Air contained in a rigid, insulated tank fitted with a paddle wheel, initially at 300 K, 2 bar, and a volume of 2 m3, is stirred until its temperature is 500 K. Assuming the ideal gas model, for the air, and ignoring kinetic and potential energy, determine

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.

During a car accident, a 125kg driver is moving at 31m/s and in 1.5s is brought to rest by an inflating air bag. what is the magnitude of the change in momentum to the driver

Which of these statements best explains how the hydrosphere interacts with the atmosphere to affect global climate? mountains block rain clouds and cause changes in global rainfall and evaporation. humans burn fossil fuels to produce greenhouse gases which cause global warming. humans cut down trees which affects the amount of oxygen in different parts of the globe. greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, dissolve in oceans and prevent global warming.
