Substance A would have a delta T (change in temp) rise 1/2 the rise in substance B.

Q=mc x delta T

Q= heat energy in Joules
m= mass of substance heated or cooled
c= specific heat
ΔT is change in temp.

Solve for change in temp=. Q/mc

Specific heat and mass are not inversely proportional to heat energy input.

Putting into real world scenario of using water to heat a building.

Specific heat of water is 1.
It takes 1 btu to raise one pound of water 1 degF. at a base of 60 degF

Acetone specific heat is .51

So it takes half the amount of heat input to get a 100 degree ΔT, as compared to water.

Mercury is added to a cylindrical container to a depth d and then the rest of the cylinder is filled with water. If the cylinder
jonny [76]

Answer:

0.10839 m

Explanation:

P_1 = Atmospheric pressure = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

P = Total pressure at bottom of mecury = 1.2 atm

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = d = Depth of mercury

\rho_m = Density of mercury = 1.36\times 10^4\ kg/m^3

\rho_w = Density of water = 1000\ kg/m^3

Pressure at the bottom is of the cylinder is given by

P_2=P_1+\rho_wgh\\\Rightarrow P_2=101325+1000\times 9.81(0.7-d)

Pressure at the bottom of mercury is

P=P_2+\rho_mgh\\\Rightarrow 1.2\times 101325=101325+1000\times 9.81(0.7-d)+1.36\times 10^4\times 9.81\times d\\\Rightarrow 1.2\times 101325=123606d+108192\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{1.2\times 101325-108192}{123606}\\\Rightarrow d=0.10839\ m

The depth of the mercury is 0.10839 m

A geothermal plant uses geothermal water (yes a liquid) extracted from beneath the Earth using drilling apparatus. The geotherma
leva [86]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts of heat change and thermal efficiency.

The heat rate can be expressed under the function

Q = \dot{m} (h_1-h_2)

Where,

m = Mass

h_i = Enthalpy at each state

Our values are given as,

\dot{m} = 200kg/s

T_H = 200\°C

W = 6000kW

T_{H,2} = 90\°C

T_L = 25\°C

From the tables of Enthalpy of Water at 200°C (Saturated liquid state)

h_1 = 852.4kJ/Kg

At the same time for 80°C

h_2 = 334.9kJ/Kg

Applying the equation of Heat,

Q = \dot{m}(h_1-h_2)

Replacing,

Q = 200*(852.4-334.9)

Q = 103500kW

Therefore the efficiency would be

\eta = \frac{Q_L}{Q_H}

\eta = \frac{6000}{103500}

\eta = 0.0579

Therefore the actual thermal efficiency of the turbine in percent is 0.0579.
