Thermodynamics: Thermal Machines

Medium

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Medium of Physics

In a city, a thermoelectric power plant operates with a thermal machine that uses water in the form of steam to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy and, subsequently, into electrical energy. Suppose that the steam entering the turbine of the power plant is at 420°C and 25 MPa, while at the exit the pressure drops to 0.1 MPa and the thermal efficiency of the machine is 40%. Considering a quantity of 1000 kg/s of water vapor circulating in the cycle and using the saturated steam table for analysis, calculate the power generated by the power plant.
a.
520 MW
b.
410 MW
c.
350 MW
d.
580 MW
e.
470 MW

An isovolumetric transformation is a chemical process in which the volume of a system is kept constant. In this process, the internal energy of the system can be changed through the transfer of heat between the system and the external environment. Which of the following statements is correct?

A student is observing an object through a converging lens with a focal length of 10 cm. The object is located 40 cm away from the lens. (Consider that the thin lens approximation is valid). Based on this information: 1) Calculate the position of the image formed by the lens. 2) Determine the size of the image relative to the size of the object, knowing that the lens obeys the Gauss equation (1/f = 1/p + 1/p'), where f is the focal distance of the lens, p is the distance from the object to the lens, and p' is the distance from the image to the lens, all measured in cm. Consider that the coordinate system used has its origin at the lens's optical center, with the main axis oriented positively to the right, and that real images have a positive sign and virtual images have a negative sign.
