A piston-cylinder assembly has initially a volume of 0.3 m3 of air at 25 °C. Mass of the air is 1 kg. Weights are put on the pis

ton until the air reaches to 0.1 m3 and 1,000 °C, in which the air undergoes a polytropic process (PV" const). Assume that heat loss from the cylinder, friction of piston, kinetic and potential effects are negligible. 1) Determine the polytropic constant n. 2) Determine the work transfer in ki for this process, and diseuss its direction. 3) sketch the process in T-V (temperature-volume) diagram.

Answer:

n=2.32

w= -213.9 KW

Explanation:

$V_1=0.3m^3,T_1=298 K$

$V_2=0.1m^3,T_1=1273 K$

Mass of air=1 kg

For polytropic process $pv^n=C$ ,n is the polytropic constant.

$Tv^{n-1}=C$

$T_1v^{n-1}_1=T_2v^{n-1}_2$

$298\times .3^{n-1}_1=1273\times .1^{n-1}_2$

n=2.32

Work in polytropic process given as

w= $\dfrac{P_1V_1-P_2V_2}{n-1}$

w= $mR\dfrac{T_1-T_2}{n-1}$

Now by putting the values

w= $1\times 0.287\dfrac{289-1273}{2.32-1}$

w= -213.9 KW

Negative sign indicates that work is given to the system or work is done on the system.

For T_V diagram

We can easily observe that when piston cylinder reach on new position then volume reduces and temperature increases,so we can say that this is compression process.

What's a disadvantage of highest MERV-rated filters?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

3) the pressure drop across high MERV filters is significant.

Explanation:

MERV (Minimum-Efficiency Reporting Value) is used to measure the efficiency of filter to remove particles. A filter of high MERV can filter smaller particles but this causes an increase in reduced air flow that is an increase in pressure drop. High MERV filters capture more particles causing them to get congested faster and thereby increasing pressure drop.

Excessive pressure drop can cause overheating and lead to damage of the filter. The pressure drop can be reduced by increasing the surface area of the filter.

Two common methods of improving fuel efficiency of a vehicle are to reduce the drag coefficient and the frontal area of the vehi

qaws [65]

Answer:

$\Delta V = 209.151\,L$ , $\Delta C = 217.517\,USD$

Explanation:

The drag force is equal to:

$F_{D} = C_{D}\cdot \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho_{air}\cdot v^{2}\cdot A$

Where $C_{D}$ is the drag coefficient and $A$ is the frontal area, respectively. The work loss due to drag forces is:

$W = F_{D}\cdot \Delta s$

The reduction on amount of fuel is associated with the reduction in work loss:

$\Delta W = (F_{D,1} - F_{D,2})\cdot \Delta s$

Where $F_{D,1}$ and $F_{D,2}$ are the original and the reduced frontal areas, respectively.

$\Delta W = C_{D}\cdot \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho_{air}\cdot v^{2}\cdot (A_{1}-A_{2})\cdot \Delta s$

The change is work loss in a year is:

$\Delta W = (0.3)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot (1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}})\cdot (27.778\,\frac{m}{s})^{2}\cdot [(1.85\,m)\cdot (1.75\,m) - (1.50\,m)\cdot (1.75\,m)]\cdot (25\times 10^{6}\,m)$

$\Delta W = 2.043\times 10^{9}\,J$

$\Delta W = 2.043\times 10^{6}\,kJ$

The change in chemical energy from gasoline is:

$\Delta E = \frac{\Delta W}{\eta}$

$\Delta E = \frac{2.043\times 10^{6}\,kJ}{0.3}$

$\Delta E = 6.81\times 10^{6}\,kJ$

The changes in gasoline consumption is:

$\Delta m = \frac{\Delta E}{L_{c}}$

$\Delta m = \frac{6.81\times 10^{6}\,kJ}{44000\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }$

$\Delta m = 154.772\,kg$

$\Delta V = \frac{154.772\,kg}{0.74\,\frac{kg}{L} }$

$\Delta V = 209.151\,L$

Lastly, the money saved is:

$\Delta C = \left(\frac{154.772\,kg}{0.74\,\frac{kg}{L} }\right)\cdot (1.04\,\frac{USD}{L} )$

$\Delta C = 217.517\,USD$

When you learned about the Highway Transportation system you learned about 6 different types of people as

Musya8 [376]

Answer: 3 different types of people using Highway Transportation system are :

1. Pedestrians - should be given priority while driving.

2. Cyclists - should be given enough space on road.

3. Motorcyclists- should be given enough space on road.

Explanation:

1. Pedestrians - Most of pedestrians use to walk on the footpath along side road that keeps them on a safe side. But there are places without footpath along side road, in that case they have to walk on the road itself. Here, we need to take care for them. We need to wait in case they are crossing road and also check for them while taking a turn.

2. Cyclists - They travel on road but are tough to figure out. They travel at a slower pace compared to cars. To avoid any accident with them, we are supposed to give them enough space which should be equivalent to a car's space.

3. Motorcyclists - They can pass by very closely and also come between lanes. Most of the things to be considered here are same as that of cyclists. Here also, we need to check for them carefully while taking a turn. Also, need to give them enough space.
