Answer:

The work of the cycle.

Explanation:

The area enclosed by the cycle of the Pressure-Volume diagram of a Carnot engine represents the net work performed by the cycle.

The expansions yield work, and this is represented by the area under the curve all the way to the p=0 line. But the compressions consume work (or add negative work) and this is substracted fro the total work. Therefore the areas under the compressions are eliminated and you are left with only the enclosed area.

Underground water is to be pumped by a 78% efficient 5- kW submerged pump to a pool whose free surface is 30 m above the undergr

maksim [4K]

Answer:

a) The maximum flowrate of the pump is approximately 13,305.22 cm³/s

b) The pressure difference across the pump is approximately 293.118 kPa

Explanation:

The efficiency of the pump = 78%

The power of the pump = 5 -kW

The height of the pool above the underground water, h = 30 m

The diameter of the pipe on the intake side = 7 cm

The diameter of the pipe on the discharge side = 5 cm

a) The maximum flowrate of the pump is given as follows;

$P = \dfrac{Q \cdot \rho \cdot g\cdot h}{\eta_t}$

Where;

P = The power of the pump

Q = The flowrate of the pump

ρ = The density of the fluid = 997 kg/m³

h = The head of the pump = 30 m

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

$\eta_t$ = The efficiency of the pump = 78%

$\therefore Q_{max} = \dfrac{P \cdot \eta_t}{\rho \cdot g\cdot h}$

$Q_{max}$ = 5,000 × 0.78/(997 × 9.8 × 30) ≈ 0.0133 m³/s

The maximum flowrate of the pump $Q_{max}$ ≈ 0.013305 m³/s = 13,305.22 cm³/s

b) The pressure difference across the pump, ΔP = ρ·g·h

∴ ΔP = 997 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 30 m = 293.118 kPa

The pressure difference across the pump, ΔP ≈ 293.118 kPa

A flame ionization detector, which is often used in gas chromatography, responds to a change in

Lena [83]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

We know that ions are present in hydrogen-air flame and when the burning of an organic compound takes place in this flame more ions are produced in the flame.

Thus when we apply a voltage across this flame, the ion collector plate attracts the all the ions in the flame.

The presence of organic compounds increases the voltage across the hydrogen ion flame produced at the ion collector increases and as the voltage increases, the detection of the organic compound can be made in turn.

Thus flame ionization detector clearly responds to the variation in the collection of ions or electrons in a flame.

A bus travels the 100 miles between A and B at 50 mi/h and then another 100 miles between B and C at 70 mi/h.

stira [4]

Answer:

c. less than 60 mi/h

Explanation:

To calculate the average speed of the bus, we need to calculate the total distance traveled by the bus, as well as the total time of travel of the bus.

Total Distance Traveled = S = 100 mi + 100 mi

S = 200 mi

Now, for total time, we calculate the times for both speeds from A to b and then B to C, separately and add them.

Total Time = t = Time from A to B + Time from B to C

t = (100 mi)/(50 mi/h) + (100 mi)(70 mi/h)

t = 2 h + 1.43 h

t = 3.43 h

Now, the average speed of bus will be given as:

Average Speed = V = S/t

V = 200 mi/3.43 h

It is clear from this answer that the correct option is:
