The water behind Hoover Dam in Nevada is 221 m higher than the Colorado River below it. At what rate must water pass through the

hydraulic turbines of this dam to produce 50 MW of power if the turbines are 100 percent efficient?

Answer:

23.06262m^3/s

Explanation:

The volume flow rate of the water is determined from the needed power output and the elevation difference:

Where, height (h) =221m, power(w)=50MW=50*10^6w

Density of water (ρ)=1000kg/m^3

Efficiency of turbine(η)=100%=1

V=W/ρηgh

=50*10^6m^3/(1)*(1000)*(9.81)*(221)s=23.06262m^3/s

The Stefan-Boltzmann law can be employed to estimate the rate of radiation of energy H from a surface, as in
Mazyrski [523]

Explanation:

A.

H = Aeσ^4

Using the stefan Boltzmann law

When we differentiate

dH/dT = 4AeσT³

dH/dT = 4(0.15)(0.9)(5.67)(10^-8)(650)³

= 8.4085

Exact error = 8.4085x20

= 168.17

H(650) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10^-8)(650)⁴

= 1366.376watts

B.

Verifying values

H(T+ΔT) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10)^-8(670)⁴

= 1542.468

H(T+ΔT) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10^-8)(630)⁴

= 1205.8104

Error = 1542.468-1205.8104/2

= 168.329

ΔT = 40

H(T+ΔT) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10)^-8(690)⁴

= 1735.05

H(T-ΔT) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10^-8)(610)⁴

= 1735.05-1059.83/2

= 675.22/2

= 337.61

kozerog [31]

Answer:

  • <em><u> Land, labor, and capital </u></em>

Explanation:

The <em>factors of production </em>are the resources that are used to produce goods and services.

By definition resources are scarce.

<em>Land</em> includes everything that comes from the land, that can be used as raw material to produce other materials; for instance, water, minerals, wood.

<em>Labor</em>  is the work done by anybody, not just at a factory but at any enterpise that produce a good or a service. For instance, the work done by a person in a bank or a restaurant.

<em>Capital</em> is the facilites (buildings), machinery, equipments, tools that the persons use to produce goods or services. For instance, a computer, a chemical reactor, or a pencil.

Nowadays, also entrepreneurship is included as a <em>factor of production</em>, since it is the innovative skill of the entrepeneurs to combine land, labor and capital what permit the production of good and services.
