In 2002, Colorado was suffering from extreme drought. Which technology will help Colorado reduce the effects of future droughts?

I would say C: Dam

Sea walls and levees stop water from overflowing onto something. Which can we good but has no impact on droughts.

Storm shelters wont impact droughts either. They are men't to protect people from storms.

A Dam on the other hand can contain and keep water in one given place. Which will save water, to be used to prevent future droughts.

Hope this helps!
Brainliest is appreciated if you feel its deserved!

The drought problem in Colorado will be reduced if the people living in there will build dams. Dams are used to store water in a long period of time. When the dam is full, it will release water that are necessary in drought season. These dams will store huge amount of water which will be a supply in the long period of drought in Colorado.

Steam is to be condensed on the shell side of a heat exchanger at 150 oF. Cooling water enters the tubes at 60 oF at a rate of 4

zalisa [80]

Answer:

a. 572Btu/s

b.0.1483Btu/s.R

Explanation:

a.Assume a steady state operation, KE and PE are both neglected and fluids properties are constant.

From table A-3E, the specific heat of water is $c_p=1.0\ Btu/lbm.F$ , and the steam properties as, A-4E:

$h_{fg}=1007.8Btu/lbm, s_{fg}=1.6529Btu/lbm.R$

Using the energy balance for the system:

$\dot E_{in}-\dot E_{out}=\bigtriangleup \dot E_{sys}=0\\\\\dot E_{in}=\dot E_{out}\\\\\dot Q_{in}+\dot m_{cw}h_1=\dot m_{cw}h_2\\\\\dot Q_{in}=\dot m_{cw}c_p(T_{out}-T_{in})\\\\\dot Q_{in}=44\times 1.0\times (73-60)=572\ Btu/s$

Hence, the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger is 572Btu/s

b. Heat gained by the water is equal to the heat lost by the condensing steam.

-The rate of steam condensation is expressed as:

$\dot m_{steam}=\frac{\dot Q}{h_{fg}}\\\\\dot m_{steam}=\frac{572}{1007.8}=0.5676lbm/s$

Entropy generation in the heat exchanger could be defined using the entropy balance on the system:

$\dot S_{in}-\dot S_{out}+\dot S_{gen}=\bigtriangleup \dot S_{sys}\\\\\dot m_1s_1+\dot m_3s_3-\dot m_2s_2-\dot m_4s_4+\dot S_{gen}=0\\\\\dot m_ws_1+\dot m_ss_3-\dot m_ws_2-\dot m_ss_4+\dot S_{gen}=0\\\\\dot S_{gen}=\dot m_w(s_2-s_1)+\dot m_s(s_4-s_3)\\\\\dot S_{gen}=\dot m c_p \ In(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-\dot m_ss_{fg}\\\\\\\dot S_{gen}=4.4\times 1.0\times \ In( {73+460)/(60+460)}-0.5676\times 1.6529\\\\=0.1483\ Btu/s.R$

Hence,the rate of entropy generation in the heat exchanger. is 0.1483Btu/s.R

A train travels 200km/hr. how much distance will the train be from the station in 2.5 hours?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

500km

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed = 200km/hr

Time taken = 2.5hrs

Unknown:

Distance = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the speed, time and distance equation.

Therefore;

Distance = Speed x time

So;

Distance = 200 x 2.5 = 500km

The intensity of the radiation from the Sun measured on Earth is 1360 W/m2 and frequency is f = 60 MHz. The distance between the

Mama L [17]

Answer: (a) power output = 3.85×10²⁶W

(b). There is no relative change in power as it is independent from frequency

(c). 590 W/m²

Explanation:

given Radius between earth and sun to be = 1.50 × 10¹¹m

Intensity of the radiation from the sun measured on earth to be = 1360 W/m²

Frequency = 60 MHz

(a). surface area A of the sun on earth is = 4πR²

substituting value of R;

A = 4π(.50 × 10¹¹)² = 2.863 10²³×m²

A = 2.863 10²³×m²

now to get the power output of the sun we have;

P sun = I sun-earth A sun-earth

where A = 2.863 10²³×m², and I  is 1360 W/m²

P sun = 2.863 10²³ × 1360

P sun = 3.85×10²⁶W

(c). surface area A of the sun on mars is = 4πR²

now we substitute value of 2.28 ×10¹¹ for R sun-mars, we have

A sun-mars = 4π(2.28× 10¹¹)²

A sun-mars = 6.53 × 10²³m²

now to calculate the intensity of the sun;

I sun-mars = P sun / A sun-mars

where P sun = 3.85×10²⁶W and A sun-mars = 6.53 × 10²³m²

I sun-mars = 3.85×10²⁶W / 6.53 × 10²³m²

I sun-mars = 589.6 ≈ 590 W/m²

I sun-mars = 590 W/m²
