Five kilograms of air at 427°C and 600 kPa are contained in a piston–cylinder device. The air expands adiabatically until the pr

essure is 100 kPa and produces 630 kJ of work output. Assume air has constant specific heats evaluated at 300 K.
Determine the entropy change of the air.

Answer:

The entropy change of the air is $0.240kJ/kgK$

Explanation:

$T_{1} =427+273K,T_{1} =700K\\P_{1} =600kPa\\P_{2} =100kPa$

$T_{2}$ is unknown

we can apply the following expression to find $T_{2}$

$-w_{out} =mc_{v} (T_{2} -T_{1} )$

$T_{2} =T_{1} -\frac{w_{out } }{mc_{v} }$

now substitute

$T_{2} =700K-\frac{600kJ}{5kg*0.718kJ/kgK} \\T_{2}=533K$

To find entropy change of the air we can apply the ideal gas relationship

Δ $s_{air}$ $=c_{p} ln\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1} } -Rln\frac{P_{2} }{P_{1} }$

Δ $s_{air} =$ $1.005*ln(\frac{533}{700})-0.287* in(\frac{100}{600} )$

Δ $s_{air} =0.240kJ/kgK$

About ceramics: Only can be optically opaque or semi-transparent. a) True b)-False

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer: True

Explanation: Ceramics have the property that when the band gap present between the atoms are larger than the light energy then the tend to become opaque because the light scattering is caused . They also show the property of being translucent when there are chances of the light to get a path through the surface of ceramic so they get the light at some parts e.g.porcelain .Therefore the statement given is true that ceramics can be optically opaque or semi-transparent(translucent).

The particle travels along the path defined by the parabola y=0.5x2, where x and y are in ft. If the component of velocity along

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

D=41.48 ft

$a=54.43\ ft/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that

y=0.5 x²

Vx= 2 t

We know that

$V_x=\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

At t= 0 ,x=0

$x=\int V_x.dt$

At t= 3 s

$x=\int_{0}^{3} 2t.dt$

$x=[t^2\left\right ]_0^3$

x= 9 ft

When x= 9 ft then

y= 0.5 x 9² ft

y= 40.5 ft

So distance from origin is

x= 9 ft ,y= 40.5 ft

$D=\sqrt{9^2+40.5^2} \ ft$

D=41.48 ft

$a_x=\dfrac{dV_x}{dt}$

Vx= 2 t

$a_x= 2\ ft/s^2$

At t= 3 s , x= 9 ft

y=0.5 x²

$a_y=\dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}$

y=0.5 x²

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=x\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$\dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}=\left(\dfrac{dx}{dt}\right)^2+x\dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}$

Given that

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2t$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2\times 3$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=6\ ft/s$

$a_y=\dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}=6^2+9\times 2\ ft/s^2$

$a_y=54\ ft/s^2$

$a=\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2}\ ft/s^2$

$a=\sqrt{2^2+54^2}\ ft/s^2$

$a=54.43\ ft/s^2$

The time to failure for a gasket follows the Weibull distribution with ß = 2.0 and a characteristic life of 300 days. What is th

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

64.11% for 200 days.

t=67.74 days for R=95%.

t=97.2 days for R=90%.

Explanation:

Given that

β=2

Characteristics life(scale parameter α)=300 days

We know that Reliability function for Weibull distribution is given as follows

$R(t)=e^{-\left(\dfrac{t}{\alpha}\right)^\beta}$

Given that t= 200 days

$R(200)=e^{-\left(\dfrac{200}{300}\right)^2}$

R(200)=0.6411

So the reliability at 200 days 64.11%.

When R=95 %

$0.95=e^{-\left(\dfrac{t}{300}\right)^2}$

by solving above equation t=67.74 days

When R=90 %

$0.90=e^{-\left(\dfrac{t}{300}\right)^2}$

by solving above equation t=97.2 days

Describe how the Rotary Engine works.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Rotary engine was early known by the name of internal combustion engine. It convert heat from a high pressure of combustion. The main advantage of rotary engine is that it can be operate with less number of vibration. It works on the principle of converting pressure into rotating motion. In rotary engine the expansion pressure is applied on the flank rotor.
