We are going to make an imaginary engine using water. We are going to heat 100 grams of water to 120 C from its initial temperat

ure of 22 C. This would be the heat extracted from the hot reservoir. Then the steam will condense back into water and will be at a temperature of 30 C. This would be the exhaust expelled into the cold reservoir. You can assume the mass of the water and the mass of the steam is the same in this case. How much work can be done using this engine? The specific heat of water is 1 cal/(g C), the specific heat of steam is 0.48 cal/(g C),
and the latent heat of vaporization 540 cal/g.

Answer:

The work done by this engine is 800 cal

Explanation:

Given:

100 g of water

120°C final temperature

22°C initial temperature

30°C is the temperature of condensed steam

Cw = specific heat of water = 1 cal/g °C

Cg = specific heat of steam = 0.48 cal/g °C

Lw = latent heat of vaporization = 540 cal/g

Question: How much work can be done using this engine, W = ?

First, you need to calculate the heat that it is necessary to change water to steam:

Q_{1} =m_{w} C_{w} (100-22)+m_{w}L_{w}+m_{w}C_{g}(120-100)

Here, mw is the mass of water

Q_{1} =(100*1*78)+(100*540)+(100*0.48*20)=62760cal

Now, you need to calculate the heat released by the steam:

Q_{2} =m_{w}C_{g}(120-100)+m_{w}L_{w}+m_{w}C_{w}(100-30)=(100*0.48*20)+(100*540)+(100*1*70)=61960cal

The work done by this engine is the difference between both heats:

W=Q_{1}-Q_{2}=62760-61960=800cal

Help ASAP.
Temka [501]

Answer:

Depending on where people are located in the world (Northern hemisphere, Southern hemisphere, etc) depends on the difference in direction (North, South, east, West) which is most likely why it'd look different.

Explanation:

I dunno if this is along the lines of an answer you're looking for, but hope this helps :)

A cyclist rides 6.2 km east, then 9.28 km in a direction 27.27 degrees west of north, then 7.99 km west. A. What is the magnitud
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Explanation:

given,

cyclist ride  6.2 km east and then 9.28 km in the direction of 27.27° west of north and then 7.99 km west.

vertical component = 9.28 cos∅

                                = 9.28 cos 27.27°

                                = 8.24 km

horizontal axis component = 9.28 sin ∅

                                             = 9.28 sin 27.27°

                                             = 4.5 km

distance of the final point from the origin

                            = 7.99 -(6.2-4.5)

                            = 6.29 km

displacement

d = \sqrt{6.29^2+8.24^2}

d = 10.37 km

b) tan \theta = \dfrac{6.29}{8.24}

θ = 37.36°

How is voltmeter connected in the circuit to measure the potential difference between two points?
34kurt

Voltmeter is used to find the potential difference between two points.

We always connect it in parallel to the points where we need the potential difference.

Here in order to make the reading accurate we can increase the resistance of voltmeter so that it can not withdraw any current from the circuit.

Boyles law<br> squeezing a balloon is one way to burst it. Why? ...?
KiRa [710]
According to Boyle's Law,  volume is inversely proportional to pressure. It means if the volume of a gas goes up the pressure goes down and if the volume of the gas goes up the pressure goes down. When the pressure of air inside the inflated balloon is more than the atmospheric pressure outside the balloon. And also when the density inside is greater than the density outside. The molecules inside the balloon move and bang around the inner walls which produces force, which provides the pressure of an enclosed air.
