1 answer:

Luba_88 [7]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

The risk of catastrophic wildfire is a real and serious threat facing those who reside in the forested areas of Boulder County. Dating back to the Black Tiger Fire of 1989, wildfires have collectively destroyed some 250 homes or other structures, burned over 16,000 acres, and threatened the lives and properties of thousands of mountain residents. In an attempt to mitigate the loss of life and property in Boulder County, the Land Use Department has included wildfire mitigation measures in the planning review and building permit process.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

The final temperature of water is 381.39 °C.

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of water = 5 kg

Heat transfer at constant pressure Q = 2960 KJ

Initial temperature = 240 °C

We know that heat transfer at constant pressure given as follows

$Q=mC_p\Delta T$

We know that for water

$C_p=4.187\ \frac{KJ}{kg.K}$

Lets take final temperature of water is T

So

$Q=mC_p\Delta T$

$2960=5\times 4.187(T-240)$

T=381.39 °C

So the final temperature of water is 381.39 °C.

A spring-loaded piston-cylinder contains 1 kg of carbon dioxide. This system is heated from 104 kPa and 25 °C to 1,068 kPa and 3

labwork [276]

Answer:

Q = -68.859 kJ

Explanation:

given details

mass $co_2 = 1 kg$

initial pressure P_1 = 104 kPa

Temperature T_1 = 25 Degree C = 25+ 273 K = 298 K

final pressure P_2 = 1068 kPa

Temperature T_2 = 311 Degree C = 311+ 273 K = 584 K

we know that

molecular mass of $co_2 = 44$

R = 8.314/44 = 0.189 kJ/kg K

c_v = 0.657 kJ/kgK

from ideal gas equation

PV =mRT

$V_1 = \frac{m RT_1}{P_1}$

$=\frac{1*0.189*298}{104}$

$V_1 = 0.5415 m3$

$V_2 = \frac{m RT_2}{P_2}$

$=\frac{1*0.189*584}{1068}$

$V_1 = 0.1033 m3$

WORK DONE

$W =P_{avg}*{V_2-V_1}$

w = 586*(0.1033 -0.514)

W =256.76 kJ

INTERNAL ENERGY IS

$\Delta U = m *c_v*{V_2-V_1}$

$\Delta U = 1*0.657*(584-298)$

$\Delta U =187.902 kJ$

HEAT TRANSFER

$Q = \Delta U +W$

= 187.902 +(-256.46)

Q = -68.859 kJ
