The Assignment: A fixed quantity of an ideal gas (R 0.28 kJ/kgK; Cv-0.71kJ/kgK) is expanded from an initial condition of 35 bar,

500°C, 0.1m, to a final state of1.3mand 20C using a reversible polytropic process. Calculate: (i) the index of expansion; (ii) the change in internal energy; (ii)the amount of heat transferred to or from the gas. Show all your working clearly-and legibly if you're handwriting your submission.

Answer:

Index of expansion: 4.93

Δu = -340.8 kJ/kg

q = 232.2 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The index of expansion is the relationship of pressures:

pi/pf

The ideal gas equation:

p1*v1/T1 = p2*v2/T2

p2 = p1*v1*T2/(T2*v2)

500 C = 773 K

20 C = 293 K

p2 = 35*0.1*773/(293*1.3) = 7.1 bar

The index of expansion then is 35/7.1 = 4.93

The variation of specific internal energy is:

Δu = Cv * Δt

Δu = 0.71 * (20 - 500) = -340.8 kJ/kg

The first law of thermodynamics

q = l + Δu

The work will be the expansion work

l = p2*v2 - p1*v1

35 bar = 3500000 Pa

7.1 bar = 710000 Pa

q = p2*v2 - p1*v1 + Δu

q = 710000*1.3 - 3500000*0.1 - 340800 = 232200 J/kg = 232.2 kJ/kg

<span>Efficiency is the measure of how efficient a process is. It is used to assess the ability of a process in avoiding waste energy, materials, money and time in doing a desirable output. It is calculated as;

Efficiency = useful energy ouput / total energy input</span>

<span>Efficiency = 15(9.81)(20) / 3450 = 0.85</span>

When analyzing inelastic collisions, we need to consider the law of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum, p, of the closed system is a constant. In the case of inelastic collisions, the momentum of the combined mass after the collision is equal to the sum of the momentum of each of the initial masses.

p1+p2+...=pf

In our case we only have two masses, which makes our problem fairly simple. Lets plug in the formula for momentum; p=mv.

m1v1+m2v2=(m1+m2)vf

To find the velocity of the combined mass we simply rearrange the terms.

vf=m1v1+m2v2m1+m2

Plug in the values given in the problem.

vf=(3.0kg)(1.4m/s)+(2.0kg)(0m/s)03.0kg+2.0kg

vf=.84m/s

Explain the formation of color in terms of reflection and absorption of light waves.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Every object has a different density and therefore carries different properties. When rays of white light strike an object, each ray light strikes the object with different frequency and therefore is absorbed and reflected differently from the host object.

In case if all the frequencies are absorbed by the object, it turns out to be black in color. Whereas on the other hand, if it is a mix of absorption and reflection, it makes different colors based on its frequencies and other properties of the object.
