A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 600 K and 300 K. It drives a Carnot refrigerator, which provides cooling

at 250 K and discards heat at 300 K. Determine a numerical value for the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load").

Explanation:

Formula for maximum efficiency of a Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

      \frac{W}{Q_{H_{1}}} = \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}} ..... (1)

And, formula for maximum efficiency of Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

     \frac{W}{Q_{C_{2}}} = \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}} ...... (2)

Now, equating both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

 Q_{C_{2}} \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}} = Q_{H_{1}} \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}        

        \gamma = \frac{Q_{C_{2}}}{Q_{H_{1}}}

                    = \frac{T_{C_{2}}}{T_{H_{1}}} (\frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}})

                    = \frac{250}{600} (\frac{(600 - 300)K}{300 K - 250 K})

                    = 2.5

Thus, we can conclude that the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load") is 2.5.

When would you use a compound microscope?
Vladimir [108]
 a compound microscope is used for viewing samples at high magnification<span> 40 - 1000x, which is achieved by the combined effect of two sets of lenses: the ocular lens in the eyepiece and the objective lenses close to the sample.</span>

B) A satellite with mass m orbits the Earth at a radius r. A second satellite also with mass m orbits the
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

So, given the eqn Fg=G(m1+m2/r^2) where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass of the satellite and m2 is the mass of the earth and r is the distance from earth to the satellite, the force of earths gravity should be quartered.

Cause (2r)^2 gets turned into (4r^2) where 4r^2 is compared to r^2

In what regions of the electromagnetic spectrum is the atmosphere transparent enough to allow observations from the ground?
MissTica

Answer:

Visible Light and Radio waves

Explanation:

The earth's atmosphere is transparent to a few windows in the electromagnetic spectrum. it is completely transparent to allow observation from the ground in visible light rang 380 to 740 nano meters. Also in the range of radio wave as communication are done from space to ground in the form of radio waves.

it is Partially transparent to Microwave and infrared range.
