City A and city B are located at the same latitude and elevation. City A is a coastal city, and city B is located far inland. A cold surface current flows by the coastline where city A is located. Which statement is most likely true for these cities? Choose the correct answer.

During the fall, city B experiences more hurricanes than city A experiences.

During the summer, city B experiences cooler weather than city A experiences.

During the winter, city B experiences warmer weather than city A experiences.

During the spring, city B experiences more thunderstorms than city A experiences.

Which of the following is an easy way to remember the modified “x” tire rotation? a. nondrive wheels straight, cross the drive wheels b. drive wheels straight, cross the nondrive wheels c. drive wheels crossed, nondrive wheels straight d. drive wheels crossed, nondrive wheels crossed

Acompressor receives the shaft work to decrease the pressure of the fluid. a)- true b)- false

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.
