    What is the true statement about Carnot engine efficiency?

    I would say d is the correct answer here, a is completely false due to the second law of thermodynamcs(never can all heat be converted into pure work),b is obviously not true, c would not have a positive entropy change andhence does not occur spontaneously, e doesn't make sense...hence my choice...

    What is the impact of heat loss on the exit temperature of steam in a turbine?

    A steam turbine in a power plant accepts 4500 kg/hr of steam at 60 bar and 500°C and exhausts steam at 10 bar. Heat transfer to the surroundings (Tsurr = 300K) at a rate of 70 kW. (a) What condition needs to be satisfied for the turbine to generate the maximum possible power? I said...

    Prooving Area of Circle Equation

    I understand the intergal you did completely, no probs there! okay here's wat i don't get, how did you change the limits which i had i had, ie 0 and 5 sin u into numbers which I can actaually substitute into the intergal and then solve, it is irrlevant whether a quarter circle or half circle...

    No Its A Half Circle! SORRY! just rechecked the Q, its a semi circle, not a quarter!

    Prooving Area of Circle Equation

    sorry the question is to proove using intergation techniques and this quarter circle as an example, that the area of a quarter circle is 1/4*pi*r^2. Ie intergrate the given integral and compare that to the area of a circle formula and see that they match. However, the question stipulates that...

    Prooving Area of Circle Equation

    Hi, i am hoping that someone could help me or give me a hint for the follwing question...i will show what I have done so far The area of a quarter circle given is Integral sqrt(25-x^2) dx Use the substitution x = 5 sinu to evaluate this def integral exactly an show that your answer is...

    Proving v^2 = n^2 (A^2-x^2) from v dv/dx = -n^2x

    well thanks for that, and I am sorry about the english...just typing quickly and didn't realize correct grammer is required in a Maths forum...but never the less thanks

    Proving v^2 = n^2 (A^2-x^2) from v dv/dx = -n^2x

    hey guys, just hpoping sum1 could point me in the rite direction...i can't wrk out how to proove v^2=n^2 (A^2-x^2) from v dv/dx = -n^2x obviously you hav to integrate...but i don't know how they get the A into the equation?? what i hav tried is intergating both sides with recpect to x...
