A gas undergoes a process in a piston–cylinder assembly during which the pressure-specific volume relation is pv1.1 = constant.

The mass of the gas is 0.4 lb and the following data are known: p1 = 160 lbf/in.2, V1 = 1 ft3, and p2 = 300 lbf/in.2 During the process, heat transfer from the gas is 2.1 Btu. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the change in specific internal energy of the gas, in Btu/lb.

Answer:

\Delta u = 53.99 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

given data:

P_1 = 160 lbf/in^2 = 23040 lbf/ft^2

P_2 = 300 lbf/in^2 = 56160 lbf/ft^2

V_1 = 1ft^3

Q = - 2.1 Btu

PV^{1.1} = constant

P_1V_1^{1.1} = P_2V_2^{1.1}

V_2 = V_1 [\frac{P_1}{P_2}]^{1.1}

       =  1 [\frac{23040}{56160}]^{\frac{1}{1.1}

       = 0.44 ft^3

work done during polytropic process

w = \frac{P_2V_2 - P_1V_1}{1-n}

   = \frac{56160 \times 0.4759 - 23040\times 1}{1 - 1.2}

   = -18442.1 ft lbf

we know 1 Btu = 778.169 ft. lbf, therefore

w = -23.6993 Btu

Q = W + m\Delta u

-2.1 = - 23.6993 + 0.4 \Delta u

\Delta u = 53.99 Btu/lbm

cup of hot chocolate has a spoon in it. How does the heat move from the hot chocolate to the metal spoon handle?
serg [7]

The heat moves from the hot chocolate to the handle of the spoon by a process called thermal conduction.

It is the transfer of heat energy from one object to another when they are in contact with eachother.

Hope this answers your question.

A closed system consisting of 2 lb of a gas undergoes a process during which the relation between pressure and volume is pVn = c
vazorg [7]

Answer:

V1=<u>2.5ft3</u>

<u>V2=1ft3</u>

n=1.51

Explanation:

PART A:

the volume of each state is obtained by multiplying the mass by the specific volume in each state

V=volume

v=especific volume

m=mass

V=mv

state 1

V1=m.v1

V1=2lb*1.25ft3/lb=<u>2.5ft3</u>

state 2

V2=m.v2

V2=2lb*0.5ft3/lb=  <u> 1ft3</u>

PART B:

since the PV ^ n is constant we can equal the equations of state 1 and state 2

P1V1^n=P2V2^n

P1/P2=(V2/V1)^n

ln(P1/P2)=n . ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(P1/P2)/ ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(15/60)/ ln (1/2.5)

n=1.51

A metallic sheet has a large number of slits, 5.0 mm wide and 20 cm apart, and is used as a diffraction grating for microwaves.
san4es73 [151]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the principle of superposition and constructive interference, that is to say everything that refers to an overlap of two or more equal frequency waves, which when interfering create a new pattern of waves of greater intensity (amplitude) whose cusp is the antinode.

Mathematically its definition can be given as:

d sin\theta =m\lambda

Where

d = Width of the slit

\theta = Angle between the beam and the source

m = Order (any integer) which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum, at this case 1 (maximum respect the wavelength)

Since the point of the theta angle for which the diffraction becomes maximum will be when it is worth one then we have to:

\lambda = d

\lambda = 20cm = 20*10^{-2}m

Applying the given relation of frequency, speed and wavelength then we will have that the frequency would be:

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Here the velocity is equal to the speed of light and the wavelength to the value previously found.

f = \frac{3*10^8}{0.2}

f = 1.5Ghz

Therefore the smallest microwave frequency for which only the central maximum occurs is 1.5Ghz
