it has been estimated that 139.2x10^6 m^2 of rainforest is destroyed each day. assume that the initial area of tropical rainforest is 20x10^12 m^2.

a) what is the exponential rate of rainforest destruction in units of 1/days?

b) if there were 24.5x10^12 m^2 of tropical rainforest on earth in 1975, how miuch tropical rainforect would be left on earth in 2015 if the exponential rate of destruction determined in part (a) stayed constant over this time interval?

c) if tropical rainforests remove 0.83 kg (c)/m^2-year from the atmosphere, how much less carbon [kg(c)] would be removed in 2025 compared to removed in 1975?

Consider a power plant with water as the working fluid that operates on an ideal rankine cycle. it has a net power output of 45mw. superheated steam enters the turbine at 7mpa and 500°c (h=3411.4 kj/kg; s=6.8 kj/kg k) and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kpa by running cooling water from a lake through the tubes of the condenser at a rate of 2000 kg/s. (a) show the cycle on a t-s diagram (a right schematic is fine - you do not need to calculate the temperatures at each point); (b)-determine the work done by the turbine and the pump in kj/kg; (c)-the mass flow rate of water used by the power plant; (d)-the thermal efficiency of the cycle; (e)-the temperature rise of the cooling water. assume the cooling water is incompressible with cp 4.18 kj/kg°c.
