An insulated piston-cylinder device contains 0.15 of saturated refrigerant-134a vapor at 0.8 MPa pressure. The refrigerant is no

w allowed to expand in a reversible manner until the pressure drops to 0.2 MPa. Determine the change in the exergy of the refrigerant during this process and the reversible work. Assume the surroundings to be at and 100 kPa.

Answer:

Assumption:

1. The kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible

2. The cylinder is well insulated and thus heat transfer is negligible.

3. The thermal energy stored in the cylinder itself is negligible.

4. The process is stated to be reversible

Analysis:

a. This is reversible adiabatic(i.e isentropic) process and thus s_{1} =s_{2}

From the refrigerant table A11-A13

P_{1} =0.8MPa   \left \{ {{ {{v_{1}=v_{g}  @0.8MPa =0.025645 m^{3/}/kg } } \atop { {{u_{1}=u_{g}  @0.8MPa =246.82 kJ/kg } -   also  {{s_{1}=s_{g}  @0.8MPa =0.91853 kJ/kgK } } \right.

sat vapor

m=\frac{V}{v_{1} } =\frac{0.15}{0.025645} =5.8491 kg\\and \\\\P_{2} =0.2MPa  \left \{ {{x_{2} =\frac{s_{2} -s_{f} }{s_{fg }}=\frac{0.91853-0.15449}{0.78339}   = 0.9753 \atop {u_{2} =u_{f} +x_{2} }(u_{fg}) =  38.26+0.9753(186.25)= 38.26+181.65 =219.9kJ/kg \right. \\s_{1} = s_{2}

T_{2} =T_{sat @ 0.2MPa} = -10.09^{o}  C

b.) We take the content of the cylinder as the sysytem.

This is a closed system since no mass leaves or enters.

Hence, the energy balance for adiabatic closed system can be expressed as:

E_{in} - E_{out}  =ΔE

w_{b, out}  =ΔU

w_{b, out} =m([tex]u_{1} -u_{2)

w_{b, out}  = workdone during the isentropic process

=5.8491(246.82-219.9)

=5.8491(26.91)

=157.3993

=157.4kJ

One kilogram of air, initially at 5 bar, 350 K, and 3 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2), initially at 2 bar, 450 K, are confined to opp
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Energy alance of 2 closed systems: Heat from CO2 equals the heat that is added to air in

m_{a} c_{v,a}(T_{eq} -T_{a,i)} =m_{co2} c_{v,co2} (T_{co2,i} -T_{eq)}

1x0.723x(T_{eq} -350)=3x0.780x(450-T_{eq} ) ⇒T_{eq} = 426.4 °K

The initail volumes of the gases can be determined by the ideal gas equation of state,

V_{a,i}  = \frac{mRT_{a,i} }{P_{a,i} }=  \frac{1x (8.314 28.97 kJ kg • °K)x 350°K}{5 bar x 100KPa bar} = 0.201m^{3}

The equilibrium pressure of the gases can also be obtained by the ideal gas equation

P_{eq=\frac{(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq})+(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq} ) }{(V_{a,eq}+V_{CO2,eq)} } =\frac{(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq})+(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq} ) }{(V_{a,i}+V_{CO2,i)} }

P_{eq}= 1x(8.314 28.97)x426.4+3x(8.314 44)x426.4

                             (0.201+1.275)

= 246.67 KPa = 2.47 bar

satela [25.4K]

Answer:A. No one has ever beat Nancy.

Explanation:

The dormain of discourse in a simple language is the set of entities upon which our discussions are based when discussing about something.

The dormain of discourse is also known simply as universe, can also be said to be a set of entities o

upon which certain variables of interest in some formal treatment may range.

The dormain of discourse is generally attributed to Augustus De Morgan, it was also extensively used by George Boole in his Laws of Thought.

THE LOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE THE QUESTION IS THAT NO ONE HAS EVER BEAT NANCY.

You are driving on a roadway with multiple lanes of travel in the same direction, and are approaching an emergency vehicle parke
solmaris [256]

Answer: a. Leave the lane closest to the emergency as soon as it is safe to do so, or slow down to a speed of 20 MPH below the posted speed limit.

Explanation:

Giving a way to the law enforcement vehicle and a medical emergency vehicle is necessary. If one approaches an emergency vehicle parked along the roadway one should change the lane as the vehicle may not move and the driver may also waste his or her time also one should also slow down his or her speed while approaching the vehicle as most of the emergency vehicle are in rush to reach the hospital so the driver should maintain some distance with the medical emergency vehicle.
