Answer:

Roughly, an electric toaster oven on for 30 minutes uses: d) 2 million Joules of energy

Explanation:

An average toaster oven uses around 1.2 kW (or 1200 W) of power.

If it is on for 30 minutes, we can calculate how much energy it will use, knowing that energy equals power times time (that the machine is using power), taking into account units (kWh=kW*h and J=W*s):

E_{kWh}=1.2kW*30 min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}=0.6kWh\\E_{J}=1200W*30 min*60\frac{s}{min}=2160000 J

As we assumed the power of the toaster, it is enough to say that an electric toaster oven uses roughly 2 million Joules, as there is only an 8% (\frac{|difference between values|}{value used} *100=\frac{|160000 J|}{2000000J} *100) difference between our calculated value and the rough estimation.

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 8 MPa and 500C with a mass flow rate of 3
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

a)temperature=69.1C

b)3054Kw

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem follow the steps below, the complete procedure is in the attached image

1. draw a complete outline of the problem

2. to find the temperature at the turbine exit  use termodinamic tables to find the saturation temperature at 30kPa

note=Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)  

through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature.  

3. Using thermodynamic tables find the enthalpy and entropy at the turbine inlet, then find the ideal enthalpy using the entropy of state 1 and the outlet pressure = 30kPa

4. The efficiency of the turbine is defined as the ratio between the real power and the ideal power, with this we find the real enthalpy.

Note: Remember that for a turbine with a single input and output, the power is calculated as the product of the mass flow and the difference in enthalpies.

5. Find the real power of the turbine

Answer:

launch- The first stage is ignited at launch and burns through the powered ascent until its propellants are exhausted. The first stage engine is then extinguished, the second stage separates from the first stage, and the second stage engine is ignited. The payload is carried atop the second stage into orbit

powered ascent-The first stage is ignited at launch and burns through the powered ascent until its propellants are exhausted. The first stage engine is then extinguished, the second stage separates from the first stage, and the second stage engine is ignited. The payload is carried atop the second stage into orbit

coasting flight-

When the rocket runs out of fuel, it enters a coasting flight. The vehicle slows down under the action of the weight and drag since there is no longer any thrust present. The rocket eventually reaches some maximum altitude which you can measure using some simple length and angle measurements and trigonometry.

ejection charge-At the end of the delay charge, an ejection charge is ignited which pressurizes the body tube, blows the nose cap off, and deploys the parachute. The rocket then begins a slow descent under parachute to a recovery. The forces at work here are the weight of the vehicle and the drag of the parachute.

slow decent- slow downs (i guess)

recovery-A recovery period is typically characterized by abnormally high levels of growth in real gross domestic product, employment, corporate profits, and other indicators. This is a turning point from contraction to expansion and often results in an increase in consumer confidence

Air is compressed in a reversible, isothermal, steady- flow process from 15 psia, 100°F to 100 psia. Calculate the work of compr
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

|W|=169.28 KJ/kg

ΔS = -0.544 KJ/Kg.K

Explanation:

Given that

T= 100°F

We know that

1 °F = 255.92 K

100°F = 310 .92 K

P _1= 15 psia

P _1= 100 psia

We know that work for isothermal process  

W=mRT\ln \dfrac{P_1}{P_2}

Lets take mass is 1 kg.

So work per unit mass

W=RT\ln \dfrac{P_1}{P_2}

We know that for air R=0.287KJ/kg.K

W=RT\ln \dfrac{P_1}{P_2}

W=0.287\times 310.92\ln \dfrac{15}{100}

W= - 169.28 KJ/kg

Negative sign indicates compression

|W|=169.28 KJ/kg

We know that change in entropy at constant volume

\Delta S=-R\ln \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}

\Delta S=-0.287\ln \dfrac{100}{15}

ΔS = -0.544 KJ/Kg.K

The primary heat transfer mechanism that quickly warms my hand if I hold it directly above a campfire is: a)-Radiation b)-Induct
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'c':Convection.

Explanation:

When we ignite a campfire the heat produced by combustion heats the air above the fire. As we know that if a gases gains heat it expands thus it's density decreases and hence it rises, if we hold our hands directly above the fire this rising hot air comes in contact with our hands thus warming them.

The situation is different if we are at some distance from the campfire laterally. Since the rising air cannot move laterally the only means the heat of the fire reaches our body is radiation.

But in the given situation the correct answer is convection.
