Answer:

a) T = 8.91\,^{\textdegree}C, b) W_{out} = 27.744\,kJ

Explanation:

The piston-cylinder device is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

-W_{out} + P_{1}\cdot V_{1} - P_{2}\cdot V_{2} + m\cdot (u_{1}-u_{2}) = 0

-W_{out} = m \cdot (h_{2}-h_{1})

W_{out} = m\cdot (h_{1}-h_{2})

The properties of the refrigerant 134a are, respectively:

Initial State (Saturated Vapor)

P = 800\,MPa

T = 31.31\,^{\textdegree}C

\nu = 0.025645\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}

h = 267.34\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

s = 0.91853\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

Final State (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

P = 400\,kPa

T = 8.91\,^{\textdegree}C

h = 253.11\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

s = 0.91853\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

x = 0.987

a) The final temperature in the cylinder is T = 8.91\,^{\textdegree}C.

b) The work done by the refrigerant is:

W_{out} = \left(\frac{0.05\,m^{3}}{0.025645\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }\right)\cdot \left(267.34\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 253.11\,\frac{kJ}{kg}\right)

W_{out} = 27.744\,kJ

Particle motion in surface waves is __________ motion.
gulaghasi [49]
<h3>Answer;</h3>

<em>B.)neither longitudinal nor transverse</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Longitudinal waves</u></em> are waves in which the vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of the wave motion.
  • <em><u>Transverse waves</u></em> on the other hand are those waves in which the vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion.
  • In <em><u>surface waves particles in the medium of transmission move in a circular motion.</u></em> Therefore, they are neither transverse waves nor longitudinal waves.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

56250 N

Explanation:

mass, m = 6000 kg

initial speed, u = 20 m/s

final speed, v = 5 m/s

distance, s = 20 m

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

5 x 5 = 20 x 20 + 2 a x 20

25 = 400 + 40 a

a = - 9.375 m/s^2

Braking force, F = mass x acceleration

F = 6000 x 9.375

F = 56250 N
