If we burn 1 gr of ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) this will translate into a release of about 50 W of thermal energy of the flame that r

aise the temperature of the hot and cold reservoirs of a Sterling engine at 55 °C and 95 °C respectively. If at steady state the engine turns at about 240 rpm, its gears are shaped as rings of radius ~2 cm and weigh 50 gr, how efficient (in %) is the transfer of energy via flame?

5 0

Answer:

0.116%

Explanation:

efficiency of sterling engine = 1 - ( 55 + 273 )k / ( 95 + 273 ) k

                                               = 1 - ( 328 / 368 ) = 0.10869

<u>Determine how efficient the transfer of energy via flame is </u>

apply this relation ; energy of steady state / energy output  ---- ( 1 )

where;  <em><u>energy output</u></em> = efficiency of sterling engine * energy

                                     = 0.10869 * 50 = 5.4345 J/sec

<em><u>energy of steady state</u></em> = 1/2 * I * w^2  ------ ( 2 )

I = moment of inertia of engine = 2 * 10^-5 kgm^2

back to equation 2 :  

energy of steady state = 1/2 * ( 2 * 10^-5 ) * ( 240 * 2π / 60 )^2

                                      = 630.88 * 10^-5  J /sec

Input values into equation 1

= [ (630.88 * 10^-5 )  / 5.4345  ] * 100

= 0.116%

Which of the following characteristics would make a gas non-ideal?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

A. The gas molecules possess kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The characteristics of the Ideal gases are given by the Kinetic Theory of gases which are as follows:-

Gases consist of particles in constant, random motion. They continue in a straight line until they collide with something—usually each other or the walls of their container.

Particles are point masses with no volume. The particles are so small compared to the space between them, that we do not consider their size in ideal gases.

No molecular forces are at work. This means that there is no attraction or repulsion between the particles.

Gas pressure is due to the molecules colliding with the walls

Finding mole ratios from chemical formulae
Levart [38]

7 moles of oxygen are in the sample.

According to the chemical formula, each mole of nickel tetracarbonyl contains 4 moles of C atoms. Simply convert it into a fraction by putting the original solution in the denominator and the diluted solution in the numerator if you need to determine the concentration ratio between two solutions. The V/n ratio for each gas must be the same if the two gases are at the same temperature and pressure. The volume ratio of two gases at the same temperature and pressure is equal to their molar ratio. The mole ratio of C to O is 1 : 1
