Answer:

second-law efficiency  = 62.42 %

Explanation:

given data

temperature T1 = 1200°C = 1473 K

temperature T2 = 20°C  =  293 K

thermal efficiency η = 50 percent

solution

as we know that thermal efficiency of reversible heat engine between same  temp reservoir

so here

efficiency ( reversible ) η1 = 1 - \frac{T2}{T1}      ............1

efficiency ( reversible ) η1  = 1 - \frac{293}{1473}  

so efficiency ( reversible ) η1  = 0.801

so here second-law efficiency of this power plant is

second-law efficiency = \frac{thernal\ efficiency}{0.801}

second-law efficiency = \frac{50}{0.801}  

second-law efficiency  = 62.42 %

Answer: Both Technicians

Explanation:

When testing a spring break it is advisable to Step on and off the brake, with the engine off, the parking brake knob is expected to pop out when air pressure falls between 20-40 psi.

Go under the vehicle and pull the spring brakes.

Turn on the engine back and pump the brake pedal down to the floor. To test the spring breaks

Consider a sinusoidal oscillator consisting of an amplifier having a frequency-independent gain A (where A is positive) and a se
mafiozo [28]

Sinusoidal oscillator frequency of oscillation is given below.

Explanation:

The criterion for a stable oscillator is given in the equation

l A(jw)β(jw) l ≥ 1

In this task A represents the gain of the amplifier , and

β represents gain/attenuation of the second-order bandpass filter.

This sinusoidal oscillation is a special edge case where the product is equal to one.

So the condition is A-K=1

to obtain the sustained oscillations at the desired frequency of oscillations, the product of the voltage gain A and the feedback gain β must be one or greater than one. In this case, the amplifier gain A must be 3. Hence, to satisfy the product condition, feedback gain β must be 1/3.

What's the relationship between energy and time<br>​
boyakko [2]

Answer:

The relationship between power, energy, and time can be described by the following equation : P = Δ E s y s Δ t. P is the average power output, measured in watts (W) ΔEsys is the net change in energy of the system in joules (J) - also known as work. Δt is the duration - how long the energy use takes - measured in seconds (s).
