A piston-cylinder assembly contains air at a pressure of 30 lbf/in2 and a volume of 0.75 ft3. The air is heated at constant pressure until its volume is doubled. Assuming the ideal gas model, with constant specific heat ratio of k=1.4 for the air, determine the work and heat transfer, each in BTU.

Answer from: alannismichelle9

Work W=4.16 Btu

Heat transfer Q=14.56 Btu

Explanation:

To calculate the work W we will use the given pressure p=30 psia and volume V₁=0.75 ft³ V₂=2.V₁

$W=p.(V_{2}-V_{1} )\\W=30psia.(1.5ft^{3}-0.175ft^{3} ).\frac{144in^{2} }{1ft^{2} } .\frac{1Btu}{778lbf.ft}\\ W=4.16Btu$

Now for heat transfer

$Q=W+m.(u_{2}-u_{1} )\\Q=W+\frac{m.R.(T_{2}- T_{1})}{k-1}\\$

The last equation we will rewrite using ideal gas law to calculate heat transfer

$Q=W+\frac{p(V_{2}-V_{1} )}{k-1}\\ As\\W=p(V_{2}-V_{1} )\\So\\Q=W+\frac{W}{k-1} \\Q=4.16Btu+\frac{4.16Btu}{1.4-1} \\Q=14.56Btu$

Answer from: Quest

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like $\frac{1}{3}$ . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

max planckalbert einsteinerwin schrödingermany

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

superposition (where 1 thing can be this and that at the same time),entanglement (where two particles are seemingly connected by some sort of unknown (or known) force, energy, matter (i know all that can be the same at least it was at the beginning)

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

Efficiency is an action of doing something. for example when you take a test. good efficiency means you did well but bad effeciency or no effiency means you did bad.

Imagine you work as a consultant, and your daily job involves listening to the constructive criticism of others. as part of your job, you must listen to opposing viewpoints to make important decisions. in this activity, you are a consulting dam engineer. you must make a decision about four different dams; should they be repaired, taken down, or left alone? you will listen to contrasting opinions about what should be done with the dams before you make the final decision. as the consulting dam engineer, what do you decide to do with this dam? explain your reasoning. by making your decision, did you support the opinions of the mayor and/or the dam safety official? why or why not?
