The ratio of the speed of light v in a medium to the speed of light in a vacuum c is called its Refractive Index n
v/c=n
Different substances have different Refractive Indices (plural of Index). Values are always bigger than 1.
Refractive index of water is 1.33
Refractive index of glass is about 1.4

An ordinary egg can be approximated as a 5.5-cm diameter sphere. The egg is initially at a uniform temperature of 8°C and is dro

kupik [55]

Answer:

a) $Q_{in} = 13.742\,kW$ , b) $\Delta S = 370.15\,\frac{kJ}{K}$

Explanation:

a) The heat transfered to the egg is computed by the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$Q_{in} +U_{sys,1} - U_{sys,2} = 0$

$Q_{in} = U_{sys,2} - U_{sys,1}$

$Q_{in} = \rho_{egg}\cdot \left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot r^{3}\right)\cdot c \cdot (T_{2}-T_{1})$

$Q_{in} = \left(1020\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\right)\cdot (0.025\,m)^{3}\cdot \left(3.32\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} \right)\cdot (70\,^{\textdegree}C - 8\,^{\textdegree}C)$

$Q_{in} = 13.742\,kW$

b) The amount of entropy generation is determined by the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

$\Delta S = \frac{Q_{in}}{T_{in}}$

$\Delta S = \frac{13.742\,kJ}{370.15\,K}$

$\Delta S = 370.15\,\frac{kJ}{K}$

Here is something to blow your mind. In one slice of "everything" pizza there are 650 Calories (1000 chemistry calories). That e

amid [387]

Answer:

Number of slices of pizza is 993.

Explanation:

It is given that, in one slice of "everything" pizza there are 650 Calories. The conversion factor from calories to joules is :

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

650 calories = 2719.6 joules

Total energy in the pizza, E = 2700000 J

Let there are n number of slices of pizza. It is given by :

$n=\dfrac{2700000}{2719.6}$

n = 992.79

n = 993

So, there are 993 slices of pizza. Hence, this is the required solution.
