Answer:

0.163 MW

Explanation:

To get the minimum rate of energy rehection by heat transfer to cold reservoir, it implies that the power cycle operates in reversible cycle. The efficiency of reversible cycle whose value will be same as efficiency of power cycle will be given by

Efficiency of reversible cycle

n= (Th-Tc)/Th where T represent temperature, n efficiency, subscripts h and c hot and cold respectively

Substituting 500 and 310 for hot and cold temperatures respectively then efficiency

n=(500-310)/500=0.38

Efficiency of power cycle, n= Power output/Qh

Qh= 0.1/0.38= 0.263

Net power output, W= Qh- Qc

Qc=Qh-W= 0.263-0.1=0.163 MW

Two common methods of improving fuel efficiency of a vehicle are to reduce the drag coefficient and the frontal area of the vehi

qaws [65]

Answer:

$\Delta V = 209.151\,L$ , $\Delta C = 217.517\,USD$

Explanation:

The drag force is equal to:

$F_{D} = C_{D}\cdot \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho_{air}\cdot v^{2}\cdot A$

Where $C_{D}$ is the drag coefficient and $A$ is the frontal area, respectively. The work loss due to drag forces is:

$W = F_{D}\cdot \Delta s$

The reduction on amount of fuel is associated with the reduction in work loss:

$\Delta W = (F_{D,1} - F_{D,2})\cdot \Delta s$

Where $F_{D,1}$ and $F_{D,2}$ are the original and the reduced frontal areas, respectively.

$\Delta W = C_{D}\cdot \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho_{air}\cdot v^{2}\cdot (A_{1}-A_{2})\cdot \Delta s$

The change is work loss in a year is:

$\Delta W = (0.3)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot (1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}})\cdot (27.778\,\frac{m}{s})^{2}\cdot [(1.85\,m)\cdot (1.75\,m) - (1.50\,m)\cdot (1.75\,m)]\cdot (25\times 10^{6}\,m)$

$\Delta W = 2.043\times 10^{9}\,J$

$\Delta W = 2.043\times 10^{6}\,kJ$

The change in chemical energy from gasoline is:

$\Delta E = \frac{\Delta W}{\eta}$

$\Delta E = \frac{2.043\times 10^{6}\,kJ}{0.3}$

$\Delta E = 6.81\times 10^{6}\,kJ$

The changes in gasoline consumption is:

$\Delta m = \frac{\Delta E}{L_{c}}$

$\Delta m = \frac{6.81\times 10^{6}\,kJ}{44000\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }$

$\Delta m = 154.772\,kg$

$\Delta V = \frac{154.772\,kg}{0.74\,\frac{kg}{L} }$

$\Delta V = 209.151\,L$

Lastly, the money saved is:

$\Delta C = \left(\frac{154.772\,kg}{0.74\,\frac{kg}{L} }\right)\cdot (1.04\,\frac{USD}{L} )$

$\Delta C = 217.517\,USD$

A group of n Ghostbusters is battling n ghosts. Each Ghostbuster carries a proton pack, which shoots a stream at a ghost, eradic

babunello [35]

Answer:

Using the above algorithm matches one pair of Ghostbuster and Ghost. On each side of the line formed by the pairing, the number of Ghostbusters and Ghosts are the same, so use the algorithm recursively on each side of the line to find pairings. The worst case is when, after each iteration, one side of the line contains no Ghostbusters or Ghosts. Then, we need n/2 total iterations to find pairings, giving us an P( $n^{2} lg n$ )- time algorithm.

A cone penetration test was carried out in normally consolidated sand, for which the results are summarized below: Depth (m) Con

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing equation related to the question

answer : 40.389° , 38.987° , 38° , 39.869° , 40.265°

Explanation:

<u>Determine the friction angle at each depth</u>

attached below is the detailed solution

To calculate the vertical stress = depth * unit weight of sand

also inverse of Tan = Tan^-1

also qc is in Mpa while σ0 is in kPa

Friction angle at each depth

2 meters = 40.389°

3.5 meters = 38.987°

5 meters = 38.022°

6.5 meters = 39.869°

8 meters = 40.265°

On highways, the far left lane is usually the _____. A. emergency lane B. merge lane C. slowest D. fastest

slamgirl [31]

On highways, the far left lane is usually the<u> fastest</u> moving traffic.

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the most part, the right lane of a freeway is for entering and leaving the traffic stream. It is an arranging path, for use toward the start and end of your interstate run. The center paths are for through traffic, and the left path is for passing. On the off chance that you are not passing somebody, try not to be driving in the left path.

Regular practice and most law on United States expressways is that the left path is saved for passing and quicker moving traffic, and that traffic utilizing the left path must respect traffic wishing to surpass.
