If a locomotive uses steam at 100°C, and dumps heat into air
at 22.0°C, what is the highest
possible efficiency it could have?

79%

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Input temperature = 100°C

Output temperature = 22°C

Efficiency =.?

Next, we shall convert celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature.

This is illustrated below:

T(K) = T (°C) + 273

Input temperature = 100°C

Input temperature in Kelvin = 100°C + 273 = 373K

Output temperature = 22°C

Output temperature in Kelvin = 22°C + 273 = 295K

Finally, we shall determine the efficiency of the locomotive as follow:

Efficiency = output /input x 100

Output = 295K

Input = 373K

Efficiency =?

Efficiency = output /input x 100

Efficiency = 295/373 x 100

Efficiency = 79%

Therefore, the efficiency of the locomotive is 79%.

answer: option c. i.e. electric current flowing “downhill” from the negative electrode to the positive electrode in a battery

explanation:

the water analogy to the circuits define the pipes (water flows) to the electric current. now, we know that the electric current flows from the positive terminal to the circuit (as shown in the diagram attached).

hence, option c is the correct answer.

answer; the correct answer is technician a; ///100%good luck
