Refrigerant-134a enters a compressor at 180 kPa as a saturated vapor with a flow rate of 0.35 m3/min and leaves at 900 kPa. The

power supplied to the refrigerant during the compression process is 2.35 kW. What is the temperature of R-134a at the exit of the compressor

Answer:

52.5°C

Explanation:

The final enthalpy is determined from energy balance where initial enthalpy and specific volume are obtained from A-12 for the given pressure and state

mh1 + W = mh2

h2 = h1 + W/m

h1 + Wα1/V1

242.9 kJ/kg + 2.35.0.11049kJ/ 0.35/60kg

=287.4 kJ/kg

From the final enthalpy and pressure the final temperature is obtained A-13 using interpolation

i.e T2 = T1 + T2 -T1/h2 -h1(h2 - h1)

= 50°C + 60 - 50/295.15 - 284.79

(287.4 - 284.79)°C

= 52.5°C

A man pushes a heavy cart with a force exerted of 250 Newtons to keep it moving at a constant velocity. What is the kinetic fric

miv72 [106K]

It can't be less than 250 N or the cart wouldn't move at all. That means there is only 1 answer. It's between not enough info or 250 N. The answer is 250 N. If it was any more, there would be acceleration.

Light from a laser of wavelength λ1 shines normally on a pair of narrow slits separated by distance D. This results in a differe

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The angular position of first intensity maxima is given by the expression

= λ / d where λ is wave length of light and d is slit separation

putting the values given in the problem. ,

.02 = λ₁ / D

Now wavelength has been increased to 2λ₁

angular separation of first maxima

= 2λ₁ /D

= 2 x .02

= .04 radians.

A ball is bouncing to a height that is 1/3 of the previous height after every bounce. What kind of sequence is this? How could y

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer and Explanation:

The ball is bouncing to a height of 1/3 of its previous height this is a type of geometric sequence the total distance can be found by the sum of geometric sequence

For example let the initial height is 243 fit

After one bounce it will reach 243/3 =81 feet

After second bounce 81/3=27 feet

After third bounce 27/3 =9 feet

After fourth bounce 9/3 =3 feet

So a sequence is formed that is 243,81,27,9,3..........

Here $r=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}$

Sum of infinite GP = $\frac{a}{1-r}$

From this formula we can find the total distance traveled by the ball

A 23.5 g piece of aluminum metal is initially at 100.0°C. It is dropped into a coffee cup-calorimeter containing 130.0 g of wate

vivado [14]

Answer: The molar heat capacity of aluminum is $25.3J/mol^0C$

Explanation:

$heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}$

As we know that,

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]$ .................(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of water = 130.0 g

$m_2$ = mass of aluminiunm = 23.5 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = $26.0^oC=(273+26)K=299K$

$T_1$ = temperature of water = $23^oC=(273+23)K=296K$

$T_2$ = temperature of aluminium = $100^oC=273+100=373K$

$c_1$ = specific heat of water= $4.184J/g^0C$

$c_2$ = specific heat of aluminium= ?

Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get

$130.0\times 4.184\times (299-296)=-[23.5\times c_2\times (299-373)]$

$c_2=0.938J/g^0C$

Molar mass of Aluminium = 27 g/mol

Thus molar heat capacity = $0.938J/g^0C\times 27g/mol=25.3J/mol^0C$

An acorn with a mass of 0.300 kilograms falls from a tree. What is its kinetic energy when it reaches a velocity of 5.oo m/s?

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: 3.75 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of acorn = 0.300 kilograms

velocity = 5.oo m/s

Kinetic energy = ?

Since, kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, its value depends on the mass M and velocity V of the acorn.

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

= 1/2 x 0.300kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.5 x 0.3kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.15 x (5.00m/s)^2

= 3.75 joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the falling acorn is 3.75 joules
