What is the thermal efficiency of a gas power cycle using thermal energy reservoirs at 627°C and 90°C?

Physics
1 answer:
vlada-n [284]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The value is \eta = 63\%

Explanation:

Generally the thermal efficiency is mathematically represented as

\eta =  1 -  \frac{T_L}{T_H} * 100

substituting  [ 627°C + 273  =  900K ]  for  T_H and    [ 90°C + 273  =  333K ]  for T_L

   So  

         \eta =  1 -  \frac{333}{900} *100

=>     \eta = 63\%

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The rotation rate of the man is:

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

\omega = \frac{0.80\,\frac{m}{s} }{5\,m}

\omega = 0.16\,\frac{rad}{s}

The resultant rotation rate of the system is computed from the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}\cdot (0.16\,\frac{rad}{s} ) = [(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}+20000\,kg\cdot m^{2}]\cdot \omega

The final angular speed is:

\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}

The image formed by a plane mirror is _____.
Thepotemich [5.8K]
The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, upright and the same size with the actual object. The upright image of an object in a plane mirror is can be found on the other side of the mirror which is why it is also virtual.

NASA is giving serious consideration to the concept of solar sailing. A solar sailcraft uses a large, low- mass sail and the ene
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<em>d. The sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Let us take the momentum of a photon unit as u

we know that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force exerted.

For a absorbing surface, the photon is absorbed, therefore the final momentum is zero. From this we can say that

F = (u - 0)/t = u/t

for a unit time, the force is proportional to the momentum of the wave due to its energy density. Therefore,

F = u

For a reflecting surface, the momentum of the wave strikes the sail and changes direction. Since we know that the speed of light does not change, then the force is proportional to

F = (u - (-u))/t = 2u/t

just as the we did above, it becomes

F = 2u.

From this we can see that the force for a reflective sail is twice of that for an absorbing sail, and we know that the pressure is proportional to the force for a given area. From these, we conclude that <em>the sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.</em>

Cliff divers at Acapulco jump into the sea from a cliff 37.1 m high. At the level of the sea, a rock sticks out a horizontal dis
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

v_x = 4.87 m/s

Explanation:

Height of the cliff is given as

h = 37.1 m

now the time taken by the diver to hit the surface is given as

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

37.1 = \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

t = 2.75 s

Now in the same time it has to cover a distance of 13.39 m

so the speed in horizontal direction is given as

v_x = \frac{x}{t}

v_x = \frac{13.39}{2.75}

v_x = 4.87 m/s
