 <span>The maximum possible efficiency, i.e the efficiency of a Carnot engine , is give by the ratio of the absolute temperatures of hot and cold reservoir. 
η_max = 1 - (T_c/T_h) 

For this engine: 
η_max = 1 - [ (20 +273)K/(600 + 273)K ] = 0.66 = 66% 

The actual efficiency of the engine is 30%, i.e. 
η = 0.3 ∙ 0.664 = 0.20 = 20 % 

On the other hand thermal efficiency is defined as the ratio of work done to the amount of heat absorbed from hot reservoir: 
η = W/Q_h 

So the heat required from hot reservoir is: 
Q_h = W/η = 1000J / 0.20 = 5000J</span>

Valentin [98]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

When a substrate is exposed to one more more number of volatile substances that react together on the surface of substrate to produce a suitable deposit of a thin non-volatile film is known as chemical vapor deposition.

This type of reaction generally occurs in heat flux.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement chemical vapor deposition can be defined as the interaction between a mixture of gases and the surface of a heated substrate, causing chemical decomposition of some of the gas constituents and formation of a solid film on the substrate, is true.

An object is originally going 8 m/s. It accelerates to a velocity of 32 m/s. This takes 8
Bad White [126]

Answer:

The answer from this question is 3 m/s2.

Explanation:

8 m/s is initial velocity and 32 is final velocity. According to the rule of acceleration vf - vi we minus 8 from 32. Acceleration is the change of velocity per unit time. Then the difference (32 - 8= 24) is divided to 8. We get 3.
