What is it that makes a battery rechargeable? How is it different from a regular battery?

2 answers:

The difference between both batteries is that the chemical reaction is reversible with a rechargeable battery: when electrical energy from an external source (e.g., a charger) is applied to the battery's secondary cell, the negative-to-positive electron flow that occurs during discharge gets reversed.

Answer:

"A simple battery is comprised of multiple cells attached in series. A cell is made up of three parts: two electrodes (an anode and cathode) in a chemical called an electrolyte. A rechargeable battery is capable of reversing the chemical reaction by forcing a current in the opposite direction."

Water at 15°C is to be discharged from a reservoir at a rate of 18 L/s using two horizontal cast iron pipes connected in series

Zina [86]

Answer:

0.245 m^3/s

Explanation:

Flow rate through pipe a is 0.4 m3/s Parallel pipes have a diameter D = 30 cm => r = 15 cm = 0.15 m Length of Pipe a = 1000m Length of Pipe b = 2650m Temperature = 15 degrees Va = V / A = (0.4m3/s) / (3.14 (0.15m)^2) = 5.66 m/s h = (f(LV^2)) / D2g (fa(LaVa^2)) / Da2g = (fb(LbVb^2)) / Da2g and Da = Db; fa = fb LaVa^2 = LbVb^2 => La/Lb = Vb^2/Va^2 Vd^2 = Va^2(La/Lb) => Vb = Va(La/Lb)^(1/2) Vb = 5.66 (1000/2650)^(1/2) => 5.66 x 0.6143 = 3.4769 m/s Vb = 3.4769 m/s V = AVb = 3.14(0.15)^2 x 3.4769 m/s = 0.245 m^3/s

An aircraft is flying at 300 mph true airspeed has a 50 mph tailwind. What is its ground speed?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

304.13 mph

Explanation:

Data provided in the question :

The Speed of the flying aircraft = 300 mph

Tailwind of the true airspeed = 50 mph

Now,

The ground speed will be calculated as:

ground speed = $\sqrt{300^2+50^2}$

The ground speed = $\sqrt{92500}$

The ground speed = 304.13 mph

Hence, the ground speed is 304.13 mph

Refrigerant 134a enters an air conditioner compressor at 4 bar, 20 C, and is compressed at steady state to 12 bar, 80 C. The vol

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

$Q=15.7Kw$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Initial Pressure $P_1=4bar$

Initial Temperature $T_1=20 C$

Final Pressure $P_2=12 bar$

Final Temperature $T_2=80C$

Work Output $W= 60 kJ/kg$

Generally Specific Energy from table is

At initial state

$P_1=4bar \& T_1=20 C$

$E_1=262.96KJ/Kg$

With

Specific Volume $V'=0.05397m^3/kg$

At Final state

$P_2=12 bar \& P_2=80C$

$E_1=310.24KJ/Kg$

Generally the equation for The Process is mathematically given by

$m_1E_1+w=m_2E_2+Q$

Assuming Mass to be Equal

$m_1=m_1$

Where

$m=\frac{V}{V'}$

$m=frac{0.06666}{V'=0.05397m^3/kg}$

$m=1.24$

Therefore

$1.24*262.96+60)=1.24*310.24+Q$

$Q=15.7Kw$

Water vapor at 100 psi, 500 F and a velocity of 100 ft./sec enters a nozzle operating at steady sate and expands adiabatically t

almond37 [142]

Answer:

a)exit velocity of the steam, V2 = 2016.8 ft/s

b) the amount of entropy produced is 0.006 Btu/Ibm.R

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 100 psi

V1 = 100 ft./sec

T1 = 500f

P2 = 40 psi

n = 95% = 0.95

a) for nozzle:

Let's apply steady gas equation.

$h_1 + \frac{(v_1) ^2}{2} = h_2 + \frac{(v_2)^2}{2}$

h1 and h2 = inlet and exit enthalpy respectively.

At T1 = 500f and P1 = 100 psi,

h1 = 1278.8 Btu/Ibm

s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

At P2 = 40psi and s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

1193.5 Btu/Ibm

Let's find the actual h2 using the formula :

$n = \frac{h_1 - h_2*}{h_1 - h_2}$

$n = \frac{1278.8 - h_2*}{1278.8 - 1193.5}$

solving for h2, we have

$h_2 = 1197.77 Btu/Ibm$

Take Btu/Ibm = 25037 ft²/s²

Using the first equation, exit velocity of the steam =

$(1278.8 * 25037) + \frac{(100)^2}{2}= (1197.77*25037)+ \frac{(V_2)^2}{2}$

Solving for V2, we have

V2 = 2016.8 ft/s

b) The amount of entropy produced in BTU/ lbm R will be calculated using :

Δs = s2 - s1

Where s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

At h2 = 1197.77 Btu/Ibm and P2 =40 psi,

S2 = 1.714 Btu/Ibm.R

Therefore, amount of entropy produced will be:

Δs = 1.714Btu/Ibm.R - 1.708Btu/Ibm.R

= 0.006 Btu/Ibm.R
