An inventor tries to sell you his new heat engine that takes in 40 J of heat at 87°C on each cycle, expels 30 J at 27°C, and doe

s 10 J of work. Would it be wise to invest in this engine?

Answer:

NOT WISE

Explanation:

given,

T₁ = 87⁰C  =  273 + 87 = 360 K

T₂ = 27⁰C  =  273 + 27 = 300 K

work output given = 10 J

efficiency will be equal to :

   \eta = 1 - \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\\\eta = 1 - \dfrac{300}{360}\\\eta = 0.166

output delivery =  η ₓ input

                          =  0.166 ₓ 40  

                          = 6.66 J

hence, the output of new engine  is less than the old one so, investing in new engine will not be feasible.

What's a disadvantage of highest MERV-rated filters?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

3) the pressure drop across high MERV filters is significant.

Explanation:

MERV (Minimum-Efficiency Reporting Value) is used to measure the efficiency of filter to remove particles. A filter of high MERV can filter smaller particles but this causes an increase in reduced air flow that is an increase in pressure drop. High MERV filters capture more particles causing them to get congested faster and thereby increasing pressure drop.

Excessive pressure drop can cause overheating and lead to damage of the filter. The pressure drop can be reduced by increasing the surface area of the filter.

According to the decreasing order of toughness. list the following materials (note: the steels are assumed to have no cold work
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

1090 Steel >1040 Steel > Pure aluminium >Diamond.

Explanation:

Toughness:

  Toughness can be define as the are of load -deflection diagram up to fracture point.

Modulus of toughness can be defines as the area of stress-strain diagram up to fracture point.Modulus of toughness is the property of material.

So the decreasing order of toughness can be given as follows

1090 Steel >1040 Steel > Pure aluminium >Diamond.
