Thirty-six grams of air in a piston–cylinder assembly undergo a stirling cycle with a compression ratio of 7.5. at the beginning of the isothermal compression, the pressure and volume are 1 bar and 0.03 m3, respectively. the temperature during the isothermal expansion is 1400 k. assuming the ideal gas model and ignoring kinetic and potential energy effects, determine: (a) the net work, in kj. (b) the percent thermal efficiency. (c) the mean effective pressure, in bar.

given data:

determine the horse power (h.p) = ?

force applied to move the box(f) = 10 pounds,

box lifted from a distance         (d) = 3 feet

time taken to lift                         (t) = 10 sec,

the horse power is defined as amount of work required to move a load. the horse power is equal to 550 foot-pound per second

                  1 h.p   = 550 foot-pound/second

it can also be defined as the the load that need to be move a body for certain distance in a certain amount of time.

mathematically,

                      h.p = (force × distance)/ time

                            = (10 × 3)/ 10

                            = 30/10

                            = 3 foot -pound/sec

hence, the horse power is needed to move the box is 3 foot-pound/second

important note: 1 h.p = 550 foot-pound/second = 746 watts

are there answer choices to this question? this seems like a question where you have options to choose from.

think its the third option
