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.

A light aircraft with a wing area of 200 ft^2 and a weight of 2000 lb has a lift coefficient of 0.39 and a drag coefficient of 0
Gnoma [55]

Answer: power required to maintain level flight=82.20hp

Explanation:

Given

Area = 200 ft^2

Weight = 2000 lb

Cl( Lift coefficient)= 0.39

Cd( Drag coefficient) = 0.06  

The density ρ of air at standard atmospheric  pressure = 2.38 X 10^-3 slugs/ft^3

For Equilibrium to be maintained during flight conditions, the lift force must be balanced by the weight of the aircraft such that

Lift force  = Weight of aircraft

(1/2)ρAU²Cl= W

1/2X 2.38 X 10^-3 X 200 X U² X 0.39 = 2000

U²= 2000 X 2 / 2.38 X 10^-3 X 200 X 0.39

U=\sqrt{21,547.08}

Velocity, U= 146.7892ft/s

Drag force of the velocity can be deduced from the formulae

Cd= Drag force(D) /1/2 ρU²A

Drag force=1/2 ρU²ACd

D=1/2 x (2.38 X 10^-3 slugs/ft^3) x (146.7892ft/s)² x 200 ft^2 x 0.06

D=307.69

Drag force= 308lb

power required to maintain level flight is given as

P = Drag force x Velocity = D x U

=308lb X  146.7892ft/s

=45,211.0736lb.ft/s

Changing to hp we have that

1 Horsepower, hp = 550 ft lbf/s

??=45,211.0736lb.ft/s

45,211.0736lb.ft/s/ 550 ft lbf/s= 82.20hp

Volume of sale (i.e., the number of parts sold) is a factorwhen determining which
nadya68 [22]

Answer: N has to be lesser than or equal to 1666.

Explanation:

Cost of parts N in FPGA = $15N

Cost of parts N in gate array = $3N + $20000

Cost of parts N in standard cell = $1N + $100000

So,

15N < 3N + 20000 lets say this is equation 1

(cost of FPGA lesser than that of gate array)

 Also. 15N < 1N + 100000  lets say this is equation 2  

(cost of FPGA lesser than that of standardcell)

Now

From equation 1

12N < 20000

N < 1666.67

From equation 2

14N < 100000

N < 7142.85

AT the same time, Both conditions must hold true

So N <= 1666 (Since N has to be an integer)

N has to be lesser than or equal to 1666.
