Answer:

Farmers who use conventional tillage use compost more than other farmers.

Explanation:

Convectional tillage is good to the environment because it attains the following;

It increases porosity of the soil
It loosens the soil thus allowing proper root growth and air exchange
It is an effective way to incorporate manure and break sod fields
Tilled soils warm faster in spring

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Energy alance of 2 closed systems: Heat from CO2 equals the heat that is added to air in

$m_{a} c_{v,a}(T_{eq} -T_{a,i)} =m_{co2} c_{v,co2} (T_{co2,i} -T_{eq)}$

1x0.723x $(T_{eq} -350)$ =3x0.780x $(450-T_{eq} )$ ⇒ $T_{eq}$ = 426.4 °K

The initail volumes of the gases can be determined by the ideal gas equation of state,

$V_{a,i} = \frac{mRT_{a,i} }{P_{a,i} }$ = $\frac{1x (8.314 28.97 kJ kg • °K)x 350°K}{5 bar x 100KPa bar}$ = 0.201 $m^{3}$

The equilibrium pressure of the gases can also be obtained by the ideal gas equation

$P_{eq=\frac{(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq})+(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq} ) }{(V_{a,eq}+V_{CO2,eq)} } =\frac{(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq})+(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq} ) }{(V_{a,i}+V_{CO2,i)} }$

$P_{eq}$ = 1x(8.314 28.97)x426.4+3x(8.314 44)x426.4

(0.201+1.275)

= 246.67 KPa = 2.47 bar

labwork [276]

Answer:

Q = -68.859 kJ

Explanation:

given details

mass $co_2 = 1 kg$

initial pressure P_1 = 104 kPa

Temperature T_1 = 25 Degree C = 25+ 273 K = 298 K

final pressure P_2 = 1068 kPa

Temperature T_2 = 311 Degree C = 311+ 273 K = 584 K

we know that

molecular mass of $co_2 = 44$

R = 8.314/44 = 0.189 kJ/kg K

c_v = 0.657 kJ/kgK

from ideal gas equation

PV =mRT

$V_1 = \frac{m RT_1}{P_1}$

$=\frac{1*0.189*298}{104}$

$V_1 = 0.5415 m3$

$V_2 = \frac{m RT_2}{P_2}$

$=\frac{1*0.189*584}{1068}$

$V_1 = 0.1033 m3$

WORK DONE

$W =P_{avg}*{V_2-V_1}$

w = 586*(0.1033 -0.514)

W =256.76 kJ

INTERNAL ENERGY IS

$\Delta U = m *c_v*{V_2-V_1}$

$\Delta U = 1*0.657*(584-298)$

$\Delta U =187.902 kJ$

HEAT TRANSFER

$Q = \Delta U +W$

= 187.902 +(-256.46)

Q = -68.859 kJ

Answer:

0.024 m = 24.07 mm

Explanation:

1) Notation

$\sigma_c$ = tensile stress = 200 Mpa

$K$ = plane strain fracture toughness= 55 Mpa $\sqrt{m}$

$\lambda$ = length of a surface crack (Variable of interest)

2) Definition and Formulas

The Tensile strength is the ability of a material to withstand a pulling force. It is customarily measured in units (F/A), like the pressure. Is an important concept in engineering, especially in the fields of materials and structural engineering.

By definition we have the following formula for the tensile stress:

$\sigma_c=\frac{K}{Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}}$ (1)
