A coal-burning power plant generates electrical power at a rate of 650 megawatts (MW), or 6.50 × 108 J/s. The plant has an overa

ll efficiency of 38% for the conversion of heat to electricity. Given this efficiency, how much heat energy in joules is produced in one year of operation??

Answer:

Energy produce in one year =20.49 x 10¹⁶ J/year

Explanation:

Given that

Plant produce 6.50 × 10⁸ J/s of energy.

It produce  6.50 × 10⁸ J in 1 s.

We know that

1 year = 365 days

1 days = 24 hr

1 hr = 3600 s

1 year = 365 x 24 x 3600 s

1 year = 31536000 s

So energy produce in 1 year = 31536000 x  6.50 × 10⁸ J/year

          Energy produce in one year = 204984 x 10¹² J/year

          Energy produce in one year =20.49 x 10¹⁶ J/year

An experiment to determine the convection coefficient associated with airflow over the surface of a thick stainless steel castin
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

h = 375 KW/m^2K

Explanation:

Given:

Thermo-couple distances: L_1 = 10 mm , L_2 = 20 mm

steel thermal conductivity k = 15 W / mK

Thermo-couple temperature measurements: T_1 = 50 C , T_2 = 40 C

Air Temp T_∞ = 100 C

Assuming there are no other energy sources, energy balance equation is:

                                               E_in = E_out

                                        q"_cond = q"_conv

Since, its a case 1-D steady state conduction, the total heat transfer rate can be found from Fourier's Law for surfaces 1 and 2

q"_cond = k * (T_1 - T_2) / (L_2 - L_1) = 15 * (50 - 40) / (0.02 - 0.01)

=15KW/m^2

Assuming SS is solid, temperature at the surface exposed to air will be 60 C since its gradient is linear in the case of conduction, and there are two temperatures given in the problem. Convection coefficient can be found from Newton's Law of cooling:

q"_conv = h * ( T_∞  - T_s ) ----> h = q"_conv / ( T_∞  - T_s )

                                                   h = 15000 W / (100 - 60 ) C = 375 KW/m^2K

A copper-nickel alloy of composition 60 wt% Ni-40 wt% Cu is slowly heated from a temperature of 1250°C (2280 °F). (a) At what te
makkiz [27]

Answer:

a. The very first liquid process, when heated from 1250 degree Celsius, is expected to form at the temperature by which the vertical line crosses the phase boundary (a -(a + L)) which is about <em>1310 degree Celsius. </em>

b. The structure of that first liquid is identified by the intersection with ((a+ L)-L) phase boundary; <em>47wt %of Ni</em> is of a tie line formed across the (a+ L) phase area <em>at 1310 degrees.</em>

c. To find the alloy's full melting, it is determined that the intersection of the same vertical line at 60 wt percent Ni with (a -(a+L)) phase boundary is around <em>1350 degrees.</em>

c. The structure of the last remaining solid before full melting correlates to the intersection with the phase boundary (a -(a + L), of the tie line built at 1350 degrees across the (a + L) phase area, <em>being 72wt % of Ni.</em>

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:  a) The technology that deals with the generation, control and transmission of power using pressurized fluids

Explanation: Fluid power is defined as the fluids which are under pressure and then are used for generation,control and transmit the power. Fluid power systems produces high forces as well as power in small amount . These systems usually tend to have better life if maintained properly. The force that are applied on this system can be monitored by gauges as well as meter.
