A carnot engine operates between two heat reservoirs at temperatures th and tc. an inventor proposes to increase the efficiency

by running one engine between th and an intermediate temperature t and a second engine between t and tc using as input the heat expelled by the first engine.

The efficiency of the first Carnot engine is 
n1 = 1 - Th/T
The efficiency of the second Carnot engine is
n2 = 1 - T/Tc
The total efficiency of the engines put in series is
n = 1 - Th/Tc

Nastasia [14]

The partial pressures of HBr when the system reaches equilibrium is 2.4 X 10⁻¹¹ atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

H₂ + Br₂ ⇒ 2HBr

PH₂ = 0.782atm

PBr₂ = 0.493atm

Kp = (PHBr)²/ (PH₂) (PBr₂) = 1.4 X 10⁻²¹

At equilibrium:

Let 2x = pressure of HBr

PH₂ = 0.782 -x

PBr₂ = 0.493 - x

Kp = (2x)^2 / (0.782-x)(0.493-x)

Now, because Kp is very small, x will be very small compared to 0.782 and 0.493.

Then,

Kp = 1.4X10⁻²¹ = (4x²) / (0.782)(0.493)

x = 1.2X10⁻¹¹

PHBr = 2x = 2.4 X 10⁻¹¹ atm

Therefore, the partial pressures of HBr when the system reaches equilibrium is 2.4 X 10⁻¹¹ atm

Jeff puts on a leather jacket over his sweater. The sweater becomes negatively charged. Which statements about Jeff’s situation
Vinil7 [7]

Following statements are true
(i) The leather jacket has a lower tendency to attract electrons than sweater.
When the sweater and the leather jacket are in contact with each other, the leather jacket loses electrons and thus becomes positively charged. the electrons are gained by the sweater and it becomes negatively charges.
The opposite charge attract. so the sweater ( negatively charged) will attract protons ( positively charged) . The leather jacket ( positively charged) will attract the electrons ( negatively charged).

Steam at 0.6 MPa, 200 oC, enters an insulated nozzle with a velocity of 50 m/s. It leaves at a pressure of 0.15 MPa and a veloci
Rudiy27

Answer:

x2 = 0.99

Explanation:

from superheated water table

at pressure p1 = 0.6MPa and temperature 200 degree celcius

h1 = 2850.6 kJ/kg

From energy equation we have following relation

\dot m( h1+\frac{v1^2}{2}+ gz1 )+ Q = \dot m( h2+\frac{v2^2}{2}+ gz1) + W

\dot m( h1+\frac{v1^2}{2}) = \dot m( h2+\frac{v2^2}{2})

h1+\frac{v1^2}{2} = h2+\frac{v2^2}{2}

2850.6 + [\frac{50^2}{2} * \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/S^2}] = h2 +[ \frac{600^2}{2} * \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/S^2}]

h2 = 2671.85 kJ/kg

from superheated water table

at pressure p2 = 0.15MPa

specific enthalpy of fluid hf = 467.13 kJ/kg

enthalpy change hfg = 2226.0 kJ/kg

specific enthalpy of the saturated gas hg = 2693.1 kJ/kg

as it can be seen from above value hf>h2>hg, so phase 2 is two phase region. so we have

quality of steam x2

h2 = hf + x2(hfg)

2671.85 = 467.13 +x2*2226.0

x2 = 0.99
