Coriolis effect

That’s what I remember from whenever I was in that unit.

The answer should be The Coriolis Effect because that is the #1 main cause of ocean currents.

An air-standard Diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 16 and a cutoff ratio of 2. At the beginning of the compression process,

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

$a.T_3=1723.8kPa\\b.n=0.563\\c.MEP=674.95kPa$

Explanation:

a. Internal energy and the relative specific volume at $s_1$ are determined from A-17: $u_1=214.07kJ/kg, \ \alpha_r_1=621.2$ .

The relative specific volume at $s_2$ is calculated from the compression ratio:

$\alpha_r_2=\frac{\alpha_r_1}{r}\\=\frac{621.2}{16}\\=38.825$

#from this, the temperature and enthalpy at state 2, $s_2$ can be determined using interpolations $T_2=862K$ and $h_2=890.9kJ/kg$ . The specific volume at $s_1$ can then be determined as:

$\alpha_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}\\\\=\frac{0.287\times 300}{95} m^3/kg\\0.906316m^3/kg$

Specific volume, $s_2$ :

$\alpha_2=\frac{\alpha_1}{r}\\=\frac{0.906316}{16}m^3/kg\\=0.05664m^3/kg$

The pressures at $s_2 \ and\ s_3$ is:

$P_2=P_3=\frac{RT_2}{\alpha_2}\\\\=\frac{0.287\times862}{0.05664}\\=4367.06kPa$

.The thermal efficiency=> maximum temperature at $s_3$ can be obtained from the expansion work at constant pressure during $s_2-s_3$

$\bigtriangleup \omega_2_-_3=P(\alpha_3-\alpha_2)\\R(T_3-T_2)=P\alpha(r_c-1)\\T_3=T_2+\frac{P\alpha_2}{R}(r_c-1)\\\\=(862+\frac{4367\times 0.05664}{0.287}(2-1))K\\=1723.84K$

b.Relative SV and enthalpy at $s_3$ are obtained for the given temperature with interpolation with data from A-17 : $a_r_3=4.553 \ and\ h_3=1909.62kJ/kg$

Relative SV at $s_4$ is

$a_r_4=\frac{r}{r_c}\alpha _r_3$

= $=\frac{16}{2}\times4.533\\=36.424$

Thermal efficiency occurs when the heat loss is equal to the internal energy decrease and heat gain equal to enthalpy increase;

$n=1-\frac{q_o}{q_i}\\=1-\frac{u_4-u_1}{h_3-h_2}\\=1-\frac{65903-214.07}{1909.62-890.9}\\=0.563$

Hence, the thermal efficiency is 0.563

c. The mean relative pressure is calculated from its standard definition:

$MEP=\frac{\omega}{\alpa_1-\alpa_2}\\=\frac{q_i-q_o}{\alpha_1(1-1/r)}\\=\frac{1909.62-890.9-(65903-214.7)}{0.90632(1-1/16)}\\=674.95kPa$

Hence, the mean effective relative pressure is 674.95kPa

Describe the water cycle process starting from an afternoon thunderstorm. There are many different variations that could happen.

spin [16.1K]

Explanation:

The water cycle basically involves five steps:

evaporation and transpiration ⇄
condensation, ⇄
precipitation, ⇄
runoff, ⇄
infiltration ⇄

So when a thunderstorm occurs it helps in completing the precipitation process by enabling the release of water vapor stored up in the atmosphere to fall on the ground as rain.

After this, the water runoffs to the surface of the ground, on plants, into rocks, rivers, and lakes.

Next, the Infiltration process enables the water on the ground surface to enter the soil some of which becomes groundwater.

The cycle begins again as the evaporation and transpiration process begins, where the groundwater as a result of heat from the sun is taken back into the atmosphere, while water in plants by means of transpiration goes back into the atmosphere.

It then condenses and falls back as precipitation again.
