An engine draws energy from a hot reservoir with a temperature of 1250 K and exhausts energy into a cold reservoir with a temper

ature of 322 K. Over the course of one hour, the engine absorbs 1.37 x 105 J from the hot reservoir and exhausts 7.4 x 104 J into the cold reservoir.
1) What is the power output of this engine?

2) What is the maximum (Carnot) efficiency of a heat engine running between these two reservoirs?

3) What is the actual efficiency of this engine?

Answer:

The power output of this engine is  P =  17.5 W

The  the maximum (Carnot) efficiency is  \eta_c  = 0.7424

The  actual efficiency of this engine is  \eta _a  = 0.46

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The temperature of the hot reservoir is  T_h = 1250 \ K

      The temperature of the cold reservoir  is  T_c  =  322 \ K

     The energy absorbed from the hot reservoir is E_h  = 1.37 *10^{5} \ J

       The energy exhausts into  cold reservoir is  E_c  = 7.4 *10^{4} J

The power output is mathematically represented as

      P  =  \frac{W}{t}

Where t is the time taken which we will assume to be 1 hour =  3600 s  

W is the workdone which is mathematically represented as

      W =  E_h  -E_c

substituting values

       W = 63000 J

So

    P =  \frac{63000}{3600}

    P =  17.5 W

The Carnot efficiency is mathematically represented as

          \eta_c  =  1 - \frac{T_c}{T_h}

         \eta_c  =  1 - \frac{322}{1250}

         \eta_c  = 0.7424

The actual efficiency is mathematically represented as

        \eta _a  =   \frac{W}{E_h}

substituting values

         \eta _a  =  \frac{63000}{1.37*10^{5}}

         \eta _a  = 0.46

Allen and Jason are chucking a speaker around. On one particular throw, Allen throws the speaker, which is playing a pure tone o
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Doppler's effect of sound .

speaker is the source , Jason is the observer . Source is moving at 10 m /s , observer is moving at  6 m/s .

apparent frequency = f_o\times\frac{V+v_o}{ V-v_s}

V is velocity of sound , v₀ is velocity of observer and v_s is velocity of source and f_o is real frequency of source .

Here V = 340 m/s , v₀ is 6 m/s , v_s is 10 m/s . f_o = f

apparent frequency =  f\times \frac{340+6}{340-10}

= f\times \frac{346}{330}

So m = 346 , n = 330 .

Explanation:

"The burning of fossil fuels , oil and natural and power from nuclear power provide about 87% of the energy used in the world.

Coal, natural gas, petroleum and nuclear power are the major energy providers to the whole world. Till date we are heavily depend on them. They provide for about 87% of the total energy used in the world.
