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.

A single fixed pulley is used to lift a load of 400N by the application of an effort of 480N in 10s through a vertical height of
Allushta [10]

Answer:

(a) the velocity ratio of the machine (V.R) = 1

(b) The mechanical advantage of the machine (M.A) = 0.833

(c) The efficiency of the machine (E) = 83.3 %

Explanation:

Given;

load lifted by the pulley, L = 400 N

effort applied in lifting the, E = 480 N

distance moved by the effort, d = 5 m

(a) the velocity ratio of the machine (V.R);

since the effort applied moved downwards through a distance of d, the load will also move upwards through an equal distance 'd'.

V.R = distance moved by effort / distance moved by the load

V.R = 5/5 = 1

(b) The mechanical advantage of the machine (M.A);

M.A = L/E

M.A = 400 / 480

M.A = 0.833

(c) The efficiency of the machine (E);

E = \frac{M.A}{V.R} \times 100\%\\\\E = 0.833 \ \times \ 100\%\\\\ E = 83.3 \ \%

dem82 [27]

Answer:

0.264 ; 0.079

Explanation:

Given that:

Sample size, n = 100

Probability of being active, p = 1% = 1/100 = 0.01

Using the binomial probability relation :

P(x =x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)

Probability that more than 1 user will be active

P(x > 1) = 1 - [p(x=0) + p(x = 1)]

P(x = 0) = 100C0 * 0.01^0 * 0.99^100 = 0.366

P(x = 1) = 100C1 * 0.01^1 * 0.99^99 = 0.370

P(x > 1) = 1 - [0.366 + 0.370]

P(x > 1) = 0.264

2.)

Probability that more than 2 user will be active

P(x > 2) = 1 - [p(x=0) + p(x = 1) + p(x = 2)]

P(x = 0) = 100C0 * 0.01^0 * 0.99^100 = 0.366

P(x = 1) = 100C1 * 0.01^1 * 0.99^99 = 0.370

P(x = 2) = 100C2 * 0.01^2 * 0.99^98 = 0.185

P(x > 1) = 1 - [0.366 + 0.370 + 0.185]

P(x > 1) = 0.079

Express (118)10 and (-49)10 in 8-bit binary one’s complement form and then add the numbers. What would be the representation (-0
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

118_{10}= 0110111 2) -49_{10}=110001_{2} 3) 0_{10}=0:16 \Rightarrow 0_{10}=0_{16}

Explanation:

1) Expressing the Division as the summation of the quotient and the remainder

for

118, knowing it is originally a decimal form:

118:2=59  +(0), 59/2 =29 + 1, 29/2=14+1, 14/2=7+0, 7/2=3+1, 3/2=1+1, 1/2=0+1

118_{10}= 0110111

2) -49_{10}

Similarly, we'll start the process with the absolute value of -49 since we want the positive value of it. Then let's start the successive divisions till zero.

|-49|=49

49:2=24+1, 24:2=12+0,12:2=6+0,6:2=3+0,3:2=1+1,1:2=0+1

100011

-49_{10}=110001_{2}

3) (-0)_{10}

The first step on that is dividing by 16, and then dividing their quotient again by 16, so on and adding their remainders. Simply put:

(-0)_{10}=0:16=0 \Rightarrow (0)_{10}=0_{16} \:or\\(0)_{16}=0000000000000000

lord [1]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing part and also attached is the solution

answer: a) 0.4801

              b) 5.398 kw

              c) 2.14

              d) 12.72

Explanation:

The quality of the refrigerant at the evaporator inlet

h4 = hf4 + x4(hfx4)

Refrigeration load

Ql = m(h1-h4)

COP of the refrigerator

Ql / m(h2-h1) - Qm

Theoretical maximum refrigeration load

( Ql )max = COPr.rev * [m(h2-h1) - Qin]
