One cylinder in the diesel engine of a truck has an initial volume of 650 cm3 . Air is admitted to the cylinder at 35 ∘C and a p

kupik [55]

Answer:

1) the final temperature is T2 = 876.76°C

2) the final volume is V2 = 24.14 cm³

Explanation:

We can model the gas behaviour as an ideal gas, then

P*V=n*R*T

since the gas is rapidly compressed and the thermal conductivity of a gas is low a we can assume that there is an insignificant heat transfer in that time, therefore for adiabatic conditions:

P*V^k = constant = C, k= adiabatic coefficient for air = 1.4

then the work will be

W = ∫ P dV = ∫ C*V^(-k) dV = C*[((V2^(-k+1)-V1^(-k+1)]/( -k +1) = (P2*V2 - P1*V1)/(1-k)= nR(T2-T1)/(1-k) = (P1*V1/T1)*(T2-T1)/(1-k)

W = (P1*V1/T1)*(T2-T1)/(1-k)

T2 = (1-k)W* T1/(P1*V1) +T1

replacing values (W=-450 J since it is the work done by the gas to the piston)

T2 = (1-1.4)*(-450J) *308K/(101325 Pa*650*10^-6 m³) + 308 K= 1149.76 K = 876.76°C

the final volume is

TV^(k-1)= constant

therefore

T2/T1= (V2/V1)^(1-k)

V2 = V1* (T2/T1)^(1/(1-k)) = 650 cm³ * (1149.76K/308K)^(1/(1-1.4)) = 24.14 cm³

A heat pump with an ideal compressor operates between 0.2 MPa and 1 MPa. Refrigerant R134a flows through the system at a rate of

solmaris [256]

Answer:

The mass flow rate of refrigerant is 0.352 kg/s

Explanation:

Considering the cycle of an ideal heat pump, provided in the attachment, we first find enthalpy at state B and D. For that purpose, we use property tables of refrigerant R134a:

At State A:

From table, we see the enthalpy and entropy value of saturated vapor at 0.2 MPa. Therefore:

ha = 244.5 KJ/kg

Sa = 0.93788 KJ/kg.k

At State B:

Since, the process from state A to B is isentropic. Therefore,

Sb = Sa = 0.93788 KJ/Kg

From table, we see the enthalpy value of super heated vapor at 1 MPa and Sb. Therefore:

hb = 256.85 KJ/kg (By interpolation)

At State C:

From table, we see the enthalpy and entropy value of saturated liquid at 1 MPa. Therefore:

hc = 107.34 KJ/kg

Now, from the diagram it is very clear that:

Heat Loss = m(hb = hc)

m = (Heat Loss)/(hb - hc)

where,

m = mass flow rate = ?

Heat Loss = (180,000 Btu/hr)(1.05506 KJ/1 Btu)(1 hr/3600 sec)

Heat Loss = 52.753 KW

Therefore,

m = (52.753 KJ/s)/(256.85 KJ/kg - 107.34 KJ/kg)

m = 0.352 kg/s

Consider a resistor made of pure silicon with a cross-sectional area pf 0.5 μm2, and a length of 50 μm. What is the resistance o

lukranit [14]

Answer: 24 pA

Explanation:

As pure silicon is a semiconductor, the resistivity value is strongly dependent of temperature, as the main responsible for conductivity, the number of charge carriers (both electrons and holes) does.

Based on these considerations, we found that at room temperature, pure silicon resistivity can be approximated as 2.1. 10⁵ Ω cm.

The resistance R of a given resistor, is expressed by the following formula:

R = ρ L / A

Replacing by the values for resistivity, L and A, we have

R = 2.1. 10⁵ Ω cm. (10⁴ μm/cm). 50 μm/ 0.5 μm2

R = 2.1. 10¹¹ Ω

Assuming that we can apply Ohm´s Law, the current that would pass through this resistor for an applied voltage of 5 V, is as follows:

I = V/R = 5 V / 2.1.10¹¹ Ω = 2.38. 10⁻¹¹ A= 24 pA

Should the ship breaking business continue why or why not?

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Ship-breaking or ship demolition is a type of ship disposal involving the breaking up of ships for either a source of parts, which can be sold for re-use, or for the extraction of raw materials, chiefly scrap. It may also be known as ship dismantling, ship cracking, or ship recycling. Modern ships have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years before corrosion, metal fatigue and a lack of parts render them uneconomical to operate.[1] Ship-breaking allows the materials from the ship, especially steel, to be recycled and made into new products. This lowers the demand for mined iron ore and reduces energy use in the steel making process. Fixtures and other equipment on board the vessels can also be reused. While ship-breaking is sustainable, there are concerns about the use of poorer countries without stringent environmental legislation. It is also labor-intensive, and considered one of the world's most dangerous industries.[2]

In 2012, roughly 1,250 ocean ships were broken down, and their average age was 26 years.[3][4] In 2013, the world total of demolished ships amounted to 29,052,000 tonnes, 92% of which were demolished in Asia. As of January 2020, India has the largest global share at 30%;[5] followed by Bangladesh, China and Pakistan.[6] Alang, India currently has the world's largest ship graveyard,[5] followed by Chittagong Ship Breaking Yard in Bangladesh and Gadani in Pakistan.[6]

The largest sources of ships are states of China, Greece and Germany respectively, although there is a greater variation in the source of carriers versus their disposal.[7] The ship-breaking yards of India, Bangladesh, China and Pakistan employ 225,000 workers as well as providing many indirect jobs. In Bangladesh, the recycled steel covers 20% of the country's needs and in India it is almost 10%.[8]

As an alternative to ship-breaking, ships may be sunk to create artificial reefs after legally-mandated removal of hazardous materials, or sunk in deep ocean waters. Storage is a viable temporary option, whether on land or afloat, though all ships will be eventually scrapped, sunk, or preserved for museums.
