A steam power plant with a power output of 230 MW consumes coal at a rate of 60 tons/h. If the heating value of the coal is 30,0

00 kJ/kg, determine the overall efficiency of this plant.

Answer:

\eta =46\%

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, we compute the heat output from coal, given its heating value and the mass flow:

Q_H=60\frac{tons}{h}*\frac{1000kg}{1ton}*\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{30,000kJ}{kg}\\\\Q_H=500,000\frac{kJ}{s}*\frac{1MJ}{1000J} =500MW

Next, since the work done by the power plant is 230 MW, we compute the efficiency as shown below:

\eta =\frac{230MW}{500MW}*100\% \\\\\eta =46\%

Best regards!

A sample of sand weighs 490 g in stock and 475 in Oven Dry (OD) condition, respectively. If absorption capability of the sand is
Ivahew [28]

The weight of the specimen in SSD condition is 373.3 cc

<u>Explanation</u>:

a) Apparent specific gravity = \frac{A}{A-C}

Where,

A = mass of oven dried test sample in air = 1034 g

B = saturated surface test sample in air = 1048.9 g

C = apparent mass of saturated test sample in water = 975.6 g

apparent specific gravity = \frac{A}{A-C}

                                         = \frac{1034}{1034-675 \cdot 6}

Apparent specific gravity = 2.88

b) Bulk specific gravity G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{A}{B-C}

G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{1034}{1048.9-675 \cdot 6}

       =  2.76

c) Bulk specific gravity (SSD):

G_{B}^{S S D}=\frac{B}{B-C}

=\frac{1048 \cdot 9}{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}

G_{B}^{S S D} = 2.80

d) Absorption% :

=\frac{B-A}{A} \times 100 \%

=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-1034}{1034} \times 100

Absorption = 1.44 %

e) Bulk Volume :

v_{b}=\frac{\text { weight of dispaced water }}{P \omega t}

=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}{1}

= 373.3 cc

Which type of inappropriate practice most likely occurred if a researcher takes credit for someone else’s idea and does not ackn
Rashid [163]

Answer: the answer is plagiarism.

Explanation: Plagiarism is the act of taking credit from someone else's works or ideas, without acknowledging the author. <u>Conflict of interest</u> occurs when an employee has <u>interests that are at odds to each other</u>, which isn't shown at the excerpt given in the exercise. <u>Fabrication</u> is the <u>creation of intellectual property</u>, also not shown in the exercise, and <u>falsification</u> is the <u>creation of a scientific hypothesis</u> that <u>cannot be verified</u> by lack of practical evidence, which is not the case described as well.
