A power cycle operates between hot and cold reservoirs at 1200 K and 300 K, respectively. At steady state the cycle develops a p

ower output of 0.38 MW while receiving energy by heat transfer from the hot reservoir at the rate of 1 MW. Determine the thermal efficiency and the rate at which energy is rejected by heat transfer to the cold reservoir, in MW for the following. (a) The power cycle and conditions above. (b) A reversible power cycle operating between the reservoirs and receiving the same rate of heat transfer from the hot reservoir as in part (a).

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Thermal efficiency = work output / heat input

= .38 MW / 1 MW = .38

OR 38%

Heat rejected at cold reservoir = heat input - work output

1 MW - .38 MW

= 0.62 MW.

b ) For reversible power output

efficiency = T₂ - T₁ / T₂   ; T₂ is temperature of hot reservoir and T₁ is temperature of cold reservoir.

= 1200 - 300 / 1200 = 900 / 1200

= .75

or 75%

rate at which heat is rejected

= 1 - .75 x 1

= .25 MW .

How do magnetic forces repel or attract?
Lerok [7]

“Magnets are surrounded by an invisible magnetic field that is made by the movement of electrons, the subatomic particles that circle the nucleus of an atom”



“Every magnet has both a north and a south pole. When you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another. When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (north to north or south to south), they will repel each other.”

What orientation of velocity and acceleration will cause something to initially speed up?
Temka [501]
-- If acceleration and velocity are in the same direction,
then the object is speeding up.

-- If acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions,
then the object is slowing down.

-- If acceleration is perpendicular to velocity, then the object
is moving on a circular curve at constant speed.

Which energy changes take place when a pedalling cyclist uses a generator (dynamo) to light his bicycle lamp?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: chemical → kinetic → electrical → light

Explanation: At the same time when the generator lights up the bicycle lamp the lamp lights up using electrical energy so mechanical energy is also transformed into electrical energy.

Which objects will likely have the greatest gravitational force between them?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

d. Two soccer balls that are touching each other

Explanation:

Let m_1 be the mass of a tennis ball, m_2 is the mass of a soccer ball.

As the mass of a soccer ball is more than the mass of a tennis ball, so

m_2 > m_1

Let d_1 be the distance between the centers of both the balls near each other and d_2 be the distance between the centers of both the balls touching each other.

So, d_2 > d_1

The gravitational force, F, between the two objects having masses M and m and separated by distance d is

F=\frac{GMm}{d^2}

Where G is the universal gravitational constant.

As, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of both the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them,  so selecting the larger mass (m_2, soccer ball) separated by a lesser distance (d_2, touching) to get more gravitational force.

Therefore, there will be a larger gravitational force between them when two soccer balls touching each other.

Hence, option (d) is correct.
