22 km it’s not about how far he traveled from his original starting spot just how far he walked so..22km

A single insulated duct flow experiment using air operating at steady-state is performed in a lab. One measurement location (Sta

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a) -0.0934 kJ/kg. K

b) The direction of flow is from right to left.

Explanation:

A free flow diagram of the horizontal insulated duct is as shown below.

NOW,

Let assume that the direction of flow is from left to right and consider the following relation for the entropy rate balance equation for a control volume as:

$\frac{\sigma_{cv}}{m}= (s_2-s_1) \geq 0 \ \ \ -------> \ \ \ 1$

Now; if the value for this relation is greater than zero; then we conclude that our assumption is correct.

If the value is less than zero; then we conclude that the assumption is wrong.

Then, the flow is said to be in the opposite direction

Formula for the change in specific entropy can be calculated as:

$s_2-s_1 = s^0(T_2) - s^0(T_1)-R \ In ( \frac{P_2}{P-1}) \ \ \ -------> \ \ \ 2$

where;

$s_1, s_2 , s^0(T_2), s^0(T1)$ are specific entropies

R = universal gas constant

$P_1$ = pressure at location 1

$P_2$ = pressure at location 2

We obtain the specific properties of air at temperature at $T_1$ = (67°C + 273)K = 340 K from the table A-22 ( Ideal gas properties of air)

$s^0(T1)$ = 1.8279 kJ/kg.K

We also obtain the specific properties of air at temperature $T_2$ = 22°C + 273) K = 295 K

From the table A- 22

$s^0(T_2)$ = 1.68515 kJ/kg . K

R = $\frac{8.314 kJ}{28.97 kg.K}$

$P_1 =$ 0.95 bar

$P_2 =$ 0.8 bar

Now replacing our values into equation (2) from above; we have;

$s_2-s_1 = s^0(T_2) -s^0(T_1)-R \ In (\frac{P_2}{P_1} )$

$s_2-s_1 = 1.68515 -1.8279-\frac{8.314}{28.97} \ In (\frac{0.8}{0.95} )$

$s_2-s_1 = 1.68515 -1.8279+ 0.0493$

$s_2-s_1 =-0.0934 \ kJ/kg.K$

Equating our result to equation (1)

$s_2-s_1 \geq 0\\-0.0934 \leq 0$

Therefore , our assumption is wrong and the direction of flow is said to be from right to left.

We therefore conclude that the direction of flow is from right to left.

Volcanologists and seismologist are specialzed in what

antiseptic1488 [7]

The answer is:

They are specialized in geology and geophysics

1) Volcanologists are scientific researchers who study the properties of volcanoes and develop the science of predicting volcanic eruptions accurately.

- Volcanoes are the results of fissures in the earth's crust, from which magma, gases, rocks, and ashes can erupt.

-Volcanic eruptions and their impact on the atmosphere are investigated by specialist geologists known as volcanologists.

A) Volcanologists are scientists who use a variety of sophisticated equipment to measure and analyze volcanic activity, lava, rock, ashes and gases as well as earthquakes caused by eruptions.

B) Also, they measure the magnitude and intensity of explosions, placing them on a scale from 1 to 8 [volcanic explosivity index].

C)Volcanologists monitor both active and dormant volcanoes to try to predict eruptions and minimize adverse effects on people and their environment.

D)Also, they spend a lot of time collecting and analyzing samples of debris, rocks and other products from extinct volcanoes to gain a better understanding of the processes behind the volcanic activity and the impact former eruptions had in shaping the climate.

2) Seismologists are Earth scientists, specialized in geophysics, who study the genesis and the propagation of seismic waves in geological materials.

-Their research aims at interpreting the geological composition and structures of the Earth. In the case of earthquakes, seismologists evaluate the potential dangers and seek to minimize their impact through the improvement of construction standards.

If you were to travel from the equator to the higher latitudes (near either pole) on Saturn, the differential rotation would cau

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Saturn's differential rotation will cause the length of a day measures to be longer by 0.4 hours

Explanation:

Differential rotation occurs due to the difference in angular velocities of an object as we move along the latitude of the or as we move into different depth of the object, indicating the observed object is in a fluid form

Saturn made almost completely of gas and has differential motion given as follows

Rotation at the equator = 10 hours 14 minutes

Rotation at high altitude = 10 hours 38 minutes

Therefore;

The differential rotation = 10 hours 38 minutes - 10 hours 14 minutes

The differential rotation = 24 minutes = 24 minutes × 1 hour/(60 minutes) = 0.4 hours

The differential rotation = 0.4 hours

Therefore, the measured day at the higher altitude will be 0.4 longer than at the equator.
