Answer:

The cost and size of materials needed to produce energy

Explanation:

Artificial photosynthesis is a chemical process that uses solar cells instead of chlorophyll to absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. This process uses artificial leaves that require man-made catalyst to spilt water present in the air into hydrogen and oxygen. It is clear that the reaction requires heat from the sun for energy production thus the technology is expensive to be applied in most areas of the world. Additionally, results obtained from previous undertaken projects of this type has been ineffective and unsustainable because it involves a lot of trial and error.

The correct statement about the lift and drag on an object is:_______

Lisa [10]

Answer:

(a). the resultant force in the direction of the freestream velocity is termed the drag and the resultant force normal to the freestream velocity is termed the lift

Explanation:

When a fluid flows around the surface of an object, it exerts a force on it. This force has two components, namely lift and drag.

The component of this force that is perpendicular (normal) to the freestream velocity is known as lift, while the component of this force that is parallel or in the direction of the fluid freestream flow is known as drag.

Lift is as a result of pressure differences, while drag results from forces due to pressure distributions over the object surface, and forces due to skin friction or viscous force.

Thus, drag results from the combination of pressure and viscous forces while lift results only from the pressure differences (not pressure forces as was used in option D).

The only correct option left is "A"

(a). the resultant force in the direction of the freestream velocity is termed the drag and the resultant force normal to the freestream velocity is termed the lift

For an Otto cycle, plot the cycle efficiency as a function of compression ratio from 4 to 16.

Elza [17]

Assumptions:

Steady state.
Air as working fluid.
Ideal gas.
Reversible process.
Ideal Otto Cycle.

Explanation:

Otto cycle is a thermodynamic cycle widely used in automobile engines, in which an amount of gas (air) experiences changes of pressure, temperature, volume, addition of heat, and removal of heat. The cycle is composed by (following the P-V diagram):

Intake 0-1: the mass of working fluid is drawn into the piston at a constant pressure.

Adiabatic compression 1-2: the mass of working fluid is compressed isentropically from State 1 to State 2 through compression ratio (r).

$r =\frac{V_1}{V_2}$

Ignition 2-3: the volume remains constant while heat is added to the mass of gas.
Expansion 3-4: the working fluid does work on the piston due to the high pressure within it, thus the working fluid reaches the maximum volume through the compression ratio.

$r = \frac{V_4}{V_3} = \frac{V_1}{V_2}$

Heat Rejection 4-1: heat is removed from the working fluid as the pressure drops instantaneously.
Exhaust 1-0: the working fluid is vented to the atmosphere.

If the system produces enough work, the automobile and its occupants will propel. On the other hand, the efficiency of the Otto Cycle is defined as follows:

$\eta = 1-(\frac{1}{r^{\gamma - 1} } )$

where:

$\gamma = \frac{C_{p} }{C_{v}} : specific heat ratio$

Ideal air is the working fluid, as stated before, for which its specific heat ratio can be considered constant.

$\gamma = 1.4$
