Many roller coasters today have loops, either as stand-alone loops or as parts of corkscrews. in stand-alone loops, the loops are teardrop shaped and not one complete circle. write a brief essay as to why you think they are constructed that way.

Nitrogen (n2) undergoes an internally reversible process from 6 bar, 247°c during which pν1.2 = constant. the initial volume is 0.1 m3 and the work for the process is 50 kj. assuming ideal gas behavior, and neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine heat transfer, in kj, and the entropy change, in kj/k.
