5 0

Answer is given below

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that in the reversible process, the entropy of the universe is constant, while in the unchanging process, such as the transfer of heat from a hot object to a cold object, the reflection of the universe increases.

ΔS = ΔQ ÷ T

The irreversible process increases the entropy of the universe. Since entropy is a state function, the change in entropy of the system is the same, the process is reversible or irreversible. The second law of thermodynamics can be used to determine whether a process is reversible.

for an irreversible process, ΔS is not same as reversible process, because more than 1 reversible process is required for 2 ΔS to be equal.

if the initial and final states are the same, ΔS for an irreversible process can be calculated as if it were a reversible process.

If the initial and final condition is same then ΔS can find out for irreversible process even if it were reversible process

Describe the make-up of an internal combustion engine.<br> Pls answer quickly.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The engine consists of a fixed cylinder and a moving piston. The expanding combustion gases push the piston, which in turn rotates the crankshaft. Ultimately, through a system of gears in the power-train, this motion drives the vehicle's wheels.

Ordan has _ 5 8 can of green paint and _ 3 6 can of blue paint. If the cans are the same size, does Jordan have more green paint

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Jordan has more green paints

Explanation:

Given

$Green = \frac{5}{8}$

$Blue = \frac{3}{6}$

Required

Which paint does he have more?

For better understanding, it's better to convert both measurements to decimal.

For the green paint:

$Green = \frac{5}{8}$

$Green = 0.625$

For the blue paint:

$Blue = \frac{3}{6}$

$Blue = 0.5$

By comparison:

$0.625 > 0.5$

<em>This means that Jordan has more green paints</em>

List one advantage and one disadvantage of the use of the commutator?

Mariulka [41]

Answer and Explanation:

Commutator are used in DC machine commutator is mainly used for the reversing the direction of the current .It is connected to the armature of the DC generator or motor

ADVANTAGE OF COMMUTATOR The main advantage of the commutator in DC motor is to keep keep the direction of the toque always in the same direction by changing the current direction

DISADVANTAGE OF COMMUTATOR : The main disadvantage is due to the friction between the commutator and brushes there is a friction loss.
