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 .

The current through a 10 ohm resistor connected to a 120 volt power supply is
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:I=12 A

Explanation:

Given

Resistance R=10 \Omega

Voltage V=120 V

According to ohm's law current through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied.

V\propto I

V=IR

where V=Voltage

I=Current

R=resistance

I=\frac{V}{R}

I=\frac{120}{10}

I=12 A

A red laser from a physics lab is marked as producing 632.8 nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced sli
goblinko [34]

Given Information:  

Wavelength of the red laser = λr = 632.8 nm

Distance between bright fringes due to red laser = yr = 5 mm

Distance between bright fringes due to laser pointer = yp = 5.14 mm

Required Information:  

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Answer:

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Explanation:

The wavelength of the monochromatic light can be found using young's double slits formula,

y = Dλ/d  

y/λ = D/d

Where

λ is the wavelength

y is the distance between bright fringes.

d is the double slit separation distance

D is the distance from the slits to the screen

For the red laser,

yr/λr = D/d

For the laser pointer,

yp/λp = D/d

Equating both equations yields,

yr/λr = yp/λp

Re-arrange for λp

λp = yp*λr/yr

λp =  (5*632.8)/5.14

λp = 615.56 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the small laser pointer is 615.56 nm.

A bowling ball moving with a velocity of 5V to the right collides elastically with a beach ball moving at a velocity 2V to the l
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

v'_2=3V

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Bowling ball Speed v_1=5 m/s

Beach ball Speed v_2=2 m/s

Let The Mass be equal i.e

 M_1=M_2

Therefore

Generally the equation for Velocity of beach ball after collision v'_2 is mathematically given by

Since Velocity is Vector Quantity

Therefore

 v'_2=v_1-v_2

 v'_2=5-2

 v'_2=3V

4. O/N 15/P11/Q11
anygoal [31]

Answer:

B) 4500 Pa

Explanation:

As pressure is force per unit area,

P = F/A

It stands to reason that the smallest pressure for a given force is when it is shared by the largest area.

The possible areas are

0.30(0.40) = 0.12 m²

0.30(0.50) = 0.15 m²

0.40(0.50) = 0.20 m²

The pressure when the face with the largest area (0.20 m²) is down is

P = 900 / 0.20 = 4500 N/m² or 4500 Pa

the other possible pressures would be

900/0.15 = 6000 Pa

900/0.12 = 7500 Pa

which are both larger than our solution.
