A heat engine operating at steady state delivers a power output of 15.5 hp. The engine receives energy by heat transfer in the a

mount of Qh = 30.5 kJ during each cycle of operation from a high temperature thermal reservoir at Th = 940 K. The system is executing 50 cycles per minute. Determine the amount of work that is delivered during each cycle in kilojoules

Answer:

w_cycle = 13.68 KJ / cycle

Explanation:

Given:

- Steady power out-put W_out = 15.5 hp

- System executes 50 cycles/min

Find:

Determine the amount of work that is delivered during each cycle in kilo-joules

Solution:

- First we will convert the steady output into KW as follows:

                                 W_out = 15.5 hp

The conversion factor is 1.36 KW per hp.

                                 W_out = 15.5 [hp] * [KW] / 1.36 [hp]

                                 W_out = 11.4 [KW] or [KJ/s]

- Given that there are 50 cycles in 60 sec. We will use direct proportionality to calculate the number of cycles per second:

                       50 cycles   -----------> 60 s

                          x cycles   -----------> 1 s

                                 x = 50/60 = 0.8333 cycles /s

- Next we will compute the amount of work done per cycle:

                                 w_cycle = W_out / x

                                 w_cycle = 11.4 [KJ/s] * [s] / 0.8333 [cycles]

                                 w_cycle = 13.68 KJ / cycle

(1) A positive charge +3 C is separated from another positive charge of +5 C by a distance of 7m. What is the magnitude of the e
Aneli [31]

1. The magnitude of the electric force between the two charges is 2.8×10⁹ N (Option B)

2. The net charge on the molecule is -8×10⁻¹⁹ C (Option D)

3. The magnitude of the force between the charges is 16000 N (Option C)

4. The correct statement is: A neutral object has equal numbers of protons and electrons. (Option C)

<h3>1. How to determine the force</h3>
  • Charge 1 (q₁) = +3 C
  • Charge 2 (q₂) = +5 C
  • Electric constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²
  • Distance apart (r) = 7 m
  • Force (F) =?

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = (9×10⁹ × 3 × 5) / (7)²

F = 2.8×10⁹ N

<h3>2. How to determine the net charge on the molecule</h3>
  • Electron = 223 electrons
  • Proton = 218 protons
  • Net Charge =?

Charge = Proton - Electron

Charge = 218 - 223

Charge = -5 electrons

But

1 electron = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C

Thus,

Net Charge = -5 × 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C

Net Charge = -8×10⁻¹⁹ C

<h3>3. How to determine the force</h3>
  • Charge 1 (q₁) = 2×10⁻⁴ C
  • Charge 2 (q₂) = 8×10⁻⁴ C
  • Electric constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²
  • Distance apart (r) = 0.3 m
  • Force (F) =?

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = (9×10⁹ × 2×10⁻⁴ × 8×10⁻⁴) / (0.3)²

F = 16000 N

<h3>4. What is a neutral object?</h3>

A neutral object is an object having equal numbers of protons and electrons. For example, an object with 4 protons and 4 electrons is said to be neutral as illustrated below

  • Electron = 4 electrons
  • Proton = 4 protons
  • Net Charge =?

Charge = Proton - Electron

Charge = 4 - 4

Charge = 0 (neutral)

Thus, the correct statement about neutral object, given in the question is: A neutral object has equal numbers of protons and electrons (Option C)
