katrin [286]

Answer:

a. 9947 m

b. 99476 times

c. 2*10^11 molecules

Explanation:

a) To find the mean free path of the air molecules you use the following formula:

$\lambda=\frac{RT}{\sqrt{2}\pi d^2N_AP}$

R: ideal gas constant = 8.3144 Pam^3/mol K

P: pressure = 1.5*10^{-6} Pa

T: temperature = 300K

N_A: Avogadros' constant = 2.022*10^{23}molecules/mol

d: diameter of the particle = 0.25nm=0.25*10^-9m

By replacing all these values you obtain:

$\lambda=\frac{(8.3144 Pa m^3/mol K)(300K)}{\sqrt{2}\pi (0.25*10^{-9}m)^2(6.02*10^{23})(1.5*10^{-6}Pa)}=9947.62m$

b) If we assume that the molecule, at the average, is at the center of the chamber, the times the molecule will collide is:

$n_{collision}=\frac{9947.62m}{0.05m}\approx198952\ times$

c) By using the equation of the ideal gases you obtain:

$PV=NRT\\\\N=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{(1.5*10^{-6}Pa)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.05m)^3)}{(8.3144Pa\ m^3/mol\ K)(300K)}=3.14*10^{-13}mol\\\\n=(3.14*10^{-13})(6.02*10^{23})\ molecules\approx2*10^{11}\ molecules$

Air modeled as an ideal gas enters a combustion chamber at 20 lbf/in.2

motikmotik

Answer:

The answer is " $112.97 \ \frac{ft}{s}$ "

Explanation:

Air flowing into the $p_1 = 20 \ \frac{lbf}{in^2}$

Flow rate of the mass $m = 230.556 \frac{lbm}{s}$

inlet temperature $T_1 = 700^{\circ} F$

Pipeline $A= 5 \times 4 \ ft$

Its air is modelled as an ideal gas Apply the ideum gas rule to the air to calcule the basic volume v:

$\to \bar{R} = 1545 \ ft \frac{lbf}{lbmol ^{\circ} R}\\\\ \to M= 28.97 \frac{lb}{\bmol}\\\\ \to pv=RT \\\\\to v= \frac{\frac{\bar{R}}{M}T}{p}$

$= \frac{\frac{1545}{28.97}(70^{\circ}F+459.67)}{20} \times \frac{1}{144}\\\\=9.8 \frac{ft3}{lb}$

$V= \frac{mv}{A}$

$= \frac{230.556 \frac{lbm}{s} \times 9.8 \frac{ft^3}{lb}}{5 \times 4 \ ft^2}\\\\= 112.97 \frac{ft}{s}$

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The pressure reduces to 2.588 bars.

Explanation:

According to Bernoulli's theorem for ideal flow we have

$\frac{P}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{V^{2}}{2g}+z=constant$

Since the losses are neglected thus applying this theorm between upper and lower porion we have

$\frac{P_{u}}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{V-{u}^{2}}{2g}+z_{u}=\frac{P_{L}}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{V{L}^{2}}{2g}+z_{L}$

Now by continuity equation we have

$A_{u}v_{u}=A_{L}v_{L}\\\\\therefore v_{L}=\frac{A_{u}}{A_{L}}\times v_{u}\\\\v_{L}=\frac{d^{2}_{u}}{d^{2}_{L}}\times v_{u}\\\\\therefore v_{L}=\frac{2500}{900}\times 3.5\\\\\therefore v_{L}=9.72m/s$

Applying the values in the Bernoulli's equation we get

$\frac{P_{L}}{\gamma _{w}}=\frac{300000}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{3.5^{2}}{2g}-\frac{9.72^{2}}{2g}(\because z_{L}=z_{u})\\\\\frac{P_{L}}{\gamma _{w}}=26.38m\\\\\therefore P_{L}=258885.8Pa\\\\\therefore P_{L}=2.588bars$
