Following three questions refer to the information below. A coal-fired power plant produces and sells 10,000 MW electricity whil

e operating at 40% thermal efficiency. The sale prioe of electric power is $0.04 per kWh. How much power does it reject to the atmosphere? How much power (in the form of heat rate) does it require from coal combustion?

Answer: Heat rejected=150000MW

Heat rate= 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Thermal efficiency is defined as work out divided by heat in.

Therefore

thermal efficiency = 40/100= 100000 MW/Heat in

Heat in = 250000MW

For a closed system undergoing a cycle the change in internal energy is zero. Therefore the work out of the system is equal to the net heat transfer of the system. Therefore

Work out= heat in - heat out

Therefore heat out = heat in - work out

Heat out = 250000 MW - 100000MW = 150000 MW which is the amount of heat rejected

The heat rate is defined as the inverse of the thermal efficiency expressed in kJ/kWh.Therefore

Heat rate = 1/thermal efficiency

Heat rate = 1/0.4 = 2.5 kJ/kWh

Cans of frozen orange juice are weighed to ensure they are not underfilled. Cans are independent, and the probability that a can
olga2289 [7]

Answer: 0.999986176

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, the probability distribution formula for selection will be used

Where P(x=r) = nCr * p^r * q^n-r

To get the probability that all 3cans are not overfilled, since the probability of success given in the question is that of a can being overfilled, then we will first derive the probability of having exactly 3cans being overfilled and subtract this gotten answer from 1

n= 3, r=3, p=0.024, q=1-0.024=0.976

When, 3 cans are overfilled, P(x=3) becomes:

P(x=3) = 3C3 * 0.024^3 * 0.976^0

P(x=3) = 1 * 0.000013824 * 1

P(x=3) = 0.000013824.

Then, probability that all three cans are not overfilled becomes :

1 - 0.000013824. = 0.999986176,
