A carnot engine operates between two heat reservoirs at temperatures th and tc. an inventor proposes to increase the efficiency

by running one engine between th and an intermediate temperature t and a second engine between t and tc using as input the heat expelled by the first engine.

The efficiency of the first Carnot engine is 
n1 = 1 - Th/T
The efficiency of the second Carnot engine is
n2 = 1 - T/Tc
The total efficiency of the engines put in series is
n = 1 - Th/Tc

How is the bike in the picture a system and how is the Earth a system?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The earth is a vast, complex system powered by two sources of energy: an internal source (the decay of radioactive elements in the geosphere, which generates geothermal heat) and an external source (the solar radiation received from the Sun); the vast majority of the energy in the earth system comes from the Sun.

A research submarine has a 30-cm-diameter window that is 8.6 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up
slega [8]

First solve the area of the ow the window os the submarine

A = pi* (0.15)^2= 0.0707 m2

The pressure it can with stand is

P= F/A = 1.2x10^6 N/ 0.0707 m2 = 16976527.26 Pa

Using the formala

P = pgh

Where p is the density of water

G is the accelartion due to gravity

H is the depth

H = P/pg

=16976527.26 Pa/ (1000 kg/m3)(9.81 m/s2)

H = 1730.53 m

Problem 1: a car is to be hoisted by elevator to the fourth floor of a parking garage, which is 52 ft above the ground. if the e
djyliett [7]
The working equation for this problem is written below:
x = v₀t + 0.5at², where x is the distance traveled, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time

Let's apply the concept of calculus. The maximum speed is equated to the derivative of x with respect to t.

dx/dt = 8 ft/s = v₀ + at

Since the it starts from rest, v₀ = 0

8 = at
t = 8/a  

The net acceleration is 0.7 - 0.35 = 0.35 ft/s². Thus,

t = 8/0.35 = 22.86 seconds
