Answer:

The correct option is;

The index of refraction of the second medium is lower

Explanation:

The index of refraction of a material indicates the magnitude of the optical density of a material. The index of refraction or the refractive index, n, are indices (ratio) of the speed of light through an optically dense medium relative to the speed of light through a vacuum.

The definition of the refractive index is the number of times light travelling through a medium would be slower than light travelling through vacuum

Therefore, the index of refraction of a second medium that is less optically dense than a first medium from which light originates and travels through it would be lower than the index of refraction of the first medium

A single insulated duct flow experiment using air operating at steady-state is performed in a lab. One measurement location (Sta
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a) -0.0934 kJ/kg. K

b) The direction of flow is from right to left.

Explanation:

A free flow diagram of the horizontal insulated duct is as shown below.

NOW,

Let assume that the direction of flow is from left to right and consider the following relation for the entropy rate balance equation for a control volume as:

\frac{\sigma_{cv}}{m}= (s_2-s_1) \geq  0 \ \ \ -------> \ \ \ 1

Now; if the value for this relation is greater than zero; then we conclude that our assumption is correct.

If the value is less than zero; then we conclude that the assumption is wrong.

Then, the flow is said to be  in the opposite direction

Formula for the change in specific entropy can be calculated as:

s_2-s_1 = s^0(T_2) - s^0(T_1)-R \ In ( \frac{P_2}{P-1}) \ \ \  ------->  \ \ \ 2

where;

s_1, s_2 , s^0(T_2), s^0(T1) are specific entropies

R = universal gas constant

P_1 = pressure at location 1

P_2 = pressure at location 2

We obtain the specific properties of air at temperature at T_1 = (67°C + 273)K = 340 K from the table A-22 ( Ideal gas properties of air)

s^0(T1) = 1.8279 kJ/kg.K

We also obtain the specific properties of air at temperature T_2 = 22°C + 273) K = 295 K

From the table A- 22

s^0(T_2) = 1.68515 kJ/kg . K

R = \frac{8.314 kJ}{28.97 kg.K}

P_1 = 0.95 bar

P_2 = 0.8 bar

Now replacing our values  into equation (2) from above; we have;

s_2-s_1 = s^0(T_2) -s^0(T_1)-R \ In (\frac{P_2}{P_1} )

s_2-s_1 = 1.68515 -1.8279-\frac{8.314}{28.97}  \ In (\frac{0.8}{0.95} )

s_2-s_1 = 1.68515 -1.8279+ 0.0493

s_2-s_1 =-0.0934 \  kJ/kg.K

Equating our result to equation (1)

s_2-s_1 \geq 0\\-0.0934 \leq 0

Therefore , our assumption is wrong and the direction of flow is said to be from right to left.

We therefore conclude that the direction of flow is from right to left.
