Fossil Fuels:

Coal and Oil

How they are formed:

Coal is formed from big plants, from a long time ago. When the big plants died, they formed layers at the bottom of swamps and the dirt began to pile up and it formed Coal.

Oil is a fossil fuel that has been formed from a large amount tiny plants and animals such as algae and zooplankton.

What is the direction of friction if a ball is rolling on the ground?

morpeh [17]

The direction is the same as the direction the ball is moving in. Because of the rolling of the ball, the direction of movement of the surface of the ball is opposite the overall direction of the ball. Since friction will oppose the direction of movement of the surface of the ball, it is in the same direction as the net direction of movement of the ball.

A voltage V is applied to the primary coil of a step-up transformer with a 3:1 ratio of turns between its primary and secondary

Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

Let $N_p\ and\ N_s$ are the number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

$\dfrac{N_p}{N_s}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

A resistor R connected to the secondary dissipates a power $P_s=100\ W$

For a transformer, $\dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{V_s}{V_p}$

$V_s=(\dfrac{N_s}{N_p})V_p$

$V_s=3V_p$ ...............(1)

The power dissipated through the secondary coil is :

$P_s=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}$

$100\ W=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}$

$V_p^2=\dfrac{100R}{9}$ .............(2)

Let $N_p'\ and\ N_s'$ are the new number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

$\dfrac{N_p'}{N_s'}=\dfrac{1}{24}$

New voltage is :

$V_s'=(\dfrac{N_s'}{N_p'})V_p'$

$V_s'=24V_p$ ...............(3)

So, new power dissipated is $P_s'$

$P_s'=\dfrac{V_s'^2}{R}$

$P_s'=\dfrac{(24V_p)^2}{R}$

$P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(V_p)^2}{R}$

$P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(\dfrac{100R}{9})}{R}$

$P_s'=6400\ Watts$

So, the new power dissipated by the same resistor is 6400 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

Current evidence suggests that many massive jovian planets orbit at very close orbital distances to their stars. How do we think

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

In the Solar system, the Jovian planets are farther from the Sun. Majority of the extrasolar Jovian planets are closer to their stars. These are known as "Hot Jupiters". From the studies, the reason for the existence of massive Jovian planets to be closer to their star is found to be the gravitational interaction of these planets with other massive planets which pushes them closer to their stars. These planets are formed beyond the frost line initially but later on migrate inwards.

Air enters a turbine operating at steady state at 8 bar, 1600 K and expands to 0.8 bar. The turbine is well insulated, and kinet

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

the maximum theoretical work that could be developed by the turbine is 775.140kJ/kg

Explanation:

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the adiabatic process that relate the temperature and pressure variables

Mathematically this can be determined as

$\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{(\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma})}$

Where

Temperature at inlet of turbine

Temperature at exit of turbine

Pressure at exit of turbine

The steady flow Energy equation for an open system is given as follows:

$m_i = m_0 = mm(h_i+\frac{V_i^2}{2}+gZ_i)+Q = m(h_0+\frac{V_0^2}{2}+gZ_0)+W$

Where,

m = mass

m(i) = mass at inlet

m(o)= Mass at outlet

h(i)= Enthalpy at inlet

h(o)= Enthalpy at outlet

W = Work done

Q = Heat transferred

v(i) = Velocity at inlet

v(o)= Velocity at outlet

Z(i)= Height at inlet

Z(o)= Height at outlet

For the insulated system with neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects

$h_i = h_0 + WW = h_i -h_0$

Using the relation T-P we can find the final temperature:

$\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{(\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma})}\\$

$\frac{T_2}{1600K} = (\frac{0.8bar}{8nar})^{(\frac{1.4-1}{1.4})}\\ = 828.716K$

From this point we can find the work done using the value of the specific heat of the air that is 1,005kJ / kgK

$W = h_i -h_0W = C_p (T_1-T_2)W = 1.005(1600 - 828.716)W = 775.140kJ/Kg$

the maximum theoretical work that could be developed by the turbine is 775.140kJ/kg
