Air (ideal gas) is contained in a cylinder/piston assembly at a pressure of 150 kPa and a temperature of 127°C. Assume that the

air is compressed adiabatically in a polytropic process with n 1.45 to a pressure of 450 kPa. Is this process possible? Why or why not? Show all work.

Answer:

The process is not possible.

Explanation:

We know for ideal condition, the work done for isothermal process is

W_{ideal} = P_{1}.V_{1} ln\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}

and for ideal gas, we know  PV = mRT

Therefore, W_{ideal} = mRTln\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}

                                                  = mRTln\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}

                                                  =  0.287 x 400ln\frac{150}{450}

                                                  = -126.12 kJ/kg (negative sign indicates that the process is compressive, so work input to the compressor is 126.12 kJ/kg )

Now we know for adiabatic compression process

                    PV^{\gamma } = C

We know \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}=(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{\frac{\gamma -1}{\gamma }}

T_{2} = 556 K

For adiabatic work done, W_{adiabatic} = \frac{P_{1}\times V_{1}-P_{2}\times V_{2}}{\gamma -1}

                                                                       = \frac{mR(T_{1}-T_{2})}{\gamma -1}

                                                                       = \frac{0.287(400-556)}{1.45 -1}

                                                                       = -99.49 kJ/kg (negative sign indicates that the process is compressive, so work input to the compressor is 99.49 kJ/kg )

We know that in isothermal process, work input to the compressor is minimum. But in the above adiabatic polytropic process, work input to the compressor is less than the work done in the isothermal process.

Thus the process is not possible.

If you add 10 J of heat to a system so that the final temperature of the system is 200K, what is the change in entropy of the sy
Elden [556K]

Answer:

0.05 J/K

Explanation:

Given data in question

heat (Q) = 10 J

temperature (T) = 200 K

to find out

the change in entropy of the system

Solution

we will solve this by the entropy change equation

i.e  ΔS = ΔQ/T           ...................1

put the value of heat Q and Temperature T in equation 1

ΔS is the enthalpy change and T is the temperature

so  ΔS = 10/200

ΔS = 0.05 J/K

The ________________ attraction between the Earth and the moon is ______________ on the side of the Earth that happens to be ___
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Gravitational; strongest; facing; closer; near side; toward.

Explanation:

The gravitational attraction between the Earth and the moon is strongest on the side of the Earth that happens to be facing the moon, simply because it is closer. This attraction causes the water on this “near side” of Earth to be pulled toward the moon. These forces of attraction and inertia tends to keep the water in place and consequently, leads to a bulge of water on the near side with respect to the moon.

Also, you should note that what is responsible for the moon being in orbit around the Earth is the gravitational force of attraction between the two planetary bodies (Earth and Moon).

Exceeding critical mach may result in the onset of compressibility effects such as:______.
klio [65]

Answer:

Sound barrier.

Explanation:

Sound barrier is a sudden increase in drag and other effects when an aircraft travels faster than the speed of sound. Other undesirable effects are experienced in the transonic stage, such as relative air movement creating disruptive shock waves and turbulence. One of the adverse effect of this sound barrier in early plane designs was that at this speed, the weight of the engine required to power the aircraft would be too large for the aircraft to carry. Modern planes have designs that now combat most of these undesirable effects of the sound barrier.
