A 2-m3 rigid tank initially contains air at 100 kPa and 22°C. The tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. Air is flo

wing in the supply line at 600 kPa and 22°C. The valve is opened, and air is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. A thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the air temperature at the final state is 77°C. Determine (a) the mass of air that has entered the tank and (b) the amount of heat transfer

Answer:

9.58 Kg of air has entered the tank.

heat entered=3483.76 Kilo.Joule

Explanation:

(A) R=287 Kilo.J/Kg.K

as per initial conditions P=100 Kilo.Pa ,V=2 cubic meter, T=22 C=295.15 K,

using the relation P*V=m*R*T

m=(100*1000*2)/(287*295.15)=2.36 Kg this is the mass that is already present in tank.

after filling tank at 600 Kilo.Pa.

P=600 Kilo Pa T=77 C=350.15 K

P*V=m*R*T

m=(600*1000*2)/(287*350.15)=11.94 Kg

mass that has entered=11.94-2.36=9.58 Kg

(b) using air psychometric property table

specific heat content initial 100 KILO Pa and 22 C=295.576 Kilo.Joule/Kg

specific heat content final 600 Kilo Pa and 77 C=350.194 Kilo.Joule/Kg

heat at initial stage=295.576*2.36=697.56 Kilo.Joule

heat at final stage=350.194*11.94=4181.32 Kilo.Joule

heat entered=4181.32-697.56=3483.76 Kilo.Joule

Harlin is designing a new car engine that does not create pollution. Which technological design factor is probably the most

kari74 [83]

Answer: environmental impact

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Harlin is designing a new car engine that does not create pollution.

The technological design factor which is probably the most important for the design is the impact on the environment.

Pollution has a negative effect on the environment a d doing this shows that emphasis is placed on how the environmental issue of pollution can be tackled.

There are three options for heating a particular house: a. Gas: $1.33/therm where 1 therm=105,500 kJ b. Electric Resistance: $0.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.

Explanation:

Cheapest method of heating must have least cost per kj of energy. So, convert all the energy in the same unit (say kj) and take select the cheapest method to heat the house.

Given:

Three methods are given to heat a particular house are as follows:

Method (a)

Through Gas, this gives energy of amount $1.33/therm.

Method (b)

Through electric resistance, this gives energy of amount $0.12/KWh.

Method (c)

Through oil, this gives energy of amount $2.30/gallon.

Calculation:

Step1

Change therm to kj in method ‘a’ as follows:

$C_{1}=\frac{\$ 1.33}{therm}\times(\frac{1therm}{105500kj})$

$C_{1}=1.2606\times10^{-5}$ $/kj.

Step2

Change kWh to kj in method ‘b’ as follows:

$C_{2}=\frac{\$ 0.12}{kWh}\times(\frac{1 kWh }{3600kj})$

$C_{2}=3.334\times10^{-5}$ $/kj.

Step3

Change kWh to kj in method ‘c’ as follows:

$C_{3}=\frac{\$ 2.30}{gallon}\times(\frac{1 gallon }{138500kj})$

$C_{3}=1.66\times10^{-5}$ $/kj.

Thus, the method ‘a’ has least cost as compare to method b and c.

So, option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.

State five applications of thermochromic materials

rusak2 [61]

Explanation:

The end-use industries of thermochromic materials include packaging, printing & coating, medical, textile, industrial, and others. Printing & coating is the fastest-growing end-use industry of thermochromic materials owing to a significant increase in the demand for thermal paper for POS systems. The use of thermochromic materials is gaining momentum for interactive packaging that encourages consumers to take a product off the shelf and use it.
