A reciprocating compressor is a device that compresses air by a back-and-forth straight-line motion, like a piston in a cylinder

. Consider a reciprocating compressor running at 110 rpm . During a compression stroke, 1.70 mol of air is compressed. The initial temperature of the air is 390 K, the engine of the compressor is supplying 7.5 kW of power to compress the air, and heat is being removed at the rate of 1.3 kW .

Answer:

\Delta \theta = 47.57^{\circ} C

Explanation:

given,

moles of air compressed, n = 1.70 mol

initial temperature, T₁ = 390 K

Power supply by the compressor, P = 7.5 kW

Heat removed = 1.3 kW

Angular frequency of the compressor, f = 110 rpm = 110/60 = 1.833 rps.

Time of compression = time of the hay revolution

             =\dfrac{1}{2}\ T

             =\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{f}

             =\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{1.833}

             =0.273 s

Using first law of thermodynamics

U = Q - W

now,

\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}- \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}

Power supplied \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t} = 7.5 kW

heat removed \dfrac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} = 1.3 kW

now,

\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t} = 7.5 -1.3

\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t} = 6.2 kW

we know,

\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{nC_v\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}

 C_v for air = 5 cal/° mol

                   = 5 x 4.186 J/mol°C  = 20.93 J/mol°C

now,

\Delta \theta = \dfrac{\Delta U}{\Deta t}\times \dfrac{\Delta t}{n C_v}

\Delta \theta = 6.2\times 10^3 \times \dfrac{0.273}{1.7\times 20.93}

\Delta \theta = 47.57^{\circ} C

the temperature change per compression stroke is equal to 47.57°C.

An automobile traveling along a straight road increases its speed from 72 ft/s to 84 ft/s in 180 ft. if the acceleration is cons
Nikolay [14]
The equation that would allow us to calculate for the acceleration given the distance is written below,

      a = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2d

where a is the acceleration, Vf is the final velocity, Vo is the initial velocity, and d is distance. 

Substituting the known values,
    a = ((84 ft/s)² - (72 ft/s)²) / 2(180 ft) = 5.2 ft/s²

Then, the equation that would relate the initial velocity, distance, acceleration and time is calculated through the equation,
      
     d = Vot + 0.5at²

Substituting the known values,
    180 = 72(t) + 0.5(5.2)(t²)

The value of t from the equation is 2.3 s

A tennis player swings her 1000 g racket with a speed of 10 m/s. She hits a 60 g tennis ball that was approaching her at a speed
Mashutka [201]

(a)

consider the motion of the tennis ball. lets assume the velocity of the tennis ball going towards the racket as positive and velocity of tennis ball going away from the racket as negative.

m = mass of the tennis ball = 60 g = 0.060 kg

v₀ = initial velocity of the tennis ball before being hit by racket = 20 m/s

v = final velocity of the tennis ball after being hit by racket = - 39 m/s

ΔP = change in momentum of the ball

change in momentum of the ball is given as

ΔP = m (v - v₀)

inserting the above values

ΔP = (0.060) (- 39 - 20)

ΔP = - 3.54 kgm/s

hence , magnitude of change in momentum : 3.54 kgm/s
