Air, considered an ideal gas, is contained in an insulated piston-cylinder assembly outfitted with a paddle wheel. It is initial

ly at p1 = 10 psi, T1 = 600°F, V1 = 1 ft. The paddle wheel transfers 3 Btu (by work) to the air to a final state of P2 = 5 psi, V2 = 3 ft. You may neglect potential and kinetic energy changes. Mair = 28.97 lbm/bmol. Find the mass of air in the closed chamber [lbm), the temperature at state 2 [OR], and the work done by the air to the piston (Btu).

Our data are,

State 1:

P_1= 10psi=68.95kPa\\V_1 = 1ft^3=0.02831m^3\\T_1 = 100\°F = 310.93K

State 2:

P_2 =5psi=34.474kPa\\V_2 = 3ft^3=0.0899m^3

We know as well that 3BTU=3.16kJ/K

To find the mass we apply the ideal gas formula, which is given by

P_1V_1=mRT_1

Re-arrange for m,

m= \frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}\\m= \frac{68.95*0.02831}{(0.287)310.9}\\m=0.021893kg=0.04806lbm\\

Because of the pressure, temperature and volume ratio of state 1 and 2, we have to

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

Replacing,

T_2 = \frac{P_2V_2}{P_1V_1}T_1\\T_2 =\frac{34.474*0.0844}{68.95*0.02831}*310.93\\T_2 = 464.217K=375.5\°F

For conservative energy we have, (Cv = 0.718)

W = m C_v = 0.718  \Delta T +dw\\dw = W - mv\Delta T\\dw = 3.16-(0.0218*0.718)(454.127-310.93)\\dw = 0.765kJ=0.72BTU

Please answer ASAP for brainliest
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Question #1- Scientists agree to a standard way of reporting measured quantities in which the number of reported digits reflects the precision in the measurement- more digits, more precision; less digits, less precision. You just studied 14 terms!

Question #2-  Units are important because without proper measurement and units to express them, we can never express physical laws precisely just from qualitative reasoning. Units are incredibly important to physics. Two of the most important reasons are the following: (1) they help us. to avoid making mistakes in computation, and (2) they serve as a check on computations once they are completed. In the first case, you can avoid adding 3m and 25cm and coming up with the wrong answer.

Explanation: Hope this helps please mark brainliest!
