Do you understand entropy? Why the concept of entropy is difficult to engineering students?

Engineering

Darya [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Entropy:

  Entropy is the measure of randomness of system.In other words the entropy is the measurement of tendency of system towards the disorder.

The concept of entropy arise from second law of thermodynamics.It is given as follows

ds=\int \dfrac{dQ}{T}

Entropy is a extensive property of system .

Entropy of universe = Entropy of system + Entropy of surrounding.

The entropy of the system can be zero,positive and negative.But entropy of the surrounding can not be negative,but it can be zero or positive.

Actually the concept of entropy is difficult to understand because we can not visualize because it is not like beam and like rods.Only we have to  realize that there is entropy.

At 45° latitude, the gravitational acceleration as a function of elevation z above sea level is given by g = a − bz , where a =
Ahat [919]

Answer:

8861.75 m approximately 8862 m

Explanation:

We need to remember Newton's 2nd Law which says that the force experienced by an object is proportional to his acceleration and that the constant of proportionality between those two vectors correspond to the mass of the object.

F=ma for the weight of an object (which is a force) we have that the acceleration experienced by that object is equal to the gravitational acceleration, obtaining that  W = mg

For simplicity we work with g =9.807 \frac{m}{s^{2}} despiting the effect of the height above sea level. In this problem, we've been asked by the height above sea level that makes the weight of an object 0.30% more lighter.

In accord with the formula g = a-bz the "normal" or "standard" weight of an object is given by W = mg = ma when z = 0, so we need to find the value of z that makes W = m(a-bz) = 0.997ma meaning that the original weight decrease by a 0.30%, so now we operate...

m(a-bz) = 0.997ma now we group like terms on the same sides ma(1-0.997) = mbz we cancel equal tems on both sides and obtain that z = \frac{a}{b} (0.003) = \frac{9.807 \frac{m}{s^{2} } }{3.32*10^{-6} s^{-2} } (0.003) = 8861.75 m

Consider a N-channel enhancement MOSFET with VGS = 3V, Vt = 1 V, VDS = 10 V, and lambda =0 (channel length modulation parameter)
AveGali [126]

The current IDS is greater than 0 since the VGS has induced an inversion layer and the transistor is operating in the saturation region.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Since V_{ds} > V_{gs} - Vt because V_{gs} > Vt.
  • By the saturation region the MOSFET is operating.
  • A specific source voltage and gate of NMOS, the voltage get drained during the specific level, the drain voltage is rises beyond where there is no effect of current during saturated region.
  • MOSFET is a transistor which is a device of semiconductor vastly used for the electronic amplifying signals and switching in the devices of electronics.
  • The core of this is integrated circuit.
  • It is fabricated and designed in an individual chips due to tiny sizes.

When does the vc-turbo engine use lower compression ratios?.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The VC-T engine (for "variable compression, turbocharged") can adjust its compression ratio between 8:1 and 14:1 on the fly, offering high-compression efficiency under light loads and the low compression needed for turbocharged power under hard acceleration.
