Answer:

Temperature

Explanation:

In an ideal gas the specific enthalpy is exclusively a function of Temperature only this can be also written as h = h(T)

A gas is said be ideal gas if obeys PV= nRT law

And in a ideal gas both internal energy and specific enthalpy are a function of Temperature only. Therefore the constant volume and constant pressure specific heats Cv and Cp are also function of temperature only.

An Ideal gas is being heated in a circular duct as while flowing over an electric heater of 130 kW. The diameter of duct is 500

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Exit temperature = 32 °C

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial Pressure;P1 = 100 KPa

Cp =1000 J/kg.K = 1 KJ/kg.k

R = 500 J/kg.K = 0.5 Kj/Kg.k

Initial temperature;T1 = 27°C = 273 + 27K = 300 K

volume flow rate;V' = 15 m³/s

W = 130 Kw

Q = 80 Kw

Using ideal gas equation,

PV' = m'RT

Where m' is mass flow rate.

Thus;making m' the subject, we have;

m' = PV'/RT

So at inlet,

m' = P1•V1'/(R•T1)

m' = (100 × 15)/(0.5 × 300)

m' = 10 kg/s

From steady flow energy equation, we know that;

m'•h1 + Q = m'h2 + W

Dividing through by m', we have;

h1 + Q/m' = h2 + W/m'

h = Cp•T

Thus,

Cp•T1 + Q/m' = Cp•T2 + W/m'

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(1*300) - (80/10) = (1*T2) - (130/10)

Q and M negative because heat is being lost.

300 - 8 + 13 = T2

T2 = 305 K = 305 - 273 °C = 32 °C

13000 + 300 - 8000 = T2

For methyl chloride at 100°C the second and third virial coefficients are: B = −242.5 cm 3 ·mol −1 C = 25,200 cm 6 ·mol −2 Calcu

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

a)W=12.62 kJ/mol

b)W=12.59 kJ/mol

Explanation:

At T = 100 °C the second and third virial coefficients are

B = -242.5 cm^3 mol^-1

C = 25200 cm^6 mo1^-2

Now according isothermal work of one mole methyl gas is

W=- $\int\limits^a_b {P} \, dV$

a= $v_2\\$

b= $v_1$

from virial equation

$\frac{PV}{RT}=z=1+\frac{B}{V}+\frac{C}{V^2}\\ \\P=RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2})\frac{1}{V}\\$

And

$W=-\int\limits^a_b {RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2}\frac{1}{V} } \, dV$

a= $v_2\\$

b= $v_1$

Now calculate V1 and V2 at given condition

$\frac{P1V1}{RT} = 1+\frac{B}{v_1} +\frac{C}{v_1^2}$

Substitute given values $P_1\\$ = 1 x 10^5 , T = 373.15 and given values of coefficients we get

$10^5(v_1)/8.314*373.15=1-242.5/v_1+25200/v_1^2$

Solve for V1 by iterative or alternative cubic equation solver we get

$v_1=30780 cm^3/mol$

Similarly solve for state 2 at P2 = 50 bar we get

$v_1=241.33 cm^3/mol$

Now

$W=-\int\limits^a_b {RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2}\frac{1}{V} } \, dV$

a=241.33

b=30780

After performing integration we get work done on the system is

W=12.62 kJ/mol

(b) for Z = 1 + B' P +C' P^2 = PV/RT by performing differential we get

dV=RT(-1/p^2+0+C')dP

Hence work done on the system is

$W=-\int\limits^a_b {P(RT(-1/p^2+0+C')} \, dP$

a= $v_2\\$

b= $v_1$

by substituting given limit and P = 1 bar , P2 = 50 bar and T = 373 K we get work

W=12.59 kJ/mol

The work by differ between a and b because the conversion of constant of virial coefficients are valid only for infinite series

Someone has suggested that the air-standard Otto cycle is more accurate if the two polytropic processes are replaced with isentr

omeli [17]

Answer:

q_net,in = 585.8 KJ/kg

q_net,out = 304 KJ/kg

n = 0.481

Explanation:

Given:

