An inventor claims to have developed a power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 1175 K and 295 K, respectively,

that provides a steady-state power output of (a) 28 kW, (b) 31.2 kW, while receiving energy by heat transfer from the hot reservoir at the rate 150,000 kJ/h. Evaluate each claim

Answer:

<em>a) efficiency is equal to 67.2%, and this is lesser than the maximum obtainable efficiency, so this power output is possible.</em>

<em>b) efficiency is 75%, this is approximately equal to the maximum obtainable efficiency, but not more that it. This power output is also possible.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Cold reservoir temperature Tc = 295 K

Hot reservoir temperature Th = 1175 K

Energy input Q = 150000 K/h

Converting to kJ/s, Q  = 150000/3600 = 41.66 kJ/s

Maximum efficiency that can be obtained from this cycle = 1 - \frac{Tc}{Th}

==> 1 - \frac{295}{1175} = 0.748 ≅ 75%

also recall that actual cycle efficiency = \frac{W}{Q}

Where W is the energy output or work

a) for work of 28 kW,

eff =  \frac{W}{Q} =  \frac{28}{41.66} = 0.672 ≅ 67.2%

this is lesser than the maximum obtainable efficiency, so this power output is possible.

b) for work of 31.2 kW

eff =  \frac{W}{Q} =  \frac{31.2}{41.66} = 0.748 ≅ 75%

this is approximately equal to the maximum obtainable efficiency, but not more that it. This power output is possible.

NB: kW is also equal to kJ/S

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Companies are combining their online business activities with their existing physical presence in order to lower costs of their operations. When both these things are combined labor costs are reduced because with online presence the company has to have limited number of branches, inventory costs are reduced because additional inventories for every physical outlet is not required and delivery costs are reduced because now company don't have to supply the things to all the outlets on regular basis.

Trust of the people is also improved because mostly people are reluctant to order from the brands that only have their online store and donot have any physical presence. Value added services are provided by a company who have both online and offline presence like home delivery and customized offerings.

Using the results of the Arrhenius analysis (Ea=93.1kJ/molEa=93.1kJ/mol and A=4.36×1011M⋅s−1A=4.36×1011M⋅s−1), predict the rate
uysha [10]

Answer:

k = 4.21 * 10⁻³(L/(mol.s))

Explanation:

We know that

k = Ae^{-E/RT} ------------------- euqation (1)

K= rate constant;

A = frequency factor = 4.36 10^11 M⁻¹s⁻¹;

E = activation energy = 93.1kJ/mol;

R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K;

T= temperature = 332 K;

Put values in equation 1.

k = 4.36*10¹¹(M⁻¹s⁻¹)e^{[(-93.1*10^3)(J/mol)]/[(8.314)(J/mol.K)(332K)}

k = 4.2154 * 10⁻³(M⁻¹s⁻¹)

here M =mol/L

k = 4.21 * 10⁻³((mol/L)⁻¹s⁻¹)

 or

k = 4.21 * 10⁻³((L/mol)s⁻¹)

or

k = 4.21 * 10⁻³(L/(mol.s))
