Answer:

the rate of entropy change of the air is -0.1342 kW/K

the assumptions made in solving this problem

- Air is an ideal gas.

- the process is isothermal ( internally reversible process ). the change in internal energy is 0.

- It is a steady flow process

- Potential and Kinetic energy changes are negligible.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

From the first law of thermodynamics;

dQ = dU + dW ------ let this be equation 1

where dQ is the heat transfer, dU is internal energy and dW is the work done.

from the question, the process is isothermal ( internally reversible process )

Thus, the change in internal energy is 0

dU = 0

given that; Air is compressed by a 40-kW compressor from P1 to P2

since it is compressed, dW = -40 kW

we substitute into equation 1

dQ = 0 + ( -40 kW )

dQ = -40 kW

Now, change in entropy of air is;

ΔS $_{air$ = dQ / T

given that T = 25 °C = ( 25 + 273.15 ) K = 298.15 K

so we substitute

ΔS $_{air$ = -40 kW / 298.15 K

ΔS $_{air$ = -0.13416 ≈ -0.1342 kW/K

Therefore, the rate of entropy change of the air is -0.1342 kW/K

the assumptions made in solving this problem

- Air is an ideal gas.

- the process is isothermal ( internally reversible process ). the change in internal energy is 0.

- It is a steady flow process

- Potential and Kinetic energy changes are negligible.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

$\mu_1\approx 0.967$

$\mu_2\approx 1.933$

Explanation:

The viscosities above and below the plate are given by

$\mu_2=2\mu_1$ where $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ are viscosities of fluid below and above plate respectively

Force on plate due to top layer of the fluid

$\tau_1=\mu_1\frac {\triangle u}{\triangle y}$ where $\triangle u$ and $\triangle y$ are the velocity of plate and gap between the plate and upper surface respectively.

$\tau_1=\mu_1\times \frac {0.3}{0.03}=10\mu_1$

Force on plate due to bottom layer of the fluid is given by

$\tau_2=\mu_2\frac {\triangle u}{\triangle y}$ where $\triangle u$ and $\triangle y$ are the velocity of plate and gap between the plate and upper surface respectively

$\tau_2=\mu_2\times \frac {0.3}{0.03}=10\mu_2$

Total force per unit area is the sum of two shear forces

$\frac {F}{A}=\tau_1 +\tau_2$ hence

$\tau_1+\tau_2=29$

$10\mu_1+10\mu_2=29$

$10(\mu_1+\mu_2)=29$

$\mu_1+\mu_2=2.9$ but since $\mu_2=2\mu_1$ hence

$\mu_1+2\mu_1=2.9$

$3\mu_1=2.9$

$\mu_1=\frac {2.9}{3}=0.966667\approx 0.967$

$\mu_2=2\mu_1=2*0.966667=1.933333\approx 1.933$

You have a piece of film paper that is 3 in x 5 in. You fix it inside the back of a pinhole camera with a focal length of 5.5 in

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

In order to take a portrait, the distance of the mascot from the camera should be approximately 7.33 feet

Explanation:

The size of the film paper = 3 in. × 5 in.

The focal length of the camera = 5.5 in.

The height and width of the guinea pig = 4 ft.

The height of the aperture above the ground = 2 ft.

Therefore, we have;

Magnification = Height of image/(Height of object)

Withe the 3 in. wide film, we have;

Magnification = 3 in./(4 ft.) = 3 in./(48 in.) = 0.0625

Magnification = Length of camera/(Distance of object from pin hole)

∴ Length of camera/(Distance of object from pin hole) = 0.0625

Length of camera = Focal length of the camera = 5.5 in.

Therefore;

5.5 in./(Distance of object from pin hole) = 0.0625

Distance of object from pin hole = 5.5/0.0625 = 88 inches = 7.33 ft

Therefore, the camera should be approximately 7.33 ft. from the mascot to take a portrait.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

center left-turn lane

Explanation:

A <em>center left turn lane</em> will be marked as described. The arrows, if present, generally indicate that left turns are permitted from the lane with these markings.

__

If the double yellow lines are solid, they are considered to be a "barrier" and are not to be crossed.
