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.

You want to plate a steel part having a surface area of 160 with a 0.002--thick layer of lead. The atomic mass of lead is 207.19
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

<u><em>To answer this question we assumed that the area units and the thickness units are given in inches.</em></u>

The number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.    

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms of lead we need to find first the volume of the plate:

V = A*t

<u>Where</u>:

A: is the surface area = 160

t: is the thickness = 0.002

<u><em>Assuming that the units given above are in inches we proceed to calculate the volume: </em></u>

V = A*t = 160 in^{2}*0.002 in = 0.32 in^{3}*(\frac{2.54 cm}{1 in})^{3} = 5.24 cm^{3}    

Now, using the density we can find the mass:

m = d*V = 11.36 g/cm^{3}*5.24 cm^{3} = 59.5 g

Finally, with the Avogadros number (N_{A}) and with the atomic mass (A) we can find the number of atoms (N):

N = \frac{m*N_{A}}{A} = \frac{59.5 g*6.022 \cdot 10^{23} atoms/mol}{207.19 g/mol} = 1.73 \cdot 10^{23} atoms    

Hence, the number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.

I hope it helps you!

For some metal alloy, a true stress of 345 MPa (50040 psi) produces a plastic true strain of 0.02. How much will a specimen of t
saveliy_v [14]

Complete Question

For some metal alloy, a true stress of 345 MPa (50040 psi) produces a plastic true strain of 0.02. How much will a specimen of this material elongate when a true stress of 411 MPa (59610 psi) is applied if the original length is 470 mm (18.50 in.)?Assume a value of 0.22 for the strain-hardening exponent, n.

Answer:

The elongation is =21.29mm

Explanation:

In order to gain a good understanding of this solution let define some terms

True Stress

       A true stress can be defined as the quotient obtained when instantaneous applied load is divided by instantaneous cross-sectional area of a material it can be denoted as \sigma_T.

True Strain

     A true strain can be defined as the value obtained when the natural logarithm quotient of instantaneous gauge length divided by original gauge length of a material is being bend out of shape by a uni-axial force. it can be denoted as \epsilon_T.

The mathematical relation between stress to strain on the plastic region of deformation is

              \sigma _T =K\epsilon^n_T

Where K is a constant

          n is known as the strain hardening exponent

           This constant K can be obtained as follows

                        K = \frac{\sigma_T}{(\epsilon_T)^n}

No substituting  345MPa \ for  \ \sigma_T, \ 0.02 \ for \ \epsilon_T , \ and  \ 0.22 \ for  \ n from the question we have

                     K = \frac{345}{(0.02)^{0.22}}

                          = 815.82MPa

Making \epsilon_T the subject from the equation above

              \epsilon_T = (\frac{\sigma_T}{K} )^{\frac{1}{n} }

Substituting \ 411MPa \ for \ \sigma_T \ 815.82MPa \ for \ K  \ and  \  0.22 \ for \ n

       \epsilon_T = (\frac{411MPa}{815.82MPa} )^{\frac{1}{0.22} }

            =0.0443

       

From the definition we mentioned instantaneous length and this can be  obtained mathematically as follows

           l_i = l_o e^{\epsilon_T}

Where

       l_i is the instantaneous length

      l_o is the original length

Substituting  \ 470mm \ for \ l_o \ and \ 0.0443 \ for  \ \epsilon_T

             l_i = 470 * e^{0.0443}

                =491.28mm

We can also obtain the elongated length mathematically as follows

            Elongated \ Length =l_i - l_o

Substituting \ 470mm \ for l_o and \ 491.28 \ for \ l_i

          Elongated \ Length = 491.28 - 470

                                       =21.29mm
