20:46:48 prin phy and gen phy problem 15.19 What is the maximum efficiency of a heat engine operating between temperatures of 380 C and 580 C?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> max effic = (T_h - T_c) / T_h T_h = 580C + 273 T_h = 853 K T_c = 380C + 273 T_c = 653 K max effic = (853 K - 653 K) / 853 K max effic = .234
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:47:25 The maximum possible efficiency is (T_h - T_c) / T_h, where T_h and T_c are the absolute max and min operating temperatures. T_h is (580 + 273)K = 853 K and T_c is (380 + 273) K = 653 K, so the maximum theoretical efficiency is max efficiency = (T_h - T_c) / T_h = (853 K - 653 K) / (853 K) = .23, approx. This means that the work done by this engine will be not greater than about 23% of the thermal energy that goes into it.

RESPONSE --> okay .234 * 100 % = 23.4%

20:47:28 query gen phy problem 15.26 source 550 C -> Carnot eff. 28%; source temp for Carnot eff. 35%?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE -->
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:47:31 ** Carnot efficiency is eff = (Th - Tc) / Th. Solving this for Tc we multiply both sides by Th to get eff * Th = Th - Tc so that Tc = Th - eff * Th = Th ( 1 - eff). We note that all temperatures must be absolute so we need to work with the Kelvin scale (adding 273 C to the Celsius temperature to get the Kelvin temperature) If Th = 550 C = 823 K and efficiency is 30% then we have Tc =823 K * ( 1 - .28) = 592 K. Now we want Carnot efficiency to be 35% for this Tc. We solve eff = (Th - Tc) / Th for Th: Tc we multiply both sides by Th to get eff * Th = Th - Tc so that eff * Th - Th = -Tc and Tc = Th - eff * Th or Tc = Th ( 1 - eff) and Th = Tc / (1 - eff). If Tc = 576 K and eff = .35 we get Th = 592 K / ( 1 - .35 ) = 592 C / .6 = 912 K, approx. This is (912 - 273) C = 639 C. **

20:47:35 univ phy problem 20.44 (18.40 10th edition) ocean thermal energy conversion 6 C to 27 C At 210 kW, what is the rate of extraction of thermal energy from the warm water and the rate of absorption by the cold water?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE -->
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:47:37 ** work done / thermal energy required = .07 so thermal energy required = work done / .07. Translating directly to power, thermal energy must be extracted at rate 210 kW / .07 = 30,000 kW. The cold water absorbs what's left after the 210 kW go into work, or 29,790 kW. Each liter supplies 4186 J for every degree, or about 80 kJ for the 19 deg net temp change. Needing 30,000 kJ/sec this requires about 400 liters / sec, or well over a million liters / hour. Comment from student: To be honest, I was suprised the efficiency was so low. Efficiency is low but the energy is cheap and environmental impact in the deep ocean can be negligible so the process can be economical, if a bit ugly. **

16:05:57 Query introductory set 6, problems 1-10 explain how we know that the velocity of a periodic wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> # wavelength segments that pass each second * length of each wavelength segments = velocity of that wave
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
16:06:05 ** we know how many wavelength segments will pass every second, and we know the length of each, so that multiplying the two gives us the velocity with which they must be passing **
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> okay
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
16:11:45 explain how we can reason out that the period of a periodic wave is equal to its wavelength divided by its velocity
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> The wavelength is the distance between peaks. The velocity is how fast the wave is passing. Therefore the period of a periodic wave equals the distance between the peaks divided by the velocity between the peaks.
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
16:12:08 ** If we know how far it is between peaks (wavelength) and how fast the wavetrain is passing (velocity) we can divide the distance between peaks by the velocity to see how much time passes between peaks at a given point. That is, period is wavelength / velocity. **

16:28:53 explain why the equation of motion at a position x along a sinusoidal wave is A sin( `omega t - x / v) if the equation of motion at the x = 0 position is A sin(`omega t)
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> With the position starting at x = 0 the wave travels to another position x. Therefore, the time elapsed is x/v. The new position x is directly related to the initial position x = 0 where t = x / v.
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
16:29:10 ** the key is the time delay. Time for the disturbance to get from x = 0 to position x is x / v. What happens at the new position is delayed by time x/v, so what happens there at clock time t happened at x=0 when clock time was t = x/v. In more detail: If x is the distance down the wave then x / v is the time it takes the wave to travel that distance. What happens at time t at position x is what happened at time t - x/v at position x=0. That expression should be y = sin(`omega * (t - x / v)). } The sine function goes from -1 to 0 to 1 to 0 to -1 to 0 to 1 to 0 ..., one cycle after another. In harmonic waves the motion of a point on the wave (think of the motion of a black mark on a white rope with vertical pulses traveling down the rope) will go thru this sort of motion (down, middle, up, middle, down, etc.) as repeated pulses pass. If I'm creating the pulses at my end, and that black mark is some distance x down in rope, then what you see at the black mark is what I did at time x/v earlier. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................
16:30:04 ** As wavelength decreases you can fit more half-waves onto the string. You can fit one half-wave, or 2 half-waves, or 3, etc.. So you get 1 half-wavelength = string length, or wavelength = 2 * string length; using `lambda to stand for wavelength and L for string length this would be 1 * 1/2 `lambda = L so `lambda = 2 L. For 2 wavelengths fit into the string you get 2 * 1/2 `lambda = L so `lambda = L. For 3 wavelengths you get 3 * 1/2 `lambda = L so `lambda = 2/3 L; etc. } Your wavelengths are therefore 2L, L, 2/3 L, 1/2 L, etc.. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE -->
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
16:30:09 ** The frequency is the number of crests passing per unit of time. We can imagine a 1-second chunk of the wave divided into segments each equal to the wavelength. The number of peaks is equal to the length of the entire chunk divided by the length of a 1-wavelength segment. This is the number of peaks passing per second. So frequency is equal to the wave velocity divided by the wavelength. **

The second harmonic is from node to antinode to node to antinode, or 4/3. the third and fourth harmonics would therefore be 5/4 and 7/4 respectively. **

21:12:56 ** Basic precalculus: For any function f(x) the graph of f(x-h) is translated `dx = h units in the x direction from the graph of y = f(x). The graph of y = sin(k * x - omega * t) = sin(k * ( x - omega / k * t) ) is translated thru displacement `dx = omega / k * t relative to the graph of sin(k x). At t=0, omega * t is zero and we have the original graph of y = .75 cm * sin( k x). The graph of y vs. x forms a sine curve with period 2 pi / k, in this case 2 pi / (pi * .4 cm^-1) = 5 cm which is the wavelength. A complete cycle occurs between x = 0 and x = 5 cm, with zeros at x = 0 cm, 2.5 cm and 5 cm, peak at x = 1.25 cm and 'valley' at x = 3.75 cm. At t=.0005, we are graphing y = .75 cm * sin( k x + .0005 omega), shifted -.0005 * omega / k = -.313 cm in the x direction. The sine wave of the t=0 function y = .75 cm * sin(kx) is shifted -.313 cm, or .313 cm left so now the zeros are at -.313 cm and every 2.5 cm to the right of that, with the peak shifted by -.313 cm to x = .937 cm. At t=.0010, we are graphing y = .75 cm * sin( k x + .0010 omega), shifted -.0010 * omega / k = -.625 cm in the x direction. The sine wave of the t = 0 function y = .75 cm * sin(kx) is shifted -.625 cm, or .625 cm left so now the zeros are at -.625 cm and every 2.5 cm to the right of that, with the peak shifted by -.625 cm to x = +.625 cm. The sequence of graphs clearly shows the motion of the wave to the left at 625 cm / s. **
