Our power plant generates electricity using a steam turbine. At the exit from our power generation process, we end up with 562.0

kg/s of liquid water at 330.0 K. We cannot release this water directly into a nearby river if the temperature is over 310.00 K, without causing significant thermal pollution that would damage fish populations. Our plan is to mix this warm water with another cooler water stream at 290.00 K. What is the mass flow rate of this cool water stream needed to meet the regulation

Answer:

The mass flowrate of the cooling water needed to meet the regulation is 560 kg/s

Explanation:

The given information are;

The mass flow rate of the water = 562.0 kg/s

The temperature of the exit water = 330.0 K

The allowable temperature of the of released water into nearby river = 310.00 K

The temperature of the cool water with which the temperature of the exit water is cooled = 290.00 K

Therefore, we have;

Heat gained by the mixture = The heat of the final mixture exited to the river

Q = m×c×ΔT

m_w = 562.0 kg/s

The mass of the cooling water = x

The final temperature = 310 K

4.2×562×(330 - 310) = x×4.2×(310 - 290)

47208 = 84×x

x = 47208/84 = 560 kg

Therefore, the mass flowrate of the cooling water needed to meet the regulation = 560 kg/s.

HACTEHA [7]

Coquina rock is deposited on the water bodies of the Earth's surface and oceans.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Coquina is nothing but a type of sedimentary rock generally limestone that is formed by the chunks of shells, trilobites, brachiopods, or other invertebrates.

Coquina is deposited on the oceans and water bodies of the Earth's surface. Coquina looks like a soft white rock; therefore it can be used in construction of buildings.

A laser used for many applications of hard surface dental work emits 2780-nm wavelength pulses of variable energy (0-300 mJ) abo
Bess [88]

Answer:

a

    n =  1.119 *10^{18} \ photons

b

  P  =  1.6 \ W

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength is  \lambda  =  2780 nm =  2780 *10^{-9} \ m

     The  energy  is  E =  80 mJ  =  80 *10^{-3} \ J

This energy is mathematically represented as

     E   = \frac{n  *  h *  c }{\lambda }

Where  c is the speed of light with a value  c =  3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s

             h is the Planck's  constant with the value  h  =  6.626 *10^{-34} \ J \cdot s

             n is the number of pulses

So

      n =  \frac{E * \lambda }{h * c }

substituting values

       n =  \frac{80 *10^{-3} *  2780 *10^{-9}}{6.626 *10^{-34} * 3.0 *10^{8} }

       n =  1.119 *10^{18} \ photons

Given that the pulses where emitted 20 times in one second then the period of the pulse is

       T  =  \frac{1}{20}

      T = 0.05 \ s

Hence the average power of photons in one 80-mJ pulse during 1 s is mathematically represented as

       P  =  \frac{E}{T}

substituting values

       P  =  \frac{ 80 *10^{-3}}{0.05}

        P  =  1.6 \ W

Do you think it would take more force to transport five blocks in the sled or in the wagon?
enot [183]
It will depend on the frictional force involved in the two. I think it will take more force in sled.

A rock has a specific gravity of 2.32 and a volume of 8.64 in3 how much does it weigh
lianna [129]

Answer: 3.21 N

Specific\hspace{1mm} gravity = \frac {Density\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}substance}{Density\hspace{1mm} of \hspace{1mm}water}

\Rightarrow Density \hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}substance= 2.32\times 1000\hspace{1mm} kg/m^3 = 2320\hspace{1mm}kg/m^3\\ Mass =Density\times volume\\ \Rightarrow 2320 \hspace{1mm} kg/m^3\times 8.64 \hspace{1mm}in^3\times \frac {1.64\times10^{-5} m^3}{1\hspace{1mm}in^3}=0.328 kg

For weight, we will multiply by g=9.8 m/s^{-2}

weight= 0.328\times9.8=3.21\hspace{1mm}N

Hence, the rock would weigh 3.21 N.
