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 tin can collapses if all air inside it is taken out why
Veseljchak [2.6K]

That only happens when the tin can is IN air.

In the familiar, comfy part of Earth's atmosphere where we live, the normal pressure of air is around 14.6 pounds on every square inch of everything. That's a big part of the reason why we're built with bodies that generate that same amount of pressure on the INSIDE pressing OUT. That way, we always have the same pressure pushing in both directions, so we know that we won't get crushed or blow up like balloons.

But we have to be careful with our bodies or other things when they're in places where the atmospheric pressure on the outside is NOT normal.

-- When a deep-sea diver goes hundreds of feet down in the ocean, and the pressure of the water is much GREATER than normal air.

-- When an astronaut has to go outside ... where there's NO air ... and fix something on the International Space Station.

When the pressure on the outside becomes very unusual, we have to wear special suits to protect our bodies from the unusual conditions.

The tin can in the story is a lot like our bodies. As long as it has air inside and air outside, the pressure is the same in both directions, so there's no particular force trying to deform the can. But ...

-- If you seal the can with the air inside it, take the can into a vacuum chamber, and pump the air out of the vacuum chamber, then the can only has pressure inside. It'll expand, and eventually spring a little hole in the metal, and all the air inside will blow out.

-- If you take all the air OUT of the can (so the can is REALLY 'empty'), then the pressure on it is all from the outside. In that situation, the can simply collapses, because there's nothing inside to provide pressure in the outward direction.

One more little thing to think about:

When you want some toothpaste to come drizzling out of the tube onto your brush, what do you do ? Do you perhaps squeeze the tube, and increase the pressure on the outside ?

9. Does a blackbody radiator emit light waves? Explain.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

"A blackbody is an object that absorbs all of the radiation that it receives(that is,it does not reflect any light,nor does it allow any light to pass through it and out the other side).The energy that the blackbody absorbs heats it up,and then it will emit its own radiation."

If a positively charged ion is more concentrated outside the cell, the forces required to balance the chemical gradient would be
galben [10]

Answer: If a positively charged ion is more concentrated outside the cell, the forces required to balance the chemical gradient would be directed OUTWARD. Thus, the equilibrium potential for this ion would be POSITIVELY charged. The correct answer is OUTWARD: POSITIVELY.

Explanation: Usually across a cell membrane there is a force that acts on it which is as a result of unequal distribution of charges. This force is known as electrochemical driving force. It is determined by the difference between the membrane potential ( that is, the electrical potential difference across the cell membrane) and the ion equilibrium potential. The membrane potential of a cell helps in signal transmission between different parts of the cell and results when there is unequal distribution across the cell.

Therefore If a positively charged ion is more concentrated outside the cell, the forces required to balance the chemical gradient would be directed outward.Thus, the equilibrium potential for this ion would be positively charged.
