The amount of work done in a certain amount of time?

The amount of work done in a certain amount of time is the power.Power is measured in watts, and is defined as joules per second. Work is a mechanical form of energy. Dimensionally, it is Force*Distance. Typical units are ft-lb or watt-seconds. Power is the rate of work, dimensionally Force*Distance/Time. Typical units could be ft-lb/hour, or watt.


What does MBh mean in air conditioning terms?

MBh stands for One Thousand BTU per hour. BTU stands for British Thermal Unit. MBh units should help with the cost estimate of running your air conditioning (AC). It's a measure of the heating/cooling capacity of AC equipment.MBH - One MBH is equivalent to 1,000 BTU's per hour. The 'M' is derived from the Roman Numeral M that equals 1000. Such as MMIX = 2009.(This M is often confused with the SI (Système International) 'M' which stands for the prefix Mega, equal to One Million (1,000,000). Note BTUs and therefore MBH are Imperial Units.)BTU - A standard unit of measurement used to denote both the amount of heat energy in fuels and the ability of appliances and air conditioning systems to produce heating or cooling. It is is the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a pint of water by one degree Fahrenheit. BTUs are measurements of energy consumption, and can be converted directly to kilowatt-hours (3412 BTUs = 1 kWh) or joules (1 BTU = 1,055.06 joules). A wooden match produce approximately 1 BTU.


What is the formula to calculate heat energy if resistance known?

J (Joules) = Kg (Mass) x Specific Heat (Sometimes C, which is calories, but most times specific heat which is q) x Delta T (Change in temperature). J = m*q*▲T

If the input energy is 210 joules and the efficiency of the system is 30%,then the output energy is30% of 210 = (0.3 x 210) = 63 joules.


What does efficiency tell you about a machine?

The efficiency of a machine tells you how much usefull energy it will put out compared to the amount of energy that's put in. The usefull output energy is usually less (never greater) then the input because of energy loss due to frictional heating. For example if 120 joules of energy or work is put into a lifting machine, you might only get out 110 joules of lifting work because 10 joules is lost to heat. The efficiency of the machine is then ; (110/120) x 100% = 91.7% . I think for most practical machines anything above 90% efficient is quite good. (The terms work & energy are used interchangebly here because work is a transfer of energy).

Joules


What is the mechanical advantage of using machines?

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of output force to input force. In other words, F out/F in. Output force is the work done by the machine while input force is what the host (you) did to the machine. Work is always displayed with the label of joules.
