An insulated rigid tank contains 3 kg of H2O in the form of a saturated mixture of liquid and vapor at a pressure of 150 kPa and

a quality of 0.25. An electric heater inside the tank is turned on to heat this H2O until the pressure increases to 200 kPa. Please determine the change in total entropy of water during this process. Hint: See if you can find the electrical work consumed during this process.

Answer:

change in entropy is 1.44 kJ/ K

Explanation:

from steam tables

At 150 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001053 m^3/kg

vg = 1.1594 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.4337 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.789 kJ/kg

initial specific volume is calculated as

v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)

      = 0.001053 + 0.25(1.1594 - 0.001053)

v_1 = 0.20964  m^3/kg

s_1 = Sf + x(Sfg)

     = 1.4337 + 0.25 \times 5.7894 = 2.88 kJ/kg K

FROM STEAM Table

at 200 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001061 m^3/kg

vg = 0.88578 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.5302 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.5698 kJ/kg

constant volume  sov_1 -  v_2  = 0.29064 m^3/kg

v_2 = v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)

       =0.29064 = x_2(0.88578 - 0.001061)

x_2 = 0.327

s_2 = 1.5302 + 0.32 \times 5.5968 = 3.36035 kJ/kg K

Change in entropy \Delta s = m(s_2 - s_1)

              =3( 3.36035 - 2.88) =  1.44 kJ/kg

What is the order of magnitude of the distance of Sun to nearest star in meters?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Approximating the Milky Way as a disk and using the density in the solar neighborhood, there are about 100 billion stars in the Milky Way.

Explanation:

Since we are making an order of magnitude estimate, we will make a series of simplifying assumptions to get an answer that is roughly right.

Let's model the Milky Way galaxy as a disk.

The volume of a disk is:

V

=

π

⋅

r

2

⋅

h

Plugging in our numbers (and assuming that

π

≈

3

)

V

=

π

⋅

(

m

)

2

⋅

(

10

19

m

)

V

=

3

×

10

61

m

3

Is the approximate volume of the Milky Way.

Now, all we need to do is find how many stars per cubic meter (

ρ

) are in the Milky Way and we can find the total number of stars.

Let's look at the neighborhood around the Sun. We know that in a sphere with a radius of

4

×

10

16

m there is exactly one star (the Sun), after that you hit other stars. We can use that to estimate a rough density for the Milky Way.

ρ

=

n

V

Using the volume of a sphere

V

)

ρ

stars /

m

Going back to the density equation:

ρ

=

n

V

n

=

Plugging in the density of the solar neighborhood and the volume of the Milky Way:

n

n

stars (or 100 billion stars)

Is this reasonable? Other estimates say that there are are 100-400 billion stars in the Milky Way. This is exactly what we found.

What is buoyant force?
Nostrana [21]

This is the upthrust on an object which is placed inside a fluid

This force act upwards and always push upwards

so the correct answer is given as

D. A force within a fluid that pushes upward

this force is always due to pressure difference at two levels of

at lower level since pressure is more that is why the force is upwards and this upthrust is known as Buoyancy

HELP I NEED THIS ANSWERED AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WITCHER [35]

Displacement is d  


Vf² = Vi² + 2 g d  


(-20²) = (+10²) + 2 (-9.8) d  


-19.6 d = 300  


d = -15.3 m  


negative means lower


time is t  


d = Vi t + 1/2 g t²



-15.3 = 10 t + (-4.9) t²



4.9 t² - 10 t -15.3 = 0  


t = 3.06 s

Hope this helps -John
