Calculate the ideal efficiency of a ship’s boiler when steam comes out at 530 K, pushes through a steam turbine, and exits into a condenser that is kept at 290 K by circulating seawater.

The ideal efficiency of a ship’s boiler.
Answer to Problem 27A
The ideal efficiency of a ship’s boiler is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The temperature of the Steam from the boiler
The temperature of the steam exiting into the condenser
Formula used:
The ideal efficiency of a heat engine is given by the expression,
Calculation:
Substitute the values of the variables in the formula and calculate the ideal efficiency.
Express the efficiency of the engine in percentage.
Conclusion:
Thus, ideal efficiency of a ship’s boiler is

- Example Two charges, one with +10 μC of charge, and another with - 7.0 μC of charge are placed in line with each other and held at a fixed distance of 0.45 m. Where can you put a 3rd charge of +5 μC, so that the net force on the 3rd charge is zero?arrow_forward* Coulomb's Law Example Three charges are positioned as seen below. Charge 1 is +2.0 μC and charge 2 is +8.0μC, and charge 3 is - 6.0MC. What is the magnitude and the direction of the force on charge 2 due to charges 1 and 3? 93 kq92 F == 2 r13 = 0.090m 91 r12 = 0.12m 92 Coulomb's Constant: k = 8.99x10+9 Nm²/C² ✓arrow_forwardMake sure to draw a Free Body Diagram as wellarrow_forward
