Answer:
work=281.4KJ/kg
Power=4Kw
Explanation:
Hi!
To solve follow the steps below!
1. Find the density of the air at the entrance using the equation for ideal gases
where
P=pressure=120kPa
T=20C=293k
R= 0.287 kJ/(kg*K)= gas constant ideal for air
2.find the mass flow by finding the product between the flow rate and the density
m=(density)(flow rate)
flow rate=10L/s=0.01m^3/s
m=(1.43kg/m^3)(0.01m^3/s)=0.0143kg/s
3. Please use the equation the first law of thermodynamics that states that the energy that enters is the same as the one that must come out, we infer the following equation, note = remember that power is the product of work and mass flow
Work
w=Cp(T1-T2)
Where
Cp= specific heat for air=1.005KJ/kgK
w=work
T1=inlet temperature=20C
T2=outlet temperature=300C
w=1.005(300-20)=281.4KJ/kg
Power
W=mw
W=(0.0143)(281.4KJ/kg)=4Kw

Answer:
189.15cy
Explanation:
To understand this problem we need to understand as well the form.
It is clear that there is four wall, two short and two long.
The two long are
The two long are
The two shors are
The height and the thickness are 14ft and 0.83ft respectively.
So we only calculate the Quantity of concrete,
That in cubic yards is equal to
Hence, we need order 5% plus that represent with the quantity
