Answer:

Chord ratio:

It is the ratio of thickness to the chord.It is also knows as thickness ratio.

Chord ratio measure the performance of wing when it is operating at the transonic speed.

When the speed cross the speed of sound wave then that wave creates the shock wave and these shock leads to produce drag force on the aerofoil profile.When Mach number is one then it means that if Mach increase then it will leads increase then drag force.

For methyl chloride at 100°C the second and third virial coefficients are: B = −242.5 cm 3 ·mol −1 C = 25,200 cm 6 ·mol −2 Calcu

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

a)W=12.62 kJ/mol

b)W=12.59 kJ/mol

Explanation:

At T = 100 °C the second and third virial coefficients are

B = -242.5 cm^3 mol^-1

C = 25200 cm^6 mo1^-2

Now according isothermal work of one mole methyl gas is

W=- $\int\limits^a_b {P} \, dV$

a= $v_2\\$

b= $v_1$

from virial equation

$\frac{PV}{RT}=z=1+\frac{B}{V}+\frac{C}{V^2}\\ \\P=RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2})\frac{1}{V}\\$

And

$W=-\int\limits^a_b {RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2}\frac{1}{V} } \, dV$

a= $v_2\\$

b= $v_1$

Now calculate V1 and V2 at given condition

$\frac{P1V1}{RT} = 1+\frac{B}{v_1} +\frac{C}{v_1^2}$

Substitute given values $P_1\\$ = 1 x 10^5 , T = 373.15 and given values of coefficients we get

$10^5(v_1)/8.314*373.15=1-242.5/v_1+25200/v_1^2$

Solve for V1 by iterative or alternative cubic equation solver we get

$v_1=30780 cm^3/mol$

Similarly solve for state 2 at P2 = 50 bar we get

$v_1=241.33 cm^3/mol$

Now

$W=-\int\limits^a_b {RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2}\frac{1}{V} } \, dV$

a=241.33

b=30780

After performing integration we get work done on the system is

W=12.62 kJ/mol

(b) for Z = 1 + B' P +C' P^2 = PV/RT by performing differential we get

dV=RT(-1/p^2+0+C')dP

Hence work done on the system is

$W=-\int\limits^a_b {P(RT(-1/p^2+0+C')} \, dP$

a= $v_2\\$

b= $v_1$

by substituting given limit and P = 1 bar , P2 = 50 bar and T = 373 K we get work

W=12.59 kJ/mol

The work by differ between a and b because the conversion of constant of virial coefficients are valid only for infinite series

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The settlement that is expected is 1.043 meters.

Explanation:

Since the pre-consolidation stress of the layer is equal to the effective stress hence we conclude that the soil is normally consolidated soil

The settlement due to increase in the effective stress of a normally consolidated soil mass is given by the formula

$\Delta H=\frac{H_oC_c}{1+e_o}log(\frac{\bar{\sigma_o}+\Delta \bar{\sigma }}{\bar{\sigma_o}})$

where

'H' is the initial depth of the layer

$C_c$ is the Compression index

$e_o$ is the inital void ratio

$\bar{\sigma_o}$ is the initial effective stress at the depth

$\Delta \bar{\sigma_o}$ is the change in the effective stress at the given depth

Applying the given values we get

$\Delta H=\frac{8\times 0.3}{1+0.87}log(\frac{154+28}{154})=1.04$

What does it take to launch a rocket in space?

Dafna11 [192]

To get rockets into orbit, they need much more thrust than the amount that will get them up to the required altitude. They also need sufficient thrust to allow them to travel with very high orbital speed. ... If speed is less than this, an object will fall back to the Earth
