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

Answer:
The speed of the top of the wheel is twice the speed of the car.
That is: 72 m/s
Explanation:
To find the speed of the top of the wheel, we need to combine to velocities: the tangential velocity of the rotating wheel due to rotational motion - with
being the wheel's angular velocity,
plus the velocity due to the translation of the center of mass (v = 36 m/s).
The wheel's angular velocity (in radians per second) can be obtained using the tangential velocity for the pure rotational motion and it equals:
Then the addition of these two velocities equals:
