As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.

Sobre transformações cíclicas, são feitas algumas afirmações, determine quais estão corretas. i – a variação de energia interna em uma transformação cíclica é nula; ii – o trabalho, em uma transformação cíclica, é sempre positivo; iii – ao completar um ciclo, o gás tem a mesma temperatura com a qual começou a transformação; iv – uma transformação cíclica é, obrigatoriamente, composta de transformações conhecidas, como adiabática, isocórica, etc: a) i e iii b) i e ii c) ii e iii d) i e iv e) iii e iv

You have a resistor and a capacitor of unknown values. first, you charge the capacitor and discharge it through the resistor. by monitoring the capacitor voltage on an oscilloscope, you see that the voltage decays to half its initial value in 2.70 miss . you then use the resistor and capacitor to make a low-pass filter. what is the crossover frequency fc?
