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

Savatey [412]

Answer:

1.28 m

Explanation:

Generally, pressure of fluid is given by

P=\rho g h where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is the height and \rho is the density

Considering that the pressure for mercury is same as for blood only that the height and density of fluid are different then

\rho_b g h_b= \rho_m g h_m

Since g is constant, then

\rho_b h_b= \rho_m h_m

Making h_b the subject of the formula then

h_b=\frac {\rho_m h_m}{\rho_b}

Where subscripts m and b denote mercury and blood respectively

Assuming density of blood is 1060 Kg/m3, density of mercury as 13600 Kg/m3 and substituting height of mercury for 0.1 m then

h_b=\frac {13600*0.1}{1060}=1.283018868  m \approx 1.28 m

Why do stars appear so steady when viewed from the surface of moon or<br> by an astronaut in space?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Explanation:

The light from these little disks is also refracted by Earth's atmosphere, as it travels toward our eyes. That's because, in the direction of any horizon, you're looking through more atmosphere than when you look overhead. If you could see stars and planets from outer space, both would shine steadily.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

<u><em>0.03 m/s</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Applying law of conservation of momentum, </em>

  • <em>m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v</em>
  • <em>0.105(24) + 75(0) = (0.105 + 75)v</em>
  • <em>75.105v = 2.52</em>
  • <em>v = 2.52/75.105</em>
  • <em>v = </em><u><em>0.03 m/s</em></u>
