Akettle heats 1.75 kg of water. the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water is 3.34 x 106 j/kg. how much energy would be needed to boil off the water? write the answer out in full (i. e. not in standard form).

Which of the following describes something an engineer would probably do first when developing new technology meant to reduce ocean pollution? o a. evaluate the benefits and challenges of using certain chemicals to purify water. o b. research new scientific findings in regard to ocean cleanup. o c. identify the need to reduce ocean pollution. o d. research what has been done in the past to clean up oceanic oil residue.

Agas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston–cylinder device. the piston has a mass of 3.2 kg and a cross-sectional area of 35 cm2. a compressed spring above the piston exerts a force of 190 n on the piston. if the atmospheric pressure is 95 kpa, determine the pressure inside the cylinder.

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
