A vertical piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.2 m3 of air at 20°C. The mass of the piston is such that it maintains a c

onstant pressure of 300 kPa inside. Now a valve connected to the cylinder device is opened, and air is allowed to escape until the volume inside the cylinder is decreased by one-half. Heat transfer is allowed during the process so that the temperature of the air in the cylinder remains constant. Determine (a) the amount of air that has left the cylinder and (b) the amount of heat transfer.

Answer:

Amount of air left in the cylinder=m_{2}=0.357 Kg

The amount of heat transfer=Q=0

Explanation:

Given

Initial pressure=P1=300 KPa

Initial volume=V1=0.2m^{3}

Initial temperature=T_{1}=20 C

Final Volume=V_{2}=0.1 m^{3}

Using gas equation

m_{1}=((P_{1}*V_{1})/(R*T_{1}))

m1==(300*0.2)/(.287*293)

m1=0.714 Kg

Similarly

m2=(P2*V2)/R*T2

m2=(300*0.1)/(0.287*293)

m2=0.357 Kg

Now calculate mass of air left,where me is the mass of air left.

me=m2-m1

me=0.715-0.357

mass of air left=me=0.357 Kg

To find heat transfer we need to apply energy balance equation.

Q=(m_{e}*h_{e})+(m_{2}*h_{2})-(m_{1}*h_{1})

Where me=m1-m2

And as the temperature remains constant,hence the enthalpy also remains constant.

h1=h2=he=h

Q=(me-(m1-m2))*h

me=m1-me

Thus heat transfer=Q=0

Answer:

X_B = 1.8 \times 10^{-3} m = 1.8 mm

Explanation:

Given data:

Diffusion constant for nitrogen is = 1.85\times 10^{-10} m^2/s

Diffusion flux = 1.0\times 10^{-7} kg/m^2-s

concentration of nitrogen at high presuure = 2 kg/m^3

location on which nitrogen  concentration is 0.5 kg/m^3   ......?

from fick's first law

J = D \frac{C_A C_B}{X_A X_B}

Take C_A as point  on which nitrogen concentration is 2 kg/m^3

x_B = X_A + D\frac{C_A -C_B}{J}

Assume X_A is zero at the surface

X_B = 0 + ( 12\times 10^{-11} ) \frac{2-0.5}{1\times 10^{-7}}

X_B = 1.8 \times 10^{-3} m = 1.8 mm

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Yes, fracture will occur

Explanation:

Half length of internal crack will be 4mm/2=2mm=0.002m

To find the dimensionless parameter, we use critical stress crack propagation equation

\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}} and making Y the subject

Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}

Where Y is the dimensionless parameter, a is half length of crack, K is plane strain fracture toughness, \sigma_c  is critical stress required for initiating crack propagation. Substituting the figures given in question we obtain

Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}= \frac {40}{300\sqrt {(0.002*\pi)}}=1.682

When the maximum internal crack length is 6mm, half the length of internal crack is 6mm/2=3mm=0.003m

\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}}  and making K the subject

K=\sigma_c Y \sqrt {a\pi}  and substituting 260 MPa for \sigma_c  while a is taken as 0.003m and Y is already known

K=260*1.682*\sqrt {0.003*\pi}=42.455 Mpa

Therefore, fracture toughness at critical stress when maximum internal crack is 6mm is 42.455 Mpa and since it’s greater than 40 Mpa, fracture occurs to the material
