Answer:

Potential energy=4905 Joule

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the energy between two bodies due to its relative positions. Here one body is the diver and the other body is the earth. So acceleration will be the constant $9.81\ m/s^2$

$P.E.=m\times g\times h\\where\ m=mass\ of\ body=50\ kg\\g=acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity=9.81\ m/s^2\\h=height\ at\ which\ the\ body\ is\ from\ the\ ground=10.0\ m\\\Rightarrow P.E.=50\times 9.81\times 10.0\\\therefore Potential\ Energy=4905\ Joule$

Calculate the viscosity(dynamic) and kinematic viscosity of airwhen

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(a) dynamic viscosity = $1.812\times 10^{-5}Pa-sec$

(b) kinematic viscosity = $1.4732\times 10^{-5}m^2/sec$

Explanation:

We have given temperature T = 288.15 K

Density $d=1.23kg/m^3$

According to Sutherland's Formula dynamic viscosity is given by

${\mu} = {\mu}_0 \frac {T_0+C} {T + C} \left (\frac {T} {T_0} \right )^{3/2}$ , here

μ = dynamic viscosity in (Pa·s) at input temperature T,

$\mu _0$ = reference viscosity in(Pa·s) at reference temperature T0,

T = input temperature in kelvin,

$T_0$ = reference temperature in kelvin,

C = Sutherland's constant for the gaseous material in question here C =120

$\mu _0=4\pi \times 10^{-7}$

$T_0$ = 291.15

$\mu =4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times \frac{291.15+120}{285.15+120}\times \left ( \frac{288.15}{291.15} \right )^{\frac{3}{2}}=1.812\times 10^{-5}Pa-s$ when T = 288.15 K

For kinematic viscosity :

$\nu = \frac {\mu} {\rho}$

$kinemic\ viscosity=\frac{1.812\times 10^{-5}}{1.23}=1.4732\times 10^{-5}m^2/sec$

A 600 MW power plant has an efficiency of 36 percent with 15

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

401.3 kg/s

Explanation:

The power plant has an efficiency of 36%. This means 64% of the heat form the source (q1) will become waste heat. Of the waste heat, 85% will be taken away by water (qw).

qw = 0.85 * q2

q2 = 0.64 * q1

p = 0.36 * q1

q1 = p /0.36

q2 = 0.64/0.36 * p

qw = 0.85 *0.64/0.36 * p

qw = 0.85 *0.64/0.36 * 600 = 907 MW

In evaporation water becomes vapor absorbing heat without going to the boiling point (similar to how sweating takes heat from the human body)

The latent heat for the vaporization of water is:

SLH = 2.26 MJ/kg

So, to dissipate 907 MW

G = qw * SLH = 907 / 2.26 = 401.3 kg/s
