To produce work a gas is expanded adiabatically from 3 MPa and 300oC to 80 kPa in a piston-cylinder device. Which of these two c
hoices –air with an isentropic expansion efficiency of 90% or neon with an isentropic expansion efficiency of 80% – will produce the most work?
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Check attachment for solution
Given that, .
The initial gas pressure is
P1 = 3 MPa
The initial gas temperature
T1 = 300°C
The final gas pressure is
P2 = 80 KPa
Which are of two choices
1. Air with an isentropic expansion of 90% efficiency
2. Neon with an isentropic expansion of 80% efficiency
We want to know which will produce more work

A distance of 10.8 cm beyond its natural length will a force of 30 N keep this spring stretched
<u>Explanation:</u>
Work, W = 2 J
Initial distance, = 30 cm
Final distance, = 42 cm
Force, F = 30 N
Stretched length, x = ?
We know,
W = 1/2 kΔx²
Δx = 42-30 cm = 12 cm = 0.12 m
2 J = 1/2 k X (0.12)²
k = 277.77 N/m
According to Hooke's law,
F = kx
30 N = 277.77 X x
x = 0.108 m
x = 10.8 cm
A distance of 10.8 cm beyond its natural length will a force of 30 N keep this spring stretched.
