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

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

When a potential difference of 10 V is placed across a certain solid cylindrical resistor, the current through it is 2 A. If the
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

New Resistance = 0.5556 ohm

Explanation:

Resistance = resistivity * length /area

Here since resistivity and length are constant, we only need to see how the resistance increases or decreases with change in area.

New Area = pi * (3*D)^2 / 4

Old Area = pi * D^2 / 4

The ratio of new area / old area is :

\frac{New Area}{Old Area} = 9

Since area increases 9 times, and it is inversely proportional to resistance:

Resistance decreases by 9 times.

So, old resistance = Voltage / Current = 10 / 2 = 5 ohm

New Resistance = 5 / 9 = 0.5556 ohm    (decreases by 9 times)

If both of these balls are traveling down a bowling lane at the SAME speed, which one would would have more kinetic energy?
Mariana [72]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Ball A has more kinetic energy</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we know that Kinetic energy is given by

K. E = 1/2 mv²

Since K E is dependent upon both mass and velocity so increasing mass will produce more kinetic energy if the speed remains constant

As the mass of ball A is greater than ball B so we can say that the kinetic energy of ball is more than ball B

Which type of disease cannot be spread from one person to another
aniked [119]

I believe that would be D.

Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain, or stroke. Which it has nothing to do with being infectious.

What is oxygen an example of? a mixture, an element, a compound, or a solution
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer: element

Explanation:

Couldn't be a compound because contains same type of atoms. Can't be a mixture either because not physically mixed or anything. Isn't a solution ofc because oxygen is a gas.
