Which feature of the sun appears in cycles of about 11 years?

1 answer:

8 0

The Sun's magnetic field goes through a cycle, called the solar cycle. Every 11 years or so, the Sun's magnetic field completely flips. This means that the Sun's north and south poles switch places. Then it takes about another 11 years for the Sun's north and south poles to flip back again.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

$a.T_3=1723.8kPa\\b.n=0.563\\c.MEP=674.95kPa$

Explanation:

a. Internal energy and the relative specific volume at $s_1$ are determined from A-17: $u_1=214.07kJ/kg, \ \alpha_r_1=621.2$ .

The relative specific volume at $s_2$ is calculated from the compression ratio:

$\alpha_r_2=\frac{\alpha_r_1}{r}\\=\frac{621.2}{16}\\=38.825$

#from this, the temperature and enthalpy at state 2, $s_2$ can be determined using interpolations $T_2=862K$ and $h_2=890.9kJ/kg$ . The specific volume at $s_1$ can then be determined as:

$\alpha_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}\\\\=\frac{0.287\times 300}{95} m^3/kg\\0.906316m^3/kg$

Specific volume, $s_2$ :

$\alpha_2=\frac{\alpha_1}{r}\\=\frac{0.906316}{16}m^3/kg\\=0.05664m^3/kg$

The pressures at $s_2 \ and\ s_3$ is:

$P_2=P_3=\frac{RT_2}{\alpha_2}\\\\=\frac{0.287\times862}{0.05664}\\=4367.06kPa$

.The thermal efficiency=> maximum temperature at $s_3$ can be obtained from the expansion work at constant pressure during $s_2-s_3$

$\bigtriangleup \omega_2_-_3=P(\alpha_3-\alpha_2)\\R(T_3-T_2)=P\alpha(r_c-1)\\T_3=T_2+\frac{P\alpha_2}{R}(r_c-1)\\\\=(862+\frac{4367\times 0.05664}{0.287}(2-1))K\\=1723.84K$

b.Relative SV and enthalpy at $s_3$ are obtained for the given temperature with interpolation with data from A-17 : $a_r_3=4.553 \ and\ h_3=1909.62kJ/kg$

Relative SV at $s_4$ is

$a_r_4=\frac{r}{r_c}\alpha _r_3$

= $=\frac{16}{2}\times4.533\\=36.424$

Thermal efficiency occurs when the heat loss is equal to the internal energy decrease and heat gain equal to enthalpy increase;

$n=1-\frac{q_o}{q_i}\\=1-\frac{u_4-u_1}{h_3-h_2}\\=1-\frac{65903-214.07}{1909.62-890.9}\\=0.563$

Hence, the thermal efficiency is 0.563

c. The mean relative pressure is calculated from its standard definition:

$MEP=\frac{\omega}{\alpa_1-\alpa_2}\\=\frac{q_i-q_o}{\alpha_1(1-1/r)}\\=\frac{1909.62-890.9-(65903-214.7)}{0.90632(1-1/16)}\\=674.95kPa$

Hence, the mean effective relative pressure is 674.95kPa

What type of energy results from the burning of wood or gasoline?

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Chemical energy

Explanation:

Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of chemical energy. Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy when people burn wood in a fireplace or burn gasoline in a car's engine.
