A rigid tank of 1 in3 contains nitrogen gas at 600 kPa, 400 K. By mistake someone lets 0.5 kg flow out. If the final temperature
is 375 K what is then the final pressure?

Answer:
investment 10 years from now is $1,238,000 .
Explanation:
given data
sum = $500,000
rate = 12% =0.12
total time = 10 year
solution
as present value After 2 years from now is $500,000
so time period is now = 8 year ( 10 - 2 )
so we apply future value formula that is
Future value = present value × ............1
put here value we get
Future value = $500,000 ×
Future value = $500,000 × 2.476
Future value = $1,238,000
so investment 10 years from now is $1,238,000 .
Answer:
a) 5.2 kPa
b) 49.3%
Explanation:
Given data:
Thermal efficiency ( л ) = 56.9% = 0.569
minimum pressure ( P1 ) = 100 kpa
<u>a) Determine the pressure at inlet to expansion process</u>
P2 = ?
r = 1.4
efficiency = 1 - [ 1 / (rp) ]
0.569 = 1 - [ 1 / (rp)^0.4/1.4
1 - 0.569 = 1 / (rp)^0.285
∴ (rp)^0.285 = 0.431
rp = 0.0522
note : rp = P2 / P1
therefore P2 = rp * P1 = 0.0522 * 100 kpa
= 5.2 kPa
b) Thermal efficiency
Л = 1 - [ 1 / ( 10.9 )^0.285 ]
= 0.493 = 49.3%
