Answer: orbit the earth

Explanation:

In 1962, with three orbits around the Earth, John Glenn is the first American Astronaut to do so.

John Glen was selected in NASA in 1959. He flew Friendship 7 mission on 20th February, 1962. He was the first American to orbit the Earth. He took three rounds about the Earth.

Problem 6.056 Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 15 lbf/in.2, 80°F and exits at 275°F. Stray heat transfer and

To solve this process it is necessary to consider the concepts related to the relations between pressure and temperature in an adiabatic process.

By definition the relationship between pressure and temperature is given by

$(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^{(\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1})}$

Here

P = Pressure

T = Temperature

$\gamma =$ The ratio of specific heats. For air normally is 1.4.

Our values are given as,

$P_1 = 15lb/in^2\\T_1= 80\°F = 299.817K\\T_2 =400\°F = 408.15K$

Therefore replacing we have,

$(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^{(\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1})}$

$(\frac{P_2}{15})=(\frac{408.15}{299.817})^{(\frac{1.4}{1.4-1})}$

Solving for $P_2,$

$P_2 = 15*(\frac{408.15}{299.817})^{(\frac{1.4}{1.4-1})}$

$P_2 = 44.15Lbf/in^2$

Therefore the maximum theoretical pressure at the exit is $44.15Lbf/in^2$

Shalnov [3]

German physicist Albert Betz (in 1919) demonstrated that the highest efficiency you can achieve with a wind turbine is around 59%

We would have to analyze the design of an specific turbine to determine its efficiency, however it is unlikely to achieve 50% , as todays turbines have an average efficiency in the 20-35%

The answer would be around 25%
