1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Given data:
Diffusion constant for nitrogen is
Diffusion flux
concentration of nitrogen at high presuure = 2 kg/m^3
location on which nitrogen concentration is 0.5 kg/m^3 ......?
from fick's first law
Take C_A as point on which nitrogen concentration is 2 kg/m^3
Assume X_A is zero at the surface

Assumptions:
- Steady state.
- Air as working fluid.
- Ideal gas.
- Reversible process.
- Ideal Otto Cycle.
Explanation:
Otto cycle is a thermodynamic cycle widely used in automobile engines, in which an amount of gas (air) experiences changes of pressure, temperature, volume, addition of heat, and removal of heat. The cycle is composed by (following the P-V diagram):
- Intake <em>0-1</em>: the mass of working fluid is drawn into the piston at a constant pressure.
- Adiabatic compression <em>1-2</em>: the mass of working fluid is compressed isentropically from State 1 to State 2 through compression ratio (r).
- Ignition 2-3: the volume remains constant while heat is added to the mass of gas.
- Expansion 3-4: the working fluid does work on the piston due to the high pressure within it, thus the working fluid reaches the maximum volume through the compression ratio.
- Heat Rejection 4-1: heat is removed from the working fluid as the pressure drops instantaneously.
- Exhaust 1-0: the working fluid is vented to the atmosphere.
If the system produces enough work, the automobile and its occupants will propel. On the other hand, the efficiency of the Otto Cycle is defined as follows:
where:
Ideal air is the working fluid, as stated before, for which its specific heat ratio can be considered constant.

See image attached.
Answer:
Assumption:
1. The kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible
2. The cylinder is well insulated and thus heat transfer is negligible.
3. The thermal energy stored in the cylinder itself is negligible.
4. The process is stated to be reversible
Analysis:
a. This is reversible adiabatic(i.e isentropic) process and thus
From the refrigerant table A11-A13
sat vapor
m=
b.) We take the content of the cylinder as the sysytem.
This is a closed system since no mass leaves or enters.
Hence, the energy balance for adiabatic closed system can be expressed as:
