A gas undergoes a process in a piston–cylinder assembly during which the pressure-specific volume relation is pv1.3 = constant.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Change in specific internal Energy $=250\ \rm Btu/lb$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the gas, m=0.4 lb
Initial pressure and volume are $p_1=160\ \rm lbf/in^2\ and\ v_1=1\ \rm ft^3\\$

Final pressure and temperature are $p_1=480\ \rm lbf/in^2$
Heat transfer from the gas is 2.1 Btu

Since the process is isotropic we have

$p_1v_1^{1.3}=p_2v_2^{1.3}\\160\times 1^{1.3}=480\times v_2^{1.3}\\v_2=0.43\ \rm ft^3\\$

So the final volume of the gas is calculated.

Work in any isotropic is given by w

$w=\dfrac{p_1v_1-P_2v_2}{n-1}\\\\w=\dfrac{160\times1-480\times0.43}{1.3-1}\\w=-154.67\ \rm Btu\\$

According to the first law of thermodynamics we have

$Q=\Delta U+w\\-2.1=\Delta U-154.67\\\Delta U=152.56\ \rm Btu\\$

So the Specific Internal Change is given by

$\Delta u=\dfrac{\Delta U}{m}\\\Delta u=\dfrac{152.56}{0.4}\\\Delta u=250\ \rm Btu/lb$

So the specific Change in Internal energy is calculated.

A hiker is at the bottom of a canyon facing the canyon wall closest to her. She is 790.5 meters from the wall and the sound of h

tester [92]

Answer:

4.80 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is obtained from;

V= 2d/t

Where;

V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1

d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m

t= time = the unknown

t= 2d/V

t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2

t= 4.80 seconds

1. Water boils at 100°C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100°C, what could be the reason?

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

It may not be at the sea level

Explanation:

The reason here is water only boils at sea level. This means that if you move water to a different height, say top of a mountain, the boiling temperature of water would change. This is due to the pressure drop at high place. The drop of pressure would make it harder to transform water liquid to gas, thus requiring more temperature.
