A heat engine is operating on a Carnot cycle and has a thermal efficiency of 47 percent. The waste heat from this engine is reje

cted to a nearby lake at 60 deg. F at a rate of 800 Btu/min. Determine a) the power output of the ending (Approx 17 hp) and b) the temperature of the source (Approx 1000 R).

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Efficiency of Carnot engine is 47%

η =47%=0.47

The wasted heat is at temp 60°F

TL=60°F

Rate of heat wasted is 800Btu/min

Therefore, rate of heat loss QL is

QL' = 800×60 =48000

The power output is determined from rate of heat obtained from the source and rate of wasted heat.

Therefore,

W' = QH' - QL'

Note QH' = QL' / (1-η)

W' = QL' / (1-η) - QL'

W'=QL' η / (1-η)

W'= 48000×0.47/(1-0.47)

W'=42566.0377 BTU

1 btu per hour (btu/h) = 0.00039 horsepower (hp)

Then, 42566.0377×0.00039

W'=16.6hp

Which is approximately 17hp

b. Temperature at source

Using ratio of wanted heat to temp

Then,

TH / TL = QH' / QL'

TH = TL ( QH' / QL')

Since, QH' = QL' / (1-η)

Then, TH= TL( QL' /QL' (1-η))

TH=TL/(1-η)

TL=60°F, let convert to rankine

°R=°F+459.67

TL=60+459.67

TL=519.67R

TH=519.67/(1-0.47)

TH=980.51R

Which is approximately 1000R

An animal cell placed in pure distilled 100% will
jasenka [17]

in a hypotonic solution like distilled water, a red blood cell would burst, because inside the cell has a higher solute concentration than outside.

In a hypertonic solution, there is a higher solute concentration on the outside of the cell than on the inside, causing the cell to shrivel.

i hope this helps

I WILL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST FOR A QUICK AND GOOD ANSWER PLEASE NO SPAM what are elastic and inelastic distortion?
Montano1993 [528]
As far as I know, elastic distortion (or elastic deformation or temporary distortion) is the case when an object is deformed by virtue of a cause and after the cause is removed, it regains its original shape in a finite amount of time. If it fails to attain its original shape in finite amount of time or takes infinite time it becomes plastic or permanent distortion.

Inelastic materials, simply put, are non elastic materials. They do not show a fixed trend of deformation vs applied force; in fact, they might not deform at all (rigid materials) or the deformation observed is not completely recoverable; on removal of the applied force, the material doesn't return to its original shape, but to a permanent deformed shape. Such materials are called Plastic materials. 

A typical material like steel shows all these forms under different conditions of loading (applied force). For extremely low magnitudes of forces, it is practically rigid. Increasing magnitudes of force show a linear elastic response, while further increase show a non-linear, plastic response, till rupture occurs when the material breaks.

The element hydrogen has the highest specific heat of all elements. At a temperature of 25°C, hydrogen’s specific heat capacity
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

121550 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass, m = 0.34kg

Specific heat capacity, c = 14300 J/kgK

Change in temperature, ΔT = 25K

Heat gained/lost by an object is given as:

Q = mcΔT

Since ΔT is positive in this case and also because we're told that heat was transferred to the hydrogen sample, the hydrogen sample gained heat. Therefore, Q:

Q = 0.34 * 14300 * 25

Q = 121550J or 121.55 kJ
