal efficiency of second heat engine can be written as

n_{2} =1-\frac{T_{L} }{T}

The temperature of intermediate reservoir can be defined as  

1-\frac{T}{T_{H} } =1-\frac{T_{L} }{T} \\T^2=T_{L} T_{H} \\T=\sqrt{T_{L} T_{H} }\\T=\sqrt{400*1000} =632k

What term specifically describes small chunks of rocks and debris in space that burn up in Earth’s atmosphere?
inessss [21]

Term specifically describes small chunks of rocks and debris in space that burn up in Earth’s atmosphere is :

Meteors

Explanation:

  • A meteor is a meteoroid or a particle broken off an asteroid or comet orbiting the Sun – that burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere, creating the effect of a "shooting star".
  • Meteoroids that reach the Earth's surface without disintegrating are called meteorites.
  • Due to Earth's escape velocity, the minimum impact velocity is 11 km/s with asteroid impacts averaging around 17 km/s on the Earth. The most probable impact angle is 45 degrees.
  • Meteoroids have a pretty big size range. They include any space debris bigger than a molecule and smaller than about 330 feet space debris bigger than this is considered an asteroid.
  • But most of the debris the Earth comes in contact with is "dust" shed by comets traveling through the solar system.
  • The surface of a meteorite is generally very smooth and featureless, but often has shallow depressions and deep cavities resembling clearly visible thumbprints
  • Most iron meteorites, like the example at right, have well-developed regmaglypts all over their surface.

Which is the best description of power? A. the amount of kinetic energy lost during motion
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

D. a measure of how fast a machine performs work​

Explanation:

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

Hence, the best description of power is that, it is a measure of how fast a machine performs work.

This can be calculated by using the mathematical expression below;

Power = \frac {Work done}{Time}

But we know that, Workdone = force * distance

WHAT IS MEANT BY BJT AND FUNCTION OF BJT
Andrej [43]

Answer:

A Bipolar Junction Transistor, or BJT, is a solid-state device in which the current flow between two terminals (the collector and the emitter) is controlled by the amount of current that flows through a third terminal (the base).

The main basic function of a BJT is to amplify current it will allow BJTs are used as amplifiers or switches to produce wide applicability in electronic equipment include mobile phones, industrial control, television, and radio transmitters. There are two different types of BJTs are available, they are NPN and PNP.
