Sea anemones are predatory invertebrates with stinging tentacles that can paralyze many sea animals. The clownfish is immune to the sting of the sea anemone and actually lives among its tentacles. The relationship is mutually beneficial—the clownfish often lures meat-eating animals over to the anemone, and the anemone benefits from the meal. The clownfish often gets to eat leftovers from the anemone’s meal. When the clown fish is ready to lay eggs, it lays them near a sea anemone. How’s this a reproductive strategy?

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?
