A certain brand of hotdog cooker works by applying a potential difference of 146 V across opposite ends of a hot dog and allowing it to cook by means of the thermal energy produced. The current is 12.8 A, and the energy required to cook one hot dog is 60.8 kJ. If the rate at which energy is supplied is unchanged, how long will it take to cook three hot dogs simultaneously? Number i Units

Water falls from a height of 500 m and the mass of water is 50 kg. What is approximately the rise in temperature of water at the bottom if the whole energy is used to heat the water? Specific heat of water is 4.18 kJ/kg-deg C. O 5000 deg C O 1173 deg C O 500 deg C O 0.23 deg C O none of the above
Steam enters a turbine at 30 bar, 300°C (u = 2750 kJ/kg, h = 2993 kJ/kg) and exits the condenser as saturated liquid at 15 kPa (u = 225 kJ/kg. h = 226 kJ/kg). Heat loss to the surrounding is 50kJ/kg of steam flowing through the turbine. Neglecting changes in kinetic energy and potential energy, the work output of the turbine (in kJ/kg of steam) is
