Ivone is an Electrical Engineer that is working at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, which detects subatomic particles emitted by the Sun's core so that we can precisely learn its age. As the name implies, the observatory is located in Antarctica. And solar power just isn't enough to run all of Ivone's cool equipment. So Ivone convinces the scientists there to let her build a 400 MW Rankine power plant. She feels that the pressure of saturated vapor entering the turbine should be 9 MPa and the saturated liquid exiting the condenser should be 0.007 MPa. The ocean water around the plant contains glaciers year round, and is a constant 0 °C. Also, Ivone hates penguins. (They use the bathroom everywhere!) Since there is no local government to stop her, Ivone makes the cooling water exiting her power plant 100 °C in order to suffocate all fish in the area and force the penguins to move to another location. For Ivon'e power plant, calculate the following: a. Heat input from the boiler b. Thermal efficiency c. Mass flow rate of the cooling water

If we wanted to supply all the electricity needs for New York City (NYC), with a popula- tion of about 10 million people, using photovoltaics technology, how much land area would we need? What other elements would be required for such an idea to work for NYC? How large of an investment would this involve, and how would the price of electricity in ¢ per kWeh have to increase in order to recover that investment in 10 years at an interest rate of 8%? For comparison, the average New Yorker paid 12¢/kWeh in 2002.
Unreasonable Results - A slightly deranged Arctic inventor surrounded by ice thinks it would be much less mechanically complex to cool a car engine by melting ice on it than by having a water-cooled system with a radiator, water pump, antifreeze, and so on. (a) If 80% of the energy in 1.00 gal of gasoline is converted into “waste heat” in a car engine, how many kilograms of 0C ice could it melt? (b) Is this a reasonable amount of ice to carry around to cool the engine for 1.00 gal of gasoline consumption? (c) What premises or assumptions are unreasonable?
5. (a) Describe a platinum resistance thermometer. How would you calibrate and use it formeasuring temperature of an object. Mention its advantages over a thermoelectricthermometer. (Please include all the necessary and clear diagrams). (b) Discuss the second law of thermodynamics, entropy, and the principle of increase ofentropy. Show that the entropy of a reversible process remains invariant and it gets increasedin an irreversible process. (Please include all the necessary and clear diagrams).
Given the lifting table shown below, The diameter of the plunger DP 20 cm. The ram diameter DR 60 cm , The efficiency is 100 %, The stroke of the plunger is 30 cm. The ram has to raise a load F2 = 20 kN. Find: a) The force F1 exerted on the plunger b) the number of strokes needed to raise the load given above by a distance of 10 cm . c) the volume of oil pumped if the load moves by 30 cm (using plunger force given in a ) d) What will be the new diameter of the ram piston if the new load force is 16 times the force exerted in the plunger the diameter of the plunger is kept to 20cm. (please check the picture carefully).
An air-cooled window DX unit is used for space cooling. The unit has a capacity of 4.5 tons and has a SEER of 15. If the unit operates for 2204 hours during the summer, how many kWh of electricity will be used? Hint: In the U.S., the SEER is the ratio of cooling in British thermal units (BTUs) to the electrical energy consumed in watt-hours. You may need to convert the unit in this process.

In the 1970s cartoon The Super Friends, the Wonder Twins helped Superman and others fight crime. One of the Wonder Twins was Zan, who was able to take on the form of H2O in its various phases (ice, liquid water, water vapor). After taking a physics class, he decides to conduct a little experiment by turning into an ice igloo in the park on a hot day. (a) If his total mass as an igloo is 64.50 kg and he starts with a temperature of −13.50°C, how much heat must flow into him to completely melt his body? J(b) He continues absorbing energy up to the point where he would start to vaporize (100.0°C). How much more heat is required to raise his temperature to the vaporization point? J(c) How much more heat is required to turn him into water vapor at 100.0°C? J(d) If we model the water vapor molecules making up his body as having only six degrees of freedom, what is the average kinetic energy of one of the water vapor molecules that make up Zan? (Consider the case when Zan is water vapor at…
A 5-feet diameter Chimney is designed to handle a flue gas produced in a steam power plant at a rate of 17 lb/s. The barometric pressure is 29.92-inch Hg. Outside air enters the combustion chamber at 90 F. The average temperature of the flue gas inside the Chimney is 572 F and its molecular weight is 30. Cv = 0.35, Rair = 53.342 ft-lb/lb-R. Calculate: 5. The total draft, feet of air. 6. The height of the Chimney, feet
A hot water leak in one of the faucets of your apartment can be very wasteful. A continuous leak of one quart per hour (a "slow" leak) at 155 degrees°F causes a loss of 1.81 million Btu per year. Suppose your water is heated with electricity. a. How many pounds of coal delivered to your electric utility does this leak equate to if one pound of coal contains 12,000 Btu and the boiler combustion process and water distribution system have an overall efficiency of 28%? b. If a pound of coal produces 1.81 pounds of CO2 during the combustion process, how much extra carbon dioxide does the leaky faucet produce in a year
Calorimetry In a kitchen there are two identical pans that have been previously heated, one of the pans is filled with 1/2 liter of Water at 100◦C and the other with 1/2 liter of oil at 130◦C. After that, no there is more fire that keeps introducing heat to both liquids. In that instant, a person who had cut 300 grams of potato into small cubes at a temperature of 25◦C, decides to pour half the amount of potato in the boiling water and the other half in the burning oil. a) Determine the temperature of the thermal equilibrium between the pore potatoes in the water, and the same for nocao in the oil, considering each cases as isolated systems. (b) Explain why the thermal equilibrium temperatures in both cases are almost the same, mention the physical fundamentals that characterize that result. information in the image respectively: water density: oil density: specific heat of water: specific oil heat: specific heat of the potato:
Scenario 1:You work as a design engineer in SpaceX which is a space exploration company that produces re-usablespace rockets. Space rockets in the past used to be disposable, the fact that they only serve for one timethen get lost in the space. SpaceX proposed a re-usable rocket, that can go to outer space, deliver someequipment, satellites, or even people to the outer space, and get back to earth to land again in a specifiedparking point. Where it can be re-fuelled, go through careful maintenance, and go through anotherjourney again. You are regularly requested by your manager to provide technical reports andtheoretical explanations about the main components and operational concepts related to these spaceshuttles. [https://www.spacex.com/]Task 1:Concerned with the number of maintenance visits the rocket can undergo before being out of service, you havebeen informed that the recent statics show a that after the first journey to the outer space, the rocket was sentto service once, and…
