Answer:

-8.34\times 10^{11}\ \text{J}

Explanation:

m = Mass of satellite = 15000 kg

h = Distance above Earth = 800 km

R = Radius of Earth = 6371 km

M = Mass of Earth = 5.972\times 10^{24}\ \text{kg}

G = Gravitational constant = 6.674\times 10^{-11}\ \text{Nm}^2/\text{kg}^2

Potential energy is given by

U=-\dfrac{GMm}{R+h}\\\Rightarrow U=-\dfrac{6.674\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}\times 15000}{(6371+800)\times 10^3}\\\Rightarrow U=-8.34\times 10^{11}\ \text{J}

The potential energy of the satellite is -8.34\times 10^{11}\ \text{J}.

Serggg [28]

Explanation:

Note: For equations refer the attached document!

The net upward pressure force per unit height p*D must be balanced by the downward tensile force per unit height 2T, a force that can also be expressed as a stress, σhoop, times area 2t. Equating and solving for σh gives:

 Eq 1

Similarly, the axial stress σaxial can be calculated by dividing the total force on the end of the can, pA=pπ(D/2)2 by the cross sectional area of the wall, πDt, giving:

Eq 2

For a flat sheet in biaxial tension, the strain in a given direction such as the ‘hoop’ tangential direction is given by the following constitutive relation - with Young’s modulus E and Poisson’s ratio ν:

 Eq 3

 

Finally, solving for unknown pressure as a function of hoop strain:

 Eq 4

 

Resistance of a conductor of length L, cross-sectional area A, and resistivity ρ is

 Eq 5

Consequently, a small differential change in ΔR/R can be expressed as

 Eq 6

Where ΔL/L is longitudinal strain ε, and ΔA/A is –2νε where ν is the Poisson’s ratio of the resistive material. Substitution and factoring out ε from the right hand side leaves

 Eq 7

Where Δρ/ρε can be considered nearly constant, and thus the parenthetical term effectively becomes a single constant, the gage factor, GF

 Eq 8

For Wheat stone bridge:

 Eq 9

Given that R1=R3=R4=Ro, and R2 (the strain gage) = Ro + ΔR, substituting into equation above:

Eq9

Substituting e with respective stress-strain relation

Eq 10

 

part b

Since, axial strain(1-2v) < hoop strain (2-v). V out axial < V out hoop.

Hence, dV hoop < dV axial.

part c  

Given data:

P = 253313 Pa

D = d + 2t = 0.09013 m

t = 65 um

GF = 2

E = 75 GPa

v = 0.33

Use the data above and compute Vout using Eq3

Air is compressed by a 40-kW compressor from P1 to P2. The air temperature is maintained constant at 25°C during this process a
AlexFokin [52]

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.

Draw a flowchart to represent the logic of a program that allows the user to enter values for the current year and the user’s bi
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Please, see the attachment.

Explanation:

First, we have to create two input boxes that allows the user to write the current year in one of them and his/her birth year in the another one. Also, we have to create a label that will show the result of the desired variable. We can write a message "Your age is:" and it will be attached to the result.

For the algorithm, let's call the variables as follows:

CY = Current Year

BY = Birth Year

X = Age of user

When the user inserts the current year and his/her birth year, the program will do the following operation:

X = CY - BY; this operation will give us the age of the user

After this the user will see something like "Your age is:" X.

Can you use isentropic efficiency for a non-adiabatic compressor?
vodomira [7]
Mark brainliest please!

Isothermal work will be less than the adiabatic work for any given compression ratio and set of suction conditions. The ratio of isothermal work to the actual work is the isothermal efficiency. Isothermal paths are not typically used in most industrial compressor calculations.

Compressors

Compressors are used to move gases and vapors in situations where large pressure differences are necessary.

Types of Compressor

Compressors are classified by the way they work: dynamic (centrifugal and axial) or reciprocating. Dynamic compressors use a set of rotating blades to add velocity and pressure to fluid. They operate at high speeds and are driven by steam or gas turbines or electric motors. They tend to be smaller and lighter for a given service than reciprocating machines, and hence have lower costs.

Reciprocating compressors use pistons to push gas to a higher pressure. They are common in natural gas gathering and transmission systems, but are less common in process applications. Reciprocating compressors may be used when very large pressure differences must be achieved; however, since they produce a pulsating flow, they may need to have a receiver vessel to dampen the pulses.

The compression ratio, pout over pin, is a key parameter in understanding compressors and blowers. When the compression ratio is below 4 or so, a blower is usually adequate. Higher ratios require a compressor, or multiple compressor stages, be used.

When the pressure of a gas is increased in an adiabatic system, the temperature of the fluid must rise. Since the temperature change is accompanied by a change in the specific volume, the work necessary to compress a unit of fluid also changes. Consequently, many compressors must be accompanied by cooling to reduce the consequences of the adiabatic temperature rise. The coolant may flow through a jacket which surrounds the housing with liquid coolant. When multiple stage compressors are used, intercooler heat exchangers are often used between the stages.

Dynamic Compressors

Gas enters a centrifugal or axial compressor through a suction nozzle and is directed into the first-stage impeller by a set of guide vanes. The blades push the gas forward and into a diffuser section where the gas velocity is slowed and the kinetic energy transferred from the blades is converted to pressure. In a multistage compressor, the gas encounters another set of guide vanes and the compression step is repeated. If necessary, the gas may pass through a cooling loop between stages.

Compressor Work

To evaluate the work requirements of a compressor, start with the mechanical energy balance. In most compressors, kinetic and potential energy changes are small, so velocity and static head terms may be neglected. As with pumps, friction can be lumped into the work term by using an efficiency. Unlike pumps, the fluid cannot be treated as incompressible, so a differential equation is required:

Compressor Work
Evaluation of the integral requires that the compression path be known - - is it adiabatic, isothermal, or polytropic?
uncooled units -- adiabatic, isentropic compression
complete cooling during compression -- isothermal compression
large compressors or incomplete cooling -- polytropic compression
Before calculating a compressor cycle, gas properties (heat capacity ratio, compressibility, molecular weight, etc.) must be determined for the fluid to be compressed. For mixtures, use an appropriate weighted mean value for the specific heats and molecular weight.

Adiabatic, Isentropic Compression

If there is no heat transfer to or from the gas being compressed, the porocess is adiabatic and isentropic. From thermodynamics and the study of compressible flow, you are supposed to recall that an ideal gas compression path depends on:

Adiabatic Path
This can be rearranged to solve for density in terms of one known pressure and substituted into the work equation, which then can be integrated.
Adiabatic Work
The ratio of the isentropic work to the actual work is called the adiabatic efficiency (or isentropic efficiency). The outlet temperature may be calculated from
Adiabatic Temperature Change
Power is found by multiplying the work by the mass flow rate and adjusting for the units and efficiency.
Isothermal Compression

If heat is removed from the gas during compression, an isothermal compression cycle may be achieved. In this case, the work may be calculated from:
