A gas undergoes a process in a piston–cylinder assembly during which the pressure-specific volume relation is pv1.3 = constant.

The mass of the gas is 0.4 lb and the following data are known: p1 = 160 lbf/in.2, V1 = 1 ft3, and p2 = 480 lbf/in.2 During the process, heat transfer from the gas is 2.1 Btu. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the change in specific internal energy of the gas, in Btu/lb.

Answer:

Change in specific internal Energy=250\ \rm Btu/lb

Explanation:

Given:

  • Mass of the gas, m=0.4 lb
  • Initial pressure and volume are p_1=160\ \rm lbf/in^2\ and\ v_1=1\ \rm ft^3\\
  • Final pressure and temperature are p_1=480\ \rm lbf/in^2
  • Heat transfer from the gas is 2.1 Btu

Since the process is isotropic we have

p_1v_1^{1.3}=p_2v_2^{1.3}\\160\times 1^{1.3}=480\times v_2^{1.3}\\v_2=0.43\ \rm ft^3\\

So the final volume of the gas is calculated.

Work in any isotropic is given by w

w=\dfrac{p_1v_1-P_2v_2}{n-1}\\\\w=\dfrac{160\times1-480\times0.43}{1.3-1}\\w=-154.67\ \rm Btu\\

According to the first law of thermodynamics we have

Q=\Delta U+w\\-2.1=\Delta U-154.67\\\Delta U=152.56\ \rm Btu\\

So the Specific Internal Change is given by

\Delta u=\dfrac{\Delta U}{m}\\\Delta u=\dfrac{152.56}{0.4}\\\Delta u=250\ \rm Btu/lb

So the specific Change in Internal energy is calculated.

How does the thickness of the lens affects its focal length plz ans this i will mark as brainliest
Oksanka [162]

Hello! :)

The focal length of the lens tells you how far away from the lens a focused image is created, if light rays approaching the lens are parallel. A lens with more “bending power” has a shorter focal length, because it alters the path of the light rays more effectively than a weaker lens. Most of the time, you can treat a lens as being thin and ignore any effects from the thickness, because the thickness of the lens is much less than the focal length. But for thicker lenses, how thick they are does make a difference, and in general, results in a shorter focal length.

Hope I helped and didn’t answer too late!

Good luck and stay COOL!

What is a magnetic field’s shape?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Magnets come in a variety of shapes and one of the more common is the horseshoe (U) magnet. The horseshoe magnet has north and south poles just like a bar magnet but the magnet is curved so the poles lie in the same plane. The magnetic lines of force flow from pole to pole just like in the bar magnet.

An object is dropped from a height of 25 meters. At what velocity will it hit the ground?
Goryan [66]
You can use Vf^2-Vi^2 = 2ax

Vf^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(25)

Or you can use energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2

2gh =v^2
