Answer:

58.44 g/mol The Molarity of this concentration is 0.154 molar

Explanation:

the molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol,

0.9 % is the same thing as 0.9g of NaCl , so this means that 100 ml's of physiological saline contains 0.9 g of NaCl. One liter of physiological saline must contain 9 g of NaCl. We can determine the molarity of a physiological saline solution by dividing 9 g by 58 g... since we have 9 g of NaCl in a liter of physiological saline, but we have 58 grams of NaCl in a mole of NaCl. When we divide 9 g by 58 g, we find that physiological saline contains 0.154 moles of NaCl per liter. That means that physiological saline (0.9% NaCl) has a molarity of 0.154 molar. We can either express this as 0.154 M or 154 millimolar (154 mM).

What is aviation? What is the difference between aviation and flight?

-Dominant- [34]

Aviation refers to flying using an aircraft, like an aeroplane. It also includes the activities and industries related to flight, such as air traffic control. The biggest of the many uses of aviation are in air travel and military aircraft . The main difference between aeronautics and aviation is their focus. Aeronautics involves the study of the science, design, and manufacture of flying vehicles while aviation involves flying or operating an aircraft and various activities surrounding mechanical flight and the aircraft industry

A gasoline engine has a piston/cylinder with 0.1 kg air at 4 MPa, 1527◦C after combustion, and this is expanded in a polytropic

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The expansion work is 71.24 kJ and heat transfer is -16.89 kJ

Explanation:

From ideal gas law,

Initial volume (V1) = nRT/P

n is the number of moles of air in the cylinder = mass/MW = 0.1/29 = 0.00345 kgmol

R is gas constant = 8314.34 J/kgmol.K

T is initial temperature = 1527 °C = 1527+273 = 1800 K

P is initial pressure = 4 MPa = 4×10^6 Pa

V1 = 0.00345×8314.34×1800/(4×10^6) = 0.013 m^3

V2 = 10×V1 = 10×0.013 = 0.13 m^3

The process is a polytropic expansion process

polytropic exponent (n) = 1.5

P2 = P1(V1/V2)^n = 4×10^6(0.013/0.13)^1.5 = 1.26×10^5 Pa

Expansion work = (P1V1 - P2V2) ÷ (n - 1) = (4×10^6 × 0.013 - 1.26×10^5 × 0.13) ÷ (1.5 - 1) = 35620 ÷ 0.5 = 71240 J = 71240/1000 = 71.24 kJ

Heat transfer = change in internal energy + expansion work

change in internal energy (∆U) = Cv(T2 - T1)

T2 = PV/nR = 1.26×10^5 × 0.13/0.00345×8314.34 = 571 K

Cv = 20.785 kJ/kgmol.K

∆U = 20.785(571 - 1800) = -25544.765 kJ/kgmol × 0.00345 kgmol = -88.13 kJ

Heat transfer = -88.13 + 71.24 = -16.89 kJ

The inlet and exhaust flow processes are not included in the analysis of the Otto cycle. How do these processes affect the Otto

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Suction and exhaust processes do not affect the performance of Otto cycle.

Explanation:

Step1

Inlet and exhaust flow processes are not including in the Otto cycle because the effect and nature of both the process are same in opposite direction.

Step2

Inlet process or the suction process is the process of suction of working fluid inside the cylinder. The suction process is the constant pressure process. The exhaust process is the process of exhaust out at constant pressure.

Step3

The suction and exhaust process have same work and heat in opposite direction. So, net effect of suction and exhaust processes cancels out. The suction and exhaust processes are shown below in P-V diagram of Otto cycle:

Process 0-1 is suction process and process 1-0 is exhaust process.

What is the term RF exiciter?

Sati [7]

The exciter provides fully coherent receiver local oscillator signals at radar frequency band as well as requisite, auxiliary high frequency clock signals. The exciter function is divided into an internal frequency synthesizer and an upconverter.
