In the first stage of a two-stage Carnot engine, energy is absorbed as heat Q1 at temperature T1 = 500 K, work W1 is done, and e

nergy is expelled as heat Q2 at a lower temperature T2 = 430 K. The second stage absorbs that energy as heat Q2, does work W2, and expels energy as heat Q3 at a still lower temperature T3 = 240 K. What is the efficiency of the engine?

Answer:

Efficiency = 52%

Explanation:

Given:

First stage

heat absorbed, Q₁ at temperature T₁ = 500 K

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

and the work done is W₁

Second stage

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

Heat released, Q₃ at temperature T₃ = 240 K

and the work done is W₂

Total work done, W = W₁ + W₂

Now,

The efficiency is given as:

\eta=\frac{\textup{Total\ work\ done}}{\textup{Energy\ provided}}

or

Work done = change in heat

thus,

W₁ = Q₁ - Q₂

W₂ = Q₂ - Q₃

Thus,

\eta=\frac{(Q_1-Q_2)\ +\ (Q_2-Q_3)}{Q_1}}

or

\eta=1-\frac{(Q_1-Q_3)}{Q_1}}

or

\eta=1-\frac{(Q_3)}{Q_1}}

also,

\frac{Q_1}{T_1}=\frac{Q_2}{T_2}=\frac{Q_3}{T_3}

or

\frac{T_3}{T_1}=\frac{Q_3}{Q_1}

thus,

\eta=1-\frac{(T_3)}{T_1}}

thus,

\eta=1-\frac{(240\ K)}{500\ K}}

or

\eta=0.52

or

Efficiency = 52%

Please help me to solve this and give me the summary of answer
Neko [114]
Using the principle of floatation.

u = w............(a)

Upthrust of fluid is equal to the weight of the object.

Let the volume of the wood be V.

The upthrust u, is related to the volume submerged in water, and that is 1/5 of it volume, that is (1/5)V = 0.2V

Formula for upthrust, u = vdg

where v = volume of fluid displaced
d = density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity

weight, w = mg
where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity

From (a)

                     u = w

                 vdg =  mg      Cancel out g

                   vd  =  m
 
The v  is equal to 0.2V, which is the submerged volume. Notice that the small letter v is volume of fluid displaced, and capital V is the volume of the solid.

d is density of fluid which is water in this case, 1000 kg/m³

         0.2V * 1000 =  m

           200V =  m

Hence the mass of the object is  200V  kg.

But Density of solid =  Mass of solid / Volume of solid

                                 =    200V / V

                                 =    200 kg/m³

Density of solid = 200 kg/m³

La ecuación de la posición de una esferita está dada por: r(t)=(2.Cos(πt) i-3.Sen(πt) j) (m) ¿Cuál es la velocidad de la esferit
katovenus [111]

Answer:

v = (-4.44 i^ + 6.66 j^ )  m/s, a_average =( 0 i^ -2π j^) m/s²

Explanation:

The expression left corresponds to an oscillatory movement (MAS), the speed is defined by

         v = dr / dt

the function of position

         r = 2 cos πt  i^  + 3 sin πt  j^

let us note that it is a movement in two dimensions

let's perform the derivative

          v = -2π sin πt  i^  + 3π cos πt  j^

we evaluate this expression for t = 0.25 s, remember that the angle is in radians

          v = -2π sin (π 0.25) i^ + 3π cos (π 0.25) j^

           v = (-4.44 i^ + 6.66 j^ )  m/s

To calculate the mean acceleration we use the expression

           a = (v_{f} - v_{o}) / Δt

 

indicates that the time is the first 3 s

       

we look for the initial velocity t = 0 s

           v₀ = 0 i ^ + 3π j ^

         

we look for the fine velocity, t = 3 s

          v_f = - 2π sin (π 3) + 3π cos (π 3) j ^

          v_f = 0 i ^ - 3π j ^

we calculate the average acceleration

            Δt = (3 -0) = 3 s

           a_average = (0-0) / 3 i ^ + (-3π - 3π) / 3

           a_average = (0 i ^ -2π j ^ ) m/s²

four children pull on the same stuffed toy at the same time , yet there is no net force on the toy.how is this possible?
Kay [80]
There was no net force on the stuffed toy, because the kids might have the same strength,  The same force is on both sides of it.  T<span>hey cancel each other out. They exert a force on the stuffed toy equal in strength but opposite in direction. The forces are balanced and the stuffed toy does not move.  </span>Its like a game of tug-o-war, but you and I have the same strength. the rope would be still and not moving.
