A piston–cylinder device contains 0.78 kg of nitrogen gas at 140 kPa and 37°C. The gas is now compressed slowly in a polytropic

process during which PV1.3 = constant. The process ends when the volume is reduced by one-half. Determine the entropy change of nitrogen during this process. The gas constant of nitrogen is R = 0.2968 kJ/kg·K. The constant volume specific heat of nitrogen at room temperature is cv = 0.743 kJ/kg·K. (Round the final answer to five decimal places.)

Answer:

The entropy change of nitrogen during this process. is - 0.32628 kJ/K.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

A piston cylinder device contains =0.78 kg of nitrogen gas

Temperature = 37°C

The  nitrogen gas constant of R = 0.2968 kJ/kg.K

At room temperature cv = 0.743 kJ/kg.K

Now,

We assume that at specific condition the nitrogen can be treated as an ideal gas

Nitrogen has a constant volume specific heat at room temperature.

Thus,

From the polytropic relation, we have the following below:

T₂/T₁ =(V₁/V₂)^ n-1 which is,

T₂ = T₁ ((V₁/V₂)^ n-1

= (310 K) (2)^1.3-1 = 381.7 K

So,

The entropy change of nitrogen is computed as follows:

ΔSN₂ = m (cv₁ avg ln T₂/T₁ + ln V₂/V₁)

= (0.78) ((0.743 kJ/kg .K) ln 381.7 K/310K + (0.2968 kJ/kg. K) ln (0.5))

= 0.57954 * 0.2080 +  (-0.2057)

= 0.12058 + (-0.2057) = -0.32628

Therefore the entropy change of nitrogen during this process. is - 0.32628 kJ/K.

Five kg of water is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at 5 bar and 240°C. The water is slowly heated at constan
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The final temperature of water is 381.39  °C.

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of water = 5 kg

Heat transfer at constant pressure Q = 2960 KJ

Initial temperature = 240 °C

We know that heat transfer at constant pressure given as follows

Q=mC_p\Delta T

We know that for water

C_p=4.187\ \frac{KJ}{kg.K}

Lets take final temperature of water is T

So

Q=mC_p\Delta T

2960=5\times 4.187(T-240)

T=381.39  °C

So the final temperature of water is 381.39  °C.

If an object has the same number of positive and negative charges, its electrical charge is
N76 [4]

When an object has the same number of positive and negative charges, its electrical charge will become neutral.

What is an electric charge?

When the matter is put in an electromagnetic field, it has an electric charge, which causes it to experience a force. A positive or negative electric charge can exist.

Now when the two equal magnitude charges with opposite natures come together they become neutral.

For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 15 h duration will raise the carbon concentration
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

135 hour

Explanation:

It is given that a carburizing heat treatment of 15 hour will raise the carbon concentration by 0.35 wt% at a point of 2 mm from the surface.

We have to find the time necessary to achieve the same concentration at a 6 mm position.

we know that \frac{x_1^2}{Dt}=constant where x is distance and t is time .As the temperature is constant so D will be also constant

So \frac{x_1^2}{t}=constant

then \frac{x_1^2}{t_1}=\frac{x_2^2}{t_2} we have given x_1=2 mm\ ,t_1=15 hour\ ,x_2=6\ mm and we have to find t_2 putting all these value in equation

\frac{2^2}{15}=\frac{6^2}{t_2}

so t_2=135\ hour
