Problem 6.056 Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 15 lbf/in.2, 80°F and exits at 275°F. Stray heat transfer and

kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air, determine the maximum theoretical pressure at the exit, in lbf/in.2 p2,max = lbf/in.2

To solve this process it is necessary to consider the concepts related to the relations between pressure and temperature in an adiabatic process.

By definition the relationship between pressure and temperature is given by

(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^{(\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1})}

Here

P = Pressure

T = Temperature

\gamma =The ratio of specific heats. For air normally is 1.4.

Our values are given as,

P_1 = 15lb/in^2\\T_1= 80\°F = 299.817K\\T_2 =400\°F = 408.15K

Therefore replacing we have,

(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^{(\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1})}

(\frac{P_2}{15})=(\frac{408.15}{299.817})^{(\frac{1.4}{1.4-1})}

Solving for P_2,

P_2 = 15*(\frac{408.15}{299.817})^{(\frac{1.4}{1.4-1})}

P_2 = 44.15Lbf/in^2

Therefore the maximum theoretical pressure at the exit is 44.15Lbf/in^2

Answer:

The speed was 26.91m/s (96.9 km/h)

Explanation:

Here you have to consider that at the beginning you have an amount of kinetic energy (K) that is dissipated because of the work done by friction forces (T). Since the car is stopped after the accident, all the energy has been dissipated. Thus, K=T.

The definition of the kinetic energy is K=1/2*m*v^2.

The work done by the friction forces is: T=f*(m*g)*d. Where <em>f</em> is the friction coefficient, <em>g</em> is the gravity acceleration, <em>m i</em>s the mass of the car and <em>d</em> is the skid marks longitude. Therefore,

1.2*m*v^2=f*(m*g)*d

Since <em>m</em> is in both sides it can be cancelled so it is not necessary to considered.

Then, the speed is determined by the following equation:

v=\sqrt{2*f*g*d} =\sqrt{2*0.42*9.8m/s^2*88 m}=26.91 m/s

Nonmetals are usually _____ which means that they evaporate easily.
steposvetlana [31]

<span>The answer to this question is that non metals are volatile. Volatile means evaporating easily. Non metals have the characteristics and properties of being brittle and poor conductors of heat and electricity. Non metals are also good oxidizing agents and physically they may be in liquid, solid or gas state. Examples of non metals are carbon, sulfur, argon, neon, and hydrogen.</span>

Where do glaciers form
Yuki888 [10]
Glaciers<span> begin to </span>form<span> when snow remains in the same area year-round, where enough snow accumulates to transform into ice. Each year, new layers of snow bury and compress the previous layers. This compression forces the snow to re-crystallize, forming grains similar in size and shape to grains of sugar.</span>
