Because there is no such thing as immortal batteries.

When a battery is connected to a circuit, the charge moves through the circuit, and a chemical reaction occurs inside that separate the charges. The strength of this reaction diminishes over time and the battery eventually dies.

Answer;

Each charge cycle degrades the electrodes just a little bit more, meaning the battery loses performance over time, which is why even rechargeable batteries don't keep on working forever. Over the course of several charge and discharge cycles, the shape of the battery's crystals becomes less ordered.

Answer:

COP = 0.090

Explanation:

The general formula for COP is:

COP = Desired Output/Required Input

Here,

Desired Output = Heat removed from water while cooling

Desired Output = (Specific Heat of Water)(Mass of Water)(Change in Temperature)/Time

Desired Output = [(4180 J/kg.k)(3.1 kg)(25 - 11)k]/[(12 hr)(3600 sec/hr)]

Desired Output = 4.199 W

And the required input can be given as electrical power:

Required Input = Electrical Power = (Current)(Voltage)

Required Input = (2.9 A)(16 V) = 46.4 W

Therefore:

COP = 4.199 W/46.4 W

A bridge to be fabricated of steel girders is designed to be 500 m long and 12 m wide at ambient temperature (assumed 20°C). Exp

Volgvan

Answer:

a) 22.5number

b) 22.22 m length

Explanation:

Given data:

Bridge length = 500 m

width of bridge = 12 m

Maximum temperature = 40 degree C

minimum temperature = - 35 degree C

Maximum expansion can be determined as

$\Delta L = L \alpha (T_{max} - T_{min})$

where , \alpha is expansion coefficient $= 12\times 10^{-6}$ degree C

SO, $\Delta L = 500\times 12\times 10^{-6}\times ( 40 - (-35))$

$\Delta L = 0.45 m = 450 mm$

number of minimum expansion joints is calculated as

$n = \frac{450}{20} = 22.5$

b) length of each bridge

$Length = \frac{500}{22.5} = 22.22 m$

3. A 4-m × 5-m × 7-m room is heated by the radiator of a steam-heating system. The steam radiator transfers heat at a rate of 10

Natali [406]

Answer:

14.52 minutes

14 minutes and 31 seconds

Explanation:

Let's first start by mentioning the specific heat of air at constant volume. We consider constant volume and NOT constant pressure because the volume of the room remains constant while pressure may vary.

Specific heat at constant volume at 27°C = 0.718 kJ/kg*K

Initial temperature of room (in kelvin) = 283.15 K

Final temperature (required) of room = 293.15 K

Mass of air in room= volume * density= (4 * 5 * 7) * (1.204 kg/m3) = 168.56kg

Heat required at constant volume: 0.718 * (change in temp) * (mass of air)

Heat required = 0.718 * (293.15 - 283.15) * (168.56) = 1,210.26 kJ

Time taken for temperature rise: heat required / (rate of heat change)

Where rate of heat change = 10000 - 5000 = 5000 kJ/hr

Time taken = 1210.26 / 5000 = 0.24205 hours

Converted to minutes = 0.24205 * 60 = 14.52 minutes
