Answer:

Explanation:

A sonic boom is a loud sound kind of like an explosion. It's caused by shock waves created by any object that travels through the air faster than the speed of sound. Sonic booms create huge amounts of sound energy. When an object moves through the air, it makes pressure waves in front of and behind it.

A parallel plates capacitor is filled with a dielectric of relative permittivity ε = 12 and a conductivity σ = 10^-10 S/m. The c

Answer:

t = 1.06 sec

Explanation:

Once disconnected from the battery, the capacitor discharges through the internal resistance of the dielectric, which can be expressed as follows:

R = (1/σ)*d/A, where d is is the separation between plates, and A is the area of one of the plates.

The capacitance C , for a parallel plates capacitor filled with a dielectric of a relative permittivity ε, can be expressed in this way:

C = ε₀*ε*A/d = 8.85*10⁻¹² *12*A/d

The voltage in the capacitor (which is proportional to the residual charge as it discharges through the resistance of the dielectric) follows an exponential decay, as follows:

V = V₀*e(-t/RC)

The product RC (which is called the time constant of the circuit) can be calculated as follows:

R*C = (1/10⁻¹⁰)*d/A*8.85*10⁻¹² *12*A/d

Simplifying common terms, we finally have:

R*C = 8.85*10⁻¹² *12 / (1/10⁻¹⁰) sec = 1.06 sec

If we want to know the time at which the voltage will decay to 3.67 V, we can write the following expression:

V= V₀*e(-t/RC) ⇒ e(-t/RC) = 3.67/10 ⇒ -t/RC = ln(3.67/10)= -1

⇒ t = RC = 1.06 sec.

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.

An insulated piston-cylinder device contains 0.15 of saturated refrigerant-134a vapor at 0.8 MPa pressure. The refrigerant is no

Stells [14]

Answer:

Assumption:

1. The kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible

2. The cylinder is well insulated and thus heat transfer is negligible.

3. The thermal energy stored in the cylinder itself is negligible.

4. The process is stated to be reversible

Analysis:

a. This is reversible adiabatic(i.e isentropic) process and thus $s_{1} =s_{2}$

From the refrigerant table A11-A13

$P_{1} =0.8MPa$ $\left \{ {{ {{v_{1}=v_{g} @0.8MPa =0.025645 m^{3/}/kg } } \atop { {{u_{1}=u_{g} @0.8MPa =246.82 kJ/kg } - also {{s_{1}=s_{g} @0.8MPa =0.91853 kJ/kgK } } \right.$

sat vapor

m= $\frac{V}{v_{1} } =\frac{0.15}{0.025645} =5.8491 kg\\and \\\\P_{2} =0.2MPa \left \{ {{x_{2} =\frac{s_{2} -s_{f} }{s_{fg }}=\frac{0.91853-0.15449}{0.78339} = 0.9753 \atop {u_{2} =u_{f} +x_{2} }(u_{fg}) = 38.26+0.9753(186.25)= 38.26+181.65 =219.9kJ/kg \right. \\s_{1} = s_{2}$
