Answer:

The net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr

Explanation:

Given that:

The power or the power plant = 750 MWe

Since the power plant with a thermal efficiency of 42% (i.e. 0.42) burns 9000 Btu/lb coal, Then the energy released per one lb of the coal can be computed as:

\mathtt{=( 0.42\times 9000\times 1055.06) J}

= 3988126.8  J

= 3.99 MJ

Also, The mass of the burned coal per sec can be calculated by dividing the molecular weight of the power plant by the energy released per one lb.

i.e.

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec =\dfrac{750}{3.99}

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec = 187.97 lb/s

The mass of sulfur burned  = \dfrac{1.1}{100} \times 187.97 \  lb/s

= 2.067 lb/s

To hour; we have:

= 7444 lb/hr

However, If a scrubber with 75% removal efficiency is utilized,

Then; the net emissions rate of sulfur is (1 - 0.75) × 7444 lb/hr

= 0.25 × 7444 lb/hr

= 1861 lb/hr

Hence, the net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr

On a spaceship designed to support a multiyear voyage to the outer planets of the solar system, plants will be grown to provide
alexira [117]

Answer:

A mixture of blue & red light.

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, the oxygen delivered emanates from water particles and if a weighty isotope of oxygen atom was noticed in delivered sub-atomic oxygen, the water atoms were marked with the hefty isotope.

In order to maximize the growth rate of the plant, the required wavelength of light to be used is a mixture of blue & red light. This is on the grounds that as the absorption optima of plant's photoreceptors are at wavelength frequency of red and blue light, subsequently the combination of red and blue light would be ideal for plant growth and development.

The productivity of red (650–665 nm) LEDs on plant development is straightforward on the grounds that these wavelength frequencies entirely fit with the retention pinnacle of chlorophylls and phytochrome, while the enhanced blue light presented the possibility that development under regular light could be mirrored utilizing blue and red LEDs with negligible use of energy.

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. how much time does it ta
Yuri [45]

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. The time taken by the car will be 4 seconds. the correct answer is option(c).

When acceleration is constant, the rate of change in velocity is also constant. In the absence of any acceleration, velocity remains constant. When acceleration is positive, velocity becomes more significant.

Let a denote acceleration, u denote initial velocity, v denote final velocity, and t denote time.

The equation of motion is stated as,

v = u + at

v² = u² + 2as

A car travels across a distance of 60.0 m while accelerating constantly from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s.

Then the time taken by the car will be,

u = 12 m/s

v = 18 m/s

s = 60 m

Put these in the equation v² = u² + 2as.

18² = 12² + 2 x a x 60

a = 1.5

Then the time will be

18 = 12 + 1.5t

1.5t = 6

t = 4 seconds

Hence, the time taken is 4 s.

The complete question is:

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. How much time does it take?

1.00 s

2.50 s

4.00 s

4.50 s

Which of the following is not a way in which humans directly impact algal bloom production? a. industrial pollution b. wastewate
Monica [59]

d. fishing

The other options all directly affect algal bloom production because they affect the nutrients in the water, and an overabundance of certain nutrients in the water is what causes algal bloom.
