<span>Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind.</span>
Input heat, Qin = 4 x 10⁵ J
Output heat, Qout = 3.5 x 10⁵ J
From the first Law of thermodynamics, obtain useful work performed as
W = Qin - Qout
= 0.5 x 10⁵ J
By definition, the efficiency is
η = W/Qin
= 100*(0.5 x 10⁵/4 x 10⁵)
= 12.5%
Answer: The efficiency is 12.5%
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
(a) 3.96 x 10⁵C
(b) 4.752 x 10⁶ J
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
(a) The given charge (Q) is 110 A·h (ampere hour)
Converting this to A·s (ampere second) gives the number of coulombs the charge represents. This is done as follows;
=> Q = 110A·h
=> Q = 110 x 1A x 1h [1 hour = 3600 seconds]
=> Q = 110 x A x 3600s
=> Q = 396000A·s
=> Q = 3.96 x 10⁵A·s = 3.96 x 10⁵C
Therefore, the number of coulombs of charge is 3.96 x 10⁵C
(b) The energy (E) involved in the process is given by;
E = Q x V -----------------(i)
Where;
Q = magnitude of the charge = 3.96 x 10⁵C
V = electric potential = 12V
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
E = 3.96 x 10⁵ x 12
E = 47.52 x 10⁵ J
E = 4.752 x 10⁶ J
Therefore, the amount of energy involved is 4.752 x 10⁶ J
Answer: 361° C
Explanation:
Given
Initial pressure of the gas, P1 = 294 kPa
Final pressure of the gas, P2 = 500 kPa
Initial temperature of the gas, T1 = 100° C = 100 + 273 K = 373 K
Final temperature of the gas, T2 = ?
Let us assume that the gas is an ideal gas, then we use the equation below to solve
T2/T1 = P2/P1
T2 = T1 * (P2/P1)
T2 = (100 + 273) * (500 / 294)
T2 = 373 * (500 / 294)
T2 = 373 * 1.7
T2 = 634 K
T2 = 634 K - 273 K = 361° C
