Metals in general, are good heat conductors
Energy travels with sound waves.
Answer:
State A = piece of metal; State B = air
Explanation:
For the three main states of matter here's how it breaks down.
Solid - Cannot be compressed and retains its shape
Liquid - Cannot be compressed and does not retain its shape
Gas - Compressible and does not retain its shape.
Knowing this State A has to be solid. Only one of the options has A as a solid, so that's the answer. Worth knowing state B is a gas though, only one compressible, just like solid is the only one that retains its shape.
Given:
Area of pool = 3m×4m
Diameter of orifice = 0.076m
Outlet Velocity = 6.3m/s
Accumulation velocity = 1.5cm/min
Required:
Inlet flowrate
Solution:
The problem can be solved by this general formula.
Accumulation = Inlet flowrate - Outlet flowrate
Accumulation velocity × Area of pool = Inlet flowrate - Outlet velocity × Area of orifice
First, we need to convert the units of the accumulation velocity into m/s to be consistent.
Accumulation velocity = 1.5cm/min × (1min/60s)×(1m/100cm)
Accumulation velocity = 0.00025 m/s
We then calculate the area of the pool and the area of the orifice by:
Area of pool = 3 × 4 m²
Area of pool = 12m²
Area of orifice = πd²/4 = π(0.076m)²/4
Area of orifice = 0.00454m²
Since we have all we need, we plug in the values to the general equation earlier
Accumulation velocity × Area of pool = Inlet flowrate - Outlet velocity × Area of orifice
0.00025 m/s × 12m² = Inlet flowrate - 6.3m/s × 0.00454m²
Transposing terms,
Inlet flowrate = 0.316 m³/s
Answer:
(a) Heat transfer to the environment is: 1 MJ and (b) The efficiency of the engine is: 41.5%
Explanation:
Using the formula that relate heat and work from the thermodynamic theory as:
solving to Q_out we get:
this is the heat out of the cycle or engine, so it will be heat transfer to the environment. The thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle gives us: 
where T_Low is the lowest cycle temperature and T_High the highest, we need to remember that a Carnot cycle depends only on the absolute temperatures, if you remember the convertion of K=°C+273.15 so T_Low=150+273.15=423.15 K and T_High=450+273.15=723.15K and replacing the values in the equation we get:
