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.

An AC generator supplies an rms voltage of 120 V at 50.0 Hz. It is connected in series with a 0.650 H inductor, a 4.80 μF capaci
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

f = 50.0 Hz, L = 0.650 H, π = 3.14

C = 4.80 μF, R = 301 Ω resistor. V = 120volts

XL = wL = 2πfL

= 2×3.14×50* 0.650

= 204.1 Ohm

Xc= 1/wC

Xc = 1/2πfC

Xc = 1/2×3.14×50×4.80μF

= 1/0.0015072

= 663.48Ohms

1. Total impedance, Z = sqrt (R^2 + (Xc-XL)^2)= √ 301^2+ (663.48Ohms - 204.1 Ohm)^2

√ 90601 + (459.38)^2

√ 90601+211029.98

√ 301630.9844

= 549.209

Z = 549.21Ohms

2. I=V/Z = 120/ 549.21Ohms =0.218Ampere

3. P=V×I = 120* 0.218 = 26.16Watt

Note that

I rms = Vrms/Xc

= 120/663.48Ohms

= 0.18086A

4. I(max) = I(rms) × √2

= 0.18086A × 1.4142

= 0.2557

= 0.256A

5. V=I(max) * XL

= 0.256A ×204.1

=52.2496

= 52.250volts

6. V=I(max) × Xc

= 0.256A × 663.48Ohms

= 169.85volts

7. Xc=XL

1/2πfC = 2πfL

1/2πfC = 2πf× 0.650

1/2×3.14×f×4.80μF = 2×3.14×f×0.650

1/6.28×f×4.8×10^-6 = 4.082f

1/0.000030144× f = 4.082×f

1 = 0.000030144×f×4.082×f

1 = 0.000123f^2

f^2 = 1/0.000123048

f^2 = 8126.922

f =√8126.922

f = 90.14 Hz

With 64 KB of memory and 8 bits in each memory location, how wide should the address bus be to access all 64 KB of memory? (k =
marishachu [46]

Answer:

16-bit wide

Explanation:

In order to find the width of the address bus, we need first to know how many memory cells it is needed to address.

If the size memory is 64 KB, this means that the memory size, in bytes, is equal to the following quantity:

64 KB = 2⁶ * 2¹⁰ bytes = 2¹⁶ bytes.

In order to address this quantity of cell positions, the address bus must be able to address 2¹⁶ bytes, so it must have 16-bit wide.
