Starting from the results of Examples 5.4 and 5.5, estimate the number of cubic meters of water that would flow each second through an OTEC plant large enough ( 1000 M W e 1000 MWe) to provide electricity for Miami. Use the approximation of an ideal heat engine as in the examples. If this water flows at a velocity of 4 m / s 4 m/s, what would be the necessary diameter of the pipes?

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.
