Heat in the amount of 100 kJ is transferred directly from a hot reservoir at 1200 K to a cold reservoir at 600 K. Calculate the

entropy change of the two reservoirs and determine if the increase of entropy principle is satisfied.

Solution:

Given:

$T_{H}$ = 1200 K

$T_{L}$ = 600 K

Q = 100 kJ

The Entropy change of the two reservoirs is given by the sum of entropy change of each reservoir system and is given by the formula:

$\Delta s = \frac{-Q}{T_{H}}+\frac{Q}{T_{L}}$

$\Delta s = \frac{Q(T_{L}-T_{_{H}})}{T_{H}T_{L}}$

$\Delta s = \frac{-100(600-1200)}{1200\times 600}$

[tex]\Delta s = 0.0833kJ/K

Since, the change in entropy is positive and according to the Increase in entropy principle, for any process the total change in entropy of a system is always greater than or equal to zero (with its enclosing adiabatic surrounding).

Therefore, the entropy principle is satisfied.

Two vertical, parallel clean glass plates are spaced a distance of 2mm apart. if the plates are placed in water, how high will t

Ulleksa [173]

Answer with Explanation:

The capillary rise in 2 parallel plates immersed in a liquid is given by the formula

$h=\frac{2\sigma cos(\alpha )}{\rho gd}$

where

$\sigma$ is the surface tension of the liquid

$\alpha$ is the contact angle of the liquid

$\rho$ is density of liquid

'g' is acceleratioj due to gravity

'd' is seperation between thje plates

Part a) When the liquid is water:

For water and glass we have

$\sigma =7.28\times 10^{-2}N/m$

$\alpha =0$

$\rho _{w}=1000kg/m^3$

Applying the values we get

$h=\frac{2\times 7.28\times 10^{-2}cos(0)}{1000\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}}=7.39mm$

Part b) When the liquid is mercury:

For mercury and glass we have

$\sigma =485.5\times 10^{-3}N/m$

$\alpha =138^o$

$\rho _{w}=13.6\times 10^{3}kg/m^3$

Applying the values we get

$h=\frac{2\times 485.5\times 10^{-3}cos(138)}{13.6\times 1000\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}}=-2.704mm$

The negative sign indicates that there is depression in mercury in the tube.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The volume up to cylindrical portion is approx 32355 liters.

Explanation:

The tank is shown in the attached figure below

The volume of the whole tank is is sum of the following volumes

1) Hemisphere top

Volume of hemispherical top of radius 'r' is

$V_{hem}=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$

2) Cylindrical Middle section

Volume of cylindrical middle portion of radius 'r' and height 'h'

$V_{cyl}=\pi r^2\cdot h$

3) Conical bottom

Volume of conical bottom of radius'r' and angle $\theta$ is

$V_{cone}=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^3\times \frac{1}{tan(\frac{\theta }{2})}$

Applying the given values we obtain the volume of the container up to cylinder is

$V=\pi 1.5^2\times 4.0+\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{\pi 1.5^{3}}{tan30}=32.355m^{3}$

Hence the capacity in liters is $V=32.355\times 1000=32355Liters$

Sholpan [36]

Answer: y = x * 1dollars - 30dollars

Explanation:

Giving that the delivery cost in dollar is potent for all x > = 50 pounds of wght

Y = (x - 50)*1 dollar + c ...equ 1

Y = delivery cost equation in dollars

x = weigt of baggage for delivery

c = 20dollars = down payment for the first 50 pound weight of baggage

Equ 1 becomes

Y = (x)dollars - 50 dollars + 20 dollars

Y = (x) dollars -30 dollars
