An insulated piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.3 m^3 of carbon dioxide at 200 kpa and 27 ∘ c. an electric switch is turned on, and a 110-v source supplies current to a resistance heater inside the cylinder for a period of 10 min. the pressure is held constant during the process, while the volume is doubled. determine the current that passes through the resistance heater.

Ahouse has the following electrical appliance usage (1) single 40w lamp used for 4 hours per day (2) single 60w fan used for 12 hours per day (3) single 200w refrigerator that runs 24 hours per day with compressor run 12 hours and off 12 hours find the solar power inverter size in watt with correction factor of 1.25.

The thermal expansion or contraction of a given metal is a function of the f a)-density b)-initial temperature c)- temperature difference d)- linear coefficient of thermal expansion e)- final temperature f)- original length

An ideal otto cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 8. the minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 300 k and 1340 k. use constant specific heats at room temperature to determine (a) the amount of heat transferred to the air during the heat- addition kj/kg, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the thermal efficiency of a carnot cycle ope limits. process, in rating between the same temperature
