Answer:

a). TRUE

Explanation:

Thermal efficiency of a system is the defined as the ratio of the net work done to the total heat input to the system. It is a dimensionless quantity.

Mathematically, thermal efficiency is

η = net work done / heat input

While heat rate is the reciprocal of efficiency. It is defined as the ratio of heat supplied to the system to the useful work done.

Mathematically, heat rate is

Heat rate = heat input / net work done

Thus from above we can see that heat rate is the reciprocal of thermal efficiency.

Thus, Heat rate is reciprocal of thermal efficiency.

Answer:

Mechanical resonance frequency is the frequency of a system to react sharply when the frequency of oscillation is equal to its resonant frequency (natural frequency).

The physical dimension of the silicon is 10kg

Explanation:

Using the formular, Force, F = 1/2π√k/m

At resonance, spring constant, k = mw² ( where w = 2πf), when spring constant, k = centripetal force ( F = mw²r).

Hence, F = 1/2π√mw²/m = f ( f = frequency)

∴ f = F = mg, taking g = 9.8 m/s²

100 Hz = 9.8 m/s² X m

m = 100/9.8 = 10.2kg

A well-insulated, rigid tank has a volume of 1 m3and is initially evacuated. A valve is opened,and the surrounding air enters at

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

0.5 kW

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Volume of tank = 1 m³

Pressure of air entering tank = 1 bar

Temperature of air = 27°C = 300.15 K

Temperature after heating = 477 °C = 750.15 K

V₂ = 1 m³

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₁ = P₂

V₁ = T₁×V₂/T₂ = 300.15 * 1 /750.15 = 0.4 m³

$dQ = m \times c_p \times (T_2 -T_1)$

For ideal gas, $c_p$ = 5/2×R = 5/2*0.287 = 0.7175 kJ

PV = NKT

N = PV/(KT) = 100000×1/(750.15×1.38×10⁻²³)

N = 9.66×10²⁴

Number of moles of air = 9.66×10²⁴/(6.02×10²³) = 16.05 moles

The average mass of one mole of air = 28.8 g

Therefore, the total mass = 28.8*16.05 = 462.135 g = 0.46 kg

∴ dQ = 0.46*0.7175*(750.15 - 300.15) = 149.211 kJ

The power input required = The rate of heat transfer = 149.211/(60*5)

The power input required = 0.49737 kW ≈ 0.5 kW.
