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.

The process _______ boosted the production of fertilizers and strengthened the agriculture industry.
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Process of Green Revolution

Explanation:

Green Revolution is a process which started its initiatives between the 1950s and 1960s, a technological research process, that increase agricultural productions through various systematic approach, which are different from the traditional methods. These technological approach includes:

1.  Utilization of new varieties with a high yield potential, in addition with adequate water  supply, pesticides and fertilizers.

2.  New methods of cultivation and mechanization

Hence, the process of Green Revolution boosted production of fertilizers and strengthen the agriculture industry as a whole.

A 10MHz clock frequency is applied to a cascaded counter consisting of a modulus-5 counter, a modulus-8 counter and two modulus-
rewona [7]

If a clock frequency is applied to a cascaded counter, The lowest output frequency available will be

  • The lowest output frequency will be = 2.5kHz

<h3>Cascade Counter</h3>

For a cascade counter,

Overall frequency = 5*8*10*10

Overall frequency = 4000

<h3>Lowest Frequency</h3>

Therefore,

the lowest frequency

F = \frac{10*10^6}{4*10^3}\\\\F = 2500Hz\\\\F = 2.5kHz
