The town of Mustang, TX is concerned that waste heat discharged from a new up- stream power plant will decimate the minnow popul

ation in its local stream. The power plant is 35% efficient with a rated output of 350 MW, and 75% of the waste heat is discharged into the stream, which flows at 150 m3/s. Before the power plant starts operations, the stream temperature was 20◦C. If the minnows can handle max- imum stream temperatures of 22◦C, will the water be safe at the point of cooling water discharge? (Assume that the waste heat is discharged to the flow of the whole stream.)

Answer:

Yes the water will be safe at the point of cooling water discharge

Explanation:

Power losses in plant= 350- 350×0.35=227.5MW

Rate of heat rejection to stream= 0.75× 227.5= 170.625MW

Rate of heat rejection= rate of flow of water× c × ΔT

170625000= 150000000× 4.186 × (Final temperature- 20)

Final temperature= 20.3 ◦C

The final temperature of stream will be 20.3 ◦C. Thechange is very small so the minnows will be able to handle this temperature.

What is the difference between absolute and gage pressure?
Len [333]

Explanation:

Step1

Absolute pressure is the pressure above zero level of the pressure. Absolute pressure is considering atmospheric pressure in it. Absolute pressure is always positive. There is no negative absolute pressure.

The expression for absolute pressure is given as follows:

P_{ab}=P_{g}+P_{atm}

Here, P_{ab} is absolute pressure, P_{g} is gauge pressure andP_{atm} is atmospheric pressure.

Step2

Gauge pressure is the pressure that measure above atmospheric pressure. It is not considering atmospheric pressure. It can be negative called vacuum or negative gauge pressure. Gauge pressure used to simplify the pressure equation for fluid analysis.

(a) Draw the Moore finite state machine (FSM) of an electronic combination lock with a RESET button, two number buttons (0 and 1
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are a total of 6 states and 3 bits in this problem. Whenever the Reset button is pressed, RESET state is called otherwise the state according to the diagram is called. For the combination to be "01011", the input sequence has to be in the same order. If 0 is pressed instead of 1 in state "010", the last state of output ending with 0 will be called and likewise in all the states that follow.

Do the coil resistances have any effect on the plots?
PolarNik [594]
Because of the skin depth effect, the current at high frequency tends to flow at very low depth from radius. Then at high frequency the effective cross section of the wire is narrower than at DC.

Fro example skin depth at 100 kHz is 0.206 mm (0.008”), a wire more thicker than AWG26 could be a waste of copper, better use a bunch of thin wire (Litz wire) to rise the Q factor.

Are all transmissions fluids interchangeable
KiRa [710]

Answer:

<u>No</u>.

Explanation:

They are not all the same. Moreover, using a fluid that is not approved by the vehicle manufacturer will void the transmission warranty.
