Answer:

Water is a good heat transfer fluid as it has a high thermal capacity and low viscosity. It is cheaper to use because its application in direct steam generation saves cost in the heat exchanger. However, it is unstable and difficult to manage at high temperatures.

Answer:

This means that the isotope of silicon with a mass number of 28 is by far the most common of these three isotopes.

Explanation:

The abundance of Si-28 is 92.23%. Si-29 is 4.68% and Si-30 is 3.09%.

Because most Si atoms have a mass of 28 amu, the average mass of all silicon atoms is very close to 28.

Here is a video which summarizes how to calculate average atomic mass from data about mass and relative abundance.

A Carnot cycle operates between the temperatures limits of 400 K and 1600 K, and produces 3600 kW of net power. The rate of entr

The rate of entropy change:

The rate of entropy change of the working fluid during the heat addition process is 3 kW/K

What is the Carnot cycle?

The Carnot Cycle is a thermodynamic cycle made up of reversible isothermal expansion, adiabatic expansion, isothermal compression, and adiabatic compression processes in succession.
The ratio of the heat absorbed to the temperature at which the heat was absorbed determines the change in entropy.

The entropy of a system:

The rate of heat addition is expressed as,

Q = $\frac{WT_{H}}{T_{H}- T_{L}}$
