Answer: The thermal efficiency of the engine is 41.09 %.

Explanation:

Efficiency is the ratio of the useful work performed to the total energy expended or heat taken in.

Formula for thermal efficiency of engine is

\eta=1- \frac{Q_2}{Q_1}\times 100

\eta = efficiency

{Q_2} = heat rejected = 266.7 kJ

{Q_1} = heat extracted = 452.8 kJ

Putting in the values we get:

\eta=1- \frac{266.7 kJ}{452.8 kJ }\times 100

\eta=0.41\times 100

\eta =41.09\%

The thermal efficiency of the engine is 41.09 %.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Water normally freezes at 0°C (32°F). Salt lowers the freezing temperature. (That is, it can remain a liquid at much lower temperatures.)

When sprinkled on ice, the salt lowers the freezing temperature of the water which effectively melts the ice when the salt dissolves into it. There is a limit to how low it can reduce the temperature, though. If the temperature drops below -9°C (15°F), it's too cold for the salt to dissolve into the ice.

When making ice cream, the salt lowers the temperature of the ice and water sufficiently enough to freeze the cream.

A grain silo is shown below:grain silo formed by cylinder with radius 5 feet and height 175 feet and a half sphere on the topwha
nekit [7.7K]
Find the volume of the bottom and top separately and then add them.
Cylinder volume is the area of the bottom times the height
(22/7)(5^2)•175=13750 ft^3

The volume of a sphere is
V=(4/3)(22/7)r^3
where r is the radius. Here that's also 5 since it fits on the cylinder.
Also we only want half the sphere so use
V=(2/3)(22/7)•5^3=261.9 ft^3
Which we round upto 262.
Now add the parts together
13750+262=14,012 ft^3
