A frictionless piston-cylinder device contains 10 kg of superheated vapor at 550 kPa and 340oC. Steam is then cooled at constant

pressure until 60 percent of it, by mass, condenses. Determine (a) the work (W) done during the process. (b) What-if Scenario: What would the work done be if steam were cooled at constant pressure until 80 percent of it, by mass, condenses

Answer:

a) the work (W) done during the process is -2043.25 kJ

b) the work (W) done during the process is -2418.96 kJ

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass of water vapor m = 10 kg

initial pressure P₁ = 550 kPa

Initial temperature T₁ = 340 °C

steam cooled at constant pressure until 60 percent of it, by mass, condenses; x = 100% - 60% = 40% = 0.4

from superheated steam table

specific volume v₁ = 0.5092 m³/kg

so the properties of steam at p₂ = 550 kPa, and dryness fraction

x = 0.4

specific volume v₂ = v_f + xv_{fg

v₂ = 0.001097 + 0.4( 0.34261 - 0.001097 )

v₂ = 0.1377 m³/kg

Now, work done during the process;

W = mP₁( v₂ - v₁ )

W = 10 × 550( 0.1377 - 0.5092 )

W = 5500 × -0.3715

W = -2043.25 kJ

Therefore, the work (W) done during the process is -2043.25 kJ

( The negative, indicates work is done on the system )

b)

What would the work done be if steam were cooled at constant pressure until 80 percent of it, by mass, condenses

x₂ = 100% - 80% = 20% = 0.2

specific volume v₂ = v_f + x₂v_{fg

v₂ = 0.001097 + 0.2( 0.34261 - 0.001097 )

v₂ = 0.06939 m³/kg

Now, work done during the process will be;

W = mP₁( v₂ - v₁ )

W = 10 × 550( 0.06939 - 0.5092 )

W = 5500 × -0.43981

W = -2418.96 kJ

Therefore, the work (W) done during the process is -2418.96 kJ

A bug splats against the windshield of a car traveling at high speeds down a backcountry road. Which statement correctly compare
zvonat [6]

Answer:

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.

Explanation:

As we know by Newton's 2nd law

F = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}

here we have also know that when car hits the bug then force applied by wind shield on the bug is same as the force applied by the bug on the car's wind shield as per Newton's III law

F_{12} = F_{21}

so we know that

\frac{\Delta P_{12}}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta P_{21}}{\Delta t}

so we have

\Delta P_{12} = \Delta P_{21}

so correct answer will be

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.

Que hace falta para descubrir hasta que punto todas y todos somos diferentes y ver que eso, más bien es valioso y positivo
lara [203]

Answer:

Para descubrir que las diferencias entre las personas son valiosas y positivas para la creación de sociedades más diversas y enriquecidas culturalmente, es necesario valorar las condiciones personales de cada persona de modo positivo, abandonando posturas discriminatorias como el racismo o la xenofobia, para así aceptar la diversidad social. Además, debe fomentarse el respeto por la opinión y la visión del otro, para que las personas no tomen al que piensa diferente como un adversario al que hay que confrontar. Solo así podrá lograrse una sociedad más diversa y respetuosa de las diferencias, sean culturales, étnicas o intelectuales.
