typical lightbulb contains a tungsten filament that reaches a temperature ofabout 2900 K, roughly half the surface temperature of the Sun. (a) Treating the filament as a blackbody, determine the frequency for which its radiation is a maximum. (b) Do you expect the lightbulb to radiate more energy in the visible or in the infrared part of the spectrum

At what point the certain object feels zero garvitational force between earth and the moon. take the required information from the book. required: distance away from earth or moon

Act has a 1200: 5 or 240: 1 turns ratio. it is short circuited. what is the maximum current at 1200a primary if we put a 100ohm resistor across the secondary end of the ct. use it as current source circuit.

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.
