Answer:

$r= \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}$

$\eta =1-\dfrac{1}{r^{\gamma-1}}$

Explanation:

Compression ratio:

Compression ratio is the ratio of volume in the cylinder.Generally it is denoted by r.

The compression ratio for Otto cycle is about 8 to 12.But the compression ratio of diesel engine is about 14 to 25.

So from the Otto cycle compression ratio can be define as

$r= \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}$

As we know that efficiency defines as the ratio of work out to the heat input.In the Otto cycle the efficiency is given as in terms of compression ratio r as

$\eta =1-\dfrac{1}{r^{\gamma-1}}$

Where γ is the heat capacity ratio.

Answer:

maximum value of the power delivered to the circuit =3.75W

energy delivered to the element = 3750e^{ -IOOOt} - 7000e ^{-2OOOt} -3750

Explanation:

V =75 - 75e-1000t V

l = 50e -IOOOt mA

power = IV = 50 * 10^-3 e -IOOOt * (75 - 75e-1000t)

=50 * 10^-3 e -IOOOt *75 (1 - e-1000t)

maximum value of the power delivered to the circuit =3.75W

the total energy delivered to the element = $\int\limits^t_0 {3.75(e^{ -IOOOt} - e ^{-2OOOt} )} , dx \\\\$

$3750e^{ -IOOOt} - 7000e ^{-2OOOt} -3750$

Answer:

Responsibility

Explanation:

By stamping the drawings that he was looking over, Jack Gillum conveys the fact that he is accepting responsibility for this work. The purpose of Gillum's stamp is to explain that such work has been under engineering review, and that it has fulfilled all the requirements that he watches our for. By putting his stamp in this work, Gillum accepts responsibility in case an error or a discrepancy is found in the drawings.

A rigid tank contains 2 kg of N2 and 4 kg of Co2 at temperature of 25 C and 1 MPa. Find the partial pressure of each gas respect

lions [1.4K]

Answer: Partial pressures are 0.6 MPa for nitrogen gas and 0.4 MPa for carbon dioxide.

Explanation: Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure states when there is a mixture of gases the total pressure is the sum of the pressure of each individual gas:

$P_{total} = P_{1}+P_{2}+...$
