Consider a Carnot heat-engine cycle executed in a closed system using 0.025 kg of steam as the working fluid. It is known that t

he maximum absolute temperature in the cycle is twice the minimum absolute temperature, and the net work output of the cycle is 60 kJ. If the steam changes from saturated vapor to saturated liquid during heat rejection, determine the temperature of the steam during the heat rejection process. The temperature of the steam during the heat rejection process is

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_H in the cycle is twice the minimum absolute temperature T_L in the cycle

T_H  = 0.5T_L

now, we find the efficiency of the Carnot cycle engine

η_{th = 1 - T_L/T_H

η_{th = 1 - T_L/0.5T_L

η_{th = 0.5

the efficiency of the Carnot heat engine can be expressed as;

η_{th = 1 - W_{net/Q_H

where W_{net is net work done, Q_H is is the heat supplied

we substitute

0.5 = 60 / Q_H

Q_H = 60 / 0.5

Q_H = 120 kJ

Now, we apply the first law of thermodynamics to the system

W_{net = Q_H - Q_L

60 = 120 -  Q_L

Q_L = 60 kJ

now, the amount of heat rejection per kg of steam is;

q_L = Q_L/m

we substitute

q_L = 60/0.025

q_L = 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_L = h_{fg = 2400 kJ/kg

now, at  h_{fg  = 2400 kJ/kg from saturated water tables;

T_L = 40 + ( 45 - 40 ) ( \frac{2400-2406.0}{2394.0-2406.0}\\} )

T_L = 40 + (5) × (0.5)

T_L = 40 + 2.5

T_L = 42.5°C  

Therefore, The temperature of the steam during the heat rejection process is 42.5°C

I need help in this pls i really need a answer
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

In terms of distance, average speed is 20 km/h

In terms of displacement, average speed is 0 km/h.

Explanation:

Total distance:

= (40.0 - 10.0) + (20.0 - 10.0) + (40.0 - 20.0) \\  = 30.0 + 10.0 + 20.0 \\  = 60.0 \: km

Total time is 3.0 hours

but:

average \: speed =  \frac{total \: distance}{total \: time}  \\

In terms of distance.

substitute:

average \: speed =  \frac{60.0}{3.0}  \\  \\  = 20 \:  {kmh}^{ - 1}

displacement = ( - 30.0) + 10 .0+ 20.0 \\  = 0

In terms of displacement:

speed =  \frac{0}{3}  \\  \\  = 0 \:  {kmh}^{ - 1}

Difference between relaxation time and collision time?
Black_prince [1.1K]
For the answer to the question above, let us first start with relaxation time. it is the absence of an external electric field, the free electrons in a metallic substance will move in random directions so that the resultant velocity of free electrons in any direction is equal to zero. While the Collision time it is<span> the mean </span>time<span> required for the direction of motion of an individual type particle to deviate through approximately as a consequence of </span>collisions<span> with particles of type.</span>

Outside our solar system the closest star to earth is Proxima century life from the start takes 2200000 minutes to reach earth.
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

2200000 = 2.2E6 min for light from Proxima to reach earth

8.3 min from light sun to reach earth

2.2E6/8.3 = 2.56E5   times for light from Proxima

Proxima is about 256,000 times farther away than the sun

Since the sun is about 93,000,000 = 9.3E7 miles from earth

Proxima is then 9.3E7 * 2.56E5 = 2.4E13 miles away

Note - the speed of light is

3.00E8 m/s * 60 s/min / 1000 m/km = 1.8E7 km/min as given

Please could someone explain this.
icang [17]

This problem is to let you practice using Newton's second law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

-- The airplane's mass when it takes off (before it burns any of its load of fuel) is 320,000 kg.

-- The force available is (240,000 N/per engine) x (4 engines) = 960,000 N.

-- Now you know ' F ' and ' mass '.  Use Newton's second law of motion to calculate the plane's acceleration.
