To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the rules and concepts related to logarithmic operations.
From the definition of logarithm we know that,
In this way for the given example we have that a logarithm with base 10 expressed in the problem can be represented as,
We can express this also as,
By properties of the logarithms we know that the logarithm of a power of a number is equal to the product between the exponent of the power and the logarithm of the number.
So this can be expressed as
Since the definition of the base logarithm 10 of 10 is equal to 1 then
The value of the given logarithm is equal to 6
Answer:
Heat
Explanation:
Energy that is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object is called heat.
Answer:
A) 60%
B) p2 = 1237.2 kPa
v2 = 0.348 m^3
C) w1-2 = w3-4 = 1615.5 kJ
Q2-3 = 60 kJ
Explanation:
A) calculate thermal efficiency
Л = 1 - 
where Tl = 300 k
Th = 750 k
hence thermal efficiency ( Л ) = [1 - ( 300 / 750 )] * 100 = 60%
B) calculate the pressure and volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion
calculate pressure ( P2 ) :
= P3v3 = mRT3 ----- (1)
v3 = 0.4m , mR = 2* 0.287, T3 = 750
hence P3 = 1076.25
next equation to determine P2
Qex = p3v3 ln( p2/p3 )
60 = 1076.25 * 0.4 ln(p2/p3)
hence ; P2 = 1237.2 kpa
calculate volume ( V2 )
p2v2 = p3v3
v2 = p3v3 / p2
= (1076.25 * 0.4 ) / 1237.2
= 0.348 m^3
C) calculate the work and heat transfer for each four processes
work :
W1-2 = mCv( T2 - T1 )
= 2*0.718 ( 750 - 300 ) = 1615.5 kJ
W3-4 = 1615.5 kJ
heat transfer
Q2-3 = W2-3 = 60KJ
Q3-4 = 0
