You check the weather and find that the winds are coming are coming from the west at 15 miles per hour. this information describes wind's velocity, direction, acceleration, or speed?

The simple interest on a loan of $200 at 10 percent interest per year is $10 per year until the loan is paid off. $15 per year until the loan is paid off. $20 per year until the loan is paid off. $25 per year until the loan is paid off.

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.

Properties seen when one one substance changes to another are known as properties
