The energy exhaust from a certain coal-fired electric generating station is carried by cooling water into Lake Ontario. The water is warm from the viewpoint of living things in the lake. Some of them congregate around the outlet port and can impede the water flow. (a) Use the theory of heat engines to explain why this at lion can reduce the electric power output of the station, (b) An engineer says that the electric output is reduced because of higher back pressure on the turbine blades Comment on the accuracy of this statement.
A 75-kg sprinter accelerates from rest to a speed of 11.0 m/s in 5.0 s. (a) Calculate the mechanical work done by the sprinter during this time. (b) Calculate the average power the sprinter must generate. (c) If the sprinter converts food energy to mechanical energy with an efficiency of 25%, at what average rate is he burning Calories? (d) What happens to the other 75% of the food energy being used?
You are working on a summer job at a company that designs non-traditional energy systems. The company is working on a proposed electric power plant that would make use of the temperature gradient in the ocean. The system includes a heat engine that would operate between 20.0C (surface-water temperature) and 5.00C (water temperature at a depth of about 1 km). (a) Your supervisor asks you to determine the maximum efficiency of such a system. (b) In addition, if the electric power output of the plant is 75.0 MW and it operates at the maximum theoretically possible efficiency, you must determine the rate at which energy is taken in from the warm reservoir. (c) From this information, if an electric bill for a typical home shows a use of 950 kWh per month, your supervisor wants to know how many homes can be provided with power from this energy system operating at its maximum efficiency. (d) As energy is drawn from the warm surface water to operate the engine, it is replaced by energy absorbed from sunlight on the surface. If the average intensity absorbed from sunlight is 650 W/m2 for 12 daylight hours on a clear day, you need to find the area of the ocean surface that is necessary for sunlight to replace the energy absorbed into the engine. (e) From this information, you need to determine if there is enough ocean surface on the Earth to use such engines to supply the electrical needs for all the homes associated with the Earths population. Assume the energy use for a home in part (c) is an average over the entire planet. (f) In view of your results in this problem, your supervisor has asked for your conclusion as to whether such a system is worthwhile to pursue. Note that the fuel (sunlight) is free.
A power plant, having a Carnot efficiency, produces electric power P from turbines that take in energy from steam at temperature Tk and discharge energy at temperature Tk through a heat exchanger into a flowing river. The water downstream is warmer by T due to the output of the power plant. Determine the flow rate of the river.
Suppose a highly trained athlete consumes oxygen at a rate of 70.0 mL/ (min kg) during a 30.0-min workout. If the athletes mass is 78.0 kg and their body functions as a heat engine with a 20.0% efficiency, calculate (a) their metabolic rate in kcal/min and (b) the thermal energy in kcal released during the workout.
