In which layer of Earth’s interior does convection occur?

<u>Answer: </u>

Earth convection occurs at the mantle layer

<u>Explanation: </u>

The movement of less dense material  above the more dense material  is called as convection.  The mantle is the layer that lies between the core and the crust of the earth. The mantle is composed of rocks containing silicon, magnesium, oxygen,  aluminium, iron and other minerals.

The heat energy of the core is transmitted  to the rock in the lower mantle.  This makes the rock with less temperature that lies  in  upper mantle to move down slowly.  Now the rocks that are pushed up  is eventually cooled and again pushed down by the hotter rock  from the lower mantle. This is called as convection in earth’s mantle .

mart [117]

<u>Answer</u>

Chemical energy in to thermal energy


<u>Explanation</u>

When acetylene fuel is burning in presence of oxygen, we have chemical process taking place. The torch is used to heat metal to its kindling temperature in oxy-fuel cutting. The steam of gas is then trained on the metal burning it into a metal oxide that flows out of the spout.

So the energy transformation represents this process is <em>Chemical energy into thermal energy </em>

Sally is going shopping with her friend Susan at the mall, which is located 10 kilometers away from her house. She drives half-w
nasty-shy [4]

Total distance between Sally's house and mall = 10 kilometers

Distance covered during half way drive = \frac{10}{2} Kilometers

Now, she goes back to her home.

Distance covered going back home = \frac{10}{2} Kilometers

Now, she drives from home to mall.

Distance covered from Sally's home to mall = 10 kilometers

Hence, the total distance Sally traveled = 5 + 5 + 10

Total distance Sally traveled = 20 kilometers

Hence, the answer is 20 kilometers

Steam at 400C has a specific volume of 0.02m3/kg. Determine the pressure of the steam based on a) the ideal gas equation b) the
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

by ideal gas pressure = 15529.475 kPa

by compressibility chart pressure = 12576 kPa

by steam tables Pressure = 12517 kPa

Explanation:

given data

temperature T = 400°C = 673 K

volume v = 0.02 m³/kg

to find out

pressure by ideal gas, compressibility chart and steam tables

solution

we know here by table

gas constant R is 0.4615 kJ/ kg-K

and critical temp Tc = 647.1 K

and critical pressure Pc = 22064 kPa

so by ideal gas pressure is

pressure = R×T / v

pressure = 0.4615 × 673  / 0.02

pressure = 15529.475 kPa

and

by compressibility chart

temperature reduce is = T/ Tc

temperature reduce Tr = 673 / 647.1

Tr = 1.040 K

so pseudo reduce volume is here

reduce volume Vr = v / ( RTc/Pc)

reduce volume Vr =\frac{0.02}{\frac{461.5(647.1)}{22064*10^{3} } }

0.02 / ( 461.5(647.1) / 22064×10³)

reduce volume = 1.48

and we know by compressibility chart

reduce pressure Pr is 0.57

so

pressure = Pr × Pc

pressure = 0.57 × 22064 ×  10³

pressure = 12576 kPa

and

from steam table

pressure is 12.5 MPa at 673 K and 0.020030 m³/kg

pressure is 15 MPa at 673 K and 0.015671 m³/kg

so

pressure P is

\frac{0.02 - 0.020030}{0.015671 - 0.020030} = \frac{ P - 12.5}{15 - 12.5}

so

Pressure = 12517 kPa
