A diesel engine does not use spark plugs to ignite the fuel and air in the cylinders. Instead, the temperature required to ignit

e the fuel occurs because the pistons compress the air in the cylinders. Suppose that air at an initial temperature of 18° C is compressed adiabatically to a temperature of 733° C. Assume the air to be an ideal gas for which
γ = 7/5
Find the compression ratio, which is the ratio of the initial volume to the final volume.

Answer:

Compression ratio = 24.42

Explanation:

From Thermodynamic,

Adiabatic Equation ⇒ TV^{γ-1} = Constant.

⇒T₁V₁^{γ-1} = T₂V₂^{γ-1} ..................(1)

Where T₁= initial Temperature, V₁ = Initial Volume, T₂ = final Temperature, V₂ = Final Volume.

Given: T₁= 18°C we convert to Kelvin(K) by adding 273.

∴ T₁= 18°C + 273 = 291K

T₂ = 733° C also,we convert to Kelvin(K) by adding 273

∴ T₂ = 733° C +273 =1046K

γ = 7/5

∴ Rearranging equation(1), we have

(T₁/T₂) = (V₂/V₁)^{γ-1}................(2)

also rearranging equation(2) we have

(V₁/V₂)^{γ-1} = (T₂/T₁).

Where (V₁/V₂) = Compression ratio.

∴ (V₁/V₂)^{(7/5)-1} =( 1046/291)

simplifying the index in the equation

I.e (7/5)-1 = (7-5 )/5 = 2/5.

(V₁/V₂)^2/5 =(1046/291)^2/5

Multiplying the power on both side of the equation by 5/2.

∴(V₁/V₂)^(2/5)×(5/2) = (1046/291)^(5/2)

⇒ V₁/V₂= (1046/291)^2.5=( 3.59)^2.5

V₁/V₂ = 24.42.

∴ Compression ratio = 24.42

What are some indicators of energy transformations?

Annette [7]

Explanation:

Contact, vision, sound, flavor, and smell are all markers of energy transformations. The most basic example would be when we notice something has begun to pass through vision. Whenever an entity accelerates or slows down, energy is constantly transformed.

The chain of length L and mass per unit length rho is released from rest on the smooth horizontal surface with a negligibly smal

devlian [24]

Answer:

Part a)

$a = \frac{x}{L} g$

Part b)

$T = \rho x g(1 - \frac{x}{L})$

Part c)

$v = \sqrt{gL}$

Explanation:

Part a)

Net pulling force on the chain is due to weight of the part of the chain which is over hanging

So we know that mass of overhanging part of chain is given as

$m = \rho x$

now net pulling force on the chain is given as

$F = \rho x g$

now acceleration is given as

$F = Ma$

$\rho x g = \rho L a$

$a = \frac{x}{L} g$

Part b)

Tension force in the part of the chain is given as

$mg - T = ma$

$\rho x g - T = \rho x a$

$\rho x(g - a) = T$

$\rho x (g - \frac{x}{L} g) = T$

$T = \rho x g(1 - \frac{x}{L})$

Part c)

velocity of the last link of the chain is given as

$a = \frac{x}{L} g$

$v\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{x}{L} g$

now integrate both sides

$\int v dv = \frac{g}{L} \int x dx$

$\frac{v^2}{2} = \frac{gL}{2}$

$v = \sqrt{gL}$

What does direction of force mean?

Gelneren [198K]

The direction of an arrow shows the direction of the force, and the length of the arrow indicates the amount, or size, of the force.

Solid volumes can always be determined by the displacement method.<br><br> True<br> False

AveGali [126]

True, because the volume of water displaced by a completely submerged object would be equal to the volume of that object.
