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%

ella [17]
The work done to "HOLD" a load of bricks at any height is zero.
Work is done only when force acts through a DISTANCE.

The work done to LIFT 30 kg of anything to 20m higher than
it already is, is

(force) · (vertical distance)

= (mass) · (gravity) · (vertical distance)

= (30 kg) · (9.8 m/s²) · (20 m)

= 5,880 joules

A person is initially driving a car east down a straight road. the magnitude of the instantaneous acceleration is decreasing wit
Alexxandr [17]
By definition, acceleration is the change in velocity per change of time. As time passes by, the time increases in value. So, when the acceleration is decreasing while the time is increasing, then that means that the change of velocity is also decreasing with time. So, optimally, the initial velocity and the velocity at any time are very relatively close to each other,

How much heat is absorbed from a 56.00 g sample of Mercury when its tempreature change is 289K?
AveGali [126]

Heat required to raise the temperature of mercury is given as

Q = ms\Delta T

here given that

m = 56 g

s = specific heat capacity of mercury = 0.140 J/g C

\Deta T = 289 k

now here we have

Q = 56 * 0.140 * 289

Q = 2265.76 J

so it required 2265.76 J of heat

sammy [17]

Answer: you are the person in charge of building a nuclear power plant in Florida. your first choice is to select a site for building the power plant.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the nuclear power plants and the criteria to select the site for power plant.

<h3>What you mean by nuclear power plants?</h3>
  • Nuclear power can be defined from the nuclear fission reaction.
  • These power plants will heat the water to produce steam and this steam is used to spin large turbines and thus generates electricity.
<h3>How to select the site for nuclear power plant?</h3>
  • We have to consider the following things,
  • keep distance from populated area.
  • distance from load center.
  • Accessibility to site.
  • Water availability and fuel availability.
  • waste disposal.

Thus, we can conclude that, before building a nuclear power plant, our first choice should be to select a site.
