We can solve for the power dissipated by the oven on the given values of voltage which is 120 volts and current which is equal to 12.5 amperes.
The formula for Power dissipated is P=V*I where "v" for the voltage and "i" for the current.
P=120*12.5
P=1500 watts
The answer is 1500 watts.

An ideal Diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 18 and a cutoff ratio of 1.5. Determine the (1) maximum air temperature and (2)

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

(1) The maximum air temperature is 1383.002 K

(2) The rate of heat addition is 215.5 kW

Explanation:

T₁ = 17 + 273.15 = 290.15

$\frac{T_2}{T_1} =r_v^{k - 1} =18^{0.4} =3.17767$

T₂ = 290.15 × 3.17767 = 922.00139

$\frac{T_3}{T_2} =\frac{v_3}{v_2} = r_c = 1.5$

Therefore,

T₃ = T₂×1.5 = 922.00139 × 1.5 = 1383.002 K

The maximum air temperature = T₃ = 1383.002 K

(2)

$\frac{v_4}{v_3} =\frac{v_4}{v_2} \times \frac{v_2}{v_3} = \frac{v_1}{v_2} \times \frac{v_2}{v_3} = 18 \times \frac{1}{1.5} = 12$

$\frac{T_3}{T_4} =(\frac{v_4}{v_3} )^{k-1} = 12^{0.4} = 2.702$

Therefore;

$T_4 = \frac{1383.002}{2.702} =511.859 \ k$

$Q_1 = c_p(T_3-T_2)$

Q₁ = 1.005(1383.002 - 922.00139) = 463.306 kJ/jg

Heat rejected per kilogram is given by the following relation;

$c_v(T_4-T_1)$ = 0.718×(511.859 - 290.15) = 159.187 kJ/kg

The efficiency is given by the following relation;

$\eta = 1-\frac{\beta ^{k}-1}{\left (\beta -1 \right )r_{v}^{k-1}}$

Where:

β = Cut off ratio

Plugging in the values, we get;

$\eta = 1-\frac{1.5 ^{1.4}-1}{\left (1.5 -1 \right )18^{1.4-1}}= 0.5191$

Therefore;

$\eta = \frac{\sum Q}{Q_1}$

$\therefore 0.5191 = \frac{150}{Q_1}$

Heat supplied = $\frac{150}{0.5191} = 288.978 \ hp$

Therefore, heat supplied = 215491.064 W

Heat supplied ≈ 215.5 kW

The rate of heat addition = 215.5 kW.

Why do smaller endotherms require more energy per unit of mass than larger endotherms?

Naily [24]

They expend more oxygen. Littler endotherms lose warmth to the earth proportionately speedier than huge endotherms: less warm mass, protecting layers in littler creatures are less successful by dint of being more slender, and more prominent surface region to volume proportion implies snappier radiation of warmth

In an inkjet printer, letters and images are created by squirting drops of ink horizontally at a sheet of paper from a rapidly m

Serga [27]

Answer:

$q = 6.48 \times 10^{-14} C$

Explanation:

Deflection in the drop is due to electric field force

so we will have

$F = qE$

acceleration of the drop is given as

$a = \frac{qE}{m}$

$a = \frac{q(7.75 \times 10^4)}{1.00 \times 10^{-11}}$

$a = 7.75 \times 10^{15} q$

now we know that time to cross the plates is given as

$t = \frac{D}{v}$

$t = \frac{0.02}{18}$

$t = 1.11 \times 10^{-3} s$

now the deflection is given as

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$0.310 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{1}{2}(7.75 \times 10^{15} q)(1.11 \times 10^{-3})^2$

$0.310 \times 10^{-3} = 4.78 \times 10^9 q$

$q = 6.48 \times 10^{-14} C$

What force is required to accelerate a body with a mass of 15 kilograms at a rate of 8 m/s²?

mihalych1998 [28]

Newton's Second law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force = (15kg) x (8m/s²) = 120 kg-m/s² = 120 newtons
