A gas is contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly by a piston with a face area of 40 in2 and weight of 100 lbf. The atmo

sphere exerts a pressure of 14.7 lbf/in2 on top of the piston. A paddle wheel transfers 3 Btu of energy to the gas during a process in which the elevation of the piston increases by 1 ft. The piston and cylinder are poor thermal conductors, and friction between them can be neglected. Determine the change in internal energy of the gas, in Btu.

Answer:

ΔU=0.8834 Btu

Explanation:

Given data

Area of piston A=40 in²

The weight W=100 lbf

Atmospheric Pressure P=14.7 lbf/in²

Work added E=3 Btu

The change in elevation Δh=1 ft =12 inch

To find

Change in internal energy of the gas ΔU

Solution

For Piston

ΔPE=| W+(P×A)×Δh |

ΔPE=| 100+(14.7×40)×12 |

ΔPE=8256 lbf.in

ΔPE=8256×0.000107

ΔPE=0.8834 Btu

From law of conservation of energy then ,the charging in the potential energy of the piston is made by exerting force by gas

Wgas= -ΔPE

Wgas= -0.8834 Btu

For the gas as a system and by applying first law of thermodynamics

Q-W=ΔU

0-(-0.8834 Btu)=ΔU

So

ΔU=0.8834 Btu

Why is there no drag in space?????? Help me please!!! Thanks!!!
astraxan [27]
It is beacuse of fluid If there is no fluid, there is no drag. Drag is generated by the difference in velocity between the solid object and the fluid. If this statement is correct then how can there be drag in space if there is no air?
