    Electric forces and electric fields

    for the pentagon, there is a + charge at 1, - @2, - @3, + @4, - @5, and + @6. In part A, we are asled to find the net electric field at point P, which is half way between 1 and 2. Each side is 2 mm long, and each charge is an elemental charge. So, I did- E1=E2=kq/(r^2)...for r I used...

    Solving Refrigerator Problem: Calculating COP and Work

    The question reads... A heat pump is a refrigerator that uses the inside of a building as a hot-temp reservoir in the winter and the outside of the building as a hot-temp reservoir in the summer. So... For a carnot refrigerator engine operating between 25C and 40C in the summer, what is the...

    Thermodynamics Fun: Is Net Work = Change in Q for Brayton Cycle?

    For a brayton cycle on a pressure and temperature diagram, using helium gas, is it reasonable to have the net work for the cycle and the change in Q for the cycle to come out to be equal to each other?

    Finding Heat Flow & Work for Brayton Cycle w/ Helium (2 Moles)

    The question shows a pic of a brayton cycle on a pressure temperature graph. The gas is helium, and there are two moles. We are given two temperatures and asked to find the other two. I did this just fine. But, then we are asked to find the heat flows per kilogram of helium in each cycle and...

    Solving Thermodynamics Problems with Helium

    thermodynamics! Another question regarding this question : The question gives a picture of a brayton cycle with temperature on the x-axis and pressure on the y-axis. It is for the monatomic gas, helium, and we are told that there are two moles of helium. The diagram consists of two adiabatic...

    Carnot refrigerator and work done

    The question reads... A heat pump is essentially a refrigerator engine that uses the inside of a building as a hot reservoir in the winter and the outside of the building as the hot reservoir in the summer. A) For a carnot refrigerator engine operating between 25 C and 40 C in the summer, what...

    Finding Heat Flow in a Brayton Cycle for Helium

    The question gives a picture of a brayton cycle with temperature on the x-axis and pressure on the y-axis. It is for the monatomic gas, helium, and we are told that there are two moles. The diagram consists of two adiabatic processes and two isobaris processes. You are given two temparatures...
