A 2.5kg metal bar is quenched from 800°C by immersion in a closed insulated tank of water containing 50 litres of water initiall

y at 20°C. Assuming that both water and the metal bar can be treated as incompressible, determine the final temperature of the metal bar and the water, whose specific heat capacities are 0.500 and 4.18 kJ/kg.K respectively, and hence, using Gibbs' equation, calculate the amount of entropy produced by the quenching process.

Answer:

The amount of entropy produced by the quenching process is 0.303 kJ/K.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.5 kg

Temperature = 800°C

The mass of 50 L of water is 50 kg

Temperature = 20°C

Energy = 4.18 kJ/kg.K

If the final temperature of the metal bar and water is T₀°C, then

The heat lost by the bar = heat gained by water

m_{w}C_{w}(T_{0}-T)=m_{B}c_{B}(T-T_{0})

Put the value into the formula

4.18\times50(T-20)=0.5\times2.5(80-T)

209T-4180=1000-1.25T

210.25T=5180

T=\dfrac{5180}{210.25}

T=24.64^{\circ}C

Now, heat exchange between the systems

\Delta Q=m_{w}C_{w}(T-20)

\Delta Q=4.18\times50(24.64-20)

\Delta Q=969.76\ kJ

We need to calculate the entropy

Using formula of entropy

S=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{\dfrac{T+T_{0}}{2}+T'}-\dfrac{\Delta Q}{\dfrac{T+T_{0}}{2}+T'}

Where, T' = 273.15\ K

Put the value into the formula

S=\dfrac{969.76}{\dfrac{20+24.64}{2}+273.15}}-\dfrac{969.76}{\dfrac{80+24.64}{2}+273.15}

S=3.28209293668-2.97956800934

S=0.303\ kJ/K

Hence, The amount of entropy produced by the quenching process is 0.303 kJ/K.

daser333 [38]

To determine your line of latitude , you would need to know the angle your location (line) makes with the equatorial plane at earth's center.

<h3>What is Line of latitude?</h3>

This is also referred to as parallels and it is defined as the imaginary lines that divide the Earth. They run from east to west and are used to specify the north and south sides of the Earth.

To determine the line of latitude , it is imperative to know the angle your location (line) makes with the equatorial plane at earth's center which is therefore the reason why it was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

A bus travels a distance of 120 km with a speed of 40km per hour and returns with a speed of 30km per hour calculate the average
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

35 km/hr

Explanation:

Average speed = (total of the speed)/(the sets of speeds given)

Direction does not matter in this instance since speed is only magnitude,

Average speed = (30 + 40)/2

Average speed = 70 ÷ 2

= 35 km/hr

Given that coal used by electric power plants has a heating value of 27.5 million btus metric ton (25 million btus per ton), det
fredd [130]

Answer:

• 36.4 kg of coal.

• 80 pounds of coal.

Explanation:

Using proportionality constant,

Mass of coal = 1,000,000/27,500,000 btus/metric ton

= 0.0364 metric tons of coal

Mass of coal = 1,000,000/25,000,000 btus/ton

= 0.04 tons of coal.

Converting metric tons to kilogram,

1 metric ton = 1000kg,

0.0364 metric ton;

= 36.4 kg of coal.

Converting tons to pounds,

1 ton = 2000 pounds,

0.04 metric ton;

= 80 pounds of coal.

Which of the following will be the best condition for bread fermentation?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

a. Wet, soft dough at 85 degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation:

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that transforms starches into simpler substances. The rising of dough is due to fermentation.

According to Harold McGee, 85°F (29°C) is the best temperature for fermenting bread dough. Temperatures below 85°F (29°C) take  much longer to ferment, and temperatures higher than that result into unpleasant flavors in the dough.

Wet, soft dough is usually more preferable because it produces a softer bread.
