Answer:

c. The sum of the two and the direction of  either.

Explanation:

If both sources are linear, we can apply the superposition theorem, which in this case, states simply that the resulting current is just the algebraic sum of both currents.

This is due to any of them, is independent from the other, so we can calculate her influence without any other source present.

Assuming that both sources are ideal (no shunt resistances) , we can apply superposition, removing all sources but one each time, just replacing the sources by an open circuit.

Let's suppose that we have a 5A source flowing to the rigth, and a 3A source in the opposite direction.

Applying superposition, we have:

I₁ = 5A (the another source is removed)

I₂ = -3A (The minus sign indicates that is flowing in the opposite direction, 5A source is removed)

I = I₁ + I₂ = 5A + (-3A) = 2 A

As it can be seen , the resulting current is the sum (algebraic) of both current sources, and has the direction of either of the sources, depending on the absolute value of the current sources.

(If the directions of I₁ and I₂ were inverted, with the same absolute values, the direction would be the opposite).

We could have arrived to the same result applying KCL.

Two kilograms of oxygen fills the cylinder of a piston-cylinder assembly. The initial volume and pressure are 2 m3 and 1 bar, re
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: Heat transfer (Q) is 521 kJ.

Explanation: In the piston-cilinder assembly, we can suppose that the oxygen act as an ideal gas, so, it can be used the General Gas Equation:

PV=\frac{m}{M}RT, where:

P is pressure;

V is volume;

m is mass;

M is molar mass;

R is a constant: R = 8.314.10^{-5} m³bar.K⁻¹.mol⁻¹;

T is temperature;

Using this equation, find the intial temperature:

PV = \frac{m}{M}RT

1.2 = \frac{2}{16}.8.314.10^{-5}.T

T = 1.924.10^{5} K

To determine the final temperature, use Combined Gas Law:

\frac{P_{i} . V_{i} }{T_{i} } = \frac{P.V }{T}, in which, the left side of the equality is related to the initial values and the right side, to the final values.

As pressure is constant:

\frac{V_{i} }{T_{i} } =\frac{V}{T}

T = \frac{V.T_{i} }{V_{i} }

T = \frac{4.1.924.10^{-5} }{2}

T = 3.85.10^{5} K

With the temperatures, calculate the heat transfer of the process:

Q = m.k.ΔT, where:

k is heat constant

ΔT = T - T_{i}

Q = m.k.ΔT

Q = 2.1.35.(3.85 - 1.92).10^{5}

Q = 521 kJ

The heat transfer in the process is 521 kJ.

A system consisting of 3 lb of water vapor in a piston–cylinder assembly, initially at 350°F and a volume of 71.7 ft3, is expand
Alla [95]

Answer:

isobaric expansion = 281.09 Btu

isothermal compression= 72 Btu

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is:

Q_{AB}=W_{AB}+deltaU_{AB}

where:

Q=heat transferred

W= work

U=internal energy  

W_{AB}=P*(V_{B}-V_{A})

U_{AB}=n*C_{v}(T_{2}-T_{1})

P=pressure, V= volume, T= temperature, n =  moles, Cv= specific heat at constant volume.

In a isobaric process heat transferred is:

Q=P*(V_{B}-V_{A})+n*C_{v}(T_{2}-T_{1})

For an isothermal process (T2-T1 = 0) so

Q=P*(V_{B}-V_{A})= W_{AB}

From the data we know that the energy transferred to the system in the isothermal compression by work was 72 Btu that is the heat transferred to the system.

For the first process

Q=P*(V_{B}-V_{A})+n*C_{v}(T_{2}-T_{1})

we have to properties at the beginning of the process : temperature (350°F) and specific volume (V/mass)

specific-volume=\frac{71.7 ft^{3}}{3Lb}=23.9\frac{ft^{3}}{Lb}

we use this information in the appropriate unit to find the pressure in thermodynamic tables.

T1= 176°C

v1= 1.49 m^3/kg

P=1.37 bar

in the second state we have

P=1.37 bar =137000Pa

v_{2}=\frac{85.38ft^{3}}{3Lb}= 28.46\frac{ft^{3}}{Lb}

with thee properties we check in the thermodynamic tables

T2= 255°C

n=mass/Mw = 3Lb*\frac {1kg}{2.2Lb}*\frac{1000gr}{1kg}*\frac{1mol}{18gr}=75.75 mol

we usually find Cp on tables for water but from the Mayer relation we have:

C_{v}=C_{p}+R

Cp for water vapor is: 33.12 J/mol*K

R=8.314 J/mol*K

Cv= 41.434 J/mol*K

replacing in the equation for Q

Q=137000 Pa*(2.41m^{3}-2.030m^{3})+75.75mol*41.434\frac{ J}{mol*K}*(528.15-449.81 K)=296569J

296569J =281.09 Btu

An annealed copper strip of 228 mm wide and 25 mm thick being rolled to a thickness of 20 mm, in one pass. The roll radius is 30
sdas [7]

Answer:

The roll force is 1.59 MN

The power required in this operation is 644.96 kW

Explanation:

Given;

width of the annealed copper, w = 228 m

thickness of the copper, h₀ = 25 mm

final thickness, hf = 20 mm

roll radius, R = 300 mm

The roll force is given by;

F = LwY_{avg}

where;

w is the width of the annealed copper

Y_{avg} is average true stress of the strip in the roll gap

L is length of arc in contact, and for frictionless situation it is given as;

L = \sqrt{R(h_o-h_f)} \\\\L = \sqrt{300(25-20)}\\\\L = 38.73 \ mm

Now, determine the average true stress, Y_{avg}, for the annealed copper;

The absolute value of the true strain, ε = ln(25/20)

ε = 0.223

from true stress vs true strain graph; at true strain of 0.223, the true stress is 280 MPa.

Then, the average true stress = ¹/₂(280 MPa.) = 180 MPa

Finally determine the roll force;

F = LwY_{avg}

F = (\frac{38.73 }{1000})(\frac{228}{1000})*180 \ MPa\\\\F =   1.59 \ MN

The power required in this operation is given by;

P = \frac{2\pi FLN}{60}\\\\P =  \frac{2\pi (1.59*10^6)(0.03873)(100)}{60}\\\\P = 644955.2 \ W\\\\P = 644.96 \ kW
