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.

The following scenarios are pertinent to driving conditions that one may encounter. See the following rules of driving.

<h3>What do you do when the car is forced into the guardrail?</h3>

Best response:

  • I'll keep my hands on the wheel and slow down gradually.
  • The reason I keep my hands on the steering wheel is to avoid losing control.
  • This will allow me to slowly back away from the guard rail.
  • The next phase is to gradually return to the fast lane.
  • Slamming on the brakes at this moment would result in a collision with the car behind.

Scenario 2: When driving on a wet road and the car begins to slide

Best response:

  • It is not advised to accelerate.
  • Pumping the brakes is not recommended.
  • Even lightly depressing and holding down the brake pedal is not recommended.
  • The best thing to do is take one foot off the gas pedal.
  • There should be no severe twists at this time.

Scenario 3: When you are in slow traffic and you hear the siren of an ambulance behind

Best response:

  • The best thing to do at this moment is to go to the right side of the lane and come to a complete stop.
  • This helps to keep the patient in the ambulance alive.
  • It also provide a clear path for the ambulance.
  • Moving to the left is NOT recommended.
  • This will exacerbate the situation. If there is no place to park on the right shoulder of the road, it is preferable to stay in the lane.

Assume the impedance of a circuit element is Z = (3 + j4) Ω. Determine the circuit element’s conductance and susceptance.
djyliett [7]

Answer:

B. G = 333 mS, B = j250 mS

Explanation:

impedance of a circuit element is Z = (3 + j4) Ω

The general equation for impedance

Z = (R + jX) Ω

where

R = resistance in ohm

X = reactance

R = 3Ω  X = 4Ω

Conductance = 1/R while Susceptance = 1/X

Conductance = 1/3 = 0.333S

= 333 mS

Susceptance = 1/4 = 0.25S

= 250mS

The right option is B. G = 333 mS, B = j250 mS

A converging-diverging nozzle has an area ratio of 5.9. (1) Determine the (P0/Pt) values corresponding to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The Total pressure is the overall of fixed or static pressure p, the dynamic pressure q, as well as gravitational head. Total pressure can also be referred to as the measure of the overall energy of the airstream, and is the same to static pressure plus velocity pressure.

kindly check the step by step solution in the attached image below to Determine the (P0/Pt) values corresponding to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd critical points.
