Homework Statement
a thermometer wall mounted through the wall of a steam pipe is a steel tube with 0.1 in wall thickness, 0.5 in outer diameter, 2 in length and k=26W/(mK). The flow produces an h value of 100W/(m^2K) on the outside surface of the well. If the thermometer reads 149 deg C...
In deriving the governing equation for a vibrating string, there are several assumptions that are made. One of the assumptions that I had a hard time understanding was the following.
Once the string is split into n particles, the force of tension on each particle from the particles in the...
Hello all,
I am currently working on a project where I am to analyze the rotation of a shaft in a particular piece of machinery and use this information to get a meaningful relationship between two other independent parameters of the machine. The rotation of the shaft is the only indicator that...
I am trying to use the fundamental relation: Tds = dU + pdV and equate it with the partial expansion of U = U(V,p), however, I keep getting stuck because I do not know how to get the relationship of the change in U with either a change in V or p for a given temperature.
Homework Statement
Show that the internal energy of a material whose equation of state has the form p = f(V), T is independent of the volume and the pressure. That is
\left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial V}\right)_{T} = 0
\left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial p}\right)_{T} = 0

C_p = 5/2 R;
I did the integration and I got the right answer. But the question remains, the specific heat capacity at constant pressure; C_p should be used at constant pressure. Here, the pressure is changing? A qualitative expalnation would suffice. Thanks
Homework Statement
what is the entropy of 1.0 litre of gasoues n2 at Ta=350 K and Pa=2.0 bar given that So = 191.61 J/(K gmol) at To = 298.15 K and Po = 1 bar?
Homework Equations
I think : S(at 350) - So = NC_p ln (Ta/To) - NR ln(Pa/po)
The Attempt at a Solution
My problem is, C_p...
The unit for the temperatures, you mean. I expressed them in Farenheits (deg F)..That will be t1 = 310.92 K and t2=255.37 K. Since heat is being drawn from a body with a lower temperature than the resevour, we need to supply work. The minimum amount of work would be what we would need for a...
Homework Statement
Find the minimum amount of work required to extract 4000 J of heat from a body at 0 deg F, when the temprature of the environment is 100 deg F.
Homework Equations
W = (1 - t2/t1) * Q1
The Attempt at a Solution
My answer is 1072 J
instructor says 870.19, how??
