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

A 600-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 54 percent. Determine the rate of hea
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW. Heat transfer can be higher if themal efficiency is lower.

Explanation:

The heat transfer rate to the river water is calculated by this expression:

\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H} - \dot W

\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{\eta_{th}}-1 )\cdot \dot W\\\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{0.54}-1)\cdot (600 MW)\\\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW

The actual heat transfer can be higher if the steam power plant reports an thermal efficiency lower than expected.

What is the pressure at the bottom of a 25 ft volume of hydraulic fluid with a weight density of 55 lb/ft3 a. 114.6 psi b. 1375p
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

d) 9.55 psi

Explanation:

pressure at the bottom is =ρgh

weight density is ρg=55 lb/ft³

h=25ft

pressure at the bottom is =55\times 25

                                  =1375psf

1 ft = 12 inch

pressure at bottom =\frac{1375}{12^2}

                                = 9.55 psi

so, answer will be option (d) which is 9.55 psi

Steam at 75 kPa and 8 percent quality is contained in a spring-loaded piston–cylinder device, as shown in Figure, with an initia
Rashid [163]

The heat transferred to and the work produced by the steam during this process  is 13781.618 kJ/kg

<h3>​How to calcultae the heat?</h3>

The Net Change in Enthalpy will be:

= m ( h2 - h1 ) = 11.216 ( 1755.405 - 566.78 ) = 13331.618 kJ/kg

Work Done (Area Under PV curve) = 1/2 x (P1 + P2) x ( V1 - V2)

= 1/2 x ( 75 + 225) x (5 - 2)

W = 450 KJ

From the First Law of Thermodynamics, Q = U + W

So, Heat Transfer = Change in Internal Energy + Work Done

= 13331.618 + 450

Q = 13781.618 kJ/kg
