Why is pseudoscience bad?

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

Science and technology are interdependent. advances in one lead to advances in the other. give an example of this phenomenon.

A0.750 kg aluminum pan is removed from the stove and plunged into a sink filled with 10.0 kg of water at 293 k. the water temperature quickly rises to 297 k. what was the initial temperature of the aluminum pan? the specific heat of aluminum is ca = 900 j/(kgk) and water is cw = 4190 j/(kgk)
