Answer: 9.9%

Explanation: efficiency = (work output /work input) × 100

Note that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules, hence 22kcal = 22× 4184 = 92048 joules.

Work output = 9200 j and work input = 92048 j

Efficiency = (9200/92048) × 100 = 0.099 × 100 = 9.9%

Answer:

Explanation:

A pressure that causes the Hg column to rise 1 millimeter is called a torr. The term 1 mmHg used can replaced by the torr.

1 atm = 760 torr = 14.7 psi.

A.

120 mmHg

Psi:

760 mmHg = 14.7 psi

120 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 120

= 2.32 psi

Pa:

1mmHg = 133.322 Pa

120 mmHg = 120 * 133.322

= 15998.4 Pa

B.

80 mmHg

Psi:

760 mmHg = 14.7 psi

80 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 80

= 1.55 psi

Pa:

1mmHg = 133.322 Pa

80 mmHg = 80 * 133.322

= 10665.6 Pa

Answer:

change in internal energy 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in enthalapy  5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in entropy 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}

Explanation:

adiabatic constant \gamma =1.4

specific heat is given as =\frac{\gamma R}{\gamma -1}

gas constant =287 J⋅kg−1⋅K−1

Cp = \frac{1.4*287}{1.4-1} = 1004.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}

specific heat at constant volume

Cv = \frac{R}{\gamma -1} = \frac{287}{1.4-1} = 717.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}

change in internal energy = Cv(T_2 -T_1)

                            \Delta U = 717.5 (800-295)  = 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in enthalapy \Delta H = Cp(T_2 -T_1)

                                 \Delta H = 1004.5*(800-295) = 5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in entropy

\Delta S =Cp ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1}) -R*ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})

\Delta S =1004.5 ln(\frac{800}{295}) -287*ln(\frac{8.74*10^5}{1.01*10^5})

\Delta S = 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}
