The LCA process is a systematic, phased approach and consists of four components: goal definition and scoping, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. The standards are provided by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) in ISO 14040 and 14044, and describe the four main phases of an LCA: Goal and scope definition. Inventory analysis. Impact assessment.

A 600-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 54 percent. Determine the rate of hea

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

$\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW$ . Heat transfer can be higher if themal efficiency is lower.

Explanation:

The heat transfer rate to the river water is calculated by this expression:

$\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H} - \dot W$

$\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{\eta_{th}}-1 )\cdot \dot W\\\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{0.54}-1)\cdot (600 MW)\\\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW$

The actual heat transfer can be higher if the steam power plant reports an thermal efficiency lower than expected.

For a certain gas, Cp = 840.4 J/kg-K; and Cv = 651.5 J/kg-K. How fast will sound travel in this gas if it is at an adiabatic sta

Crank

Answer:

The speed of the sound for the adiabatic gas is 313 m/s

Explanation:

For adiabatic state gas, the speed of the sound c is calculated by the following expression:

$c=\sqrt(\gamma*R*T)$

Where R is the gas's particular constant defined in terms of Cp and Cv:

$R=Cp-Cv$

For particular values given:

$R=840.4 \frac{J}{Kg-K}- 651.5 \frac{J}{Kg-K}$

$R=188.9 \frac{J}{Kg-K}$

The gamma undimensional constant is also expressed as a function of Cv and Cp:

$\gamma=Cp/Cv$

$\gamma=840.4 \frac{J}{Kg-K} / 651.5 \frac{J}{Kg-K}$

$\gamma=1.29$

And the variable T is the temperature in Kelvin. Thus for the known temperature:

$c=\sqrt(1.29*188.9 \frac{J}{Kg-K}*377 K)$

$c=\sqrt(91867.73 \frac{J}{Kg})$

The Jules unit can expressing by:

$J=N.m=\frac{Kg.m}{s^2}* m$

$J=\frac{Kg.m^2}{s^2}$

Replacing the new units for the speed of the sound:

$c=\sqrt(91867.73 \frac{Kg.m^2}{Kg.s^2})$

$c=\sqrt(91867.73 \frac{m^2}{s^2})$

$c=313 m/s$

If you measure 0.7 V across a diode, the diode is probably made of

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Made of Silicon.

Explanation:

A diode is a semiconductor device use in mostly electronic appliances. It is two terminals device consisting of a P-N junction formed either in Germanium or silicon crystal.

Diode can be forward biased or reverse biased.

When a diode is forward biased and the applied voltage is increased from zero, hardly any current flows through the device in the beginning.

It is so because the external voltage is being opposed by the internal barrier voltage whose value is 0.7v for silicon and 0.3v for germanium.

If you measure 0.7 V across a diode, the diode is probably therefore made of Silicon.
