Determine the speed of sound in air at 400 K. Also determine the Mach number of an aircraft moving in the air at a velocity of 3

10 m/s.
The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kJ/kg*K. Its specific heat ratio at room temperature is k = 1.4.

Answer:

\alpha = \sqrt{1.4 *0.287 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}*\frac{1000J}{1KJ} *400 K}= 400.899 m/s

Ma= \frac{310 m/s}{400.899 m/s}= 0.773

Explanation:

For this case we have given the following data:

T= 400 K represent the temperature for the air

v = 310 m/s represent the velocity of the air

k = 1.4 represent the specific heat ratio at the room

R = 0.287 KJ/ Kg K represent the gas constant  for the air

And we want to find the velocity of the air under these conditions.

We can calculate the spped of the sound with the Newton-Laplace Equation given by this equation:

\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{K}{\rho}}=\sqrt{k RT}

Where K = is the Bulk Modulus of air, k is the adiabatic index of air= 1.4, R = the gas constant  for the air, \rho the density of the air and T the temperature in K

So on this case we can replace and we got:

\alpha = \sqrt{1.4 *0.287 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}*\frac{1000J}{1KJ} *400 K}= 400.899 m/s

The Mach number by definition is "a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound" and is defined as:

Ma=\frac{v}{\alpha}

Where v is the flow velocity and \alpha the volocity of the sound in the medium and if we replace we got:

Ma= \frac{310 m/s}{400.899 m/s}= 0.773

And since the Ma<0.8 we can classify the regime as subsonic.

An excavation is at risk for cave-in and water accumulation because of the excess soil that has accumulated. What type of excava
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Among the different types of excavation protection system, as a way of preventing accidents against cave-ins, the sloping involves cutting back the trench wall at an angle inclined away from the excavation. Shoring requires installing aluminum hydraulic or other types of supports to prevent soil movement and cave-ins. Shielding protects workers by using trench boxes or other types of supports to prevent soil cave-ins (OSHA). In addition, the regulations do not allow employees to work on excavations where there is an accumulation of water. If this occurs, water on the site must be constantly removed by suitable equipment preventing water from accumulating. The entry of surface water into the excavations must also be prevented by means of diversion ditches, dam, or other suitable means.

Any change in the system from one equilibrium state to another is called: A) Path B) Process C) Cycle D) None of the above
dexar [7]

Answer:

B) Process

Explanation:

In thermodynamics a process is a passage of a thermodynamic system from an initial to a final state of thermodynamic equilibrium.

A thermodynamic process path is the series of states through which a system passes from an initial to a final state.

Cycle is a process in which initial and final state are identical.

Alinara [238K]
So I’m thinking C because they both have a lot to do with design here is my evidence. Structural engineering is a component of civil engineering which focuses on the design and development of infrastructures such as bridges, skyscrapers, dams. Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment. I may be wrong but hope this helped!
