How much work is required to compress 5.05 mol of air at 19.5°C and 1.00 atm to one-eleventh of the original volume by an isothe
Rus_ich [418]

Explanation:

(a)  For an isothermal process, work done is represented as follows.

             W = -nRT ln(\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

        W = -nRT ln(\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})

             = - 5.05 mol \times 8.314 J/mol K \times (19.5 + 273) K \times ln (\frac{\frac{V_{1}}{11}}{V_{1}})

             = -12280.82 \times ln (0.09)

             = -12280.82 \times -2.41

             = 29596.78 J

or,         = 29.596 kJ       (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, the required work is 29.596 kJ.

(b) For an adiabatic process, work done is as follows.

         W = \frac{P_{1}V^{\gamma}_{1}(V^{1-\gamma}_{2} - V(1-\gamma)_{1})}{(1 - \gamma)}

              = \frac{-nRT_{1}(11^{\gamma - 1} - 1)}{1 - \gamma}

              = \frac{-5.05 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 292.5 (11^{1.4 - 1} - 1)}{1 - 1.4}

              = 49.41 kJ

Therefore, work required to produce the same compression in an adiabatic process is 49.41 kJ.

(c)   We know that for an isothermal process,

               P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}

or,       P_{2} = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}

                    = 1 atm (\frac{V_{1}}{\frac{V_{1}}{11}})

                    = 11 atm

Hence, the required pressure is 11 atm.

(d)   For adiabatic process,  

          P_{1}V^{\gamma}_{1} = P_{2}V^{\gamma}_{2}

or,       P_{2} = P_{1} (\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}})^{1.4}

                    = 1 atm (\frac{V_{1}}{\frac{V_{1}}{11}})^{1.4}

                    = 28.7 atm

Therefore, required pressure is 28.7 atm.

You are an electrician installing the wiring in a new home. The homeowner desires that a ceiling fan with light kits be installe
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

3 fans per 15 A circuit

Explanation:

From the question and the data given, the light load let fan would have been

(60 * 4)/120 = 240/120 = 2 A.

Next, we add the current of the fan motor to it, so,

2 A + 1.8 A = 3.8 A.

Since the devices are continuos duty and the circuit current must be limited to 80%, then the Breaker load max would be

0.8 * 15 A = 12 A.

Now, we can get the number if fans, which will be

12 A/ 3.8 A = 3.16 fans, or approximately, 3 fans per 15 A circuit.
