Answer:

The performance of the polymer is basically change by the various type of factors like shape, tensile strength and color.

The polymer based products are basically influenced by the environmental factors like light, acids or alkalis chemicals, salts and also heat.

The additives is one of the type of chemical polymer which basically include polymer matrix for improving the ability of processing of the polymer. It also helps to enhance the production and requirement of the polymer products in the environment.

A rigid tank contains an ideal gas at 40°C that is being stirred by a paddle wheel. The paddle wheel does 240 kJ of work on the

Sergeu [11.5K]

To solve the problem it is necessary to consider the concepts and formulas related to the change of ideal gas entropy.

By definition the entropy change would be defined as

$\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})$

Using the Boyle equation we have

$\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{v_1T_2}{v_2T_1})$

Where,

$C_p$ = Specific heat at constant pressure

$T_1$ = Initial temperature of gas

$T_2$ = Final temprature of gas

R = Universal gas constant

$v_1$ = Initial specific Volume of gas

$v_2$ = Final specific volume of gas

According to the statement, it is an isothermal process and the tank is therefore rigid

$T_1 = T_2, v_2=v_1$

The equation would turn out as

$\Delta S = C_p ln1-ln1$

<em>Therefore the entropy change of the ideal gas is 0</em>

Into the surroundings we have that

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}$

Where,

Q = Heat Exchange

T = Temperature in the surrounding

Replacing with our values we have that

$\Delta S = \frac{230kJ}{(30+273)K}$

$\Delta S = 0.76 kJ/K$

<em>Therefore the increase of entropy into the surroundings is 0.76kJ/K</em>

Tech A says that in some cases, the electronic brake control module can be programmed with a new tire size to restore proper ele

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Both Techs A and B

Explanation:

Electronic braking systems are controlled by the electronic brake control module. It is a microprocessor that processes information from wheel-speed sensors and the hydraulic brake system to determine when to release braking pressure at a wheel that's about to lock up and start skidding and activates the anti lock braking system or traction system when it detects it is necessary.

Some electronic brake control modules can be programmed to the size of the vehicle's new tires to restore proper electronic brake control performance. While others may require replacing the module to match the module's programming to the installed tire size. So, both technicians A and B are correct.

A large heat pump should upgrade 5 MW of heat at 85°C to be delivered as heat at 150°C. Suppose the actual heat pump has a COP o

AysviL [449]

Answer:

W=2 MW

Explanation:

Given that

COP= 2.5

Heat extracted from 85°C

Qa= 5 MW

Lets heat supplied at 150°C = Qr

The power input to heat pump = W

From first law of thermodynamics

Qr= Qa+ W

We know that COP of heat pump given as

$COP=\dfrac{Qr}{W}$

$2.5=\dfrac{5}{W}$

W=2 MW

For Carnot heat pump

$COP=\dfrac{T_2}{T_2-T_1}$

$2.5=\dfrac{T_2}{T_2-(273+85)}$

2.5 T₂ - 895= T₂

T₂=596.66 K

T₂=323.6 °C

Consider this example of a recurrence relation. A police officer needs to patrol a gated community. He would like to enter the g

SashulF [63]

Answer:

the police officer cruise each streets precisely once and he enters and exit with the same gate.

Explanation:

NB: kindly check below for the attached picture.

The term ''Euler circuit'' can simply be defined as the graph that shows the edge of K once in a finite way by starting and putting a stop to it at the same vertex.

The term "Hamiltonian Circuit" is also known as the Hamiltonian cycle which is all about a one time visit to the vertex.

Here in this question, the door is the vertex and the road is the edge.

The information needed to detemine a Euler circuit and a Hamilton circuit is;

"the police officer cruise each streets precisely once and he enters and exit with the same gate."

Check attachment for each type of circuit and the differences.
