Answer:

0.76 mg/s

Explanation:

0.46 kg/week × (1 week / 7 days) × (1 day / 24 hrs) × (1 hr / 3600 s) × (1000 g/kg) × (1000 mg/g) = 0.76 mg/s

A heat engine accepts 200,000 Btu of heat from a source at 1500 R and rejects 100,000 Btu of heat to a sink at 600 R. Calculate

diamong [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy through the heat transferred and the work done, as well as through the calculation of entropy due to heat and temperatra.

By definition we know that the change in entropy is given by

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}$

Where,

Q = Heat transfer

T = Temperature

On the other hand we know that by conserving energy the work done in a system is equal to the change in heat transferred, that is

$W = Q_{source}-Q_{sink}$

According to the data given we have to,

$Q_{source} = 200000Btu$

$T_{source} = 1500R$

$Q_{sink} = 100000Btu$

$T_{sink} = 600R$

PART A) The total change in entropy, would be given by the changes that exist in the source and sink, that is

$\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{Q_{sink}}{T_{sink}}$

$\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{100000}{600}$

$\Delta S_{sink} = 166.67Btu/R$

On the other hand,

$\Delta S_{source} = \frac{Q_{source}}{T_{source}}$

$\Delta S_{source} = \frac{-200000}{1500}$

$\Delta S_{source} = -133.33Btu/R$

The total change of entropy would be,

$S = \Delta S_{source}+\Delta S_{sink}$

$S = -133.33+166.67$

$S = 33.34Btu/R$

Since $S\neq 0$ the heat engine is not reversible.

PART B)

Work done by heat engine is given by

$W=Q_{source}-Q_{sink}$

$W = 200000-100000$

$W = 100000 Btu$

Therefore the work in the system is 100000Btu

Explain the terms boiling and boiling point.

Volgvan

The particular temperature at which vaporisation occurs is known as the boiling point of liquid. Volume of water increases when it boils at 100° C. 1 cm3 of water at 100 ° C becomes 1760 cm3 of steam at 100 ° C.

The power in an electric circuit varies inversely with the resistance. If the power is 2,200 watts when the resistance is 25 ohm

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The value of resistance when power is 1100 watts = $R_{2}$ = 50 ohms

Explanation:

Power $P_{1}$ = 2200 Watts

Resistance $R_{1}$ = 25 ohms

Power $P_{2}$ = 1100 Watts

Resistance $R_{2}$ = we have to calculate

Given that the power in an electric circuit varies inversely with the resistance

⇒ P ∝ $\frac{1}{R}$

⇒ $\frac{P_{2} }{P_{1} }$ = $\frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }$

⇒ $\frac{1100}{2200}$ = $\frac{25}{R_{2} }$

⇒ $R_{2}$ = 50 ohms

This is the value of resistance when power is 1100 watts.
