Meteorologists study how tornadoes and hurricanes form. What are they hoping to learn?Meteorologists Meteorologists hope hope to to be be able able to to predict predict violent violent storms storms faster faster and and save save lives lives by by creating creating a a more more advanced advanced warning warning system. System. Meteorologists Meteorologists hope hope to to be be the the first first to to go go inside inside of of a a tornado. Tornado. Meteorologists Meteorologists hope hope to to learn learn how how to to stop stop a a tornado tornado or or hurricane hurricane before before it it starts. Starts. Meteorologists Meteorologists want want to to be be able able to to track track violent violent storms. Storms.

A150 w lamp emits light of wavelength 590 nm uniformly in all directions. what is the photon flux (photons per unit area per unit time) on a small screen at a distance 2.3 m from the lamp? assume the photons are uniformly distributed over the surface of a sphere of radius 2.3 m.

Which statements about tornadoes are true? check all that apply. (a) about 12,000 tornadoes hit the united states every year. (b) a tornado looks like a funnel. (c) tornadoes are deadly atmospheric storms that cause millions in damages each year. (d) tornadoes can reach wind speeds of more than 300 miles per hour. (e) kansas is the state with the most tornadoes. (f) you will always notice a funnel before a tornado strikes.

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.
