Very thin films are usually deposited under vacuum conditions to prevent contamination and ensure that atoms can fly directly fr

om the source to the depositing surface without being scattered along the way.
a. To get an idea of how few and far between the air molecules are in a thin-film deposition chamber, determine the mean free path of a generic "air" molecule with an effective diameter of 0.25 nm at a pressure of 1.5 x 10-6 Pa and temperature of 300 K.


b. If the chamber is spherical with a diameter of 10 cm, estimate how many times a given molecule will collide with the chamber before colliding with another air molecule.


c. How many air molecules are in the chamber (treating "air" as an ideal gas)?

Answer:

a. 9947 m

b. 99476 times

c. 2*10^11 molecules

Explanation:

a) To find the mean free path of the air molecules you use the following formula:

\lambda=\frac{RT}{\sqrt{2}\pi d^2N_AP}

R: ideal gas constant = 8.3144 Pam^3/mol K

P: pressure = 1.5*10^{-6} Pa

T: temperature = 300K

N_A: Avogadros' constant = 2.022*10^{23}molecules/mol

d: diameter of the particle = 0.25nm=0.25*10^-9m

By replacing all these values you obtain:

\lambda=\frac{(8.3144 Pa m^3/mol K)(300K)}{\sqrt{2}\pi (0.25*10^{-9}m)^2(6.02*10^{23})(1.5*10^{-6}Pa)}=9947.62m

b) If we assume that the molecule, at the average, is at the center of the chamber, the times the molecule will collide is:

n_{collision}=\frac{9947.62m}{0.05m}\approx198952\  times

c) By using the equation of the ideal gases you obtain:

PV=NRT\\\\N=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{(1.5*10^{-6}Pa)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.05m)^3)}{(8.3144Pa\ m^3/mol\ K)(300K)}=3.14*10^{-13}mol\\\\n=(3.14*10^{-13})(6.02*10^{23})\ molecules\approx2*10^{11}\ molecules

kozerog [31]

Answer:

a)Wt =25.68 lbf

b)Wt = 150 lbf

F= 899.59 N

Explanation:

Given that

g = 5.48 ft/s^2.

m= 150 lbm

a)

Weight on the spring scale(Wt) = m g

We know that

1\ lbf=32.17 \ lmb.ft/s^2

Wt = 150 x 5.48/32 lbf

Wt =25.68 lbf

b)

On the beam scale

This is scale which does not affects by gravitational acceleration.So the wight on the beam scale will be 150 lbf.

Wt = 150 lbf

If the plane is moving upward with acceleration 6 g's then the for F

F = m a

We know that

1\ ft/s^2= 0.304\ m/s^2

5.48\ ft/s^2= 1.66\ m/s^2

a=6 g's

a=9.99\ m/s^2

So

F = 90 x 9.99 N

F= 899.59 N

What is the maximum thermal efficiency possible for a power cycle operating between 600P'c and 110°C? a). 47% b). 56% c). 63% d)
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

(b) 56%

Explanation:

the maximum thermal efficiency is possible only when power cycle is reversible in nature and when power cycle is reversible in nature the thermal efficiency depends on the temperature

here we have given T₁ (Higher temperature)= 600+273=873

lower temperature T₂=110+273=383

Efficiency of power cycle is given by =1-\frac{T2}{T1}

=1-\frac{383}{873}

=1-0.43871

=.56

=56%
