Consider a cylinder of a gasoline engine at the beginning of the compression cycle, during which a fuel/air mixture (for our pur

poses mostly composed of nitrogen and oxygen, i.e. an ideal gas of diatomic molecules) at 300 K and 1 bar is compressed down to one-tenth volume (compression ratio of 10:1). Assume that the compression is rapid so no heat exchange occurs with the environment. Calculate the pressure and the temperature of the compressed gas. In a diesel engine the compression ratios are typically much higher; redo the same calculation with the compression ratio of 20:1.

Answer:

(i) Final pressure and temperature are 25.119 bar and 753.566 K, (ii) Final pressure and temperature are 66.289 bar and 994.336 K.

Explanation:

This system experiments an adiabatic compression, as such compression happens with no heat interaction between the piston-cylinder device and surroundings. This is a particular case of polytropic process, in which there is no entropy generation according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

The compression process is represented by the following formulas:

\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}} = \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right) ^{\gamma} (Eq. 1)

\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)^{\gamma - 1} (Eq. 2)

Where:

p_{1}, p_{2} - Initial and final pressures, measured in bar.

T_{1}, T_{2} - Initial and final temperatures, measured in Kelvins.

V_{1}, V_{2} - Initial and final volumes, measured in cubic meters.

\gamma - Specific heat ratio of air, dimensionless.

From Theory of Diesel and Otto Cycles we know that compression ratio is defined as:

r_{c} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} (Eq. 3)

And (Eqs. 1, 2) can be rewritten as follows:

\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}} = r_{c}^{\gamma} (Eq. 1b)

\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}  = r_{c}^{\gamma - 1} (Eq. 2b)

Then, we clear final pressure and pressure in each expression and calculate them for each case:

p_{2} = p_{1}\cdot r_{c}^{\gamma}

T_{2} = T_{1}\cdot r_{c}^{\gamma-1}

(i) r_{c} = 10, p_{1} = 1\,bar, T_{1} = 300\,K, \gamma = 1.4

p_{2} = (1\,bar)\cdot 10^{1.4}

p_{2} = 25.119\,bar

T_{2} = (300\,K)\cdot 10^{0.4}

T_{2} = 753.566\,K

Final pressure and temperature are 25.119 bar and 753.566 K.

(ii) r_{c} = 20, p_{1} = 1\,bar, T_{1} = 300\,K, \gamma = 1.4

p_{2} = (1\,bar)\cdot 20^{1.4}

p_{2} = 66.289\,bar

T_{2} = (300\,K)\cdot 20^{0.4}

T_{2} = 994.336\,K

Final pressure and temperature are 66.289 bar and 994.336 K.

Classify each process by its individual effect on the entropy of the universe, s. hydrogen peroxide slowly decomposing into wate
Jobisdone [24]
Hydrogen Peroxide slowly decomposing into water and oxygen increases the entropy of the universe. Any reaction of a system always increases the degree of the orderliness of the universe. Decomposition is one of the best examples of increasing the entropy. This is when substance is broken down further to elements or other compounds.

Rank these compounds by highest boiling point to lowest boiling point? Pentane, neopentane, isopentane
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
<span>Pentane has a boiling point of 36.1 C, while isopentane boils at 27.7C. Neopentane has the lowest boiling point at 9.5 C. Therefore from highest to lowest boiling points, it is pentane, isopentane, and neopentane.</span>

What type of energy moves from warmer to cooler?
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Convection occurs when warmer areas of a liquid or gas rise to cooler areas in the liquid or gas.
