Assumptions:

  • Steady state.
  • Air as working fluid.
  • Ideal gas.
  • Reversible process.
  • Ideal Otto Cycle.

Explanation:

Otto cycle is a thermodynamic cycle widely used in automobile engines, in which an amount of gas (air) experiences changes of pressure, temperature, volume, addition of heat, and removal of heat. The cycle is composed by (following the P-V diagram):

  • Intake <em>0-1</em>: the mass of working fluid is drawn into the piston at a constant pressure.
  • Adiabatic compression <em>1-2</em>: the mass of working fluid is compressed isentropically from State 1 to State 2 through compression ratio (r).

        r =\frac{V_1}{V_2}

  • Ignition 2-3: the volume remains constant while heat is added to the mass of gas.
  • Expansion 3-4: the working fluid does work on the piston due to the high pressure within it, thus the working fluid reaches the maximum volume through the compression ratio.

         r = \frac{V_4}{V_3} = \frac{V_1}{V_2}

  • Heat Rejection 4-1: heat is removed from the working fluid as the pressure drops instantaneously.
  • Exhaust 1-0: the working fluid is vented to the atmosphere.

If the system produces enough work, the automobile and its occupants will propel. On the other hand, the efficiency of the Otto Cycle is defined as follows:

           \eta = 1-(\frac{1}{r^{\gamma - 1} } )

where:

           \gamma = \frac{C_{p} }{C_{v}} : specific heat ratio

Ideal air is the working fluid, as stated before, for which its specific heat ratio can be considered constant.

           \gamma = 1.4

Answer:

See image attached.

Consider two Carnot heat engines operating in series. The first engine receives heat from the reservoir at 1400 K and rejects th
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The temperature T= 648.07k

Explanation:

T1=input temperature of the first heat engine =1400k

T=output temperature of the first heat engine and input temperature of the second heat engine= unknown

T3=output temperature of the second heat engine=300k

but carnot efficiency of heat engine =1 - \frac{Tl}{Th} \\

where Th =temperature at which the heat enters the engine

Tl is the  temperature of the environment

since both engines have the same thermal capacities <em>n_{th} </em> therefore n_{th} =n_{th1} =n_{th2}\\n_{th }=1-\frac{T1}{T}=1-\frac{T}{T3}\\ \\= 1-\frac{1400}{T}=1-\frac{T}{300}\\

We have now that

\frac{-1400}{T}+\frac{T}{300}=0\\

multiplying through by T

-1400 + \frac{T^{2} }{300}=0\\

multiplying through by 300

-420000+ T^{2} =0\\T^2 =420000\\\sqrt{T2}=\sqrt{420000}  \\T=648.07k

The temperature T= 648.07k

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The sentence excerpted from the e-mail uses passive voice.  

Given the  purpose of your message, this voice is appropriate.

Explanation:

Because the objective is to remedy the situation a passive voice is great because it emphasizes the action and the object instead of the subject.

We want to emphasize the document and the incorrect information, not our colleague.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

In a work site with more than one set of management and workers the Health and  safety officers in each set  should have access to the information, training and controls needed to avoid workplace accidents

Explanation:

The primary aim of a health and  safety officer in a workplace is to prevent accidents,injuries and work-related sickness from occurring in the work site by creating and implementing health and safety policies according to international standards and also ensure that these policies are implemented  by the sets of management and workers/staffs of the work site.  to achieve these they therefore should have access to the information,training and controls needed to avoid workplace accidents

NARA [144]

Answer:

len(word2) >= len(word1) and len(word2) >= len(word3):

Question with blank is below

def longest_word(word1,word2,word3):

   if len(word1) >= len(word2) and len(word1) >= len(word3):

       word = word1

   elif _________________________________________

       word = word2

   else:

       word = word3

   return word

print(longest_word("chair","couch","table"))

print(longest_word("bed","bath","beyond"))

print(longest_word("laptop","notebook","desktop"))

print(longest_word("hi","cat","Cow"))

Explanation

In line 1 of the code word1, word2, and word3 are the parameters used to for the defining the longest_word function. They will be replaced by 3 words to be compared. The code that is filled in the blank is len(word2) >= len(word1) and len(word2) >= len(word3): It is a conditional statement that is true only if the number of characters in the string of word2 is greater than or equal to word1 and word2 is greater than that of word3 .
