A gasoline engine has a piston/cylinder with 0.1 kg air at 4 MPa, 1527◦C after combustion, and this is expanded in a polytropic
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The expansion work is 71.24 kJ and heat transfer is -16.89 kJ

Explanation:

From ideal gas law,

Initial volume (V1) = nRT/P

n is the number of moles of air in the cylinder = mass/MW = 0.1/29 = 0.00345 kgmol

R is gas constant = 8314.34 J/kgmol.K

T is initial temperature = 1527 °C = 1527+273 = 1800 K

P is initial pressure = 4 MPa = 4×10^6 Pa

V1 = 0.00345×8314.34×1800/(4×10^6) = 0.013 m^3

V2 = 10×V1 = 10×0.013 = 0.13 m^3

The process is a polytropic expansion process

polytropic exponent (n) = 1.5

P2 = P1(V1/V2)^n = 4×10^6(0.013/0.13)^1.5 = 1.26×10^5 Pa

Expansion work = (P1V1 - P2V2) ÷ (n - 1) = (4×10^6 × 0.013 - 1.26×10^5 × 0.13) ÷ (1.5 - 1) = 35620 ÷ 0.5 = 71240 J = 71240/1000 = 71.24 kJ

Heat transfer = change in internal energy + expansion work

change in internal energy (∆U) = Cv(T2 - T1)

T2 = PV/nR = 1.26×10^5 × 0.13/0.00345×8314.34 = 571 K

Cv = 20.785 kJ/kgmol.K

∆U = 20.785(571 - 1800) = -25544.765 kJ/kgmol × 0.00345 kgmol = -88.13 kJ

Heat transfer = -88.13 + 71.24 = -16.89 kJ

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The cult of personality that surrounded Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union led soviet citizens to believe that there was undisputed support for Stalin both among the government and the common people. In turn, this fueled self-censorship and made political change harder. This cult of personality was achieved through propaganda and censorship, as the Communist Party had control of all mass media. This desire to make himself a "god-like" figure was also an attempt to increase acceptance of communism among the people and to boost morale.

Given a 12-bit A/D converter operating over a voltage range from ????5 V to 5 V, how much does the input voltage have to change,
Doss [256]

Answer:

2.44 mV

Explanation:

This question has to be one of analog quantization size questions and as such, we use the formula

Q = (V₂ - V₁) / 2^n

Where

n = 12

V₂ = higher voltage, 5 V

V₁ = lower voltage, -5 V

Q = is the change in voltage were looking for

On applying the formula and substitutiting the values we have

Q = (5 - -5) / 2^12

Q = 10 / 4096

Q = 0.00244 V, or we say, 2.44 mV
