25pts the diagram shows the positions of the sun, moon and earth during spring tides, when the high tides are at their highest and low tides at their lowest. what is it about these positions that causes these high and low tides?

Consider two metallic rods mounted on insulated supports. one is neutral, the other positively charged. you bring the two rods close to each, but without contact, and briefly ground the the neutral rod by touching it with your hand. show answer correct answer what would be resulting charge (if any) on the initially neutral rod

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.
