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

Write some harms of friction.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Friction produces unnecessary heat leading to the wastage of energy. The force of friction acts in the opposite direction of motion, so friction slows down the motion of moving objects. Forest fires are caused due to the friction between tree branches. However, friction can also cause problems in a car. Friction between moving engine parts increases their temperature and causes the parts to wear down. Friction can be both harmful and helpful, so it may be necessary to decrease or increase friction.

You are writing a report about space travel. Where would be the best place to find information? (2 points)
Harrizon [31]

Answer: Contact the National Aeronautics and Space Association

Explanation:

The National Aeronautics and Space Association is an independent organization in US which aims to enable a safe, secure, efficient space journey and launch of new satellites, spacecraft beyond the earth's orbit. It can give better information for the space travel already conducted by the astronauts. Thus will help in writing the report as it is the best place to find the information.
