The reason has to do with the amount of work necessary to remove heat from a substance, which increases substantially the colder you try to go. To reach zero kelvins, you would require an infinite amount of work.

I ran across this symbol in some Electrical wiring documents and I am unaware of what this means. Any help?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Opened Push-button Switch (i.e. a PTM Switch)

Explanation:

Tha's just another symbol for a switch, but this one specifies that the switch is a push-button type of switch.

Since it's not touching and completing the line, the state of the switch is initially open.

The pressure of a gas in a rigid container is 125kpa at 300k, what we be the new pressure if the temperature increases to 900k​
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

375 KPa

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial pressure (P₁) = 125 KPa

Initial temperature (T₁) = 300 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 900 K

Final pressure (P₂) =?

The new (i.e final) pressure of the gas can be obtained as follow:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

125 / 300 = P₂ / 900

Cross multiply

300 × P₂ = 125 × 900

300 × P₂ = 112500

Divide both side by 300

P₂ = 112500 / 300

P₂ = 375 KPa

Thus, the new pressure of the gas is 375 KPa

Steam enters a turbine at 8000 kPa, 440oC. At the exit, the pressure and quality are 150 kPa and 0.19, respectively.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

\dot W_{out} = 3863.98\,kW

Explanation:

The turbine at steady-state is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

-\dot Q_{out} -\dot W_{out} + \dot m \cdot (h_{in}-h_{out}) = 0

The specific enthalpies at inlet and outlet are, respectively:

Inlet (Superheated Steam)

h_{in} = 3353.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

Outlet (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

h_{out} = 890.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

The power produced by the turbine is:

\dot W_{out}=-\dot Q_{out} + \dot m \cdot (h_{in}-h_{out})

\dot W_{out} = -2.93\,kW + (1.57\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot (3353.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 890.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )

\dot W_{out} = 3863.98\,kW
