Answer:

401.3 kg/s

Explanation:

The power plant has an efficiency of 36%. This means 64% of the heat form the source (q1) will become waste heat. Of the waste heat, 85% will be taken away by water (qw).

qw = 0.85 * q2

q2 = 0.64 * q1

p = 0.36 * q1

q1 = p /0.36

q2 = 0.64/0.36 * p

qw = 0.85 *0.64/0.36 * p

qw = 0.85 *0.64/0.36 * 600 = 907 MW

In evaporation water becomes vapor absorbing heat without going to the boiling point (similar to how sweating takes heat from the human body)

The latent heat for the vaporization of water is:

SLH = 2.26 MJ/kg

So, to dissipate 907 MW

G = qw * SLH = 907 / 2.26 = 401.3 kg/s

Answer:

m = 367.753 kg.s

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Power plant capacity W=600 MW

Plant efficiency is $\eta = 36\%$

$efficiency = \frac{W}{QH}$

$0.36 = \frac{600}{QH}$

QH = 1666.6 MW

from first law of thermodynamics we hvae

QH -QR = W

Amount of heat rejection is QR = 1066.66 MW

As per given information we have 15% heat released to atmosphere

$QR = 0.15 \tiimes 1066.66 = 159.99 MW$

AND 85% to cooling water

$Q = 0.85 \times 1066.66 = 906.66 MW$

from saturated water table

at temp 150 degree c we have Hfg = 2465.4 kJ/kg

rate of cooiling water is given as = mhfg

$906.66 \times 1000 KW = m \times 2465.4$

m = 367.753 kg.s

where m is rate of makeup water that is added to offset

Write using about 10-15 lines for each of the six materials (metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, composites, and semiconductors

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

See Answer below- Explanation is the entire answer

Explanation:

Metals:

Properties: Ductile, good heat conductivity, good electrical conductivity, high strength;

Drawbacks: Relatively high weight, reactive with oxygen to create oxides- corrosion is presented;

Examples: steel, aluminum alloys, brass, copper, titanium

Applications: Body of the vehicles, structures in the skyscrapers, cooking pots.

Ceramics:

Properties: Brittle, poor heat conductors, poor electrical conductors, high wear resistance, corrosion resistance;

Drawbacks: Deforms by fracturing, shock resistance is low, no conductivity of electricity;

Examples: concrete, tungsten carbide, diamond

Applications: bricks for constructions, clay pots to keep heat, cutting tools for metals;

Glasses:

Properties: amorphous, transparent, high weight

Drawbacks: poor conductors of heat and electricity; brittle; low shock resistance;

Examples: Silica, lead glass, glaze;

Applications: windows, protection screens;

Polymers:

Properties: low density, recyclable, poor heat and electrical conductors, plastic deformation;

Drawbacks: low strength, low operating temperatures;

Examples: polyethylene, nylon, ABS-plastic, rubber;

Applications: toys, tires, insulation covers for the wires.

Composites:

Properties: high strength to weight ratio, can get combination of properties from the used materials, rarely conductive, good shock resistance;

Drawbacks: high cost, hard to recycle, expensive;

Examples: steel-reinforced concrete, carbon fiber, fiber glass, Nomex, sandwich roof panels;

Applications: buildings, bullet proof vests, body of the Formula 1 cars, rockets, roof panels.

Semiconductors:

Properties: brittle, change conductive behavior under certain scenario, poor heat conductors;

Drawbacks: hard to manufacture, expensive;

Examples: Silicon-based semiconductors, Germanium-based semiconductors, Ga-based semiconductors;

Applications: chips, LED, diodes, transistors, op-amps, microprocessors.

Sum of Numbers Design a function that accepts an integer argument and returns the sum of all the integers from 1 up to the numbe

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

# define main to get an argument from the user, call the function, and display the final values

def main():

# ask an argument from the user.

number = int(input('Enter a positive integer: '))

# solve the integral thing of the number by putting the user's argument in the addition() function

finalSum = addition(number)

# display the final value integral thing

print("The integral of this number is ", finalSum, ".")

# define an addition function to find the integral

def addition(num):

# make an if-statement to test filter things out of your calculations. In this case, 1.

if num == 1:

#if 1, return 1. because 1 + (1 - 1) = 1

return 1

# this is where the recursion actually is. This is the part that calculates

else:

return num + addition(num-1)

# call your main function

main()

what is called periodic function give example? Plot the output which is started with zero degree for one coil rotating in the un

marta [7]

Answer:

A periodic function is a function that returns to its value over a certain period at regular intervals an example is the wave form of flux density (B) = sin wt

Explanation:

A periodic function is a function that returns to its value over a certain period at regular intervals an example is the wave form of flux density (B) = sin wt

attached to the answer is a free plot of the output starting with zero degree for one coil rotating in a uniform magnetic field

B ( wave flux density ) = Bm sinwt and w = 2 $\pi$ f = $\frac{2\pi }{T}$ rad/sec
