How does hydroelectric energy works?

Physics
1 answer:
Snowcat [4.5K]3 years ago
7 0
Actually, hydroelectric and coal-fired power plants produce electricity in a similar way. In both cases a power source is used to turn a propeller-like piece called a turbine, which then turns a metal shaft in an electric generator,which is the motor that produces electricity. A coal-fired power plant uses steam to turn the turbine blades; whereas a hydroelectric plant uses falling water to turn the turbine. The results are the same. :) <span>

On a cold winter day when the temperature is −20∘C, what amount of heat is needed to warm to body temperature (37 ∘C) the 0.50 L
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

75.6J

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem we must use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the heat required to heat the air is the difference between the energy levels of the air when it enters and when it leaves the body,

Given the above we have the following equation.

Q=(m)(h2)-(m)(h1)

where

m=mass=1.3×10−3kg.

h2= entalpy at 37C

h1= entalpy at -20C

Q=m(h2-h1)

remember that the enthalpy differences for the air can approximate the specific heat multiplied by the temperature difference

Q=mCp(T2-T1)

Cp= specific heat of air = 1020 J/kg⋅K

Q=(1.3×10−3)(1020)(37-(-20))=75.6J

Consider an ideal gas at 27.0 degrees Celsius and 1.00 atmosphere pressure. Imagine the molecules to be uniformly spaced, with e
My name is Ann [436]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to keep in mind the concepts about the ideal gas equation and the volume in the cube.

However, for this case the Boyle equation will not be used, but the one that corresponds to the Boltzmann equation for ideal gas, in this way it is understood that

PV =NkT

Where,

N = Number of molecules

k = Boltzmann constant

V = Volume

T = Temperature

P = Pressure

Our values are given as,

N = 1

k = 1.38*10^{-23}J/K

T = 27\°C = 27\°C + 273 = 300K

P = 1atm = 101325Pa

Rearrange the equation to find V we have,

V = \frac{NkT}{P}

V = \frac{1(1.38*10^{-23})(300K)}{101325Pa}

V = 4.0858*10^{-26}m^3

We know that length of a cube is given by

V = L^3

Therefore the Length would be given as,

L = V^{1/3}

L = (4.0858*10^{-26})^{1/3}

L = 3.445*10^{-9}m

Therefore each length of the cube is 3.44nm
