It's known as Absolute Zero. On the Kelvin scale, 0 is the lowest that anything can reach in temperature. It's supposedly impossible to reach, but it's the known limit.

For a given Prandtl-Meyer expansion, the upstream Mach number is 3 and the pressure ratio across the wave is P2/P1 = 0.4. Calcul

loris [4]

Answer:

The angle for the forward Mach line is 19.47°

The angle for the rearward Mach line is 5.21°

Explanation:

From table A-1 (Modern Compressible Flow: with historical perspective):

$\frac{P_{o} }{P_{1} } =36.73$ (M₁ = 3)

If Po₁ = Po₂

$\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =\frac{P_{o1} }{P_{1} } *\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } =36.73*\frac{1}{4} =91.825$

Table A-1:

$\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =91.825,M_{2} =3.63$

Table A-5:

v₁ = 49.76°

μ₁ = 19.47°

v₂ = 60.55°

μ₂ = 16°

θ = 60.55 - 49.76 = 10.79°

The angle for the forward Mach line is:

μ₁ = 19.47°

The angle for the rearward Mach line is:

θr = μ₂ - θ = 16 - 10.79 = 5.21°

A parallel beam of light in air makes an angle of 43.5 ∘ with the surface of a glass plate having a refractive index of 1.68. Yo

aniked [119]

Answer:

a) 46.5º b) 64.4º

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use the laws of geometric optics

a) For this part we will use the law of reflection that states that the reflected and incident angle are equal

θ = 43.5º

This angle measured from the surface is

θ_r = 90 -43.5

θ_s = 46.5º

b) In this part the law of refraction must be used

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂. Sin θ₂

sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁

The index of air refraction is n₁ = 1

The angle is this equation is measured between the vertical line called normal, if the angles are measured with respect to the surface

θ_s = 90 - θ

θ_s = 90- 43.5

θ_s = 46.5º

sin θ₂ = 1 / 1.68 sin 46.5

sin θ₂ = 0.4318

θ₂ = 25.6º

The angle with respect to the surface is

θ₂_s = 90 - 25.6

θ₂_s = 64.4º

A gas is placed in a storage tank at a pressure of 49.2 atm at 39.0C . As a safety device, a small metal plug in the tank is mad

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The maximum pressure that will be attained in the tank before the plug melts and releases gas should be less than 74.26 atm.

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$
