Answer:The highest possible efficiency of this heat engine is 11%

Explanation:

Saturated water temperature at  P1, Pressure in Heat addition,

1.1 MPa=185°C +273= 458K

Saturated water temperature at  P2, Pressure in Heat rejection,

0.3MPa=133.5°C+ 273=406.5K

The highest possible efficiency of any heat engine is the Carnot efficiency given as

Carnot efficiency,  ηmax = 1- (T2/ T1)

1- (406.5K/458K)

1-0.88755=0.112

=11%

A circuit contains two devices that are connected in parallel. If the resistance of one of these devices is 12 ohms and the resi
finlep [7]

<u>Answer</u>

3 Ohms

<u>Explanation</u>

when the resistors are in series, the resistance in the circuit increases. For example, if two resistors, R1 and R2 are in series, the combined resistance is R1+R2.

When connected in parallel, the total resistance is the reciprocal of (1/R1 + 1/R2)

In this case the resistors are in parallel.

Total resistance = (1/12 + 1/4)⁻¹

= (1/3)⁻¹

= 3 Ohms

What are two ways in which the suns energy can be captured and used?
My name is Ann [436]

The oldest way ... the way we've been using as long as we've been
walking on the Earth ... has been to use plants.  Plants sit out in the
sun all day, capturing its energy and using it to make chemical compounds. 
Then we come along, cut the plants down, and eat them.  Our bodies
rip the chemical compounds apart and suck the solar energy out of them,
and then we use the energy to walk around, sing, and play video games.  

Another way to capture the sun's energy is to build a dam across a creek
or a river, so that the water can't flow past it.  You see, it was the sun's
energy that evaporated the water from the ocean and lifted it high into
the sky, giving it a lot of potential energy.  The rain falls on high ground,
up in the mountains, so the water still has most of that potential energy
as it drizzles down the river to the ocean.  If we catch it on its way, we
can use some of that potential energy to turn wheels, grind our grain,
turn our hydroelectric turbines to get electrical energy ... all kinds of jobs. 

A modern, recent new way to capture some of the sun's energy is to use
photovoltaic cells.  Those are the flat blue things that you see on roofs
everywhere.  When the sun shines on them, they convert some of its
energy into electrical energy.  We use some of what they produce, and
we store the rest in giant batteries, to use when the sun is not there.
