Liquid Hydrogen is the fuel used by rockets.

Explanation:

Liquid hydrogen which can be chemically denoted as " $LH_{2}$ " is often considered as the significant fuels for rocket.

However rocket in its lower stages uses fuels such as Kerosene and oxygen where as in the higher stages such as second and third stages it uses liquid hydrogen.

Liquid hydrogen is known to easily cool the nozzle and then also other parts of the rocket before mixing with the oxidizer such as the oxygen.

Thus liquid hydrogen helps in preventing nozzle erosion and also reduces combustion chamber.
Liquid hydrogen one the other hand is very expensive as 384,071 gallons of it will cost approximately $376,389.58 .

Thus liquid hydrogen is effectively used as a fuel for rocket.

A weighted, frictionless piston-cylinder device initially contains 5.25 kg of R134a as saturated vapor at 500 kPa. The container

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

-6.326 KJ/K

Explanation:

A) the entropy change is defined as:

$delta S_{12}=\int\limits^2_1 \, \frac{dQ}{T}$

In an isobaric process heat (Q) is defined as:

$Q= m*Cp*dT$

Replacing in the equation for entropy

$delta S_{12}=\int\limits^2_1 \frac{m*Cp*dT}{T}$

m is the mass and Cp is the specific heat of R134a. We can considerer these values as constants so the expression for entropy would be:

$delta S_{12}= m*Cp*\int\limits^2_1 \frac{ dT }{T}$

Solving the integral we get the expression to estimate the entropy change in the system

$delta S_{12}= m*Cp *ln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})$

The mass is 5.25 Kg and Cp for R134a vapor can be consulted in tables, this value is $0.85\frac{kJ}{Kg*K}$

We can get the temperature at the beginning knowing that is saturated vapor at 500 KPa. Consulting the thermodynamic tables, we get that temperature of saturation at this pressure is: 288.86 K

The temperature in the final state we can get it from the heat expression, since we know how much heat was lost in the process (-976.71 kJ). By convention when heat is released by the system a negative sign is used to express it.

$Q= m*Cp*dT$

With $dt=T_{2}-T_{1}$ clearing for T2 we get:

$T_{2}=\frac{Q}{m*Cp}+T1= \frac{-976.71kJ}{5.25Kg*0.85\frac{kJ}{Kg*K}}+288.86 K =69.98 K$

Now we can estimate the entropy change in the system

$delta S_{12}= m*Cp*ln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})= 5.25Kg*0.85\frac{kJ}{Kg*K}*ln(\frac{69.98}{288.861})= -6.326\frac{kJ}{K}$

The entropy change in the system is negative because we are going from a state with a lot of disorder (high temperature) to one more organize (less temperature. This was done increasing the entropy of the surroundings.

b) see picture.

What do you think the top TWO game elements are that directly contribute to player immersion?

fredd [130]

Sound (like music and background sound) and detail. The music and background sound is what sets the mood for the game. In horror games, the sound is sometimes uneasy to make the player feel anxious, and when something chases you the music turns into fast-pace and making the player scared and feel that adrenaline. The detail also is a great factor. The more realistic a game is, the more it feels like real life and determines if the player will get a real reaction from the game.

A two-bus power system is interconnected by one transmission line. Bus 1 is a generator bus with specified terminal voltage magn

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

a) | v2 | , β2 ( load, bus voltage at bus 2 )

p1 , q1 ( slack, bus power at bus 1 )

b) q2 , β2

p1 and q1 ( slack, bus power at bus 1 )

Explanation:

Attached below is a schematic representation of the solution

a) Identify the variables in the solution vector assume Bus 2 is a load bus

The specified parameters are ; P2 and q2

while | v2 | and β2 are not specified

given that bus 2 is a load bus, bus 1 is a slack bus with ; | v1 | and β1 been specified while p1 and q1 are not specified

Hence the variables in the solution

= | v2 | , β2 ( load, bus voltage at bus 2 )

p1 , q1 ( slack, bus power at bus 1 )

b) Identify the variables in the solution vector ( assume Bus 2 is a PV bus )

specified at Bus 2 are ; | p2 | , | v2 |

unspecified : q2 , β2

Bus 1 ( still a slack bus )

specified parameter : | v1 | and β1

unspecified : p1 and q1

Hence the variables in the solution

= q2 , β2

p1 and q1 ( slack, bus power at bus 1 )

A reservoir delivers water to a horizontal pipeline 39 long The first 15 m has a diameter of 50 mm, after which it suddenly beco

allsm [11]

Answer:

The difference of head in the level of reservoir is 0.23 m.

Explanation:

For pipe 1

$d_1=50 mm,f_1=0.0048$

For pipe 2

$d_2=75 mm,f_2=0.0058$

Q=2.8 l/s

$Q=2.8\times 10^{-3]$

We know that Q=AV

$Q=A_1V_1=A_2V_2$

$A_1=1.95\times 10^{-3}m^2$

$A_2=4.38\times 10^{-3} m^2$

$So V_2=0.63 m/s,V_1=1.43 m/s$

head loss (h)

$h=\dfrac{f_1L_1V_1^2}{2gd_1}+\dfrac{f_2L_2V_2^2}{2gd_2}+0.5\dfrac{V_1^2}{2g}$

Now putting the all values

$h=\dfrac{0.0048\times 15\times 1.43^2}{2\times 9.81\times 0.05}+\dfrac{0.0058\times 24\times 0.63^2}{2\times 9.81\times 0.075}+0.5\dfrac{1.43^2}{2\times 9.81}$

So h=0.23 m

So the difference of head in the level of reservoir is 0.23 m.
