How to study thermodynamics?

Thermodynamics is one of the few engineering courses that I would say are more conceptual than computaional. I can not emphasise how important it is to fully understand thermodynamic terminology and process. Once you understand those any problems can be easily worked out.

What I recommend is that you go through you thermodynamics book and read it carefully highlighting the important points and summarizing them in a spare notebook. The first few chapters are full of indroductory concepts such as the state of a system, processes, closed and open systems, etc. That I reccomend you memorize(with understanding ofcourse) as these are carried on all throughout.

As chapters get more complex I recommend flow charts and mind maps with as much condensed information as possible.
Hope this helps <3

.a. What size vessel holds 2 kg water at 80°C such that 70% is vapor? What are the pressure and internal energy? b. A 1.6 m3 ves

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Part a: The volume of vessel is 4.7680 $m^3$ and total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

Part b: The quality of the mixture is 90.3% or 0.903, temperature is 120 °C and total internal energy is 4660 kJ.

Explanation:

Part a:

As per given data

m=2 kg

T=80 °C =80+273=353 K

Dryness=70% vapour =0.7

<em>From the steam tables at 80 °C</em>

Specific volume of saturated vapours=v_g=3.40527 $m^3/kg$

Specific volume of saturated liquid=v_f=0.00102 $m^3/kg$

Now the relation of total specific volume for a specific dryness value is given as

$v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)$

Substituting the values give

$v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)\\v=0.00102+0.7(3.40527-0.00102)\\v_f=2.38399 m^3/kg$

Now the volume of vessel is given as

$v=\frac{V}{m}\\V=v \times m\\V=2.38399 \times 2\\V=4.7680 m^3$

So the volume of vessel is 4.7680 $m^3$ .

Similarly for T=80 and dryness ratio of 0.7 from the table of steam

Pressure=P=47.4 kPa

Specific internal energy is given as u=1840 kJ/kg

So the total internal energy is given as

$u=\frac{U}{m}\\U=u \times m\\U=1840 \times 2\\U=3680 kJ$

The total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

So the volume of vessel is 4.7680 $m^3$ and total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

Part b

Volume of vessel is given as 1.6

mass is given as 2 kg

Pressure is given as 0.2 MPa or 200 kPa

Now the specific volume is given as

$v=\frac{V}{m}\\v=\frac{1.6}{2}\\v=0.8 m^3/kg$

So from steam tables for Pressure=200 kPa and specific volume as 0.8 gives

Temperature=T=120 °C

Quality=x=0.903 ≈ 90.3%

Specific internal energy =u=2330 kJ/kg

The total internal energy is given as

$u=\frac{U}{m}\\U=u \times m\\U=2330 \times 2\\U=4660 kJ$

So the quality of the mixture is 90.3% or 0.903, temperature is 120 °C and total internal energy is 4660 kJ.

Use the graph to determine which statement is true about the end behavior of f(x).

Airida [17]

Answer:

As the x-values go to negative infinity, the function’s values go to positive infinity.

Explanation:

if the ans choices are:

As the x-values go to negative infinity, the function’s values go to negative infinity.

As the x-values go to negative infinity, the function’s values go to positive infinity.

As the x-values go to positive infinity, the function’s values go to negative infinity.

As the x-values go to positive infinity, the function’s values go to zero.

the ans is the 2nd choice

Two dogbone specimens of identical geometry but made of two different materials: steel and aluminum are tested under tension at

makkiz [27]

Answer:

$\dot L_{steel} = 3.448\times 10^{-4}\,\frac{in}{min}$

Explanation:

The Young's module is:

$E = \frac{\sigma}{\frac{\Delta L}{L_{o}} }$

$E = \frac{\sigma\cdot L_{o}}{\dot L \cdot \Delta t}$

Let assume that both specimens have the same geometry and load rate. Then:

$E_{aluminium} \cdot \dot L_{aluminium} = E_{steel} \cdot \dot L_{steel}$

The displacement rate for steel is:

$\dot L_{steel} = \frac{E_{aluminium}}{E_{steel}}\cdot \dot L_{aluminium}$

$\dot L_{steel} = \left(\frac{10000\,ksi}{29000\,ksi}\right)\cdot (0.001\,\frac{in}{min} )$

$\dot L_{steel} = 3.448\times 10^{-4}\,\frac{in}{min}$

Provide one example of a bad collision, and suggest an engineering solution to avoid the collision.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

1). Keep your distance. Drive far enough behind the car in front of you so you can stop safely. ...

Drive strategically. Avoid situations that could force you to suddenly use your brakes. ...

Don't get distracted. ...

Don't drive when drowsy or under the influence.

2). By far the deadliest accident type is the head-on collision. Head-on collisions consider both vehicle's speed at the time of the crash, which means even an accident at lower speeds can be catastrophic

Explanation:

first is how to avoid the collision and second is bad collision
