Answer:

The correct answer is option 'a': Thermal and Electrical energy

Explanation:

We know that the solar radiation that we receive from sun provides us heat. Thus the solar radiation is a natural source of thermal energy which can be utilized in solar cooker's to cook food or to warm water to generate steam in Solar thermal power plants. The steam generated is used to drive a turbine and hence produce electricity.

As we know that solar radiation is converted into directly usable forms of energy by the solar panels. The solar panels work on the principle of photo-electric effect in which light energy is directly converted into electrical energy to run our electrical devices at home such as light bulbs, fans, e.t.c. An excellent application of this principle is the international space station that orbits the earth and is fully powered by solar energy.

.a. What size vessel holds 2 kg water at 80°C such that 70% is vapor? What are the pressure and internal energy? b. A 1.6 m3 ves
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Part a: The volume of vessel is 4.7680m^3 and total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

Part b: The quality of the mixture is 90.3%  or 0.903, temperature is 120 °C and total internal energy is 4660 kJ.

Explanation:

Part a:

As per given data

m=2 kg

T=80 °C =80+273=353 K

Dryness=70% vapour =0.7

<em>From the steam tables at 80 °C</em>

Specific volume of saturated vapours=v_g=3.40527 m^3/kg

Specific volume of saturated liquid=v_f=0.00102 m^3/kg

Now the relation  of total specific volume for a specific dryness value is given as

                                  v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)

Substituting the values give

v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)\\v=0.00102+0.7(3.40527-0.00102)\\v_f=2.38399 m^3/kg

Now the volume of vessel is given as

v=\frac{V}{m}\\V=v \times m\\V=2.38399 \times 2\\V=4.7680 m^3

So the volume of vessel is 4.7680m^3.

Similarly for T=80 and dryness ratio of 0.7 from the table of steam

Pressure=P=47.4 kPa

Specific internal energy is given as u=1840 kJ/kg

So the total internal energy is given as

u=\frac{U}{m}\\U=u \times m\\U=1840 \times 2\\U=3680 kJ

The total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

So the volume of vessel is 4.7680m^3 and total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

Part b

Volume of vessel is given as 1.6

mass is given as 2 kg

Pressure is given as 0.2 MPa or 200 kPa

Now the specific volume is given as

v=\frac{V}{m}\\v=\frac{1.6}{2}\\v=0.8 m^3/kg

So from steam tables for Pressure=200 kPa and specific volume as 0.8 gives

Temperature=T=120 °C

Quality=x=0.903 ≈ 90.3%

Specific internal energy =u=2330 kJ/kg

The total internal energy is given as

u=\frac{U}{m}\\U=u \times m\\U=2330 \times 2\\U=4660 kJ

So the quality of the mixture is 90.3%  or 0.903, temperature is 120 °C and total internal energy is 4660 kJ.

An 800-kg drag racer accelerates from rest to 390 km/hr in 5.8 s. What is the net impulse applied to the racer in the first 5.8
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Impulse =14937.9 N

tangential force =14937.9 N

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of car m= 800 kg

initial velocity u=0

Final velocity v=390 km/hr

Final velocity v=108.3 m/s

So change in linear momentum P= m x v

           P= 800 x 108.3

 P=86640 kg.m/s

We know that impulse force F= P/t

So F= 86640/5.8 N

F=14937.9 N

Impulse force F= 14937.9 N

We know that

v=u + at

108.3 = 0 + a x 5.8

a=18.66\ m/s^2

So tangential force F= m x a

F=18.66 x 800

F=14937.9 N
