Nomenclature of “positive” and “negative” had already been so well established in
the scientific community that no effort was made to change it. Thus, we describe
the direction of current based on
_movement, which is the

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?

Avolcano erupts next to a grassland area in a valley. a. describe three ways in which material released by the volcano could impact the grassland area. b. describe three ways in which the grassland ecosystem could recover after a volcanic eruption.

Which of the following is a characteristic shared by both electron and light microscopes? a. they both employ the use of objective lenses. b. both microscopes require an internal camera to visualize the specimen. c. both microscopes have a resolving power of 0.01 nm. d. they both utilize white light to magnify the specimen.
