Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

(science)study the following ocean currents map. an ocean currents map is shown. on the map the locations for san diego, california and savannah, georgia are marked. there is a looping current from the north past san diego and a looping current from the south near savannah which statement is most likely correct about the average temperatures in san diego, california as compared to savannah, georgia? it is higher in savannah because of the cool ocean currents from the south. it is higher in savannah because of the warm ocean currents from the north. it is lower in san diego because of the warm ocean currents from the south. it is lower in san diego because of the cool ocean currents from the north.

Which is the best predictor of the radioactive nature of an isotope? o the proton-to-electron ratio the neutron-to-proton ratio o the neutron-to-electron ratio the electron-to-proton ratio
