An electrical power plant manages to transfer 88 percent of the heat produced in the burning of fossil fuel to convert water to

steam. Of the heat carried by the steam, 40 percent is converted to the mechanical energy of the spinning turbine. Which best describes the overall efficiency of the heat-to-work conversion in the plant

An electrical power plant manages to send 88% of the heat produced in the burning of fossil

fuel into the water-to-steam conversion. Of the heat carried by the steam, 40% is converted to

the mechanical energy of the spinning turbine. Which of the following choices best describes

the overall efficiency of the heat-to-work conversion in the plant (as a percentage)?

a. greater than 88%

b. 64%

c. less than 40%

d. 40%

Answer:

Option C is correct

Explanation:

This is the final heat transfer into mechanical energy / total energy production by fossil fuel

Let x = total heat produced by fossil fuel

-88% of x was used to convert water to steam so therefore

.88 *x = 0.88x

- 40% of heat in steam was converted to final mechanical work so therefore

0.4 * 0.88x = 0.352x

So therefore:

Overall efficiency = (0.352x/ x ) * 100 = 35.2%

So therefore option C is correct

Jeff's body contains about 5.46 L of blood that has a density of 1060 kg/m3. Approximately 45.0% (by mass) of the blood is cells
barxatty [35]

Answer:

a

The mass of blood is m= 5.7876kg

b

The number of blood cells is  N_t=1.04*10^{13}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

         The volume of blood  is  V_b = 5.46 \ L = \frac{5.46}{1000} = 0.00546m^3

         The density of the blood is  \rho_b = 1060 kg/m^3

         % of blood  that is  cell is  = 45.0%

        % of the blood that is  plasma is  = 55.0%

        density of blood cell is  \rho_d = 1125kg/m^3

        % of cell that are white is  = 1%

        % of cell that is red is  = 99%

        The diameter of the red blood cell is  = 7.5 \mu m = 7.5*10^{-6}m

         The radius of the red blood cell is  = \frac{7.5*10^{-6}}{2} = 3.75*10^{-6}m

Generally the mass is mathematically  represented as

               m = \rho_b * V_b

Substituting value

            m = 1060 * 0.00546

               m= 5.7876kg

Mass of cell is m_c = 45% of m

                         = 0.45 * 5,7876

                         = 2.60442 kg

The volume of cells is V_c = \frac{m_c}{\rho_d}

                                      = \frac{2.60442}{1125}

                                      = 2.315 *10^{-3} m^3

The volume of white blood cell is V_w = 1% of volume of cells

                                                         = \frac{1}{100} * 2.315*10^{-3}

                                                       = 2.315*10^{-5}m^3

The volume of a single cell is V_s = 4 \pi r^3

                                                                        = 4*(3.142) * (3.75*10^{-6})^3

                                                                        = 2.21*10^{-16}m^3

The volume of red blood cells is V_r = V_c - V_w

                                                           =2.315*10^{-3} - 2.315*10^{-5}

                                                           = 2.29*10^{-3}m^3

The number of red blood cell is  = \frac{V_r}{V_s}

                                                     = \frac{2.29 *10^{-3}}{2.21*10^{-16}}

                                                    = 1.037*10^{13}

The Number of white blood cell is   =\frac{V_w}{V_s}

                                                          = \frac{2.315 * 10^{-5}}{2.21*10^{-16}}

                                                          = 1.04*10^{11}

The total number of blood cells is  N_t= 1.037*10^{13} + 1.04*10^{11}

                                                        N_t=1.04*10^{13}
