Problem 3.052 a piston–cylinder assembly contains 2 lb of water, initially at 100 lbf/in.2 and 600°f. the water undergoes two processes in series: a constant-pressure process followed by a constant volume process. at the end of the constant-volume process, the temperature is 300°f and the water is a two-phase liquid–vapor mixture with a quality of 40%. neglect kinetic and potential energy effects. determine the work and heat transfer for each process, all in btu.

Light that is polarized along the vertical direction is incident on a sheet of polarizing material. only 96% of the intensity of the light passes through the sheet and strikes a second sheet of polarizing material. no light passes through the second sheet. what angle does the transmission axis of the second sheet make with the vertical?

Aspecified volume of space contains an electric field for which the magnitude is given by e=e0cos(ωt). suppose that e0 = 20 v/m and ω = 1.0 × 107 s−1. part a what is the maximum displacement current through a 0.80 m2 cross-sectional area of this volume? express your answer with the appropriate units. idisp,max i d i s p , m a x = nothing nothing request answer part b how would this area have to be oriented relative to the electric field to get this maximum displacement current?
