200-grams of computer chips with a specific heat of 0.3 kJ/kg·K are initially at 25°C. These chips are cooled by placement in 0.
balu736 [363]

Answer:

a. -0.01324 kJ/K,  b.  = 0.03233 kJ/K , c.  = 0.01909, Yes the process is possible

Explanation:

Heat transfer will occur between the chip and the surrounding fluid. Then, finally they will attain a common equilibrium temperature and heat transfer will stop. Now, if we assume that, after heat transfer, chip will attain the temperature of fluid, that is, -34 C,, So , to check whether this is possible

Amount of energy lost by the chip = m . c . (T(i) - T(f))

= 0.2 x 0.3 (25 + 34) = 3.54 KJ

Now, to evaluate the final state of the fluid, after the heat transfer completion,

Energy Gained = m(mew final – mew initial) = m[(μf+ x . μfg) - μf]

Note that heat transfer will change the internal energy of the fluid. Do not consider enthalpy change, as this is not a problem involving fluid flow in and out of the system

M[(μf+ x . μfg) - μf] = m(xμfg)

<u>Energy gained by the fluid will be equal to the energy lost by the chip (No energy loss to the surroundings)</u>

3.54 = 0.1 . X x 203.29

<u>x = 0.1741, which is the dryness fraction of fluid at the final state.</u>

Observe that the total energy lost by the chips is 3.45 kJ and fluid R-134a has got its value of mew fg at -34 C which is = 203.29 kJ/kg

So for 0.1kg of R-134a

0.1 x μfg= <u>20.329 kJ, which is much greater than 3.45 kJ</u>, therefore, it is certain that the state of fluid will be at -34 C only and at the saturation pressure of 69.56 KPa. So the chip will come to attain the temperature of -34 C.  

a. Write the equation for the change of entropy in the chips

ΔSchips = mchips . c . ln(T2/T1), where mc is the mass of chips, c is the specific heat of chips, T2 is the temperature at state 2 and T1 is the temperature at state 1

Substitute mc = 0.2 kg, c = 0.3kJ/kg.K, T1 = 25 + 273, T2 = -34 + 273

delSchips = 0.2 x 0.3 x ln [(-34+273)/ (25+273)]

= -0.01324 kJ/K

There fore the change in entropy of the chips is -0.01324 kJ/K

b. Entropy change of fluid R- 134a

ΔS2 = m[Sfinal – S initial]

= m[Sf + x . Sfg - Sf]

= 0.2 x (0.1741 x 0.92859)

= 0.03233 kJ/K

c. Calculate the total change in the entropy of the entire system

delS = delSchips + delSR -134a

= -0.01324 + 0.03233

= 0.01909

<u>Since the total change in entropy of the entire system is positive that exactly explains that the actual processes are happening in the direction of increase of entropy therefore, the process is possible.</u>

A projectile is launched straight up from a height of 960 feet with an initial velocity of 64 ft/sec. Its height at time t is h(
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

a) t=2s

b) h_{max}=1024ft

c) v_{y}=-256ft/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we know the initial velocity of the projectile and its initial height

v_{y}=64ft/s\\h_{o}=960ft\\g=-32ft/s^2

To find what time does it take to reach maximum height we need to find how high will it go

b) We can calculate its initial height using the following formula

Knowing that its velocity is zero at its maximum height

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

0=(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(y-960ft)

y=\frac{-(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(960ft)}{-2(32ft/s^2)}=1024ft

So, the projectile goes 1024 ft high

a) From the equation of height we calculate how long does it take to reach maximum point

h=-16t^2+64t+960

1024=-16t^2+64t+960

0=-16t^2+64t-64

Solving the quadratic equation

t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

a=-16\\b=64\\c=-64

t=2s

So, the projectile reach maximum point at t=2s

c) We can calculate the final velocity by using the following formula:

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

v_{y}=±\sqrt{(64ft/s)^{2}-2(32ft/s^2)(-960ft)}=±256ft/s

Since the projectile is going down the velocity at the instant it reaches the ground is:

v=-256ft/s

Question 9 In an RC series circuit, ε = 12.0 V, R = 1.07 MΩ, and C = 2.66 µF. (a) Calculate the time constant. (b) Find the maxi
meriva

Answer:

a.) τ = 2.85 s b.) Q = 3.19 * 10^-5 C c.) t = 1.691 s

Explanation:

So we are told that it is a RC circuit. We are told Q = C V [1 - e^(-t/RC)] = 12.0 V, R =  1.07 MΩ and C = 2.66 µF.

a.) The time constant for RC circuit, τ = RC. Substituting our known values we get:

τ = RC where R = (1.07 * 10 ^ 6)Ω and C = (2.66 * 10 ^ -6) F

τ = (1.07 * 10 ^ 6)Ω * (2.66 * 10 ^ -6) F = 2.8462 s ≈ 2.85 s

τ = 2.85 s

b.) The relationship between capacitance, potential, charge is given:

Q = CV[1-e^{-t/RC} ]

The capacitor is fully charge when t approaches infinity, therefore:

Q =  \lim_{t \to \infty} a_n CV[1-e^{-t/RC} ]

When t approaches infinity, the term e becomes very small (e^-∞ = 0), therefore we can simplify the equation and plug in our values

Q = (2.66*10^{-6}) F * (12.0)V *[1 - 0] = 3.192 * 10^{-5}

Q = 3.19 * 10^-5 C

c.) Using the same equation as before, we can substitute Q in and solve for Q:

(14.3 * 10 ^ 6) C = (2.66*10^{-6})F *(12.0)V*[1-e^{-t/(2.85s)}]\\0.552 = e^{-t/(2.85s)}\\t = -1 * 2.85 * ln(0.552) \\t = 1.69120678 s

t = 1.691 s

Hope this helps! I'm not sure what the units you want, so convert to the desired units.

After the box comes to rest at position x₁, a person starts pushing the box, giving it a speed v₁. When the box reaches position
Vesna [10]

Answer:

W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2

Explanation:

As we know that box is initially at rest

So we will have

v_i = 0

now as it will be displaced from initial position to final position then final speed of the box is reached to

v_f = v_1

now we know by work energy theorem that work done by all the forces on the box will be equal to the change in kinetic energy

So here we will have

W_p = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2 - v_i^2)

W_p = \frac{1}{2}m(v_1^2 - 0)

W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2
