During an expansion process, the pressure of a gas changes from 15 to 140 psia according to the relation P = aV + b, where a = 5

psia/ft3 and b is a constant. If the initial volume of the gas is 7 ft3, calculate the work done during the process.

The work done during the process is 359 btu

<u></u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

P1 = 15psia

P2 = 140 psia

V1 = 7ft³

a = 5 psia/ft³

b = C

P = aV +b

Work done, W = ?

P1 = aV1 + b

15 = 5 (7) + b

b = -20 psia

P2 = aV2 + b

140 = 5 ( V2) - 20

V2 = 32 ft³

The work done by the process is the area under the curve which is trapezoidal.

Therefore,

Work done, W = area of trapezoid

= (P2 + P1 / 2) (V2 - V1)

= ( 140 + 15 / 2 ) ( 32 - 7)

= 1937.5 psia ft³

= 1937.5/ 5.4039 = 359 btu

Therefore, the work done during the process is 359 btu

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

a)supplying the  intake of an engine  with air at a  density greater  than the density  of the surrounding  atmosphere

Explanation:

Supercharging  is the process of  supplying the  intake of an engine  with air at a  density greater  than the density  of the surrounding  atmosphere.

By doing this , it increases  the power out put  and increases the  brake thermal  efficiency of the  engine.It also  increases the  volumetric efficiency of the  engine.

So the our  option a is  right.

Two dogbone specimens of identical geometry but made of two different materials: steel and aluminum are tested under tension at
makkiz [27]

Answer:

\dot L_{steel} = 3.448\times 10^{-4}\,\frac{in}{min}

Explanation:

The Young's module is:

E = \frac{\sigma}{\frac{\Delta L}{L_{o}} }

E = \frac{\sigma\cdot L_{o}}{\dot L \cdot \Delta t}

Let assume that both specimens have the same geometry and load rate. Then:

E_{aluminium} \cdot \dot L_{aluminium} = E_{steel} \cdot \dot L_{steel}

The displacement rate for steel is:

\dot L_{steel} = \frac{E_{aluminium}}{E_{steel}}\cdot \dot L_{aluminium}

\dot L_{steel} = \left(\frac{10000\,ksi}{29000\,ksi}\right)\cdot (0.001\,\frac{in}{min} )

\dot L_{steel} = 3.448\times 10^{-4}\,\frac{in}{min}
