At a steam power plant, steam engines work in pairs, the heat output of the first one being the approximate heat input of the second. the operating temperatures of the first are 740∘c and 440 ∘c, and of the second 415 ∘c and 270 ∘c.
part a
if the heat of combustion of coal is 2.8×107j/kg, at what rate must coal be burned if the plant is to put out 950 mw of power? assume the efficiency of the engines is 65% of the ideal (carnot) efficiency.
express your answer using two significant figures.
part b
water is used to cool the power plant. if the water temperature is allowed to increase by no more than 4.5∘c, estimate how much water must pass through the plant per hour.

Copper has free electrons per cubic meter. a 71.0-cm length of 12-gauge copper wire that is 2.05 mm in diameter carries 4.85 a of current. (a) how much time does it take for an electron to travel the length of the wire? (b) repeat part (a) for 6-gauge copper wire (diameter 4.12 mm) of the same length that carries the same current. (c) generally speaking, how does changing the diameter of a wire that carries a given amount of current affect the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire?
