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 small metal particle passes downward through a fluid medium while being subjected to the attraction of a magnetic field such t
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

a)Δs = 834 mm

b)V=1122 mm/s

a=450\ mm/s^2

Explanation:

Given that

s = 15t^3 - 3t\ mm

a)

When t= 2 s

s = 15t^3 - 3t\ mm

s = 15\times 2^3 - 3\times 2\ mm

s= 114 mm

At t= 4 s

s = 15t^3 - 3t\ mm

s = 15\times 4^3- 3\times 4\ mm

s= 948 mm

So the displacement between 2 s to 4 s

Δs = 948 - 114 mm

Δs = 834 mm

b)

We know that velocity V

V=\dfrac{ds}{dt}

\dfrac{ds}{dt}=45t^2-3

At t=  5 s

V=45t^2-3

V=45\times 5^2-3

V=1122 mm/s

We know that acceleration a

a=\dfrac{d^2s}{dt^2}

\dfrac{d^2s}{dt^2}=90t

a= 90 t

a = 90 x 5

a=450\ mm/s^2

A square silicon chip (k = 152 W/m·K) is of width 7 mm on a side and of thickness 3 mm. The chip is mounted in a substrate such
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The steady-state temperature difference is 2.42 K

Explanation:

Rate of heat transfer = kA∆T/t

Rate of heat transfer = 6 W

k is the heat transfer coefficient = 152 W/m.K

A is the area of the square silicon = width^2 = (7/1000)^2 = 4.9×10^-5 m^2

t is the thickness of the silicon = 3 mm = 3/1000 = 0.003 m

6 = 152×4.9×10^-5×∆T/0.003

∆T = 6×0.003/152×4.9×10^-5 = 2.42 K

The pressure of a gas in a rigid container is 125kpa at 300k, what we be the new pressure if the temperature increases to 900k​
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

375 KPa

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial pressure (P₁) = 125 KPa

Initial temperature (T₁) = 300 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 900 K

Final pressure (P₂) =?

The new (i.e final) pressure of the gas can be obtained as follow:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

125 / 300 = P₂ / 900

Cross multiply

300 × P₂ = 125 × 900

300 × P₂ = 112500

Divide both side by 300

P₂ = 112500 / 300

P₂ = 375 KPa

Thus, the new pressure of the gas is 375 KPa
