Answer

given,

oil barrel weight  = 1.5 k N = 1500 N

weight of the barrel = 110 N

Assuming volume of barrel = 0.159 m³

weight of oil = 1500-110

                     = 1390 N

specific\ weight = \dfrac{weight}{volume}

specific\ weight = \dfrac{1390}{0.159}

            = 8742.14 N/m³

mass = \dfrac{weight}{g}

mass = \dfrac{1390}{9.8}

              = 141.84 kg

density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}

density = \dfrac{141.84}{0.159}

                    = 892.05 kg/m³

Specific\ gravity = \dfrac{density\ of\ oil}{density\ of\ water}

Specific\ gravity = \dfrac{892.05}{1000}

                    = 0.892

The difference between an initial condition and a boundary condition for conduction in a solid is:___________
leva [86]

Answer:

c. an initial condition specifies the temperature at the start of the problem and a boundary condition provides information about temperatures on the boundaries.

Explanation:

Conduction refers to the transfer of thermal energy or electric charge as a result of the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Any material or object that allow the conduction (transfer) of electric charge or thermal energy is generally referred to as a conductor. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.

Hence, the difference between an initial condition and a boundary condition for conduction in a solid is that an initial condition specifies the temperature at the start of the problem and a boundary condition provides information about temperatures on the boundaries.

The gas expanding in the combustion space of a reciprocating engine has an initial pressure of 5 MPa and an initial temperature
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

a). Work transfer = 527.2 kJ

b). Heat Transfer = 197.7 kJ

Explanation:

Given:

P_{1} = 5 Mpa

T_{1} = 1623°C

                       = 1896 K

V_{1} = 0.05 m^{3}

Also given \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = 20

Therefore, V_{2} = 1  m^{3}

R = 0.27 kJ / kg-K

C_{V} = 0.8 kJ / kg-K

Also given : P_{1}V_{1}^{1.25}=C

   Therefore, P_{1}V_{1}^{1.25} = P_{2}V_{2}^{1.25}

                     5\times 0.05^{1.25}=P_{2}\times 1^{1.25}

                     P_{2} = 0.1182 MPa

a). Work transfer, δW = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}-P_{2}V_{2}}{n-1}

                                  \left [\frac{5\times 0.05-0.1182\times 1}{1.25-1}  \right ]\times 10^{6}

                              = 527200 J

                             = 527.200 kJ

b). From 1st law of thermodynamics,

Heat transfer, δQ = ΔU+δW

   = \frac{mR(T_{2}-T_{1})}{\gamma -1}+ \frac{P_{1}V_{1}-P_{2}V_{2}}{n-1}

  =\left [ \frac{\gamma -n}{\gamma -1} \right ]\times \delta W

  =\left [ \frac{1.4 -1.25}{1.4 -1} \right ]\times 527.200

  = 197.7 kJ
