An ideal gas Carnot cycle with air in a piston cylinder has a high temperature of 1200 K and a heat rejection at 400 K. During t
he heat addition the volume triples. Find the two specific heat transfers (q) in the cycle and the overall cycle efficiency. Solution:
1 answer:
Answer:
The specific heat capacity is q_{L}=126.12kJ/kg
The efficiency of the temperature is n_{TH}=0.67
Explanation:
The p-v diagram illustration is in the attachment
T_{H} means high temperature
T_{L} means low temperature
The energy equation :
= R*
in(
/
)
The specific heat capacity:
=q_{h}*(T_{L}/T_{H})
q_{L}=378.36 * (400/1200)
q_{L}=378.36 * 0.333
q_{L}=126.12kJ/kg
The efficiency of the temperature will be:
=1 - (
/
)
n_{TH}=1-(400/1200)
n_{TH}=1-0.333
n_{TH}=0.67

Answer: -3.49 m/s (to the south)
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle which establishes the initial momentum must be equal to the final momentum
, and taking into account this is aninelastic collision:
Before the collision:
(1)
After the collision:
(2)
Where:
is the mass of the car
is the velocity of the car, directed to the north
is the mass of the truck
is the velocity of the truck, directed to the south
is the final velocity of both the car and the truck

(6)
Finally:
The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is to the south
