Answer:
a) Tբ = 151.8°C
b) ΔV = - 0.194 m³
c) The T-V diagram is sketched in the image attached.
Explanation:
Using steam tables,
At the given pressure of 0.5 MPa, the saturation temperature is the final temperature.
Right from the steam tables (A-5) with a little interpolation, Tբ = 151.793°C
b) The volume change
Using data from A-5 and A-6 of the steam tables,
The volume change will be calculated from the mass (0.58 kg), the initial specific volume (αᵢ) and the final specific volume
(αբ) (which is calculated from the final quality and the consituents of the specific volumes).
ΔV = m(αբ - αᵢ)
αբ = αₗ + q(αₗᵥ) = αₗ + q (αᵥ - αₗ)
q = 0.5, αₗ = 0.00109 m³/kg, αᵥ = 0.3748 m³/kg
αբ = 0.00109 + 0.5(0.3748 - 0.00109)
αբ = 0.187945 m³/kg
αᵢ = 0.5226 m³/kg
ΔV = 0.58 (0.187945 - 0.5226) = - 0.194 m³
c) The T-V diagram is sketched in the image attached
Answer:
I am writing a Python program. Here is the function letterCount. This function takes two string arguments text and letter and return count of all occurrences of a letter in the text.
def letterCount(text, letter):
count = 0 # to count occurrences of letter in the text string
for char in text: # loop moves through each character in the text
if letter == char: # if given letter matches with the value in char
count += 1 # keeps counting occurrence of a letter in text
return count # returns how many times a letter occurred in text
Explanation:
In order to see if this function works you can check by calling this function and passing a text and a letter as following:
print(letterCount('apples are tasty','a'))
Output:
3
Now lets see how this function works using the above text and letter values.
text = apples are tasty
letter = a
So the function has to compute the occurrences of 'a' in the given text 'apples are tasty'.
The loop has a variable char that moves through each character given in the text (from a of apples to y of tasty) so it is used as an index variable.
char checks each character of the text string for the occurrence of letter a.
The if condition checks if the char is positioned at a character which matches the given letter i.e. a. If it is true e.g if char is at character a of apple so the if condition evaluates to true.
When the if condition evaluates to true this means one occurrence is found and this count variable counts this occurrence. So count increments every time the occurrence of letter a is found in apples are tasty text.
The loop breaks when every character in text is traversed and finally the count variable returns all of the occurrences of that letter (a) in the given text (apples are tasty). As a occurs 3 times in text so 3 is returned in output.
The screen shot of program along with output is attached.
