Answer:
The spring is compressed by 0.275 meters.
Explanation:
For equilibrium of the gas and the piston the pressure exerted by the gas on the piston should be equal to the sum of weight of the piston and the force the spring exerts on the piston
Mathematically we can write

we know that


Now the force exerted by an spring compressed by a distance 'x' is given by 
Using the above quatities in the above relation we get

Answer:
Explanation:
Diffusion flux of a gas, J is given by
where
is permeability coefficient,
P is pressure difference and x is thickness of membrane.
The pressure difference will be 10,000 Pa- 3000 Pa= 7000 Pa
At 298 K, the permeability coefficient of water vapour through polypropylene sheet is
Since the thickness of sheet is given as 1mm= 0.1 cm then
Therefore, the diffusion flux is
Answer:
5.328Ibm/hr
Explanation:
Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)
through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature.
for this case we can define the following equation for mass flow using the first law of thermodynamics

where
Q=capacity of the radiator =5000btu/hr
m = mass flow
then using thermodynamic tables we found entalpy in state 1 and 2
h1(x=0.97, p=16psia)=1123btu/lbm
h2(x=0, p=16psia)=184.5btu/lbm
solving
