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!!!

Air at 400kPa, 970 K enters a turbine operating at steady state and exits at 100 kPa, 670 K. Heat transfer from the turbine occu
Sonja [21]

Answer:

a

The rate of work developed is \frac{\r W}{\r m}= 300kJ/kg

b

The rate of entropy produced within the turbine is   \frac{\sigma}{\r m}=  0.0861kJ/kg \cdot K

Explanation:

     From  the question we are told

          The rate at which heat is transferred is \frac{\r Q}{\r m } = -  30KJ/kg

the negative sign because the heat is transferred from the turbine

          The specific heat capacity of air is c_p = 1.1KJ/kg \cdot K

          The inlet temperature is  T_1 = 970K

          The outlet temperature is T_2 = 670K

           The pressure at the inlet of the turbine is p_1 = 400 kPa

          The pressure at the exist of the turbine is p_2 = 100kPa

           The temperature at outer surface is T_s = 315K

         The individual gas constant of air  R with a constant value R = 0.287kJ/kg \cdot K

The general equation for the turbine operating at steady state is \

               \r Q - \r W + \r m (h_1 - h_2) = 0

h is the enthalpy of the turbine and it is mathematically represented as          

        h = c_p T

The above equation becomes

             \r Q - \r W + \r m c_p(T_1 - T_2) = 0

              \frac{\r W}{\r m}  = \frac{\r Q}{\r m} + c_p (T_1 -T_2)

Where \r Q is the heat transfer from the turbine

           \r W is the work output from the turbine

            \r m is the mass flow rate of air

             \frac{\r W}{\r m} is the rate of work developed

Substituting values

              \frac{\r W}{\r m} =  (-30)+1.1(970-670)

                   \frac{\r W}{\r m}= 300kJ/kg

The general balance  equation for an entropy rate is represented mathematically as

                       \frac{\r Q}{T_s} + \r m (s_1 -s_2) + \sigma  = 0

          =>          \frac{\sigma}{\r m} = - \frac{\r Q}{\r m T_s} + (s_1 -s_2)

    generally (s_1 -s_2) = \Delta s = c_p\ ln[\frac{T_2}{T_1} ] + R \ ln[\frac{v_2}{v_1} ]

substituting for (s_1 -s_2)

                      \frac{\sigma}{\r m} = \frac{-\r Q}{\r m} * \frac{1}{T_s} +  c_p\ ln[\frac{T_2}{T_1} ] - R \ ln[\frac{p_2}{p_1} ]

                      Where \frac{\sigma}{\r m} is the rate of entropy produced within the turbine

 substituting values

                \frac{\sigma}{\r m} = - (-30) * \frac{1}{315} + 1.1 * ln\frac{670}{970} - 0.287 * ln [\frac{100kPa}{400kPa} ]

                    \frac{\sigma}{\r m}=  0.0861kJ/kg \cdot K

Block A hangs by a cord from spring balance D and is submerged in a liquid C contained in beaker B. The mass of the beaker is 1.
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a)  m_e= 3.05 Kg

b)  \rho=1072.3kg/m^3

c)  m_e= 3.05 Kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Beaker Mass m_b=1.20

Liquid Mass m_l=1.85

Balance D:

Mass m_d=3.10

Balance E:

Mass m_e=7.50

Volume v=4.15*10^{-3}m^3

a)

Generally the equation for Liquid's density is mathematically given by

m_e=m_b+m_l+(\rho*v)

\rho=\frac{7.50-(1.2+1.85)}{4.15*10^{-3}}

\rho=1072.3kg/m^3

b)

Generally the equation for D's Reading at A pulled is mathematically given by

m_d = mass of block - mass of liquid displaced

m_d=m- (\rho *v )

m=3.10+ (1072.30 *4.15*10^{-3}m^3 )

m=18.10kg

c)

Generally the equation for E's Reading at A pulled is mathematically given by

m_e=m_b+m_l

m_e = 1.20 + 1.85

m_e= 3.05 Kg
