Answer:
Acceleration
Explanation:
The quantity of the rate of change of velocity is termed the acceleration of the body.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time;
A =
A is the acceleration
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time taken
Answer:
The temperature of the steam during the heat rejection process is 42.5°C
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
the maximum temperature T in the cycle is twice the minimum absolute temperature T
in the cycle
T = 0.5T
now, we find the efficiency of the Carnot cycle engine
η = 1 - T
/T
η = 1 - T
/0.5T
η = 0.5
the efficiency of the Carnot heat engine can be expressed as;
η = 1 - W
/Q
where W is net work done, Q
is is the heat supplied
we substitute
0.5 = 60 / Q
Q = 60 / 0.5
Q = 120 kJ
Now, we apply the first law of thermodynamics to the system
W = Q
- Q
60 = 120 - Q
Q = 60 kJ
now, the amount of heat rejection per kg of steam is;
q = Q
/m
we substitute
q = 60/0.025
q = 2400 kJ/kg
which means for 1 kilogram of conversion of saturated vapor to saturated liquid , it takes 2400 kJ/kg of heat ( enthalpy of vaporization)
q = h
= 2400 kJ/kg
now, at h = 2400 kJ/kg from saturated water tables;
T = 40 + ( 45 - 40 ) (
)
T = 40 + (5) × (0.5)
T = 40 + 2.5
T = 42.5°C
Therefore, The temperature of the steam during the heat rejection process is 42.5°C
