A heat engine receives 7000 j of heat and loses 3000 j in each cycle. what is the efficiency of this engine?

Physics
1 answer:
Nonamiya [84]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: 57.1 %

Explanation:

The efficiency of the engine is given by:

\eta=\frac{Q_{used}}{Q_{in}}

where the numerator corresponds to the heat used by the engine, while the denominator corresponds to the heat in input to the engine.

In this problem, the heat in input is

Q_{in}=7000 J

while the heat used is

Q_{used}=7000 J-3000 J=4000 J

So, the efficiency is

\eta=\frac{4000 J}{7000 J}=0.571=57.1\%

A 4-79 permalloy solenoid coil needs to produce a minimum inductance of 1.1 . If the maximum allowed current is 4 , how many tur
daser333 [38]

The related concept to solve this exercise is given in the expressions that the magnetic field has both as a function of the number of loops, current and length, as well as inductance and permeability. The first expression could be given as,

The magnetic field H is given as,

H = \frac{nI}{l}

Here,

n = Number of turns of the coil

I = Current that flows in the coil

l = Length of the coil

From the above equation, the number of turns of the coil is,

n = \frac{Hl}{I}

The magnetic field is again given by,

H = \frac{B}{\mu_t}

Where the minimum inductance produced by the solenoid coil is B.

We have to obtain n, that

n = \dfrac{\frac{B}{\mu_t}l}{I}

Replacing with our values we have that,

n = \dfrac{\frac{1.1Wb/m^2 }{200000}(2m)}{4mA}

n = \dfrac{(\frac{1.1Wb/m^2 }{200000})(\frac{10^4 guass}{1Wb/m^2})(2m)}{4mA(\frac{10^{-3}A}{1mA})}

n = 27.5 \approx 28

Therefore the number of turn required is 28Truns

Using 6400 km as the radius of Earth, calculate how high above Earth’s surface you would have to be in order to weigh 1/16th of
FrozenT [24]
Gravity obeys the inverse square law.  At 6400 km above the center of the Earth (Earth's surface) you weigh x.  Twice that reduces your weight to 1/4th.  Four times that height reduces your weight to 1/16th.  4 times 6400 km is 25,600 km.  But that is above the center of the earth, and the question requests the height above the surface, so we deduct 6400 km to arrive at our final answer:  19,200 km.

Incidentally, it doesn't exactly work the opposite way.  At the center of the Earth the mass would be equally distributed around you, and you would therefore be weightless.

Why is there an upward force on objects in water?
Paraphin [41]
If you'r referring to some objects, it means that the mass of the object is less than the water so it floats. If the mass of an object is greater than the mass of the water, it will sink. Compare it to a balloon, helium makes it rise, while normal air makes it sink.
