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 150 rpm . During a compression stroke, 2.00 mol of air is compressed. The initial temperature of the air is 390 K, the engine of the compressor is supplying 7.9 kW of power to compress the air, and heat is being removed at the rate of 1.1 kW.Calculate the temperature change per compression stroke.

Answer:

The temperature change per compression stroke is 32.48°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular frequency = 150 rpm

Stroke = 2.00 mol

Initial temperature = 390 K

Supplied power = -7.9 kW

Rate of heat = -1.1 kW

We need to calculate the time for compressor

Using formula of compression

$\terxt{time for compression}=\text{time for half revolution}$

$\terxt{time for compression}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times T$

$\terxt{time for compression}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{f}$

Put the value into the formula

$\terxt{time for compression}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{150}\times60$

$\terxt{time for compression}=0.2\ sec$

We need to calculate the rate of internal energy

Using first law of thermodynamics

$U=Q-W$

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

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=(-1.1)-(7.9)$

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=6.8\ kW$

We need to calculate the temperature change per compression stroke

Using formula of rate of internal energy

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{nc_{v}\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta\theta=\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}\times\dfrac{\Delta t}{n\times c_{c}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta \theta=6.8\times10^{3}\dfrac{0.2}{2.0\times20.93}$

$\Delta\theta=32.48^{\circ}$

Hence, The temperature change per compression stroke is 32.48°.

An AC source is connected to a series combination of a light bulb and a variable capacitor. If the capacitance is increased, the

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

Since power P=IV

Then it means when current increases, the power increases hence brightness increases. I represent current, P is power and v is voltage.

Current of capacitor when in series connection is given by

$I=2\pi fCV$

where I is current across capacitor, f is frequency, C is capacitance and v is voltage across capacitance. From this second formula, it is evident that an increase in capacitance increases the current across the capacitor. Therefore, if current increases, power also increases leading to an increase in brightness

In a Compton scattering experiment, scattered photon is found to have its wavelength three times of the incident photon for the

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Two of Einstein’s influential ideas introduced in 1905 were the theory of special relativity and the concept of a light quantum, which we now call a photon. Beyond 1905, Einstein went further to suggest that freely propagating electromagnetic waves consisted of photons that are particles of light in the same sense that electrons or other massive particles are particles of matter. A beam of monochromatic light of wavelength \lambda (or equivalently, of frequency f) can be seen either as a classical wave or as a collection of photons that travel in a vacuum with one speed, c (the speed of light), and all carrying the same energy, {E}_{f}=hf. This idea proved useful for explaining the interactions of light with particles of matter.

Assume the Earth is a ball of perimeter 40, 000 kilometers. There is a building 20 meters tall at point a. A robot with a camera

torisob [31]

Answer:

Approximately 21 km.

Explanation:

Refer to the not-to-scale diagram attached. The circle is the cross-section of the sphere that goes through the center C. Draw a line that connects the top of the building (point B) and the camera on the robot (point D.) Consider: at how many points might the line intersects the outer rim of this circle? There are three possible cases:

No intersection: There's nothing that blocks the camera's view of the top of the building.
Two intersections: The planet blocks the camera's view of the top of the building.
One intersection: The point at which the top of the building appears or disappears.

There's only one such line that goes through the top of the building and intersects the outer rim of the circle only once. That line is a tangent to this circle. In other words, it is perpendicular to the radius of the circle at the point A where it touches the circle.

The camera needs to be on this tangent line when the building starts to disappear. To find the length of the arc that the robot has travelled, start by finding the angle $\angle \mathrm{B\hat{C}D}$ which corresponds to this minor arc.

This angle comes can be split into two parts:

$\angle \mathrm{B\hat{C}D} = \angle \mathrm{B\hat{C}A} + \angle \mathrm{A\hat{C}D}$ .

Also,

$\angle \mathrm{B\hat{A}C} = \angle \mathrm{D\hat{A}C} = 90^{\circ}$ .

The radius of this circle is:

$\displaystyle r = \frac{c}{2\pi} = \rm \frac{4\times 10^{7}\; m}{2\pi}$ .

The lengths of segment DC, AC, BC can all be found:

$\rm DC = \rm \left(1.75 \displaystyle + \frac{4\times 10^{7}\; m}{2\pi}\right)\; m$ ;
$\rm AC = \rm \displaystyle \frac{4\times 10^{7}}{2\pi}\; m$ ;
$\rm BC = \rm \left(20\; m\displaystyle +\frac{4\times 10^{7}}{2\pi} \right)\; m$ .

In the two right triangles $\triangle\mathrm{DAC}$ and $\triangle \rm BAC$ , the value of $\angle \mathrm{B\hat{C}A}$ and $\angle \mathrm{A\hat{C}D}$ can be found using the inverse cosine function:

$\displaystyle \angle \mathrm{B\hat{C}A} = \cos^{-1}{\rm \frac{AC}{BC}}$

$\displaystyle \angle \mathrm{D\hat{C}A} = \cos^{-1}{\rm \frac{AC}{DC}}$

$\displaystyle \angle \mathrm{B\hat{C}D} = \cos^{-1}{\rm \frac{AC}{BC}} + \cos^{-1}{\rm \frac{AC}{DC}}$ .

The length of the minor arc will be:

$\displaystyle r \theta = \frac{4\times 10^{7}\; \rm m}{2\pi} \cdot (\cos^{-1}{\rm \frac{AC}{BC}} + \cos^{-1}{\rm \frac{AC}{DC}}) \approx 20667 \; m \approx 21 \; km$ .
