Answer:

The overflow rate is 4.24×10^-4 m/s.

The detention time is 7069.5 s

Explanation:

Overflow rate is given as volumetric flow rate ÷ area

volumetric flow rate = 0.3 m^3/s

area = πd^2/4 = 3.142×30^2/4 = 706.95 m^2

Overflow rate = 0.3 m^3/s ÷ 706.95 m^2 = 4.24×10^-4 m/s

Detention time = volume ÷ volumetric flow rate

volume = area × depth = 706.95 m^2 × 3 m = 2120.85 m^3

Detention time = 2120.85 m^3 ÷ 0.3 m^3/s = 7069.5 s

A 600-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 54 percent. Determine the rate of hea
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW. Heat transfer can be higher if themal efficiency is lower.

Explanation:

The heat transfer rate to the river water is calculated by this expression:

\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H} - \dot W

\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{\eta_{th}}-1 )\cdot \dot W\\\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{0.54}-1)\cdot (600 MW)\\\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW

The actual heat transfer can be higher if the steam power plant reports an thermal efficiency lower than expected.

How much work, in Newtons, is required to lift a 20.4-kg (45lb) plate from the ground to a stand that is 1.50 meters up?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work, U, is equal to the force times the distance:

U = F · r

Force needed to lift the weight, is equal to the weight: F = W = m · g

so:

U = m · g · r

   = 20.4kg · 9.81 \frac{N}{kg} · 1.50m

   = 35.316 \frac{N}{m}

   = 35.316 W

Which sentence is correct about the exergy of an empty (pressure around zero Pascal) tank with a volume of V, located in an envi
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

c.  the exergy of the tank can be anything between zero to P₀·V

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The volume of the tank = V

The pressure in the tank = 0 Pascal

The pressure of the surrounding = P₀

The temperature of the surrounding = T₀

Exergy is a measure of the amount of a given energy which a system posses that is extractable to provide useful work. It is possible work that brings about equilibrium. It is the potential the system has to bring about change

The exergy balance equation  is given as follows;

X_2 - X_1 = \int\limits^2_1 {} \, \delta Q \left (1 - \dfrac{T_0}{T} \right ) - [W - P_0 \cdot (V_2 - V_1)]- X_{destroyed}

Where;

X₂ - X₁ is the difference between the two exergies

Therefore, the exergy of the system with regards to the environment is the work received from the environment which at is equal to done on the system by the surrounding which by equilibrium for an empty tank with 0 pressure is equal to the product of the pressure of the surrounding and the volume of the empty tank or P₀ × V less the work, exergy destroyed, while taking into consideration the change in heat of the system

Therefore, the exergy of the tank can be anything between zero to P₀·V.
