Answer:64.10 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

Work done in an isothermally compressed steady flow device is expressed as

Work done = P₁V₁ In { P₁/ P₂}

Work done=RT In { P₁/ P₂}

where P₁=13 psia

          P₂= 80 psia

Temperature =°F Temperature is convert to  °R

T(°R) = T(°F) + 459.67

T(°R) = 55°F+ 459.67

=514.67T(°R)

According to the properties of molar gas, gas constant and critical properties table, R  which s the gas constant of air is given as 0.06855 Btu/lbm

Work = RT In { P₁/ P₂}

0.06855 x 514.67 In { 13/ 80}

=0.06855 x 514.67 In {0.1625}

= 0.06855 x 514.67  x -1.817

=- 64.10Btu/lbm

The required work therefore for this  isothermal compression is 64.10 Btu/lbm

John has an exhaust leak in his Acura Integra GS-R, What steps would he take to fix the leak in time for his inspection?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Fist you need to identify where the leak is coming from. You can do this by either listening for the leak or spraying soapy water on the exhaust to look for air bubbles coming out of the exhaust. Depending on the spot of the leak there are many ways you can fix this leak.

1. Exhaust clamp

2. Exhaust putty

3. Exhaust tape

4. New exhaust

Exhaust clamp is best used for holes on straight pipes.

Putty is best used on welds or small holes like on exhaust manifolds or welds connecting various pieces like catalytic converters, mufflers, or resonators.

Tape will work best on straight pipes with holes.

New exhaust is for when the thig is beyond repair, like rust.

Now good luck because working on exhausts is a pain.

3) Explain how dc machines Can work as motor and generator​
weeeeeb [17]

The working principle of a DC machine is when electric current flows through a coil within a magnetic field, and then the magnetic force generates a torque that rotates the dc motor. The DC machines are classified into two types such as DC generator as well as DC motor.
