Which of the following places would u expect to have the warmest climate ?

Why is water always used in energy generation (water -> steam -> turbine) instead of a liquid with a lower specific heat c

frez [133]

There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.

Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.

how much power is radiated as a sound from a band whose intensity is 1.6x10-3 w/m2 at a distance of 12m

2.89watts.

<h3>What is meant by sound intensity?</h3>

The average rate at which sound energy moves across a unit area normal to a given direction is used to determine a sound's intensity. This rate is generally stated in ergs per second per square centimeter.
Decibels are the units used to measure sound intensity, often known as sound power or sound pressure. The decibel (dB) unit is named after Alexander Graham Bell, who also created the audiometer and the telephone. An audiometer is a tool to gauge a person's hearing capacity for various noises.
Our ability to measure the flow of sound energy as a time-averaged vector quantity makes sound intensity measuring an effective method. We can identify sound sources and tell direct sound from reverberant sound in a room using the characteristics of sound intensity.

How much power is radiated as a sound from a band whose intensity is 1.6x10-3 w/m2 at a distance of 12m:

Formula: $I\frac{P}{4\pi r^{2} }$
