Answer:

C. Shield Volcano.

Explanation:

In an oceanic hotspot environment, for example Hawaii, dark, silica -poor basalt magma is produced. The runny basalt forms broad sloping shield volcanoes.

A 800-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 40 percent. Determine the rate of hea

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes

Explanation:

In order to find the actual heat transfer rate is lower or higher than its value we will first find the rate of heat transfer to power plant:

$Efficiency=\frac{work}{heat transfer to power plant}$

$Heat transfer=\frac{work}{Efficiency\\} \\\\Heat transfer=\frac{800}{0.40}\\\\Heat transfer=2000MW$

From First law of thermodynamics:

Rate of heat transfer to river=heat transfer to power plant-work done

Rate of heat transfer to river=2000-800

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes.

What Happens If A Sonic Boom Is Created?

Volgvan

Answer:

Explanation:

A sonic boom is a loud sound kind of like an explosion. It's caused by shock waves created by any object that travels through the air faster than the speed of sound. Sonic booms create huge amounts of sound energy. When an object moves through the air, it makes pressure waves in front of and behind it.

A fire hose nozzle has a diameter of 1.125 in. According to some fire codes, the nozzle must be capable of delivering at least 2

Furkat [3]

Answer:

$P_{1} = 403,708\,kPa\,(58.553\,psi)$

Explanation:

Let assume that changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected. The fire hose nozzle is modelled by the Bernoulli's Principle:

$\frac{P_{1}}{\rho\cdot g} = \frac{P_{2}}{\rho \cdot g} + \frac{v^{2}}{2\cdot g}$

The initial pressure is:

$P_{1} = P_{2}+ \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho v^{2}$

The speed at outlet is:

$v=\frac{\dot Q}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}}$

$v=\frac{(250\,\frac{gal}{min} )\cdot (\frac{3.785\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{1\,gal} )\cdot(\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} )}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot [(1.125\,in)\cdot(\frac{0.0254\,m}{1\,in} )]^{2} }$

$v\approx 24.592\,\frac{m}{s}\,(80.682\,\frac{ft}{s} )$

The initial pressure is:

$P_{1} = 101.325\times 10^{3}\,Pa+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (24.592\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}$

$P_{1} = 403,708\,kPa\,(58.553\,psi)$
