On a cold winter day when the temperature is −20∘C, what amount of heat is needed to warm to body temperature (37 ∘C) the 0.50 L

of air exchanged with each breath? Assume that the specific heat of air is 1020 J/kg⋅K and that 1.0 L of air has mass 1.3×10−3kg.

Answer:

75.6J

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem we must use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the heat required to heat the air is the difference between the energy levels of the air when it enters and when it leaves the body,

Given the above we have the following equation.

Q=(m)(h2)-(m)(h1)

where

m=mass=1.3×10−3kg.

h2= entalpy at 37C

h1= entalpy at -20C

Q=m(h2-h1)

remember that the enthalpy differences for the air can approximate the specific heat multiplied by the temperature difference

Q=mCp(T2-T1)

Cp= specific heat of air = 1020 J/kg⋅K

Q=(1.3×10−3)(1020)(37-(-20))=75.6J

On a foggy day, you are driving at 70 mph and Granny is driving at 50 mph. As you try to pass her, you both see an overturned tr
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

20 mph

Explanation:

Granny stopped from 50mph,

Her deceleration per unit time is

a = 50 - 0 = 50m/hr^2

This is also the amount of deceleration you experience per unit time (because both cars are identical), therefore your final speed with which you collide with the truck will be,

50 = 70 - v

V = 70 - 50 = 20mph

The photometer is a device that converts light to voltage which is read out by the digital multimeter (DMM). This is due to the
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

It converts light into electric current.

Explanation:

The first line of the description says that the photometer is a device that converts light to voltage. if the voltage can be measured then current flowing through it can be calculated by Ohms law V=IR.

<em>Hence the photometer converts light to electric current.</em>

The photometer is used to measure the strength of electromagnetic radiation falling on it and operate within the range of ultraviolet ,visible and infrared spectrum.

It converts light to electric current using photodiode (pn junction),photoresistor and photmultiplier.

On the basis, a given figure, calculate rfficiency of the lever. ​
daser333 [38]

Explanation:

here,load=100N

effort=200N

distance travelled by load=2cm

distance travelled by effort=10cm

Now, output work=L*Ld

=100*2

=200g

Again,

input work =E*Ed

200*10

2000j

again, efficiency = output work/input work*100%

200/2000*100%

=10%

Steam at 400C has a specific volume of 0.02m3/kg. Determine the pressure of the steam based on a) the ideal gas equation b) the
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

by ideal gas pressure = 15529.475 kPa

by compressibility chart pressure = 12576 kPa

by steam tables Pressure = 12517 kPa

Explanation:

given data

temperature T = 400°C = 673 K

volume v = 0.02 m³/kg

to find out

pressure by ideal gas, compressibility chart and steam tables

solution

we know here by table

gas constant R is 0.4615 kJ/ kg-K

and critical temp Tc = 647.1 K

and critical pressure Pc = 22064 kPa

so by ideal gas pressure is

pressure = R×T / v

pressure = 0.4615 × 673  / 0.02

pressure = 15529.475 kPa

and

by compressibility chart

temperature reduce is = T/ Tc

temperature reduce Tr = 673 / 647.1

Tr = 1.040 K

so pseudo reduce volume is here

reduce volume Vr = v / ( RTc/Pc)

reduce volume Vr =\frac{0.02}{\frac{461.5(647.1)}{22064*10^{3} } }

0.02 / ( 461.5(647.1) / 22064×10³)

reduce volume = 1.48

and we know by compressibility chart

reduce pressure Pr is 0.57

so

pressure = Pr × Pc

pressure = 0.57 × 22064 ×  10³

pressure = 12576 kPa

and

from steam table

pressure is 12.5 MPa at 673 K and 0.020030 m³/kg

pressure is 15 MPa at 673 K and 0.015671 m³/kg

so

pressure P is

\frac{0.02 - 0.020030}{0.015671 - 0.020030} = \frac{ P - 12.5}{15 - 12.5}

so

Pressure = 12517 kPa
