A gas in a piston-cylinder device is compressed, and as a result its temperature rises. is this a heat or work interaction?

2 answers:

The answer is both. The energy in the system is composed of heat and work. because of the temperature difference, the energy would be in the form of heat. Because of the force in executing the compression in the same direction, there is also work done.

Explanation:

When the gas is compressed under piston cylinder device it means that it is a closed system.And we know that in closed system only heat and work transfer can take place only ,there will be no any mass transfer between the system and surrounding.

During compression temperature of gas increases so the this may be cause on work done on the gas or maybe cause of heat supply to the gas.

100-ft-long horizontal pipeline transporting benzene develops a leak 43 ft from the high-pressure end. The diameter of the leak

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass flow rate of benzene from the leak in the pipeline containing benzene is:

$Q_m=AC_o\sqrt{2\rho g_cP_g}$

Here, $Q_m$ is the mass flow rate through the leak of the pipeline. $A$ is the area of the hole, $C_o$ is the discharge rate, $\rho$ is the fluid density, $g_c$ is the gravitational constant and $P_g$ is the constant gauge pressure within the process unit.

The diametre of the leak (d) is 0.1 in. Convert from in to ft.

$d=(0.1 in)(\frac{1ft}{12in})\\=8.33\times 10^{-3}ft$

Calculate the area (A) of the hole. The area of the hole is.

$A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

Substitute 3.14 for $\pi$ and $8.33\times 10^{-3}ft$ for d and calculate A.

$A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}\\\\\frac{(3.14)(8.33\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}\\\\5.45\times 10^{-5}ft^2$

The specific gravity of benzene is 0.8794. Specific gravity is the ratio of th density of a substance to the density of a reference substance.

Specific gravity of benzene = density of benzenee/denity of reference substance

Rewrite the expression in terms of density of benzene.

Density of benzene = specific gravity of benzene x density of reference substance

Take the reference substance as water. Density of water is $62.4\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3}$ . Calculate density of benzene.

Density of benzene = specific gravity of benzene x density of reference substance

$=(0.8794)(62.4\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3})\\\\54.9\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3}$

Calculate the pressure at the point of leak. The pressure is the average of the pressure of the high and low pressure end. Write the expression to calculate the average pressure.

Upstream x distance from upstream pressure end

$P_g$ =+DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE X DISTANCE FROM THE DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE END/ TOTAL LENGTH OF THE HORIZONTAL PIPELINE

Calculate the distance from the downstream pressure end. The distance from upstream pressure end is 43 ft. Total of the pipe is 100 ft.

Distance from the downstream pressure end = Total length of the pipe - Distance from the upstream pressure end

The distance from upstream pressure end is 43 ft. Total length of the pipe is 100 ft. Substitute the values in the equation.

Distance from the downstream pressure end = Total length of the pipe - Distance from the upstream pressure end

= 100ft - 43ft = 57 ft

Substitute 50 psig for upstream, 43 ft fr distance from the upstream pressure end, 40 psig for downstream pressure, 57 ft for distance from the downstream pressure end, and 100 ft for the total length of the horizontal pipeline and calculate $P_g$ .

Upstream x distance from upstream pressure end

$P_g$ =+DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE X DISTANCE FROM THE DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE END/ TOTAL LENGTH OF THE HORIZONTAL PIPELINE

$=\frac{(50psig\times 43ft)+(40psig \times 57ft)}{100ft}\\\\=44.3psig$

Convert the pressure from psig to $Ib_f/ft^2$

$P_g=(44.3psig)(\frac{1\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2}}{1psig})(144\frac{in^2}{ft^2})\\\\=6,379.2\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2}$

The leak is like a sharp orifice. Take the value of the discharge coefficient as 0.61.

Substitute $5.45\times 10^{-5}ft^2$ for A. 0.61 for $C_o$ , $54.9\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3}$ for $\rho$ , $32.17\frac{ft.Ib_m}{Ib_f.s^2}$ for $g_c$ , and $6,379.2\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2}$ for $P_g$ and calculate $Q_m$

$Q_m=AC_o\sqrt{2\rho g_cP_g}\\\\=(5.45\times 10^{-5}ft^2)(0.61)\sqrt{2(54.9\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3})(32.17\frac{ft.Ib_m}{Ib_f.s^2})(6,379.2\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2})}\\\\(3.3245\times 10^{-5}ft^2)\sqrt{22,533,031.21\frac{Ib^2_m}{ft^4.s^2}}\\\\=0.158\frac{Ib_m}{s}$

The mass flow rate of benzene through the leak in the pipeline is $0.158\frac{Ib_m}{s}$

How much energy does a 50 kg rock have if it is sitting on the edge of a 15 m cliff?

noname [10]

Answer:

7350 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the rock sitting on the edge of the cliff is given by:

$U=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the rock

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the height of the cliff

In this problem, we have

m = 50 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

h = 15 m

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find:

$U=(50 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(15 m)=7350 J$

A uniform cube with mass 0.700 kg and volume 0.0270 m3 is sitting on the floor. A uniform sphere with radius 0.400 m and mass 0.

Sav [38]

Answer:

44 1/3 cm

Explanation:

The cube has an edge length of ∛0.027 m = 0.3 m, so a center of mass (CoM) 15 cm above the floor.

The sphere's center of mass is 40 cm above the top of the cube, so is 70 cm above the floor. The weighted average of the CoM locations is ...

((15 cm)(0.700 kg) +(70 cm)(0.800 kg))/(0.700 kg +0.800 kg)

= (10.5 kg·cm +56 kg·cm)/(1.500 kg) = 44.333... cm

The center of mass of the two-object system is 44 1/3 cm above the floor.

A 8.00g sample of substance (substance, molar mass = 152.0 g/mol) was combusted in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 6.

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

ΔH°comb=-5899.5 kJ/mol

Explanation:

First, consider the energy balance:

$m_{c} *Cp*(T_{2}-T_{1})=-n_{s} *H_{c}$ Where $m_{c}$ is the calorimeter mass and $n_{s}$ is the number of moles of the samples; $H_{c}$ is the combustion enthalpy. The energy balance says that the energy that the reaction release is employed in rise the temperature of the calorimeter, which is designed to be adiabatic, so it is suppose that the total energy is employed rising the calorimeter temperature.
