Answer:

Efficent at low speeds.

Explanation:

Since water is 1,000 times more dense than air, electricity can generated from tides much more efficiently at slower speeds than wind turbines can.

5. A typical paper clip weighs 0.59 g and consists of BCC iron. Calculate (a) the number of

marta [7]

Answer:

(a) $3.185*10^{21} cells$

(b) $6.37*10^{21} atoms$

Explanation:

(a)

Volume, V of unit cell

$V=(2.866*10^{-8})^{3}=2.354*10^{-23}$

Number of unit cells, N

$N=\frac {W_{mat}}{V\rho_{mat}}$ Where $W_{mat}$ is weight of material and $\rho_{mat}$ is density of material

$N=\frac{0.59}{7.87*(2.354*10^{-23}}=3.185*10^{21} cells$

(b)

Number of atoms in paper clip

This is a product of number of unit cells and number of atoms per cell

Since iron has 2 atoms per cell

Number of atoms of iron= $3.185*10^{21} cells*2 atoms/cell=6.37*10^{21} atoms$

What is the maximum thermal efficiency possible for a power cycle operating between 600P'c and 110°C? a). 47% b). 56% c). 63% d)

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

(b) 56%

Explanation:

the maximum thermal efficiency is possible only when power cycle is reversible in nature and when power cycle is reversible in nature the thermal efficiency depends on the temperature

here we have given T₁ (Higher temperature)= 600+273=873

lower temperature T₂=110+273=383

Efficiency of power cycle is given by =1- $\frac{T2}{T1}$

=1- $\frac{383}{873}$

=1-0.43871

=.56

=56%

The diameter of an extruder barrel = 85 mm and its length = 2.00 m. The screw rotates at 55 rev/min, its channel depth = 8.0 mm,

babunello [35]

Answer:

Qx = 9.10 $9.10^5 \times 10^{-6}$ m³/s

Explanation:

given data

diameter = 85 mm

length = 2 m

depth = 9mm

N = 60 rev/min

pressure p = 11 × $10^6$ Pa

viscosity n = 100 Pas

angle = 18°

so Qd will be

Qd = 0.5 × π² ×D²×dc × sinA × cosA ..............1

put here value and we get

Qd = 0.5 × π² × ( 85 $\times 10^{-3}$ )²× 9 $\times 10^{-3}$ × sin18 × cos18

Qd = 94.305 × $10^{-6}$ m³/s

and

Qb = p × π × D × dc³ × sin²A ÷ 12 × n × L ............2

Qb = 11 × $10^{6}$ × π × 85 $\times 10^{-3}$ × ( 9 $\times 10^{-3}$ )³ × sin²18 ÷ 12 × 100 × 2

Qb = 85.2 × $10^{-6}$ m³/s

so here

volume flow rate Qx = Qd - Qb ..............3

Qx = 94.305 × $10^{-6}$ - 85.2 × $10^{-6}$

Qx = 9.10 $9.10^5 \times 10^{-6}$ m³/s
