If the heat engine is a perfect carnot cycle engine, then
efficiency = (T2-T1)/T2  
where T1=temperature of cold reservoir ( ° K) = 250+273.15 = 523.15
           T2=temperature of hot reservoir ( ° K)  = 715+273.15 = 988.15

Therefore
efficiency = (T2-T1)/T2 = (988.15-523.15)/988.15 = 0.4706 = 47% 

Note: this is the theoretical maximum efficiency of a perfect heat engine.  Real-life engines do not achieve this value.

A truck is subject to a drag force, Fd, from the surrounding air: where Cd = 0.28 is the drag coefficient, A = 30 ft2 is the are
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Power is 15.41 hp

Work is 39205.18 Btu

Explanation:

The power to overcome the drag force is given by the formula:

P = (1/2)ρ v³ A Cd

where,

P = Power

ρ = Density of air = 0.075 lbm/ft³

v = speed of truck = (65 miles/hr)(1 hr/3600 s)(5280 ft/1 mile) = 95.33 ft/s

A = Area = 30 ft²

Cd = drag coefficient = 0.28

therefore,

P = (1/2)(0.075 lbm/ft³)(95.33 ft/s)³(30 ft²)(0.28)

P = (272926 ft².lbm/s³)(1 lbf/32.2 lbm.ft/s²)

P = (8476 ft. lbf/s)(1 hp/550 ft.lb/s)

<u>P = 15.41 hp</u>

Now, for the work of 1 hour:

Work = W = P x time

W = (15.41 hp)(2544 Btu/h / 1 hp)(1 h)

<u>W = 39205.18 Btu</u>

A soft drink (mostly water) flows in a pipe at a beverage plant with a mass flow rate that would fill 220 0.355 - L cans per min
Harman [31]

Answer:

1.302\ \text{kg/s}

Explanation:

\rho = Density of water = 1\ \text{kg/L}

dV = Change in volume = 220\times 0.355\ \text{L}

dt = Time elapsed = 1 minute = 60 seconds

Mass flow rate is given by

\dot{m}=\rho\dfrac{dV}{dt}\\ =1\times \dfrac{220\times 0.355}{60}\\ =1.302\ \text{kg/s}

The mass flow rate is 1.302\ \text{kg/s}.

A 2 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft box weighs 100 pounds, and the weight is evenly distributed. What is the magnitude of the minimum horizonta
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the force required be F . It is applied at the top of the box . The box is likely to turn about a corner . Torque of this force about this corner

= F x 2

This torque will try to turn the box . On the other hand the weight which is acting at CM will create a torque about the same corner . This torque will try to prevent the box to turn around the corner.

This torque of weight

= 100 x 1

= 100 pound ft.

For equilibrium

Torque of F = torque of weight.

F x 2  = 100

F = 50 pounds .

The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/ml. A piece of aluminum foil has a mass of 44 g. What is the volume of this piece of aluminum
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

C) 16.3 ml

Explanation:

Density is equal to the ratio between the mass of an object and its volume:

d=\frac{m}{V}

where

m is the mass

V is the volume

In our problem, we know:

- density of aluminium: d=2.70 g/mL

- mass of the aluminium foil: m=44 g

So we can re-arrange the equation above and use these data to find the volume of the piece of aluminium foil:

V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{44 g}{2.70 g/mL}=16.3 mL
