A closed system consisting of 10 lb of air undergoes a polytropic process from p1 = 75 lbf/in2, v1 = 4 ft3/lb to a final state w

here p2 = 20 lbf/in2, v2 = 12 ft3/lb. Determine the polytropic exponent, n, and the amount of energy transfer by work, in Btu, for the process.

Answer:

The polytropic exponent (n) is 1.2

The amount of energy transfer by work is 552.45 Btu

Explanation:

P1V1^n = P2V2^n

P1 = 75 lbf/in^2 = 75 lbf/in^2 × 143.3 in^2/ft^2 = 10,747.5 lbf/ft^2

V1 = 4 ft^3/lb × 10 lb = 40 ft^3

P2 = 20 lbf/in^2 = 20 × 143.3 = 2866 lbf/ft^2

V2 = 12 ft^3/lb × 10 lb = 120 ft^3

(V2/V1)^n = P1/P2

(120/40)^n = 10747.5/2866

3^n = 3.75

ln 3^n = ln 3.75

n ln 3 = ln 3.75

n = ln 3.75/ln 3 = 1.2

W = (P2V2 - P1V1)/1 - n = (2866×120 - 10747.5×40)/1-1.2 = (343,920 - 429,900)/-0.2 = -85,980/-0.2 = 429,900 lbf.ft = 429,900/778.17 Btu = 552.45 Btu

MGS and later orbiters found spectral evidence for what minerals on the Martian surface? Check all that apply.
slamgirl [31]

Mars Global Surveyors (MGS) and later orbiters found the following  minerals on the  Martian surface;

  • Phyllosilicates
  • Carbonate
  • Sulfates
  • Iron oxide

The Mars Global Surveyors (MGS) and later orbiters suggest that the Martian crust contains a higher percentage of volatile elements such as Sulphur and chlorine than the Earth's crust does.

These scientists also conclude that the most abundant chemical elements  in the Martian crust are those found in Igneous rock.

These elements include the following;

  • Silicon,
  • Oxygen,
  • Iron,
  • Magnesium,
  • Aluminum,
  • Calcium, and
  • Potassium.

They also, suggest that hydrogen is found in ice (water) while carbon is found in carbon dioxide and carbonates.

From the given options the minerals found in Martian surface include;

  • Phyllosilicates ------ these are sheet of silicate minerals
  • Carbonate
  • Sulfates
  • iron oxide

Problems with solar energy include _____.
german
First choice:  the inability of current technology to capture
large amounts of the Sun's energy

Well, it's true that large amounts of it get away ... our 'efficiency' at capturing it is still rather low.  But the amount of free energy we're able to capture is still huge and significant, so this isn't really a major problem.

Second choice:  the inability of current technology to store
captured solar energy

No.  We're pretty good at building batteries to store small amounts, or raising water to store large amounts.  Storage could be better and cheaper than it is, but we can store huge amounts of captured solar energy right now, so this isn't a major problem either.

Third choice:  inconsistencies in the availability of the resource

I think this is it.  If we come to depend on solar energy, then we're
expectedly out of luck at night, and we may unexpectedly be out
of luck during long periods of overcast skies.

Fourth choice:  lack of demand for solar energy

If there is a lack of demand, it's purely a result of willful manipulation
of the market by those whose interests are hurt by solar energy.
