When we see a meteor shower, it means that

a. earth is crossing the orbit of a comet the solar wind is unusually strong meteor dust
b. is causing rain drops to condense in our atmosphere
c. an earth-approaching asteroid
d. has recently come very close to our planet

In a steady-flow steam power plant system, two adiabatic high-pressure and low-pressure turbines ane used to generate power. superheated steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 8 mpa and 550°c. the steam expands in the high-pressure turbine to a saturated vapor at 3 mpa. in order to increase the powe generation of the power plant, another steam turbine working in a lower pressure ranges is deployed. the outlet vapor from the first turbine is heated up at a boiler to the temperature of 500 c at the constant pressure of first turbine's outlet (3 mpa). then, the vapor enters the second turbine and produces extra work. the exit conditions of the second turbine are 5o kpa and 90 percent quality. if the total power output of the power plant is 25 mw, determine a) the mass flow rate of the water (kg/s). b) heat transfer rate in the boiler (mw).

If an object with an initial temperature of 300 k increases its temperature by 1°c every minute, by how many degrees fahrenheit will its temperature have increased in 10 minutes? (a) 6°f (b) 10°f (c) 18°f (d) 30°f

(science)study the following ocean currents map. an ocean currents map is shown. on the map the locations for san diego, california and savannah, georgia are marked. there is a looping current from the north past san diego and a looping current from the south near savannah which statement is most likely correct about the average temperatures in san diego, california as compared to savannah, georgia? it is higher in savannah because of the cool ocean currents from the south. it is higher in savannah because of the warm ocean currents from the north. it is lower in san diego because of the warm ocean currents from the south. it is lower in san diego because of the cool ocean currents from the north.
