Consider a well-insulated rigid container with two chambers separated by a membrane. The total volume is 5.0 cubic meters. The f

irst chamber contains water as a saturated liquid at 300 oC. The second chamber contains a vacuum. The membrane is subsequently pierced and the final pressure is 50 kPa. How much entropy was generated by the steam through this sudden expansion

Answer:

The Entropy generated by the steam = 2.821 kJ/K

Explanation:

Total volume of container = 5m³

Heat transfer does not exist between system and surrounding, dQ = 0

At the first chamber, temperature of water at saturated liquid is 300°C

From the steam table:

Specific enthalpy of saturated liquid at 300°C , h_{f} = 1344.8 kJ/kg

Specific internal energy of saturated liquid at 300°C, U_{f1} =  1332.7 kJ/kg

For closed system, the first law of thermodynamics state that:

dQ = dw + dU..................(1)

work done for free expansion, dw =0

0 = 0 + dU

dU = 0 , i.e. U₁ = U₂

At the second chamber,

The final pressure, P₂ = 50 kPa

From the steam table, at P₂ = 50 kPa,  U_{f2} = 340.49 kJ/kg

(U_{fg} )_{2} =  2142.7 kJ/kg

Let the dryness fraction at the second chamber = x

U_{2} = U_{f2} + U_{fg2}

U_{2} = 340.49 + x2140.7Since U₁ = U₂

1332.7 = 340.49 + x2140.7

Dryness fraction, x = 0.463

From steam table, the specific volume is, u_{f2} = 0.00103 m^{3} /kg\\

u_{2} = u_{f2} + xu_{fg2}

u_{2} = 0.00103 + 0.463(3.2393)\\u_{2} = 1.5 m^{3} /kg\\

u_{2} = \frac{v_{2} }{m_{2} }

V₂ = 5 m³

1.5 = 5/m₂

m₂ = 3.33 kg

At 300°C S_{1} = S_{f} = 3.2548 kJ/kg-k\\

S_{2} = S_{f2} + xS_{fg2}

From the steam table,

S_{f2} = 1.0912 kJ/kg-k\\S_{fg2} = 6.5019 kJ/kg-k\\S_{2} = 1.0912 + 0.463(6.5019)\\S_{2} = 4.102 kJ/kg-k

Therefore the entropy generated will be :

Entropy = mass* (S₂ - S₁)

Entropy = 3.33* (4.102 - 3.2548)

Entropy = 2.821 kJ/K

Answer:

The Entropy generated = 2.821 kJ/K

Explanation:

Total volume of container = 5m³

Heat transfer between system and surrounding= 0. dQ = 0

1st chamber, temperature of water at saturated liquid is 300°C

From the steam table:

Specific enthalpy of saturated liquid at 300°C is given as h_{f} = 1344.8 kJ/kg

Specific internal energy of saturated liquid at 300°C is given as U_{f1} = 1332.7 kJ/kg

the first law of thermodynamics state that (for a closed system) :

dQ = dw + dU..................(1)

work done for free expansion=

dw =00 = 0 + dU

dU = 0 .

that is, U₁ = U₂

At the second chamber,

The final pressure P₂ is given as = 50 kPa

From the steam table, at P₂ = 50 kPa, U_{f2} = 340.49 kJ/kg

(U_{fg} )_{2} = 2142.7 kJ/kg

Let the dryness fraction at the second chamber = x

U_{2} = U_{f2} + U_{fg2}

U_{2} = 340.49 + x2140.7

Since U₁ = U₂

1332.7 = 340.49 + x2140.7

Dryness fraction; x = 0.463

From the steam table, the specific volume is:

u_{f2} = 0.00103 m^{3} /kg\\

u_{2} = u_{f2} + xu_{fg2}

u_{2} = 0.00103 + 0.463(3.2393)

u_{2} = 1.5 m^{3} /kg

u_{2} = v2/ m2

V₂ = 5 m³

1.5 = 5/m₂

m₂ = 3.33 kg

At 300°C S_{1} = S_{f} = 3.2548kJ/kg-k

S_{2} = S_{f2} + xS_{fg2}

From the steam table,

S_{f2} = 1.0912 kJ/kg-k\\S_{fg2} = 6.5019 kJ/kg-k\\S_{2} = 1.0912 + 0.463(6.5019)\\S_{2} = 4.102 kJ/kg-k

Therefore the entropy generated will be :

Entropy = mass* (S₂ - S₁)

Entropy = 3.33* (4.102 - 3.2548)

Entropy = 2.821 kJ/K

According to quantum physics, measuring velocity of a tiny particle with an electromagnet
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option A.

Explanation:

In quantum physics <u>there is a law to relate the position and the momentum of the particle</u>, it says that if we know with precision where is a quantum particle, we can not know the momentum of this particle, in other words, the velocity of the particle. So, when we measure the velocity of the particle we find the correct value of the particle, but we can not determine with accuracy where is the particle. This law is known as the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and, its expressed as follows:    

\Delta x \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi}

<em>where Δx: is the position's uncertainty, Δp: is the momentum's uncertainty and h: is the Planck constant.</em>  

Therefore, the correct answer is A: measuring the velocity of a tiny particle with an electromagnet has no effect on the velocity of the particle. It only affects the determination of the particle's position.      

I hope it helps you!

how did we discover how to brake the sound barior and why did we not go as fast as the speed of light
quester [9]

The problem of the "sound barrier" has to do with moving through
air, and the things the air does when you try to push it out of the
way faster than the speed of sound.  Moving through air faster
than sound was an engineering and technological problem, not
a scientific one.

Concerning light, that's about 874 thousand times faster.

A pulley system has an efficiency of 74.2%. If you perform 200 J of work, how
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

If a pulley system has an efficiency of 74.2%, then only that fraction of the work performed will be useful. 74.2%=0.742. 0.742*200 is about 148J. Hope this helps!
