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

A sound wave enters a new medium where sound travels faster. How does this affect the frequency and wavelength of the sound?
iren [92.7K]
The frequency doesn't change. If the wavespeed increases, then the wavelength must also increase ... It's just the distance the wave travels during each complete wiggle.

Electrons are added into the outermost what in groups 1 &amp; 2
aivan3 [116]

S orbital.

Group 1 elements have a general configuration ns^{1}, where n represents the highest occupied Principal Energy Level. For example, Lithium has the valence configuration 2s^{1} whereas Cesium has 6s^{1}. Both of them belong to Group 1 of Periodic Table.

Group 2 elements have a general configuration of ns^{2}. For example, Magnesium has 3s^{2} as its outer shell configuration while Strontium has the same as 5s^{2}.

We see that in both the cases, the outermost S orbital is being filled.
