Which of the following is true about silicosis?

Engineering
1 answer:
user100 [1]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D. The damage it causes is irreversible

Explanation:

Silicosis is a long term lung disease caused by crystalline silica dust inhalation. There is no cure, and once the damage is done it cannot be reversed.

------------------

Like stated above, the damage is irreversible. Option A is incorrect.

Construction workers are constantly moving to build whatever they're working on. The disease will make it hard to breathe and will have a heavy effect on their lungs, preventing them from properly doing their jobs. Additionally, it's possible to get the disease from this job since you're constantly inhaling dust particles.

Silicosis does major damage to the lungs. The dust particles are attacked by the immune system which causes inflammation and eventually leads to areas of hardened and scarred lung tissue.

Thus, the best option is D.

hope this helps :)

Argon is compressed in a polytropic process with n = 1.2 from 120 kPa and 10°C to 850 kPa in a piston–cylinder device. Determine
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

W=-109.12 kJ/kg

Q=-76.34 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The needed work W we will calculate by using the work equation for polytropic process and the heat transfer Q we will calculate by using the energy balance equation.

Before the calculations we first need to determine the final temperature T2. We will do that by using the given initial temperature T1 = 10°C, the given initial p_1 = 120 kPa and final p_2 = 800 kPa pressure and the polytropic index n = 1.2. Before the calculation we need to express the temperature in K units.  

T1 = 10°C + 273 K = 283 K  

T2 = ((p_2/p_1)^(n-1)/n)* T1

T2 = 388 K

Now we can use the heat capacity C_v, = 0.3122 kJ /kg K and the temperatures T1 and T2 to determine the change in internal energy ΔU.  

ΔU = C_v*(T2-T1)

ΔU = 32.78 kJ/kg

to determine the work we will also need the initial v1 and final v2 specific volume. The initial specific volume v1 we can determine from the ideal gas equation. For the calculation we will need the initial pressure p_1, temperature T1 and the specific gas constant R = 0.2081 kJ /kg K.  

v1=R*T1/p_1

v1=0.4908 m^3/kg

For the final specific volume we need to replace the initial temperature and pressure with the final.  

v2=R*T2/p_2

v2=0.1009 m^3/kg

The work W is then:  

W=p_2*v2-p_1*v1/n-1

W=-109.12 kJ/kg

The heat transfer Q we can calculate form the energy balance equation. For the calculation we will need the calculated work W and the change in internal energy ΔU.  

Q=W+ΔU

Q=-76.34 kJ/kg
