If we burn 1 gr of ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) this will translate into a release of about 50 W of thermal energy of the flame that r

aise the temperature of the hot and cold reservoirs of a Sterling engine at 55 °C and 95 °C respectively. If at steady state the engine turns at about 240 rpm, its gears are shaped as rings of radius ~2 cm and weigh 50 gr, how efficient (in %) is the transfer of energy via flame?

Answer:

0.116%

Explanation:

efficiency of sterling engine = 1 - ( 55 + 273 )k / ( 95 + 273 ) k

                                               = 1 - ( 328 / 368 ) = 0.10869

<u>Determine how efficient the transfer of energy via flame is </u>

apply this relation ; energy of steady state / energy output  ---- ( 1 )

where;  <em><u>energy output</u></em> = efficiency of sterling engine * energy

                                     = 0.10869 * 50 = 5.4345 J/sec

<em><u>energy of steady state</u></em> = 1/2 * I * w^2  ------ ( 2 )

I = moment of inertia of engine = 2 * 10^-5 kgm^2

back to equation 2 :  

energy of steady state = 1/2 * ( 2 * 10^-5 ) * ( 240 * 2π / 60 )^2

                                      = 630.88 * 10^-5  J /sec

Input values into equation 1

= [ (630.88 * 10^-5 )  / 5.4345  ] * 100

= 0.116%

How can a dominant gene and a recessive gene, affect the offsprings genes
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

A dominant allele produces a dominant phenotype in individuals who have one copy of the allele, which can come from just one parent. For a recessive allele to produce a recessive phenotype, the individual must have two copies, one from each parent.

Explanation:

A dominant allele becomes a trait even if just one copy of it is present. A recessive allele does not become a trait unless both copies of the gene, one from mom and one from dad, are present. If one dominant allele and one recessive allele are present, the dominant allele trait will be expressed.

Only individuals with an aa genotype will express a recessive trait; therefore, offspring must receive one recessive allele from each parent to exhibit a recessive trait.

In 1901, Thomas Edison invented the nickel-iron battery. The following reaction takes place in the battery. Fe(s) + 2 NiO(OH)(s)
lord [1]

Ans: Moles of Fe(OH)2 produced is 5.35 moles.


Given reaction:

Fe(s) + 2NiO(OH) (s) + 2H2O(l) → Fe(OH)2(s) + 2Ni(OH)2(aq)

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

1 mole of Fe reacts with 2 moles of NiO(OH) to produce 1 mole of Fe(OH)2

It is given that there are:

5.35 moles of Fe

7.65 moles of NiO(OH)

Here the limiting reagent is Fe

Therefore, number of moles of Fe(OH)2 produced is 5.35 moles.
