In wet mill ethanol plants, a total energy of 74,488 Btu (British thermal units, a common energy unit) is used to produce 1 gall

on of ethanol. If ethanol can provide 76,330 Btu per gallon, what is the net energy yield for one gallon of ethanol?

Answer:

The energy yield for one gallon of ethanol is 2.473 %.

Explanation:

The net energy yield (\% e), expressed in percentage for one gallon of ethanol is the percentage of the ratio of the difference of the provided energy (E_{g}), measured in Btu, and the energy needed to produce the ethanol (E_{p}), measured in Btu, divided by the energy needed to produce the ethanol. That is:

\% e =\frac{E_{g}-E_{p}}{E_{p}} \times 100\,\% (1)

If we know that E_{g} = 76330\,Btu and E_{p} = 74488\,Btu, then the net energy yield of 1 gallon of ethanol:

\%e = \frac{76330\,Btu-74488\,Btu}{74488\,Btu}\times 100\,\%

\%e = 2.473\,\%

The energy yield for one gallon of ethanol is 2.473 %.

Answer:

the police officer cruise each streets precisely once and he enters and exit with the same gate.

Explanation:

NB: kindly check below for the attached picture.

The term ''Euler circuit'' can simply be defined as the graph that shows the edge of K once in a finite way by starting and putting a stop to it at the same vertex.

The term "Hamiltonian Circuit" is also known as the Hamiltonian cycle which is all about a one time visit to the vertex.

Here in this question, the door is the vertex and the road is the edge.

The information needed to detemine a Euler circuit and a Hamilton circuit is;

"the police officer cruise each streets precisely once and he enters and exit with the same gate."

Check attachment for each type of circuit and the differences.

A 4KJ of energy is supplied to a machine used for lifting a mass. The force required is 800N. If the machine has an efficiency o
navik [9.2K]

The height at which the mass will be lifted is; 3 meters

<h3>How to utilize efficiency of a machine?</h3>

Formula for efficiency is;

η = useful output energy/input energy

We are given

η = 60% = 0.6

Input energy = 4 KJ = 4000 J

Thus;

0.6 = useful output energy/4000

useful output energy = 0.6 * 4000

useful output energy = 2400 J

Work done in lifting mass(useful output energy) = force * distance moved

Useful output energy = 800 * h

where h is height to lift mass

Thus;

800h = 2400

h = 2400/800

h = 3 meters
