Air in a piston–cylinder assembly, initially at 3 bar, 142 K, and a volume of 2 m3. The air undergoes a process to a state where

the pressure is 1.5 bar, during which the pressure–volume relationship is pV = constant. Assuming ideal gas behavior for the air, determine: the mass of the air, in kg and the work and heat transfer, each in KJ.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 14.72 kg

(b) 414 kJ

(c) 414 kJ

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) To get the mass of the air, the ideal gas equation will be used and is given as follows;

PV = mRT            ----------------(i)

Where;

P = pressure of the air = 3 bar = 3 x 10⁵Pa

V = volume of the air = 2m³

m = mass of air

R = specific gas constant of air = 287.05 \frac{J}{kgK}

T = temperature of the air = 142K

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

3 x 10⁵ x 2 = m x 287.05 x 142

6 x 10⁵ = m x 40761.1

600000 = 40761.1m

m = \frac{600000}{40761.1}

m = 14.72kg

Therefore, the mass of the air is 14.72 kg

(b) According to the question, the relationship between the pressure and the volume is given by

PV = k         (where k = constant)

This implies that;

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ = ... = k           -------------------(ii)

Where;

P₁ = initial pressure of air = 3 bar = 3 x 10⁵Pa

V₁ = initial volume of air = 2m³

P₂ = final pressure of air = 1.5 bar = 1.5 x 10⁵Pa

V₂ = final volume of air

<em>Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

3 x 10⁵ x 2 = 1.5 x 10⁵ x V₂

6 x 10⁵ = 1.5 x 10⁵V₂

6 = 1.5V₂

V₂ = \frac{6}{1.5}

V₂ = 4m³

Also, from equation (ii)

P₁V₁ = k               --------------(iii)

Substitute the values of P₁ and V₁ into equation (iii) as follows;

3 x 10⁵ x 2 = k

k = 6 x 10⁵ m³Pa

Recall that PV = k

This implies that;

P = \frac{k}{V}            ------------(iv)

Also, remember, in thermodynamics the work done, W, when a gas expands or compresses in volume is given by the following;

W = \int\limits^{V_2}_{V_1} {P} \, dV

<em>Substitute the value of P in equation (iv) into the above equation as follows;</em>

W = \int\limits^{V_2}_{V_1} {\frac{k}{V} } \, dV

W = k \int\limits^{V_2}_{V_1} {\frac{1}{V} } \, dV

W = k \int\limits^{V_2}_{V_1} {V^{-1} } \, dV

<em>Integrating gives;</em>

W = k ln [V]                -----------------(v)

<em>Putting the values of the integral limits V₁ and V₂ </em>into equation (v)

W = k ln [V₂ - V₁]

<em>Substitute the values of k, V₂ and V₁ into equation above as follows;</em>

W = 6 x 10⁵ ln [4 - 2]

W = 6 x 10⁵ ln [2]

W = 6 x 10⁵ (0.69)

W = 4.14 x 10⁵

W = 414 kJ

Therefore, the work done is 414 kJ

(c) The heat transfer Q, the work done, W, and the change in internal energy, ΔU, in a thermodynamic system are related by the following relation;

Q - W = ΔU                  ----------(vi)

If the values of P₂, V₂ are substituted into equation (i) to find the value of T₂, it will be found that T₁ and T₂ are the same. i.e T₁ = T₂ = 142K. Therefore, the change in internal energy, ΔU = 0.

Equation (vi) the becomes

Q - W = 0

Q = W            [Substitute the value of W = 414 kJ]

Q = 414 kJ

Therefore, the heat transfer is 414 kJ

A refrigerator operating on the Carnot cycle is used to make ice. Water freezing at 32oF is the cold reservoir. Heat is rejected
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Water freezing temp. T_L = 32 ^0 \ F

Heat rejected temp T_H = 72 ^0 \ F

Recall that:

The coefficient of performance is:

COP_{ref} = \dfrac{T_L}{T_H - T_L} \\ \\  = \dfrac{32+460}{(72 +460) -(32+460)} \\ \\ =\dfrac{492}{532 -492} \\ \\ = \dfrac{492}{40} \\ \\ COP_{ref} = 12.3

Again:

The efficiency given by COP can be represented by:

COP = \dfrac{Q_L}{W} \\ \\ W = \dfrac{Q_L}{COP} \\ \\ W = \dfrac{2000 \ lbm \times 144 \ Btu/lbm}{12.3} \\ \\ W = 23414.63 \ Btu

Finally; the power input in an hour can be determined by using the formula:

Power= \dfrac{W}{t} \\ \\  Power = \dfrac{23414.63 \ Btu}{ 1 \ hr} \\ \\  Power = \dfrac{23414.634 \times 1055.056 \ J}{1 \times 3600} \\ \\  Power  = 6.86 \ kW

In hp; since 1 kW = 1.34102 hp

6.86kW will be = (6.86 × 1.34102) hp

= 9.199 hp

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Carpenter's square

Explanation:

The most common hand tool used to measure or set angles with its application extending to setting angles of roofs and rafters. Another name of a Carpenter's square is a framing square.

Other hand tools that are used to measure angles are;

  • The combination square that allows a user to set both 90°  and 45° angles
  • A Bevel that allows users to set any angle they like.
  • A Protractor that resembles a bevel but its marks are marked in an arc.
  • An electromagnetic angle finder which gives a reading according to the measure of the arms adjusted by the user.

Question # 5
spayn [35]

The statement which best characterizes the relationship between a general contractor and a construction manager is that; A construction manager subcontracts a general contractor to perform <em>work</em>.

A construction project manager is saddled with the responsibility of overseeing the planning and delivery of construction projects.

  • In essence, they ensure that work is completed on time and within budget. Other functions include organising logistics, delegation of work and tracking of spending.

A general contractor otherwise known as the prime contractor is responsible for the day-to-day oversight of a construction site,<em> employment of labour, management of vendors and trades, and most importantly, the communication of information to all involved parties throughout the course of a building project.</em>

  • <em>Ultimately</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>relationship</em><em> </em><em>between</em><em> </em><em>a </em><em>general contractor and a construction manager is that; A construction manager subcontracts a general contractor to perform work.</em>
