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?

Two models of the same compound are shown. in what way is model b better than model a? model b shows the types of elements in the compound, but model a does not. model b shows the three-dimensional shape of the molecule, but model a does not. model b shows how the atoms in the molecule are connected, but model a does not. model b shows the number of atoms of each element in the molecule, but model a does not

Verify that the indicated function is an explicit solution of the given differential equation. assume an appropriate interval i of definition for each solution.
