To produce work a gas is expanded adiabatically from 3 MPa and 300oC to 80 kPa in a piston-cylinder device. Which of these two choices –air with an isentropic expansion efficiency of 90% or neon with an isentropic expansion efficiency of 80% – will produce the most work?

Explanation:

Check attachment for solution

Given that, .

The initial gas pressure is

P1 = 3 MPa

The initial gas temperature

T1 = 300°C

The final gas pressure is

P2 = 80 KPa

Which are of two choices

1. Air with an isentropic expansion of 90% efficiency

2. Neon with an isentropic expansion of 80% efficiency

We want to know which will produce more work

so easy. just google the electromagnetic waves and it’ll pop up.

dec 23, 2016 - a load of bricks weighing 680 n a distance of 10 m across a parking lot. if if the worker pushes the cart with a constant force of 209 n, what work= force x distance = 220 n x 10 m = 2200 n.m = 2200 j i don't know where the person got it from, but the initial part, work= force x distance me.
