Answer:

S = 172.69 J/K

Explanation:

For a closed system, the entropy is given as the natural logarithm of microstates.

The number of particles (grains of sand); N = 25

The number of boxes (compartments); M = 1000

Entropy is the logarithm of number of microstates; Thus,

S = In ψ

However, the number of microstates is given by the formula;

ψ = Mⁿ

Thus, S = In Mⁿ

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

S = In (1000)^(25)

S = 172.69 J/K

Answer:

The entropy of the closed system is

S = (1.58 × 10⁻²¹) J/K

Explanation:

Entropy of a system is proportional to the number of different microstates. The constant of proportionality is the Boltzmann's constant.

S = K In W

K = Boltzmann's constant = (1.381 × 10⁻²³) J/K.

Number of different microstates possible for distributing 25 distinguishable grains of sand among 1000 distinguishable equal sized compartments with only one grain per compartment = ¹⁰⁰C₂₅ = (4.7642 × 10⁴⁹)

S = (1.381 × 10⁻²³) In (4.7642 × 10⁴⁹)

S = 1.381 × 10⁻²³ × 114.4

S = (1.58 × 10⁻²¹) J/K

Hope this Helps!!!

2. One of the many methods used for drying air is to cool the air below the dew point so that condensation or freezing of the mo
REY [17]

Answer:

0.5°c

Explanation:

Humidity ratio by mass can be expressed as

the ratio between the actual mass of water vapor present in moist air - to the mass of the dry air

Humidity ratio is normally expressed in kilograms (or pounds) of water vapor per kilogram (or pound) of dry air.

Humidity ratio expressed by mass:

x = mw / ma                                  (1)

where

x = humidity ratio (kgwater/kgdry_air, lbwater/lbdry_air)

mw = mass of water vapor (kg, lb)

ma = mass of dry air (kg, lb)

It can be as:

x = 0.005 (100) / [(100 - 100)]

x = 0.005 x 100 / (100 - 100)

x = 0.005 x 100 / 0

x = 0.5°c

So the temperature to which atmospheric air must be cooled in order to have humidity ratio of 0.005 lb/lb is 0.5°c

Answer:

a) the inductance of the coil is 6 mH

b) the emf generated in the coil is 18 mV  

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

N = 570 turns

diameter of tube d = 8.10 cm = 0.081 m

length of the wire-wrapped portion l =  35.0 cm = 0.35 m

a) the inductance of the coil (in mH)

inductance of solenoid

L = N²μA / l

A = πd²/4  

so

L = N²μ(πd²/4) / l

L = N²μ(πd²) / 4l

we know that μ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ TmA⁻¹

we substitute

L = [(570)² × 4π × 10⁻⁷× ( π × (0.081)² )] / 4(0.35)

L =  0.00841549 / 1.4

L = 6 × 10⁻³ H    

L = 6 × 10⁻³ × 1000 mH

L = 6 mH

Therefore, the inductance of the coil is 6 mH

b)

Emf ( ∈ ) = L di/dt

given that; di/dt = 3.00 A/sec

{∴ di = 3 - 0 = 3 and dt = 1 sec}

Emf ( ∈ ) = L di/dt

we substitute

⇒ 6 × 10⁻³ ( 3/1 )

= 18 × 10⁻³ V

= 18 × 10⁻³ × 1000

= 18 mV  

Therefore, the emf generated in the coil is 18 mV

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

b. 10A

Explanation:

Using the formula, E= k × r×I

200= 0.5 ×2000×0.02×I

200=20×I

Dividing with 20

I = 200/20= 10A
