Answer:

a) Using Ideal gas Equation, T = 434.98°R = 435°R

b) Using Van Der Waal's Equation, T = 637.32°R = 637°R

c) T obtained from the refrigerant tables at P = 400 psia and v = 0.1144 ft³/lbm is T = 559.67°R = 560°R

Explanation:

a) Ideal gas Equation

PV = mRT

T = PV/mR

P = pressure = 400 psia

V/m = specific volume = 0.1144 ft³/lbm

R = gas constant = 0.1052 psia.ft³/lbm.°R

T = 400 × 0.1144/0.1052 = 434.98 °R

b) Van Der Waal's Equation

T = (1/R) (P + (a/v²)) (v - b)

a = Van Der Waal's constant = (27R²(T꜀ᵣ)²)/(64P꜀ᵣ)

R = 0.1052 psia.ft³/lbm.°R

T꜀ᵣ = critical temperature for refrigerant-134a (from the refrigerant tables) = 673.6°R

P꜀ᵣ = critical pressure for refrigerant-134a (from the refrigerant tables) = 588.7 psia

a = (27 × 0.1052² × 673.6²)/(64 × 588.7)

a = 3.596 ft⁶.psia/lbm²

b = (RT꜀ᵣ)/8P꜀ᵣ

b = (0.1052 × 673.6)/(8 × 588.7) = 0.01504 ft³/lbm

T = (1/0.1052) (400 + (3.596/0.1144²) (0.1144 - 0.01504) = 637.32°R

c) The temperature for the refrigerant-134a as obtained from the refrigerant tables at P = 400 psia and v = 0.1144 ft³/lbm is

T = 100°F = 559.67°R

It is possible to maintain a pressure of 10 kPa in a condenser that is being cooled by river water entering at 20 °C?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Yes, it is possible to maintain a pressure of 10 kPa in a condenser that is being cooled by river water that is entering at 20 °C because this temperature (20 °C) of the external cooling water is less than the saturation temperature of steam which is which is 45.81 °C, and heated by a boiler; as a result of this condition, coupled with the assumption that the turbine, pump, and interconnecting tube are adiabatic, and the condenser exchanges its heat with the external cooling river water, it possible to maintain a pressure of 10 kPa.

Without motorcycle riders are at risk of severe injury in a crash ?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. proper protection

Explanation:

Motorcycle riders ride the motorcycle while at some level of speed while  having the entire body exposed to be a major part of any collision.

Injuries sustained from motorcycle accidents are several times more severe than injuries sustained by occupants of a car that is fully protected by the metallic panel in the same and even more serious accident scenarios

Hence, motorcycle riders require adequate protection by putting on available motorcyclist safety gear

Therefore, to reduce the risk of severe injury n a crash, motorcycle riders require proper protection.
