A steam engine takes in superheated steam at 270 °C and discharges condensed steam from its cylinder at 50 °C. The engine has an

efficiency of 30%, and taken in 50 kJ from the hot steam per cycle. If a Carnot engine takes in the same amount of heat per cycle and operates at these temperatures, the work it can turn into is most likely to be:a) 15 kJ. b) 20 kJ. c) 10 kJ. d) 50 kJ.

Answer:

b) 20 kJ

Explanation:

Efficiency of carnot engine = (T₁ - T₂ ) / T₁  Where T₁ is temperature of hot source  and T₂ is temperature of sink .

T₁ = 270 + 273 = 543K

T₂ = 50 + 273 = 323 K

Putting the given values of temperatures

efficiency = (543 - 323) / 543

= .405

heat input = 50 KJ

efficiency = output work / input heat energy

.405 = output work / 50

output work = 20.25 KJ.

= 20 KJ .

The maximum number of orbits in an atom is _____
svp [43]

Correct answer is:

<h2>The maximum number of orbits in an atom is <u>Seven.</u></h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

Every energy level has a limited one orbital including two electrons. The orbits are settled in the sub-levels and there can be further than 1 sub-level as the number of energy levels rises. On energy level 1, there is 1 sub-level and 1 orbital. Energy level 2 can possess 2 sub-levels and 2 orbitals. These remain to develop as you progress from the nucleus of the atom, closing up with an infinite potential number of levels and orbits.

A building is 512 m high. What must be the minimum water pressure in a pipe at ground level in order to get water out of a tap i
vivado [14]

Answer:

Pressure =  5 x 10⁶ Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Height of building = 512 m

Find:

Pressure

Computation:

P2 = P1+dgh

P2 = 1 + (1000)(9.8)(512)

P2 = 51.2 atm

Pressure =  5 x 10⁶ Pa
