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

How many types of arcs do we have in AutoCad? O a.9 O b. 10 Oc. 12 O d. 11​
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Letter D

Explanation:

AutoCAD provides eleven different ways to create arcs. The different options are used based on the geometry conditions of the design. To create an arc, you can specify various combinations of center, endpoint, start point, radius, angle, chord length, and direction values.

Intravenous infusions are usually driven by gravity by hanging the bottle at a sufficient height to counteract the blood pressur
Bingel [31]

Answer:

(a) BP = 11.99 KPa

(b) h = 2 m

Explanation:

(a)

Since, the fluid pressure and blood pressure balance each other. Therefore:

BP = ρgh

where,

BP = Blood Pressure

ρ = density of fluid = 1020 kg/m³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height of fluid = 1.2 m

Therefore,

BP = (1020 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)(1.2 m)

<u>BP = 11995.2 Pa = 11.99 KPa</u>

(b)

Again using the equation:

P = ρgh

with data:

P = Gauge Pressure = 20 KPa = 20000 Pa

ρ = density of fluid = 1020 kg/m³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height of fluid = ?

Therefore,

20000 Pa = (1020 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)h

<u>h = 2 m</u>

Write a method printShampooInstructions(), with int parameter numCycles, and void return type. If numCycles is less than 1, prin
kirill [66]

Answer:

// The method is defined with a void return type

// It takes a parameter of integer called numCycles

// It is declared static so that it can be called from a static method

public static void printShampooInstructions(int numCycles){

// if numCycles is less than 1, it display "Too few"

   if (numCycles < 1){

       System.out.println("Too few.");

   }

// else if numCycles is less than 1, it display "Too many"

    else if (numCycles > 4){

       System.out.println("Too many.");

   }

// else it uses for loop to print the number of times to display

// Lather and rinse

  else {

       for(int i = 1; i <= numCycles; i++){

           System.out.println(i + ": Lather and rinse.");

       }

       System.out.println("Done");

       

   }

}

Explanation:

The code snippet is written in Java. The method is declared static so that it can be called from another static method. It has a return type of void. It takes an integer as parameter.

It display "Too few" if the passed integer is less than 1. Or it display "Too much" if the passed integer is more than 4. Else it uses for loop to display "Lather and rinse" based on the passed integer.
