A nuclear power plant operates at 79 percent of its maximum theoretical (Carnot) efficiency between temperatures of 700° and 330

°C. If the plant produces electric energy at the rate of 1.3 GW, how much exhaust heat is discharged per hour?

6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

T₁ = 700 + 273 = 973 k

T₂ = 330 + 273 = 603 k

Theoretical efficiency = T₁ - T₂ / T₁

= (973 - 603) / 973

= .38 OR 38%

Operating efficiency = .79 x 38

= 30.02 %

Heat input Q₁ , Heat output to sink Q₂ , conversion into power = Q₁ - Q₂

given Q₁ - Q₂ = 1.3 x 10⁹ W

efficiency = Q₁ - Q₂  /  Q₁

Q₁ - Q₂  /  Q₁ = 30.02 / 100

100Q₁ - 100Q₂ = 30.02Q₁

69.98 Q₁  = 100Q₂

Q₁  = 1.429 Q₂

Putting this in the relation

Q₁ - Q₂ = 1.3 x 10⁹ W

1.429Q₂ - Q₂ = 1.3 x 10⁹ W

.429Q₂ = 1.3 x 10⁹

Q₂  = 3.03 x 10⁹W

= 3.03 GW.

If the distance between us and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity Group of answer choice
Savatey [412]

Answer:

remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

The luminosity of a star refers to the total amount of light radiated by the star per second and it is measured in watts (w).

The apparent brightness of a star is a measure of the rate at which radiated energy from a star reaches an observer on Earth per square meter per second.

The apparent brightness of a star is measured in watts per square meter.

If the distance between us (humans) and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four (4).

Some of the examples of stars are;

- Canopus.

- Sun (closest to the Earth)

- Betelgeuse.

- Antares.

- Vega.

hich one of the following statements could be an operational definition of electric current?View Available Hint(s)Which one of t
klemol [59]

Answer:

it is True as the operational definition of electric current.

Explanation:

The definition of electric current is

         I = dQ / dt

By convention the direction of the current is the direction in which a positive charge flows.

The initial expression is the derivative that is the change of the load in the unit of time and this occurs in a given cross-sectional cable.

The proposed definition is the same as this, so it is True as the operational definition of electric current.
