An actual refrigerator operates with a COP that is half the Carnot COP. It removes 10 kW of heat from a cold reservoir at 250 K

and dumps the waste heat into the atmosphere at 300 K. (a) Determine the net work consumed by the refrigerator. (b) What-if Scenario: How would the answer change if the cold storage were to be maintained at 200 K without altering the rate of heat transfer

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

\left ( COP\right )_{actual}=0.5\left ( COP\right )_{ideal}

T_L=250 K

T_H=300 K

ideal COP=\frac{T_L}{T_H-T_L}=\frac{250}{300-250}=5

\left ( COP\right )_{actual}=2.5

Also COP=\frac{Desired\ effect}{Power\ supplied}

2.5=\frac{10}{W_{in}}

W_{in}=4 kW

(b)if T_L=200 K

\left ( COP\right )_{actual}=0.5\times \frac{200}{300-200}=1

thus W_{in}=10 kW

12. A measuring cylinder has 150ml. of water in it. When a stone is immersed into the measuring cylinder, the water level raised
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

60ml

Explanation:

I'm going to assume you mean 210ml not centimeters. To find the volume all we do is subtract both values or with the formula [ f - i = v ]  where f = final amount and i = initial amount.

210 - 150 = 60ml

Best of Luck!

How long will it take for a radioactive isotope with a decay constant of 0.15 (which means a half life of 4.6 days ) to decay to
jek_recluse [69]
Radioactive decay is given by:
N = No x e^(-λt)
We know that N/No has to be 0.05
λ = 0.15
0.05 = e^(-0.15t)
t = ln(0.05)/(-0.15)
t = 19.97 days

Energy of fossil fuels is also derieved from solar energy​
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Explanation:

All the energy in oil, gas, and coal originally came from the sun, captured through photosynthesis.for example when  we burn wood to release energy that trees capture from the sun, we burn fossil fuels to release the energy that ancient plants captured from the sun. We can think of this energy as having been deposited in a natural solar power bank over millions of years.

So, in one sense, gasoline-burning cars, coal-burning power plants, and homes heated by natural gas are all solar powered!

Explain what a concentration gradient is and what it means for a molecule to diffuse down its
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Explanation:

A gradient of concentration is the difference between in concentration of one place / area substance to different area. Having a molecule flow down its concentration gradient means moving the molecules from hypotonic areas to the concentration hypertonic areas

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

A police car parked on the side of the highway emits a 1200 Hz sound that bounces off a vehicle farther down the highway and ret
emmasim [6.3K]

f' = frequency observed by the police car after sound reflected from the vehicle and comes back to police car = 1250 Hz

f = frequency emitted by the police car  = 1200 Hz

V = speed of sound = 340 m/s

v = speed of vehicle = ?

frequency observed by the police car is given as

f' = f (V + v)/(V - v)

inserting the values in the above equation

1250 = 1200 (340 + v)/(340 - v)

v = 6.9 m/s
