A mass of air occupying a volume of 0.15m^3 at 3.5 bar and 150 °C is allowed [13] to expand isentropically to 1.05 bar. Its enth

alpy is then raised by 52kJ (note the unit) by heating at constant pressure. Assuming that all processes occur reversibly, sketch them on a p-v chart and calculate the total work done and the total heat transfer.

Answer:

Total work: -5.25 kJ

Total Heat: 52 kJ

Explanation:

V0 = 0.15

P0 = 350 kPa

t0 = 150 C = 423 K

P1 = 105 kPa (isentropical transformation)

Δh1-2 = 52 kJ (at constant pressure)

Ideal gas equation:

P * V = m * R * T

m = (R * T) / (P * V)

R is 0.287 kJ/kg for air

m = (0.287 * 423) / (350 * 0.15) = 2.25 kg

The specifiv volume is

v0 = V0/m = 0.15 / 2.25 = 0.067 m^3/kg

Now we calculate the parameters at point 1

T1/T0 = (P1/P0)^((k-1)/k)

k for air is 1.4

T1 = T0 * (P1/P0)^((k-1)/k)

T1 = 423 * (105/350)^((1.4-1)/1.4) = 300 K

The ideal gas equation:

P0 * v0 / T0 = P1 * v1 / T1

v1 = P0 * v0 * T1 / (T0 * P1)

v1 = 350 * 0.067 * 300 / (423 * 105) = 0.16 m^3/kg

V1 = m * v1 = 2.25 * 0.16 = 0.36 m^3

The work of this transformation is:

L1 = P1*V1 - P0*V0

L1 = 105*0.36 - 350*0.15 = -14.7 kJ/kg

Q1 = 0 because it is an isentropic process.

Then the second transformation. It is at constant pressure.

P2 = P1 = 105 kPa

The enthalpy is raised in 52 kJ

Cv * T1 + P1*v1 = Cv * T2 + P2*v2 + Δh

And the idal gas equation is:

P1 * v1 / T1 = P2 * v2 / T2

T2 = T1 * P2 * v2 / (P1 * v1)

Replacing:

Cv * T1 + P1*v1 + Δh = Cv * T1 * P2 * v2 / (P1 * v1) + P2*v2

Cv * T1 + P1*v1 + Δh = v2 * (Cv * T1 * P2 / (P1 * v1) + P2)

v2 = (Cv * T1 + P1*v1 + Δh) / (Cv * T1 * P2 / (P1 * v1) + P2)

The Cv of air is 0.7 kJ/kg

v2 = (0.7 * 300 + 105*0.16 + 52) / (0.7 * 300 * 105 / (105 * 0.16) + 105) = 0.2 m^3/kg

V2 = 2.25 * 0.2 = 0.45 m^3

T2 = 300 * 105 * 0.2 / (105 * 0.16) = 375 K

The heat exchanged is Q = Δh = 52 kJ

The work is:

L2 = P2*V2 - P1*V1

L2 = 105 * 0.45 - 105 * 0.36 = 9.45 kJ

The total work is

L = L1 + L2

L = -14.7 + 9.45 = -5.25 kJ

A heat engine receives heat from a heat source at 1453 C and has a thermal efficiency of 43 percent. The heat engine does maximu
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

a) 1253 kJ

b) 714 kJ

c) 946 C

Explanation:

The thermal efficiency is given by this equation

η = L/Q1

Where

η: thermal efficiency

L: useful work

Q1: heat taken from the heat source

Rearranging:

Q1 = L/η

Replacing

Q1 = 539 / 0.43 = 1253 kJ

The first law of thermodynamics states that:

Q = L + ΔU

For a machine working in cycles ΔU is zero between homologous parts of the cycle.

Also we must remember that we count heat entering the system as positiv and heat leaving as negative.

We split the heat on the part that enters and the part that leaves.

Q1 + Q2 = L + 0

Q2 = L - Q1

Q2 = 539 - 1253 = -714 kJ

TO calculate a temperature for the heat sink we must consider this cycle as a Carnot cycle. Then we can use the thermal efficiency equation for the Carnot cycle, this one uses temperatures:

η = 1 - T2/T1

T2/T1 = 1 - η

T2 = (1 - η) * T1

The temperatures must be given in absolute scale (1453 C = 1180 K)

T2 = (1 - 0.43) * 1180 = 673 K

673 K = 946 C

A large particle composite consisting of tungsten particles within a copper matrix is to be prepared. If the volume fractions of
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Upper bounds 22.07 GPa

Lower bounds 17.59 GPa

Explanation:

Calculation to estimate the upper and lower bounds of the modulus of this composite.

First step is to calculate the maximum modulus for the combined material using this formula

Modulus of Elasticity for mixture

E= EcuVcu+EwVw

Let pug in the formula

E =( 110 x 0.40)+ (407 x 0.60)

E=44+244.2 GPa

E=288.2GPa

Second step is to calculate the combined specific gravity using this formula

p= pcuVcu+pwTw

Let plug in the formula

p = (19.3 x 0.40) + (8.9 x 0.60)

p=7.72+5.34

p=13.06

Now let calculate the UPPER BOUNDS and the LOWER BOUNDS of the Specific stiffness

UPPER BOUNDS

Using this formula

Upper bounds=E/p

Let plug in the formula

Upper bounds=288.2/13.06

Upper bounds=22.07 GPa

LOWER BOUNDS

Using this formula

Lower bounds=EcuVcu/pcu+EwVw/pw

Let plug in the formula

Lower bounds =( 110 x 0.40)/8.9+ (407 x 0.60)/19.3

Lower bounds=(44/8.9)+(244.2/19.3)

Lower bounds=4.94+12.65

Lower bounds=17.59 GPa

Therefore the Estimated upper and lower bounds of the modulus of this composite will be:

Upper bounds 22.07 GPa

Lower bounds 17.59 GPa

Ignoring any losses, estimate how much energy (in units of Btu) is required to raise the temperature of water in a 90-gallon hot
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Q=36444.11 Btu

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature = 60° F

Final temperature = 110° F

Specific heat of water = 0.999 Btu/lbm.R

Volume of water = 90 gallon

Mass = Volume x density

1\ gallon = 0.13ft^3

Mass ,m= 90 x 0.13 x 62.36 lbm

m=729.62 lbm

We know that sensible heat given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

Now by putting the values

Q= 729.62 x 0.999 x (110-60) Btu

Q=36444.11 Btu

When CO2 rises, temperature rises. Why do you think this is?
icang [17]

Answer:

The warming causes the oceans to release CO2. The CO2 amplifies the warming and mixes through the atmosphere, spreading warming throughout the planet. So CO2 causes warming AND rising temperature causes CO2 rise. Overall, about 90% of the global warming occurs after the CO2 increase.
