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.

Describe the algorithm you use for looking up a person’s telephone number in the phone book. The input is person’s name; the out

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The Algorithm for finding a number from a phone book with the person's name as the input and the phone number as output is as follows:

1. Try to remember the name, i.e last name first and first name last, Also make sure you get the spelling right.

2. Using the first letter of the last name, locate the appropriate alphabetical section in which the name should appear.

3. Using the second letter of the last name, find the subsection of first and second letters combined, in the appropriate order, in which the name should appear. (If the last name consists of only two letters, find the appropriate first name.)

4. Using the third letter, find the possible names in a subsection of the first three letters in the correct order. Continue this step with x+1 letters of the name until you have a subsection of names exactly matching the last name of the person whose number you are trying to locate. (x is the number of letters used in the previous step, consistently.) If there is only one of the last name, (check for duplicates) identify the number, and return phone number information.

5. Begin the second step using the first letter of the first name, but limit the section to only those exactly matching the last name. Continue to step 4, again focusing on the first name only within the set of exactly matching last names.

6. When both first and last name match the name you are locating, check for duplicates. IF there are no duplicates, return phone number information.

Explanation:

People's names are generally arranged in phone books in alphabetical order by the last name of the person. The first name of the person is listed after the last name so that people of the same last name can be differentiated.

A carbon resistor has a resistance of 976 ohms at 0 degrees C. Determine its resistance at 89 degrees C

nignag [31]

Answer:

1028.1184 Ohms

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Initial resistance, Ro = 976 Ohms
Initial temperature, T1 = 0°C
Final temperature, T2 = 89°C

Assuming the temperature coefficient of resistance for carbon at 0°C is equal to 0.0006 per degree Celsius.

To find determine its new resistance, we would use the mathematical expression for linear resistivity;

$R_{89} = R_{0} + R_{0}(\alpha T)$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$R_{89} = 976 + 976*(0.0006*89)$

$R_{89} = 976 + 976*(0.0534)$

$R_{89} = 976 + 52.1184$

$R_{89} = 1028.1184 \ Ohms$

A sample of sand weighs 490 g in stock and 475 in Oven Dry (OD) condition, respectively. If absorption capability of the sand is

Ivahew [28]

The weight of the specimen in SSD condition is 373.3 cc

<u>Explanation</u>:

a) Apparent specific gravity = $\frac{A}{A-C}$

Where,

A = mass of oven dried test sample in air = 1034 g

B = saturated surface test sample in air = 1048.9 g

C = apparent mass of saturated test sample in water = 975.6 g

apparent specific gravity = $\frac{A}{A-C}$

= $\frac{1034}{1034-675 \cdot 6}$

Apparent specific gravity = 2.88

b) Bulk specific gravity $G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{A}{B-C}$

$G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{1034}{1048.9-675 \cdot 6}$

= 2.76

c) Bulk specific gravity (SSD):

$G_{B}^{S S D}=\frac{B}{B-C}$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9}{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}$

$G_{B}^{S S D}$ = 2.80

d) Absorption% :

$=\frac{B-A}{A} \times 100 \%$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-1034}{1034} \times 100$

Absorption = 1.44 %

e) Bulk Volume :

$v_{b}=\frac{\text { weight of dispaced water }}{P \omega t}$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}{1}$

= $373.3 cc$
