Answer:
The pressure is constant, and it is P = 150kpa.
the specific volumes are:
initial = 0.062 m^3/kg
final = 0.027 m^3/kg.
Then, the specific work can be written as:

The fact that the work is negative, means that we need to apply work to the air in order to compress it.
Now, to write it in more common units we have that:
1 kPa*m^3 = 1000J.
-5.25 kPa*m^3/kg = -5250 J/kg.
Answer:
a)
b)
c) 0 J/K
d)S= 61.53 J/K
Explanation:
Given that
T₁ = 745 K
T₂ = 101 K
Q= 7190 J
a)
The entropy change of reservoir 745 K

Negative sign because heat is leaving.

b)
The entropy change of reservoir 101 K


c)
The entropy change of the rod will be zero.
d)
The entropy change of the system
S= S₁ + S₂
S = 71.18 - 9.65 J/K
S= 61.53 J/K
To see if the insulation would affect the temp of whatever you are measuring. <span />
This is called Conduction.
The answer C. 2p. I took the quiz and I got it correct.
