How do you think density plays a role in the atmosphere?

Physics
1 answer:
Feliz [49]3 years ago

Answer:
Also, gases like air are easily compressed. The weight of all the air above a given point in the atmosphere squeezes air molecules closer together. This causes the density to increase. The more air above a level (and hence the more weight of air above a level), the greater the compression.

Air as an ideal gas enters a diffuser operating at steady state at 5 bar, 280 K with a velocity of 510 m/s. The exit velocity is
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculating the exit temperature for K = 1.4

The value of c_p is determined via the expression:

c_p = \frac{KR}{K_1}

where ;

R = universal gas constant = \frac{8.314 \ J}{28.97 \ kg.K}

k = constant = 1.4

c_p = \frac{1.4(\frac{8.314}{28.97} )}{1.4 -1}

c_p= 1.004 \ kJ/kg.K

The derived expression from mass and energy rate balances reduce for the isothermal process of ideal gas is :

0=(h_1-h_2)+\frac{(v_1^2-v_2^2)}{2}     ------ equation(1)

we can rewrite the above equation as :

0 = c_p(T_1-T_2)+ \frac{(v_1^2-v_2^2)}{2}

T_2 =T_1+ \frac{(v_1^2-v_2^2)}{2 c_p}

where:

T_1  = 280 K \\ \\ v_1 = 510 m/s \\ \\ v_2 = 120 m/s \\ \\c_p = 1.0004 \ kJ/kg.K

T_2= 280+\frac{((510)^2-(120)^2)}{2(1.004)} *\frac{1}{10^3}

T_2 = 402.36 \ K

Thus, the exit temperature = 402.36 K

The exit pressure is determined by using the relation:\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^\frac{k}{k-1}

P_2=P_1(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^\frac{k}{k-1}

P_2 = 5 (\frac{402.36}{280} )^\frac{1.4}{1.4-1}

P_2 = 17.79 \ bar

Therefore, the exit pressure is 17.79 bar
