An atmospheric column that is heated will _______________ while one that is cooled will ________________, in order to maintain hydrostatic balance.
Answer : An atmospheric column that is heated will rise while one that is cooled will sink, in order to maintain hydrostatic balance.
Explanation : Warm air rises and cold air sinks due to the pressure difference created by differential heating.
An atmospheric column that is heated will _______________ while one that is cooled will ________________, in...
One means of producing liquid oxygen from atmospheric air is to take advantage of the phase equilibrium properties of oxygen-nitrogen mixtures. This system is illustrated in Fig. P16–121. In this cascaded-reactors system, dry atmospheric air is cooled in the first reactor until liquid is formed. According to the phase-equilibrium properties, this liquid will be richer in oxygen than in the vapor phase. The vapor in the first reactor is discarded while the oxygen enriched liquid leaves the first reactor and...
Question 18 1/1 pts A can filled with air at atmospheric pressure is heated in boiling water until it reaches 100 degrees Celsius. The can is sealed and then cooled such that the pressure inside the can is measured to be 90 kPa. What is the final temperature of the can? 310 K 59 degrees C 290 K 41 degrees C
Hot air balloons rise when atmospheric gases are heated, typically by burning propane, and the density of the gases decreases. While you are watching one of these balloons rise, a large rip appears. Which of the following atmospheric gases present will be the first to escape? Argon (Ar), Carbon dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen (N2), or Oxygen (O2) ? State you answer, then briefly explain why you chose your answer.
A sample of methane gas (CH4) at 11.3 oC is either heated or cooled. The pressure increases from 1.20 atm to 2.70 atm, and the volume of the sample changes from 4.67 L to 1.70 L. To what temperature, in oC, was the methane heated or cooled?
1.1) cylinder is heated on one end and cooled on the other. The heater is powered by 12 ± 0.05 V and 2.5 ± 0.1 A. A mass flow rate of 0.07 ± 0.01 L/s of water (cp = 4200 ± 20 J / kgK ) is used for cooling, experiences a temperature difference of AT = 8.7 ± 0.1°C. Determine the heat loss between the heater and the water, and find the uncertainty. 1.2)The cylinder in the "1.1" question,...
Steel is sequentially heated and cooled (annealed) to relieve stresses and to make it less brittle. Consider a 100-mm-thick plate (k = 45 W/m.K, p= 7800 kg/m3, cp = 500 J/kg.K) that is initially at a uniform temperature of 180°C and is heated (on both sides) in a gas-fired furnace for which T. = 700°C and h= 500 W/m2.K. How long will it take for a minimum temperature of 550°C to be reached in the plate? sec. It will take...
For each system listed in the first column of the table below, decide (if possible) whether the change described in the second column will increase the entropy S of the system, decrease S, or leave S unchanged. If you don't have enough information to decide, check the "not enough information" button in the last column System Change A S The nitrogen is heated from 2.0 °C to 19.0 °C while the volume is held constant at 8.0 L A few...
Question 2 How much heat is required when 25 mols of 1-Hexene is heated at atmospheric pressure from 412 K to 1293.14 K?
An air-conditioner provides 0.5 lbm/s of air at 69F cooled from outside atmospheric air at 90F.Estimate the amount of power needed to operate the unit assuming it has a coefficient ofperformance that is half of what a Carnot unit would have.
7.33 A square (10 mm × 10 mm) silicon chip is insulated on one side and cooled on the opposite side by atmospheric air in parallel flow at u 20 m/s and T 24°C. When in use, electrical power dissipation within the chip maintains a uniform heat flux at the cooled surface. If the chip temperature may not exceed 80°C at any point on its surface, what is the maximum allowable power? What is the maximunm allowable power if the...