- The compression ratio r = 8

- The pressure at state 1, P_1 = 95 KPa

- The minimum temperature at state 1, T_L = 15 C

- The maximum temperature T_H = 900 C

- Poly tropic index n = 1.3

Find:

a) Determine the heat transferred to and rejected from this cycle

b) cycle’s thermal efficiency

Solution:

- For process 1-2, heat is rejected to sink throughout. The Amount of heat rejected q_1,2, can be computed by performing a Energy balance as follows:

W_out - Q_out = Δ u_1,2

- Assuming air to be an ideal gas, and the poly-tropic compression process is isentropic:

c_v*(T_2 - T_L) = R*(T_2 - T_L)/n-1 - q_1,2

- Using polytropic relation we will convert T_2 = T_L*r^(n-1):

c_v*(T_L*r^(n-1) - T_L) = R*(T_1*r^(n-1) - T_L)/n-1 - q_1,2

- Hence, we have:

q_1,2 = T_L *(r^(n-1) - 1)* ( (R/n-1) - c_v)

- Plug in the values:

q_1,2 = 288 *(8^(1.3-1) - 1)* ( (0.287/1.3-1) - 0.718)

q_1,2= 60 KJ/kg

- For process 2-3, heat is transferred into the system. The Amount of heat added q_2,3, can be computed by performing a Energy balance as follows:

Q_in = Δ u_2,3

q_2,3 = u_3 - u_2

q_2,3 = c_v*(T_H - T_2)

- Again, using polytropic relation we will convert T_2 = T_L*r^(n-1):

q_2,3 = c_v*(T_H - T_L*r^(n-1) )

q_2,3 = 0.718*(1173-288*8(1.3-1) )

q_2,3 = 456 KJ/kg

- For process 3-4, heat is transferred into the system. The Amount of heat added q_2,3, can be computed by performing a Energy balance as follows:

q_3,4 - w_in = Δ u_3,4

- Assuming air to be an ideal gas, and the poly-tropic compression process is isentropic:

c_v*(T_4 - T_H) = - R*(T_4 - T_H)/1-n + q_3,4

- Using polytropic relation we will convert T_4 = T_H*r^(1-n):

c_v*(T_H*r^(1-n) - T_H) = -R*(T_H*r^(1-n) - T_H)/n-1 + q_3,4

- Hence, we have:

q_3,4 = T_H *(r^(1-n) - 1)* ( (R/1-n) + c_v)

- Plug in the values:

q_3,4 = 1173 *(8^(1-1.3) - 1)* ( (0.287/1-1.3) - 0.718)

q_3,4= 129.8 KJ/kg

- For process 4-1, heat is lost from the system. The Amount of heat rejected q_4,1, can be computed by performing a Energy balance as follows:

Q_out = Δ u_4,1

q_4,1 = u_4 - u_1

q_4,1 = c_v*(T_4 - T_L)

- Again, using polytropic relation we will convert T_4 = T_H*r^(1-n):

q_4,1 = c_v*(T_H*r^(1-n) - T_L )

q_4,1 = 0.718*(1173*8^(1-1.3) - 288 )

q_4,1 = 244 KJ/kg

- The net gain in heat can be determined from process q_3,4 & q_2,3:

q_net,in = q_3,4+q_2,3

q_net,in = 129.8+456

q_net,in = 585.8 KJ/kg

- The net loss of heat can be determined from process q_1,2 & q_4,1:

q_net,out = q_4,1+q_1,2

q_net,out = 244+60

q_net,out = 304 KJ/kg

- The thermal Efficiency of a Otto Cycle can be calculated:

n = 1 - q_net,out / q_net,in

n = 1 - 304/585.8

n = 0.481

In using the drag coefficient care needs to be taken to use the correct area when determining the drag force. What is a typical

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that Drag force $F_D$

$F_D=\dfrac{1}{2}C_D\rho AV^2$

Where

$C_D$ is the drag force constant.

A is the projected area.

V is the velocity.

ρ is the density of fluid.

Form the above expression of drag force we can say that drag force depends on the area .So We should need to take care of correct are before finding drag force on body.

Example:

When we place our hand out of the window in a moving car ,we feel a force in the opposite direction and feel like some one trying to pull our hand .This pulling force is nothing but it is drag force.
