Water evaporating from a pond does so as if it were diffusing across an air film 0.15 cm thick. The diffusion coefficient of wat

er in 20 C air is about 0.25 cm2/sec. If the air out of the film is fifty percent saturated, how fast will the water level drop in a day

Answer:

1.25 cm/day

Explanation:

An air thickness , (l) = 0.15 cm

Air Temperature =

(T_a)=20^0C = (20+273)K\\(T_a)=293K

Mass Diffusion coefficient (D) = 0.25cm^2/sec

If the air pressure (P_a) = 0.5 P_{sat}

We are to determine how fast will the water (H_2O) level drop in a day.

From the property of air  at T = 20° C

P_{sat} = 2.34 from saturated water properties.

The mass flow of (H_2O)  can be calculated as:

H_2O = \frac{D}{\phi} \delta C

where:

\delta C = \frac{P_{sat}*P_a}{RT }

R(constant) = 8.314 kJ/mol.K

\delta C = \frac{2.34*0.5}{8.314*293 }

\delta C = 4.803*10^{-4}\\ \delta C =0.48*10^{-3} mol/m^3\\ \delta C = 0.48*10^{-6} mol/cm^3

Since 1 mole = 18 cm ³ of water

0.48*10^{-6}mol/cm^3 will be: (0.48*10^{-6}mol/cm^3 *18)cm^3/cm^3

\delta C = 8.64 * 10^{-6}

Again:

H_2O = \frac{D}{\phi} \delta C

= \frac{0.25}{0.15}*8.69*10^{-6} \frac{cm^2/sec}{cm}

=1.4481*10^{-5} \frac{cm^2/sec}{cm}

Converting the above value to cm/day: we have:

1.448*10^{-5}*3600*24\frac{cm}{s}*\frac{s}{yr}*\frac{yr}{day}

= 1.25 cm/day

∴ the rate at which  the water level drop in a day = 1.25 cm/day

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Energy produce in one year =20.49 x 10¹⁶ J/year

Explanation:

Given that

Plant produce 6.50 × 10⁸ J/s of energy.

It produce  6.50 × 10⁸ J in 1 s.

We know that

1 year = 365 days

1 days = 24 hr

1 hr = 3600 s

1 year = 365 x 24 x 3600 s

1 year = 31536000 s

So energy produce in 1 year = 31536000 x  6.50 × 10⁸ J/year

          Energy produce in one year = 204984 x 10¹² J/year

          Energy produce in one year =20.49 x 10¹⁶ J/year

Is the COP of a heat pump always larger than 1?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes it is true that COP of heat pump always greater than 1.But the COP of refrigeration can be greater or less than 1.

We know that

COP of heat pump=  1 + COP of refrigeration

It is clear that COP can not be negative .So from the above expression we can say that COP of heat pump is always greater than one.

A two-dimensional flow field described by

Answer:

the answer is

Explanation:

<h2>  We now focus on purely two-dimensional flows, in which the velocity takes the form </h2><h2>u(x, y, t) = u(x, y, t)i + v(x, y, t)j. (2.1) </h2><h2>With the velocity given by (2.1), the vorticity takes the form </h2><h2>ω = ∇ × u = </h2><h2> </h2><h2>∂v </h2><h2>∂x − </h2><h2>∂u </h2><h2>∂y </h2><h2>k. (2.2) </h2><h2>We assume throughout that the flow is irrotational, i.e. that ∇ × u ≡ 0 and hence </h2><h2>∂v </h2><h2>∂x − </h2><h2>∂u </h2><h2>∂y = 0. (2.3) </h2><h2>We have already shown in Section 1 that this condition implies the existence of a velocity </h2><h2>potential φ such that u ≡ ∇φ, that is </h2><h2>u = </h2><h2>∂φ </h2><h2>∂x, v = </h2><h2>∂φ </h2><h2>∂y .
