Two containers (A and B) are in thermal contact with an environment at temperature T = 280 K. The two containers are connected b

y a tube that contains an ideal turbine (a mechanical device) and a valve. Initially, the valve is closed. Container A (volume VA = 2 m3) is filled with n = 1.2 moles of an ideal monatomic gas, and container B (volume VB = 3.5 m3) is empty (vacuum). When the valve is opened, gas flows between A and B, and the turbine is used to generate electricity. What is the maximum amount of work than can be done on the turbine as the gas reaches equilibrium? Remember: U = 1.5 nRT + const S = nR ln(V) + f(U,n)

Answer:

The maximum amount of work is  W = 1563.289 \ J

Explanation:

From  the question we are told that

   The temperature of the environment is  T = 280\ K

    The volume of container A is  V_A = 2 m^3

    Initially the number of moles  is  n = 1.2 \ moles

     The volume of container B is V_B = 3.5 \ m^3

     

At equilibrium of the gas the maximum work that can be done on the turbine is mathematically represented as

             W =  P_A V_A  ln[ \frac{V_B}{V_A} ]

Now from the Ideal gas law

          P_A V_A =  nRT

So substituting for P_A V_A in the equation above

          W =  nRT ln [\frac{V_B}{V_A} ]

Where R is the gas constant with a values of  R =  8.314 \  J/mol

Substituting values we have that

            W = 1.2 * (8.314) * (280) * ln [\frac{3.5}{2} ]

          W = 1563.289 \ J

The mass of block B is twice the mass of block A, while the mass of the pulley is equal to the mass of block A. The blocks are l

Answer:

C)the right cord pulls on the pulley with greater force than the left cord

Explanation:

As we can see the figure that B is connected to the right string while A is connected to the left string

Now force equation for B as it will move downwards is given as

(2m)g - T_B = (2m)a

similarly for block A which will move upwards we can write the equation as

T_A - mg = ma

now we know that pulley is also rotating so the tangential acceleration of the rope at the contact point with pulley must be same as that of acceleration of the blocks

so here pulley will rotate clockwise direction

So tension in the right string must be more than the left string

So correct answer will be

C)the right cord pulls on the pulley with greater force than the left cord
