In tropical climates, the water near the surface of the ocean remains warm throughout the year as a result of solar energy absor

ption. In the deeper parts of the ocean, however, the water remains at a relatively low temperature since the sun’s rays cannot penetrate very far. It is proposed to take advantage of this temperature difference and construct a power plant that will absorb heat from the warm water near the surface and reject the waste heat to the cold water a few hundred meters below. Determine the maximum thermal efficiency of such a plant if the water temperatures at the two respective locations are 24 and 3°C.

Answer:

7.07%

Explanation:

Thermal efficiency can be by definition seen as the ratio of the heat utilized by a heat engine to the total heat units in the fuel consumed.

We will determine the thermal efficiency of the given problem at the attached file.

A 3.52 kg steel ball is tossed upward from a height of 6.93 meters above the floor with a vertical velocity of 2.99 m/s. What is
Dafna1 [17]

Answer : The final velocity of the ball is, 12.03 m/s

Explanation :

By the 3rd equation of motion,

v^2-u^2=2as

where,

s = distance covered by the object = 6.93 m

u = initial velocity  = 2.99 m/s

v = final velocity = ?

a = acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final velocity of the ball.

v^2-(2.99m/s)^2=2\times (9.8m/s^2)\times (6.93m)

v=12.03m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the ball is, 12.03 m/s

dexar [7]

Answer:

The blue Prius, because the Mustang arrived almost in the same time. And when you arrive in an intersection at the same time of other vehicle you need yield for the car on your right if the car is on your left you have the right of way.

Guys i need help and some ones please help me
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

4. A series of steps engineers use to solve problems.

Explanation:

The process of engineering design is a sequence of procedures that engineers pursue to arrive at a solution to a specific problem. Most times the solution includes creating a product such as a computer code, which fulfills certain conditions or performs a function. If the project in-hand includes designing, constructing, and testing it, then engineers probably adopt the design process. Steps of the process include defining the problem, doing background research,  specifying requirements, brainstorming solutions, etc.
