Carbon dioxide initially at 50 kPa, 400 K, undergoes a process in a closed system until its pressure and temperature are 2 MPa a

nd 800 K, respectively. Assuming an ideal gas behaviour, find the entropy change of the carbon dioxide by assuming that the specific heats are constant. For the gas, take Cp = 0.846 kJ/kg.K and R = 0.1889 kJ/kg.K

Answer:

\Delta S=-0.11\frac{kJ}{kg*K}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can compute the entropy change by using the following equation containing both pressure and temperature:

\Delta S=Cp\ ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1} )-R\ ln(\frac{p_2}{p_1} )

Thus, we use the given data to obtain (2 MPa = 2000 kPa):

\Delta S=0.846\frac{kJ}{kg*K} \ ln(\frac{800K}{400K} )-0.1889\frac{kJ}{kg*K} \ ln(\frac{2000kPa}{50kPa} )\\\\\Delta S=-0.11\frac{kJ}{kg*K}

Best regards.

How does the rotation of a galaxy result in spectral line broadening?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Normal galaxies are made up of stars and (in the case of spiral and irregular galaxies) gas and dust. Their spectra consist of the sum of the spectra of these components.

The optical spectra of normal stars are continuous spectra overlaid by absorption lines (Figure 1). There are two factors to consider when adding up the spectra of a number of stars to produce the spectrum of a galaxy:

Different types of star have different absorption lines in their spectra. When the spectra are added together, the absorption lines are 'diluted' because a line in the spectrum of one type of star may not appear in the spectra of other types.

Doppler shifts can affect all spectral lines. All lines from a galaxy share the red-shift of the galaxy, but Doppler shifts can also arise from motions of objects within the galaxy. As a result, the absorption lines become broader and shallower. We explain below how this Doppler broadening comes about.

HII regions in spiral and irregular galaxies (though not, of course, ellipticals) shine brightly and contribute significantly to the spectrum of the galaxy. The optical spectrum of an HII region consists mainly of emission lines, as in Figure 2. When the spectra of the HII regions and the stars of a galaxy are added together, the emission lines from the HII regions tend to remain as prominent features in the spectrum unless a line coincides with a stellar absorption line. There are Doppler shift effects, however, as described for stellar absorption lines, and hence emission lines too are broadened because of the motion of HII regions within a galaxy.

Box 1: Doppler Broadening

The Doppler effect causes wavelengths to be lengthened when the source is moving away from the observer (red-shifted) and shortened when the source is moving towards the observer (blue-shifted).

Light from an astrophysical source is the sum of many photons emitted by individual atoms. Each of these atoms is in motion and so their photons will be seen as blue- or red-shifted according to the relative speeds of the atom and the observer. For example, even though all hydrogen atoms emit H photons of precisely the same wavelength, an observer will see the photons arrive with a spread of wavelengths: the effect is to broaden the H spectral line - called Doppler broadening.

In general, if the emitting atoms are in motion with a range of speeds Δν along the line of sight to the observer (the velocity dispersion) then the Doppler broadening is given by

where c is the speed of light, and λ is the central wavelength of the spectral line.

Why would the atoms be in motion? An obvious reason is that they are 'hot'. Atoms in a hot gas, for example, will be moving randomly with a range of speeds related to the temperature of the gas. For a gas of atoms of mass m at a temperature T, the velocity dispersion is given by

where k is the Boltzmann constant (1.38 × 10−23 J K−1).

Why is cathode positive in leclanche cell??
laila [671]

Answer:

Because the zinc is reluctant

Explanation:

A leclanche cell contains a conducting solution (electrolyte) of ammonium chloride, a cathode (positive terminal) of carbon, a depolarizer of manganese dioxide (oxidizer), and an anode (negative terminal) of zinc (reductant).

As the Zn2+ ions move away from the anode, leaving their electrons on its surface,

Zn → Zn2+ + 2e−

the anode becomes more negatively charged than the cathode. When the cell is connected to an external electrical circuit, the excess electrons on the zinc anode flow through the circuit to the carbon rod, the movement of electrons forming an electric current.

Am arrow of mass 1000kg is shot into a wooden block of mass 5000lg lying at rest in a smooth surface.If the arrow travels 15m/s
Ber [7]

Answer:

Vf=3

Explanation:

you must first write your data

data before impact

M1=1000 M2=5000

V1=0 m/s V2 =0m/s

data after impact

M1=1000 M2=5000

V1=15m/s V2=?

M1V1 +M2V2=M1V1 +M2V2f

(1000)(0)+(5000)(0)=(1000)(15)+(5000)Vf

0=15000+5000Vf

- 15000÷5000=5000Vf÷5000

Vf= -3

Vf =3

What is the primary ingredient of power yoga?
LuckyWell [14K]
The primary ingredient of power yoga was said to be heated. The heat makes the power yoga so particularly effective as a physical therapy. The heat is primarily used in shaping glasses to any figures that the person may want to. Power yoga can practically provide more space for fluids to carry the nutrients and remove toxins
